Schlage L9070B 07A 626 Classroom Mortise Lock

Product Description

The SCHLAGE L9070B 07A 626 is a Grade 1 commercial mortise lock configured for classroom function with Small Format Interchangeable Core (SFIC) prep and supplied less core. It mounts in a standard mortise pocket and accepts a field-installed SFIC cylinder, giving facilities managers the ability to integrate the lock into an existing keying system without returning hardware to the factory. The 07 lever trim and A rose are factory-installed. The satin chrome (626) finish provides a clean, professional appearance suited to institutional interiors. Installation and hardware replacement are handled by licensed locksmiths or commercial door hardware technicians.

This lock is designed for classroom and institutional applications where the outside lever is normally locked and can be locked or unlocked by key from the outside, with free egress from the inside at all times. Typical installations include K-12 schools, universities, government facilities, and commercial office environments where lockdown capability and access control are required. The field-reversible handing allows the same unit to be adapted to left- or right-hand door swings without ordering a separate SKU.

• Classroom function: outside lever locked by default, key-controlled from outside, always free egress from inside

• Grade 1 construction: meets ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 standards for heavy commercial duty

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation mortise lock for commercial and institutional doors prepared for standard mortise lock pockets with SFIC cylinder prep.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified commercial door hardware technician familiar with mortise lock preparation and ANSI door prep standards. Confirm door hand before installation; the unit is field reversible but must be set correctly before the lock body is secured in the mortise pocket. The SFIC core is not included and must be ordered separately and keyed to the facility master system prior to final installation. Verify that the door and frame meet the required mortise prep dimensions before starting work.
