LM9200 Product description and overview
• Two-point latching system that utilizes concealed cables to
secure the opening at the top and bottom of the door.
• Available less bottom latch for “top latch only” applications.
• Intended for use in pair door applications where both leaves
need to be active.
• Based on Schlage L mortise lock and available with most
Schlage L levers, trims and options.
• Requires door prepped specically for the Schlage LM9200.

2a Install intumescent.
Fire components must be installed to maintain re rating of the opening.
Note door handing on intumescent. The intumescent is applied to the side of the re barrier that will be opposite
the door stop.
CAUTION!
Intumescent must be properly aligned before adhesive contacts the re barrier surface.
Adhesive is permanent and not repositionable.
Peel one side of the adhesive backing from intumescent as shown.
Apply the intumescent adhesive to the re barrier.

Feed the cable through the spool.
Fit the cable end into the cable hole.
Check that the cable is properly
routed through the spool.

5e LM9225 ONLY: Install inside mounting plate.
Posts down
Install mounting plate on
stop side (interior side).
5f
Hold the mortise chassis away from the pocket so that the cables
are slightly taut.
IMPORTANT
If clicking noises are heard during clockwise adjustment,
unwind the cable with one -half turn counter-clockwise. Then,
continue clockwise adjustment. If clicking persists, check that
cable is not caught on an edge or jammed at spool covers.
6 Check latch operation – top latch
L The following steps are shown with rose trim. Escutcheon is
installed in the same manner except where shown otherwise.
6a Assemble the exterior lever.
Attach mounting posts to the lever.
Fully tighten
mounting posts
on the screws.
Place spring cage on the lever.
Turn the cable spool screw(s) clockwise.
For 2-point latch, alternate between top and bottom.
The mortise chassis will pull into the pocket.
Before the mortise chassis is completely inside the pocket,
check that the cable is not caught on the mortise chassis or a
spool cover.
The spring
cage arrows
must point in
direction of lever
down rotation.
6b
Place the exterior lever assembly and the spindle and spring into
the door.
Do not fasten the exterior lever to the door at this time.
Rose trim
Continue to turn the cable spool screw(s) clockwise (alternating
top and bottom for 2-point latch).
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN!
Stop turning the spool screw(s) when the mortise chassis is
completely inside the door.
Additional adjustment will be done at a later step.

6d Turn top cable adjustment screw clockwise.
Turn top screw until a
clicking sound is heard
from the spool.
6e Rotate the exterior lever to release the latch(es).
After lever is rotated, latch(es) should stay in released position.
The tilting link indicates a 2-point system is properly adjusted.
With latches released as described at step 6e, check the center
slot on the front edge of the mortise case. The tilting link should be
visible extending slightly at the opening as shown below.
If the tilting link is visible slightly extended at the center slot,
skip to page 10, step 7d.
If the tilting link IS NOT extended slightly at the center slot
opening as shown, follow the instructions at step 7a below.
Tilting link
7a
If lever droops or does not return to home position, check
spring cage for correct orientation (see illustration at step 6a).
If lever does not rotate enough to release latch(es), turn
the bottom cable spool screw counter-clockwise (2-point latch
only) until the lever rotates fully and releases the top latch.
If the latch(es) do not stay in the released position, rotate
the top latchbolt by hand to released position.
See illustrations below.
Turn the bottom cable spool screw counter-clockwise 3 turns.
The tilting link should be visible extending slightly at the center slot
(see illustration above ).
Observe

If the tilting link is visible slightly extended at the center slot,
skip to page 10, step 7d.
If the tilting link IS NOT visible extended slightly at the center
slot, follow the instructions at step 7b.
Top latch released
If the top latch does not rotate when pushed by hand, then
turn the top cable spool screw clockwise until clicking is heard
from the top spool.
If clicking is heard immediately, check that the cable is not caught
or jammed.

8 Lock the latch(es)
Turn the top cable spool screw counter-clockwise one
additional turn.
The tilting link should now be visible extending slightly at the
center slot opening.
7c Check rotation of the lever.
Lock (extend) the top latch by hand. If applicable, the bottom latch
should also lock.
Pull the top
latch as shown
to lock.
Latch locked
If the lever does not rotate, turn the bottom cable spool screw
counter-clockwise 1-2 turns. Then, repeat rotation of the lever.
Both latches should be released.
7d Check bottom latchbolt.
• The bottom latchbolt should be ush with the bottom of the
door, or may extend not more than Z\,” past the bottom surface
of the door.
• If the bottom latchbolt extends more than Z\,” past the bottom
surface of the door, adjust the bottom cable adjustment
screw clockwise until the latchbolt is ush or not more than
Z\,” past the bottom surface of the door.
Adjust bottom
cable adjustment
screw if necessary
For 2-point latch only:
Check the bottom latch to be sure it is extended. The bottom
latchbolt should extend >\znʺ past the bottom door surface.
Additional adjustment of the bottom latch is described in later
steps.
