Quick Verdict

Accentra is the name National Lock Supply lists the Yale commercial line under, and the model numbers carry over: a "Yale 2100" is the Accentra (Yale) 2100 rim exit device. Match the part by model number first, then by door. Wide stile doors (4-1/2" minimum stile) take the 2100 or 7100. Narrow stile aluminum doors (2" minimum stile) take the 7200. Grade 2 cylindrical openings take the 4600LN family. Heavy-duty mortise openings use the 8800 series. Auxiliary deadbolts are the 112 and 197. Search the old Yale number on the product page, confirm size (36 or 48), finish code and keyway, and order.

Who is Accentra, and can I search old Yale numbers?

Accentra is the name NLS lists the Yale commercial line under. The product names on the site read "Accentra (Yale)", for example "Accentra (Yale) 2100 Rim Exit Device" and "Accentra (Yale) 3301 Architectural Door Closer". The model number is the identifier that matters, and it is the same number printed on the existing hardware: 2100, 7100, 7200, 4600LN, 8800, 112, 197, 1109, 1152, 1210.

Search by the number you read off the device or the original hardware schedule. For exit device parts, the Accentra (Yale) parts and accessories category is where the repair parts, trims and strikes sit. If you hold a part number like 311N or a long catalog number (206118200 style), search it inside that category and confirm against the device model before ordering. Do not order a repair part from the finish or the look of the old one.

Which Accentra exit device fits my door: 2100, 7100, 7200 or MELR?

Pick on stile width first. The Accentra (Yale) 2100 is a Grade 1 (ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Type 1) rim device for wide stile doors, 4-1/2" minimum stile, 1-3/4" standard door thickness. It comes in size 36 for 30" to 36" doors and size 48 for 36" to 48" doors, non-handed, with a 3/4" deadlocking stainless steel pullman latchbolt, hex key dogging, and finishes 630, 689, 691, 693 and 695. NLS lists it at about $415. Pairs of doors need a mullion. The 2100F is the same device in the fire exit hardware listing (GXHX), supplied with sex nuts and bolts and without dogging.

The 7100 is the wide stile body with 3-1/4" active projection (2-1/2" on the 2100) with a 5-year limited warranty. The 7100MELR adds motorized electric latch retraction: the solenoid needs a 24VDC regulated and filtered supply, 1A per device, 0.65A maximum during retraction and 0.2A holding. Power loss returns the device to the mechanical, self-latching life safety mode, so egress stays free. Channel selection (rim, SVR, CVR, mortise) is covered in the exit device types comparison.

The 7200 narrow stile rim device covers aluminum and metal doors with a 2" minimum stile, 3-1/4" active projection, Type 4 Grade 1, for panic-rated doors only. The 48" size is about $1,969 at NLS.

Trim is a separate order. The 626F escutcheon trim (classroom/storeroom, cylinder controls lever, cylinder sold separately, 13/16" projection) is for use with 1500, 2100 and 7000 series devices. Strikes and trim parts sit in the parts category above.

What are the Accentra 4600LN, 8800 and Nextouch locks?

4600LN cylindrical (Grade 2). The 4600LN series is certified ANSI/BHMA A156.2 Series 4000 Grade 2 and UL fire listed for all functions (3-hour fire doors). Door prep is ANSI/SDI A250.14 with a 2-1/8" bore, doors 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" thick, backset 2-3/4" standard with 2-3/8" optional, non-handed and field reversible, 1/2" throw deadlocking latchbolt. The model prefix is the trim: AU is the Augusta lever, CA is the Carolina knob. The function digits follow the ANSI function: 05 is storeroom/closet (F86), 07 is entry (F109). The AU4607LN entry lock with Augusta lever is about $106 at NLS, and the CA4607 is the same entry function with the Carolina knob. All cylinders ship 6-pin, keyed random in the Accentra PARA keyway, with two nickel silver keys. The full lineup is in the 4600LN series category.

Privacy with an indicator. The AUYPL02 is a Grade 1 non-keyed privacy lock (F76A) with an Augusta lever and a red/green window with padlock icon, coin turn for emergency access, through-bolted. Use it on restrooms and quiet rooms, and read the occupancy indicator locks guide for ADA and code points.

