The Accentra ARSL SL8835FL (formerly Yale SL8800 Series) is the heavy-duty security version of the 8800 Exit Lock Function mortise latchset, 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 Arcadia (ARSL) 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, the Arcadia lever is handed -- give the hand when ordering -- and it 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: Exit Lock

• Life-Safety Free Egress: Latchbolt retracted by knob/lever inside — the inside lever is never locked, so a single motion always gets a person out.
• Deadbolt Turned by Hand Inside: Deadbolt operated by thumbturn inside — the deadbolt is thrown and withdrawn by hand from the inside, with no key needed on that side.
• Nothing on the Outside Face: No outside operations — there is no lever and no cylinder outside -- this opening is worked from the inside only, and the trim you order is the inside trim.
• One Motion Retracts Both Bolts: Anti-panic operation. Operating inside knob/lever retracts the latchbolt and deadbolt simultaneously. — in an emergency a single turn of the inside lever pulls the latchbolt and the deadbolt back together, so nobody has to release two things to get out.
• Anti-Shim Protection: Deadlocking latchbolt — a small plunger beside the latchbolt rides the strike when the door closes; with it depressed the latchbolt cannot be shimmed back with a card.
• 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.
• Handed Lever -- Specify the Hand: This lever design is made to a hand, so give the hand on the order; the lock body itself is field reversible.
• 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.
