Door preparation for the Schlage electrified mortise locks.
There are two updates when prepping the door to allow for wiring, see template L1 on our website.
Update 1: Mortise pocket depth change from 4 7/16” to 4 ¾”. This provides additional space for cables in the back of the mortise pocket; the additional space is NOT required but rather a “nice to have” during
installation. Installing the new L909x into the original pocket is no different than installing a L9080/82 electrified in that same pocket. Note that firerating is NOT affected by the increase in mortise depth.
Update 2: Molex connector “pocket” (wood doors only). The Allegion Connect system is now standard on all L909x series locks. Each lock will come standard with 3” leads attached to a Molex connector that can then be paired with Allegion Connect harnesses and hinges for quick and simple installation. If installing in a hollow metal door, no prep changes are required – the electrical raceway in hollow metal doors is large
enough to accommodate the Molex connector. However, if installed in wood doors AND used with a Molex connector then a “pocket” will need to be drilled into the back of the door to provide space for the connectors (this requirement is consistent with any mortise lock using a connector system in a wood door). A ¾” deep pocket up to 2 5/8” inches deep can be added to the wood door raceway without impacting fire rating.
Alternately, the connector can be cut off and the lock installed with traditional wire splicing. This method of installation negates the need for the “pocket” for the Molex connector.
