L Series Motorized Latch Retraction Lock

Quiet control is the hallmark of these L Series locks. Three functions offer latch retraction for momentary or continuous operation. Three additional functions also feature separately managed lever control. All offer the same Grade 1, fire-rated quality lock you expect from Schlage.

Overview

Latch retraction capable L Series Grade 1 locks create application opportunities across many markets whether the need is security, controlled access or hands-free operation. They can replace the need for electric strike use in a form that is more secure and aesthetically pleasing. Quiet operation makes them ideal for Health Care environments or anywhere repeat user exit and entry can become an annoyance.
