Product Description
L9025-02L-605 Schlage L Series Exit / Communicating Lock — Grade 1 Commercial Mortise Lock, Bright Brass (US3)
The Schlage L9025-02L-605 is the L Series Exit / Communicating Lock (ANSI F31, Grade 1) in Bright Brass (US3), built on the mortise case that has been the benchmark for commercial door hardware for decades. No outside trim; lever (or knob) only inside; latchbolt and deadlocking auxiliary latch. Non-keyed. Stairwell exit and communicating doors where entry from the outside is never wanted but free single-motion egress is required from inside. Common on one-way exit and pass-through openings between rooms. Specify door handing when ordering.
How This Function Operates
Outside: No outside trim — blank plate, no lever and no operation from the outside face.
Inside: Latchbolt is retracted by the inside lever (or knob) only. Inside lever always free for immediate egress.
Key: None — exit/communicating function is non-keyed and has no outside operation.

A: Yes — UL 10C / ULC-S104 Listed for 3-hour fire doors. L9000 trim is field-reversible without disassembly, so it adapts to either hand on site.
