Accentra (Yale) 8801FL Mortise Passage Lever Set

About this item

The Accentra 8801FL is the passage function mortise lock from the 8800 Series, formerly sold under the Yale brand. If you've been searching Yale 8801, Yale 8800, or Accentra 8800, this is the same product. Accentra is the current brand name for what was Yale commercial hardware, and the 8800 Series part numbers, templates, and hardware prep have not changed. The 8801FL you specify today installs into the same door prep as the Yale 8801 you may have been using for years.

What the Passage Function Means

The 8801FL operates on ANSI Function F01, which is a passage or closet function. Both levers retract the latch at all times from either side. There's no locking, no key cylinder, and no thumbturn. This is the correct specification for any interior door that needs to latch but never needs to lock: conference rooms, corridors, mechanical rooms, open office areas, storage rooms that don't require security, and restroom entries on multi-occupancy facilities. If the door needs to lock from either side, you're looking at a different 8800 Series function number.

Why the 8800 Series Is an Industry Standard

The Accentra 8800 series shows up on commercial door schedules across healthcare, education, hospitality, and government construction because it genuinely delivers Grade 1 performance at a competitive price point. The lockcase is wrought steel, zinc dichromated, measuring 5-1/16" x 4-1/8" x 1" (129mm x 105mm x 25mm). The latchbolt is 3/4" throw, stainless steel, two-piece anti-friction camming action, which means the latch compresses smoothly under door pressure and snaps back cleanly without sticking or dragging. The deadbolt is one-piece stainless steel with a 1" throw, extending further into the reinforced steel case than a standard deadbolt when in the locked position on functions that use it.

The trim packages are solid construction designed to resist vandalism. The front is freefloating, which means it adjusts automatically from flat to the standard bevel of 1/8" in 2" without extra parts or field modification.

Certifications

ANSI/BHMA A156.13 Series 1000 Operational Grade 1 certified. UL and cUL listed for use on fire-rated doors up to and including 3 hours, and on 20-minute wood doors. Compliant with ADA accessibility requirements and ANSI 117.1, which matters on any commercial door covered by accessibility codes. Windstorm resistant.

Door Thickness, Backset, and Strike

Standard door thickness is 1-3/4" (44mm). With standard trims, the 8801FL installs on doors from 1-3/4" to 3-1/4" thick, which covers a wide range of hollow metal, aluminum, and wood door constructions. Backset is 2-3/4" (70mm). The strike is ANSI standard, 4-7/8" x 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" (124mm x 32mm x 32mm) lip to center, and it's non-handed, which simplifies stock management on large door schedules.

Handing and Installation

The 8801FL is handed but uses quick lever handling and a field reversible latchbolt. You can reverse the hand in the field without special tools or sending products back. That matters on a mixed-handing door schedule where field conditions don't always match what was specified.
