Schlage L9070J 06A 626 Classroom Mortise Lock

Product Description

The SCHLAGE L9070J 06A 626 is a Grade 1 commercial mortise lock designed for classroom security applications. It features a Full Size Interchangeable Core (FSIC) less core configuration, meaning the lock ships without a core installed and accepts standard FSIC cylinders sourced separately. The 06 lever trim is paired with an A-style rose, and the satin chrome (626) finish provides a clean, durable surface suited for high-traffic institutional environments. This lock is field reversible, allowing handing changes on site without returning to the shop.

This mortise lock is intended for commercial and institutional applications such as K-12 schools, colleges, and government facilities where classroom security function is required. The classroom function keeps the exterior lever locked at all times unless released by key or interior button, allowing occupants to lock down from inside. Licensed locksmiths and commercial door hardware installers are the typical trade for this product.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified commercial door hardware technician familiar with mortise lock prep and ANSI door prep standards. Ensure the door is properly prepped for the mortise pocket and that the strike plate is correctly aligned before final fastening. Confirm cylinder sourcing separately, as this unit ships less core. Consult local building codes and ADA requirements for lever height and operational force compliance.
