Mechanical pushbutton mortise lever lock

The Simplex 8148S-LH-26D is a heavy-duty mechanical pushbutton mortise lever lock finished in satin chrome US26D. It provides exterior access by combination while allowing free egress from the interior. The lock is designed for left-hand doors and accepts LFIC Schlage cores, which are sold separately. Its vandal-resistant numeric keypad uses solid metal pushbuttons and a single access code programmed at the door.

Door-thickness and backset constraints

This lock fits wood or metal doors 44 mm to 57 mm thick with standard 86 mortise preparation. The backset is fixed at 70 mm and the two-piece anti-friction latch projects 19 mm. An optional deadbolt throws 25 mm and uses a 4-7/8" x 1-1/4" x 1/4" mortise strike plate. Installers must verify the door thickness range and mortise cut-out before fitting.

LFIC Schlage core compatibility

The lock is built specifically for Large Format Interchangeable Core Schlage cylinders; no other core type will operate the key override. Buyers who need a different keyway or a small-format core cannot use this model. The core must be sourced separately and installed to complete the locking function.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 2-3/4" backset or the 70 mm backset for my door?

They are the same dimension — 2-3/4 inches equals 70 mm — so select the single 8148S-LH-26D model that lists both.

How does the 1" deadbolt perform once the lock is installed in a real door?

The 1" (25 mm) deadbolt throws fully into the mortise strike, giving a solid 25 mm bolt engagement for high security on doors 44–57 mm thick.

What does the standard 86 mortise preparation cap in practice?

The 86 prep limits the lock to doors 44–57 mm thick with a 70 mm backset and accepts only LFIC Schlage cores (core sold separately).