8800 mortise. The 8800 is the Accentra mortise lock. NLS carries the CR904 (outside) x CR905 (inside) lever handles on spindle for 8800 series locks, plus 8800 parts and accessories. Match the case and function. Lever replacements are the common order: confirm the 8800 case and the finish code before buying trim.

Nextouch keypad. The AU-NTB623-NR is a Grade 1 stand-alone cylindrical lock with the Nextouch capacitive touchscreen, Augusta lever and cylinder override, up to 500 PIN codes plus a master code, with a lifetime audit trail in the cloud software.

Which Accentra deadbolt or auxiliary lock do I need: 112, 197, D262 or D292?

The 112 and 197 are auxiliary locks with a 2-3/8" backset, zinc alloy body, 1-1/8" bolt, for doors 1-3/8" to 2-1/4" thick. Both ship with the 1109E 5-pin rim cylinder outside and a fixed 3-pin cylinder inside on the double cylinder versions.

• 112: surface-mounted auxiliary deadbolt. The single cylinder version (Accentra 112 heavy duty single cylinder, about $128 at NLS) has a thumbturn inside that throws the bolt with a 180 degree turn. The double cylinder 112 1/4 uses a key on both sides.
• 197: jimmy proof deadlock, supplied with a flat strike (197 1/4F) for outswinging doors, sprayed bronze.
• D262 / D292: bored-hole Grade 2 deadbolts with a 1" steel throw. The D292 is an indicator x thumbturn function (ANSI E01112) with emergency key override outside, an indicator on both sides, in 2-3/4" backset, for restrooms and quiet rooms.

Double cylinder locks on egress doors are a code problem in most occupancies. Read the commercial deadbolt buying guide before specifying one, and see the thumbturn guide for the inside-operation options.

Is the Accentra 3301 closer the right pick?

The Accentra (Yale) 3301 architectural door closer is tri-packed, which means the box includes screws, brackets and soffit plates for regular arm, top jamb and parallel arm installation. It is rack and pinion, non-handed, aluminum alloy housing, with separate sweep and latch speed valves and an adjustable backcheck that begins at roughly 75 degrees of opening. The fluid is temperature stable down to -40 degrees F. It lists at about $352 at NLS. Size and adjust it against the door width and exposure, not against the old closer.

What about Accentra cylinders, cores and key blanks?

Keep it short: the keyway decides compatibility.

The 1109 6 is a 6-pin rim cylinder for rim locks and exit device trims, with the 1145 tailpiece at 2-3/4". The 1152 6 118 is a 1-1/8" mortise cylinder with a 1161 straight cam, and the page notes it is the standard cylinder for obsolete cast iron mortise locks. The 1210 large format core fits Yale mortise locks, cylindrical locks and exit device trims, and cores are sold without control keys. Keyways listed include PARA, GA, GB, GC, GD and GE. The PARA keyway is the Accentra default on the 4600LN. For blanks by brand and keyway, use the commercial key blanks by brand guide.

Common mistakes

1. Ordering by finish instead of model. The 2100 comes in 630, 689, 691, 693 and 695. Confirm the model and size, then the finish.
2. Putting a wide stile device on a narrow stile door. The 2100 and 7100 need a 4-1/2" stile. Aluminum storefront with a 2" stile needs the 7200.
3. Skipping the cylinder on trim. The 626F ships less cylinder. Order the rim cylinder and the right keyway with it.
4. Mixing keyways. PARA, GA and the other listed keyways do not interchange. Match the existing key system before buying a cylinder or core.
5. Specifying MELR without power. The 7100MELR needs a regulated 24VDC supply sized at 1A per device.
6. Using a 2100 where fire exit hardware is required. Use the 2100F (GXHX listing) on rated doors.

FAQ

Is Accentra the same as Yale commercial? Accentra is the name NLS lists the Yale commercial line under, and the model numbers (2100, 7200, 4600LN, 112) match the Yale numbers on the existing hardware. Search by the model number on the device.

What do I search for Yale 311N panic bar parts? Open the parts and accessories category and search the part number, then confirm it against the exit device model before ordering. Do not guess from the old part's shape.

Which 4600LN function do I need for a storeroom? Function 05 (F86 storeroom) is the AU4605LN, with the outside lever always rigid and key access outside. For an entry door with turn button inside, use the 07 (F109 entry).
