Product Description
Schlage L9082LB L Series Institution Mortise Lock Body, Case Only
This is the lock case by itself: the Schlage L9082 institution mortise body that sits inside the door. It does not include levers, roses or escutcheons, a cylinder, or a strike. Buy it when the trim on the door is good and the case has worn out, broken, or needs to change function.
How the Institution function works: Both levers are always locked. A key from either side retracts the latch.
Where it goes: Doors where a key controls passage in both directions. Check your life-safety code before putting a lock that needs a key to exit on any door.
Before you order, pull the old case and read the function number stamped on it. L Series cases share one case size, so a door prepped for an L Series lock takes this one. The function is what has to match what the door is supposed to do.

Pro-Installer FAQ
Q: Will my existing Schlage L Series levers fit this case?
A: L Series trim is built for L Series cases, so in most retrofits the trim comes off the old case and goes back on the new one. If you are changing function, check that your trim suits the new function. A keyed function needs a cylinder hole in the trim.
Q: Does this come with a cylinder?
A: No. Keyed functions take a Schlage mortise cylinder, ordered separately.
Q: Not sure which function you have?
A: The function number is stamped on the case. Call us at (877) 365-5625 with it and we will confirm before you order.
