Accentra AUSL SL8823FL Storeroom Mortise Lockset – Grade 1 Security

Function Info: Latchbolt retracted by knob/lever outside. Deadbolt operated by key outside. When deadbolt is projected, outside knob/lever is automatically locked. No inside knob/lever or cylinder. Not available with E3 or E4 escutcheons.

The Accentra AUSL SL8823FL (formerly Yale SL8800 Series) is the heavy-duty security version of the 8800 Storeroom Lock Function mortise lockset, built for openings where heavy abuse or vandalism is a concern. It is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.13 Series 1000, Operational Grade 1, and the SL8800 with its security escutcheon also meets Security Grade 1. It carries the Augusta (AUSL) lever on the SL security escutcheon.

Built for openings that are opened and closed thousands of times a year, it uses a wrought steel, zinc dichromate plated case, 3/8" solid steel (heat treated) hubs and a 3/4" throw stainless steel anti-friction latchbolt. Supplied in 630 Satin Stainless Steel, it is field reversible and ships with the door prep and installation drawings for the trim shown.

The SL security escutcheon is what sets this lock apart: heavy duty escutcheon trim that is flat against the door to resist damage and vandalism; lever attached directly to escutcheon for added security; thrubolted security head screws offer added protection. The SL8800 is furnished in 630 Satin Stainless Steel only; levers are Nickel Plated to match Stainless Steel.

Function Details: Storeroom Lock

• Outside Lever Works Until It Is Locked: Latchbolt retracted by knob/lever outside — the outside lever retracts the latchbolt normally, and stops the moment the lock is set against it.
• Deadbolt Worked from Outside: Deadbolt operated by key outside — the key throws the deadbolt to secure the opening and withdraws it to release it.
• Projecting the Deadbolt Locks the Outside Lever: When deadbolt is projected, outside knob/lever is automatically locked — with the deadbolt thrown the outside lever is locked, so a single action secures both the bolt and the trim.
• Nothing on the Inside Face: No inside knob/lever or cylinder — there is no thumbturn and no cylinder inside -- this deadbolt is worked from the outside only, so the door cannot be unlocked from within.
• Not Offered on Every Escutcheon: Not available with E3 or E4 escutcheons — the factory does not build this function with those two plates, so the trim has to be chosen from the ones it is offered in.

Key Performance Features

• ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 Certified: Independently tested to the highest operational and security grade the standard defines, for long service life in demanding commercial and institutional openings.
• 3-Hour Fire Rating: UL and cUL listed for use on fire-rated door assemblies, so the opening stays code compliant.
• Accessible Operation: The lever is operable without tight grasping, pinching or wrist twisting, which is what ADA 404.2.7 requires of an accessible opening.
• Field Reversible: Furnished right hand and re-handed in the field, so one lock suits either door swing without a return.
• Anti-Friction Latchbolt: A stainless steel one-piece latch that closes quietly and resists the drag that wears a latch out on a high-traffic door.
• Heavy-Duty Hubs: Heat-treated solid steel through the point that takes every turn of the lever, which is where a lighter lock fails first.
• Mechanical Warranty: Backed for the long term against defects in the mechanical lock.
