Schlage L Series Locks Offer Dealers Access Control Versatility

CARMEL, Ind.—Allegion US, a provider of security solutions, technology and services, has introduced the latest addition to the Schlage L Series: Motorized Latch Retraction mortise locks.

First released to the market in March 2025, Schlage asserts the 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. Schlage says that its new locks can replace the need for electric strike use in a form that is more secure and aesthetically pleasing. The Allegion US brand also suggests the new locks’ quiet operation makes them an access control possibility for healthcare environments or anywhere disturbances from repeated user exit and entry occurs.

“With the introduction of motorized latch retraction to our trusted L Series, we’re providing a solution that not only enhances security and improves accessibility, it also delivers quiet, seamless operation for demanding environments like healthcare and education,” says Jim Bembenek, senior project manager at Allegion US. “This innovation reflects our commitment to creating smarter, more efficient access solutions that meet the evolving needs of our customers.”

Schlage L Series Locks Support a Range of Applications

Schlage boasts that quiet control is the hallmark of these L Series locks. The Motorized Latch Retraction locks are offered in six functions that span keyed, non-keyed and lever control options. All of the lock products employ an ultra-quiet stepper motor using 24-volt DC to produce high torque at low speeds. Three functions, Schlage continues, offer latch retraction for momentary or continuous operation. Three additional L Series functions also feature lever control allowing the locking and unlocking of the lever managed by a separate motor. Nearly all allow options for both request-to-exit (RX) and latchbolt (LX) monitoring. Additionally, a patent-pending feature detects binding conditions on the motor and adjusts as needed to overcome side load, static pressure and warped door conditions.

The popular lock manufacturer emphasizes that as part of the L Series mortise family, motorized latch retraction functions fit a variety of applications. the locks can be retrofitted to the same pocket of a standard L Series mortise and electrified through the door allowing the frame to stay intact. Wiring then connects on the same side as an auto operator for situations requiring hands-free operation such as accessible restrooms.

Other hands-free uses include infection control and clean room applications, spaces requiring cart access, delivery doors and high security data centers where robotic access may be needed. Additionally, dealers can use the locks for applications that include openings requiring limited or timed access and in K-12 schools where controlled access for visitor entrances, administration offices, or classroom doors is needed.

The Regulatory Landscape for Clinical CCTV in 2026 As we move through 2026, medical and dental practices across the UK face unprecedented scrutiny regarding patient privacy and physical security.

Why Weapons Detection Systems Fail Without Proper Planning

The weapons detection market has exploded over the past three years, driven by heightened security concerns across every vertical market. Healthcare facilities, educational institutions, corporate campuses, and entertainment venues are all investing in advanced weapons screening technology. For security integrators, this represents significant opportunity – and significant risk. Unlike traditional security systems that can be “set and forget,” weapons detection implementations succeed or fail based on factors that extend far beyond technical installation. The difference between a profitable, referral-generating project and a costly support nightmare often comes down to understanding challenges that don’t appear in any technical manual. The False Promise of “Plug and Play” Vendors market their systems as simple to deploy and operate. The reality is more complex. Advanced detection technology may be sophisticated, but successful implementation requires integrators to think beyond netw...
