Product Identification
The Simplex 8148M-LH-26D is a heavy-duty mechanical pushbutton mortise lever lock finished in satin chrome. It provides keyless exterior access via a vandal-resistant keypad with solid metal pushbuttons and allows free egress from the interior. The lock operates without batteries and supports a single access code programmed at the keypad.
Handing and Core Compatibility
This unit is configured for left-hand doors measuring 44 to 57 mm thick and requires a standard 86 mortise preparation. It accepts LFIC Medeco, Assa Abloy or Yale cores in 5 or 6 pin lengths, which are sold separately. Buyers needing right-hand operation, a different backset or an integrated core should consider other models.
Decisive Specification
The lock features a 70 mm backset paired with a 19 mm two-piece anti-friction latch. This combination determines fit within the mortise pocket and alignment with the strike plate. Verify these dimensions against your door prep before ordering.
