Door Handing

One of the revolutionary features of the L-Series mortise lock is that handing can be done by the distributor or installer quickly and easily without opening the lock case. This feature allows a Schlage distributor to order L-Series locks as stock and customize the handing to each order’s specification. This means off-the- shelf delivery to meet today’s fast track construction requirements. The mix and match lever with knob combinations available along with a quickly reversible lock chassis provides the ultimate in stocking, ordering, and installation flexibility. Orders can be filled from on-hand stock, minimizing delivery problems.

Changing Lock Hand

No more than two simple steps are required to change the hand of any L-Series lock. Rotate the latch unit 180° and/or change the catch screw position.

The hand is determined by the direction it swings when viewed from the exterior or corridor side of the door.

Pull and rotate

A. Change Latchbolt Handing

Remove armored front. Pull latchbolt away from chassis and rotate complete unit 180° to reverse the door handing. Reinstall armored front.

Relocate catch screw

B. Change Chassis Handing

Remove catch screw from one side of chassis and install on opposite side. For RH and RR, the catch screw will be on the lock case side. For LH and LR, the catch screw will be on the lock case cover.
