The Accentra AUSL SL8865FL (formerly Yale SL8800 Series) is the heavy-duty security version of the 8800 Bathroom 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 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: Bathroom Lock

• Inside Thumbturn: Latchbolt retracted by knob/lever either side except when outside knob/lever is locked by thumbturn either side — the outside lever can be locked from the inside by hand, without needing a key in it.
• Outside Thumbturn Releases the Lock: Outside thumbturn unlocks outside knob/lever — a thumbturn on the OUTSIDE face releases the outside lever again without a key, so the room can be opened from the corridor in an emergency.
• Closing the Door Releases the Privacy Lock: Automatically unlocks when door latches — shutting the door unlocks the outside lever again, so the privacy setting is made from the inside with the door already closed.
• Free Egress -- and the Outside Trim Unlocks With It: Operating inside knob/lever retracts the latchbolt, automatically unlocking outside knob/lever — the inside lever is never locked, so a single motion always gets a person out -- and on this function that same motion also unlocks the outside trim, so the opening does not re-secure itself behind whoever left.

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.
