Grade 1 Commercial Mortise Locks
When a hardware schedule calls for a Grade 1 mortise lock, it is asking for an ANSI/BHMA A156.13 lockbody on a commercial or institutional door -- the lock that sits in a pocket in the door edge, not a cylindrical lock bored through the face. The five series on this page are built for that spec: Sargent 8200, Accentra 8800FL, Corbin Russwin ML2000, Hager 3800, and PDQ MR.
What is the difference between a mortise lock and a cylindrical lock?
A mortise lockset takes its name from the mortise: a rectangular pocket cut into the door edge. The lockbody goes in that pocket, and the levers or knobs mount on the faces. A cylindrical lockset is a different door prep and a different lockbody -- it installs through a bored hole in the face of the door. Specifiers write mortise when the opening was drawn that way, or when the job needs the heavier steel case and the function range a Grade 1 mortise series is cataloged for.
Which Grade 1 mortise series is on the schedule?
If the set already names 8200, 8800FL, ML2000, 3800, or MR, open that card. If you are comparing manufacturers, the cards state what each catalog prints for grade, handing, and warranty. Functions, trims, and finishes are on the series page -- this page is the manufacturer crosswalk, not a substitute for the function list.

Buying guide
- Pick the line: open the card for the series on your hardware schedule: Sargent 8200, Accentra 8800FL, Corbin Russwin ML2000, Hager 3800 or PDQ MR.
- Corbin Russwin ML2000: choose the trim design first (sectional, escutcheon, electrified or Behavioral Health) on the ML2000 trim designs page. Lockbodies and parts are on the ML2000 series page.
- Pick the function: match the function on the schedule, such as storeroom, entry and office, classroom, privacy, passage, dormitory, apartment corridor, faculty restroom or dummy trim.
- Pick the trim: escutcheon (plate) or sectional (rose) trim, then the lever design and finish on the series page.
- Special applications: ligature-resistant trim for Behavioral Health spaces, such as Sargent 8200 BHW and Corbin Russwin BHSS and BLSS.
- Check the door prep: a mortise lock needs a pocket cut in the door edge. Use the series template in the documents below before prepping the door.
