Description
The Schlage L9440 is an extra heavy-duty mortise lock built for high-traffic institutional environments including schools, hospitals, and factories. This ANSI Grade 1 certified lock withstands constant daily use and abuse, featuring a heavy-gauge steel case, all-metal zinc dichromate-plated working parts, and a two-piece anti-friction tongue that reduces wear.
The L9440 offers universal ten-function compatibility in a single case with field-reversible handing, making retrofit and installation flexible across beveled doors. This model includes a break-away spindle for security and easy replacement, hub blocking plate to discourage spindle manipulation, and fail-secure operation via spring-loaded fusible link. As an authorized Schlage dealer, E.D. Locks provides expert guidance on function selection, keying, and installation. Contact sales@edlocks.com or call 1-877-207-6067 for personalized assistance.
