Q: What is the L9080 x L283-263?
A: L283-263 and L283-239 are obsolete part numbers that were used to specify "request to exit" on the L9000 and LV9000 locks.

Q: Can this door lock be configured to unlock and stay unlocked?
A: This is no way to leave the L9080 lock set to stay unlocked from the ingress side of the lock.
Q: Hi! Is it possible to have the inside lever inoperative? We changed our mind and we would like both side to be always lock. Thank you,
A: It is indeed possible to have both sides of the lockset rigid with trim that would not operate the lockset. Before proceeding with this type of modification consider how you would operate the lock from the egress side of the opening as this type of lock, known as an Institutional type lock (review the ANSI F30 function) whose operational description would be - Latchbolt retracted by key from either side, Knob/lever on both sides always inoperative, Auxiliary latch deadlocks latchbolt when door is closed, would certainly be a violation of code for almost all occupancy types with the exception of most notably Detention and Correction type occupancies.
Q: doesnt unlock door key just turn cant get it to unlock need to get in room Asp how cani get it to open
A: When you rotate the key doesn't retract the latch bolt? if yes then your lock works correctly because the exterior trim will always be rigid because this is a L9080 which is an 80 function which equals Storeroom Function Mortise Lock.
Q: Thanks for the helpful video. I’m on a job now where I’m installing these same locksets, and am consistently having the same two problems on each one that I do- hoping you might have some ideas. The first thing is that the interior-side handle has very wimpy “spring-up” action when I turn it. The second thing is none of my cylinders function when I screw them in. I’ve tried it with and without the spacer collar and wave washer. Any ideas you may have would be hugely appreciated!!
A: Regarding the spring, does the interior spring cage work when you install it on the exterior side? Regarding the cylinder, can you tell me what cam you have installed on the back of the mortise cylinder?
Q: What model would I use if I wanted a non-locking handle that was previosly a storeroom lock?
A: The passage function of the Schlage L9000 would be the l9010 as seen here:

If you're going to remove that storeroom lock from the door and convert it to a passage function he will certainly need to purchase the mortise cassette only however you also need a dummy cylinder to fill in that hole that has been prepped for the keyed cylinder on the secured side of the door.
