Door Handing

One of the revolutionary features of the L-Series mortise lock is
that handing can be done by the distributor or installer quickly
and easily without opening the lock case. This feature allows a
Schlage distributor to order L-Series locks as stock and customize
the handing to each order's specification. This means off-the-
shelf delivery to meet today's fast track construction
requirements. The mix and match lever with knob combinations
available along with a quickly reversible lock chassis provides the
ultimate in stocking, ordering, and installation flexibility. Orders
can be filled from on-hand stock, minimizing delivery problems.
Changing Lock Hand
No more than two simple steps are required to change the hand
of any L-Series lock. Rotate the latch unit 180° and/or change
the catch screw position.
A. Change Latchbolt Handing
Remove armored front. Pull latchbolt away from chassis and
rotate complete unit 180° to reverse the door handing.
Reinstall armored front.
B. Change Chassis Handing
Remove catch screw from one side of chassis and install on
opposite side. For RH and RR, the catch screw will be on the
lock case side. For LH and LR, the catch screw will be on the
lock case cover.
