Schlage L283-601 Vandlgard Lock Case

Product Description

The SCHLAGE L283-601 is a Vandlgard lock case designed for commercial and institutional door hardware applications. The lock case serves as the internal mechanical assembly that houses the locking mechanism, providing the structural core of the lockset. This component is field reversible, meaning the hand of the door can be changed on site without returning the part or requiring a separate replacement unit. It is intended for installation by locksmiths, door hardware technicians, or qualified maintenance personnel familiar with commercial mortise hardware.

The L283-601 lock case is specified for use with the LV9050, LV9060, LV9070, and LV9071 series Vandlgard locksets. These are heavy-duty mortise-style lock bodies commonly found in high-traffic institutional and commercial environments such as schools, government buildings, and healthcare facilities. The field reversible design reduces inventory requirements for facilities that maintain mixed door handing across a single property.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified door hardware technician familiar with commercial mortise lock systems. Ensure the door is secured open and all tension is relieved from the locking mechanism before disassembly. Confirm door handing before finalizing field reversal. Refer to the manufacturer installation instructions and applicable local building codes for proper fastener requirements and function testing.
