Schlage L460J 626 Small Case Mortise Deadbolt Fsic

Product Description

The SCHLAGE L460J 626 is a Grade 1 small case mortise deadbolt designed for entrance and office door applications. It features a cylinder exterior with thumbturn interior operation and accepts a 6-pin Full Size Interchangeable Core (FSIC) in a less-core configuration, meaning the core is ordered separately. The face size measures 5-9/16 inches by 1-1/4 inches. Finished in satin chrome (626), this deadbolt is non-handed and can be installed on doors swinging in either direction. Licensed locksmiths, commercial door hardware installers, and facilities maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this hardware.

This mortise deadbolt is suited for commercial and institutional settings where Grade 1 security and key control flexibility are required. The FSIC less-core design supports large master key system deployments where facilities managers need to rekey locks without disassembling the door hardware. Typical applications include office suites, institutional corridors, and commercial entrance doors where a small case mortise body fits the prep. The non-handed design simplifies inventory management for contractors working across multiple openings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified commercial door hardware technician familiar with mortise lock prep dimensions and FSIC core insertion procedures. Verify the door prep cutout matches the mortise case dimensions before installation. Ensure the door is secured and access is controlled during core removal or installation to maintain site security. Consult the applicable building and fire codes, including IBC and local AHJ requirements, for exit hardware compliance on the specific opening.
