| Basic Access Mode (Unlocked by PIN) | Valid PIN enables outside lever to retract latch. Door relocks automatically after opening/timeout. | Valid PIN enables outside lever to retract latch (and deadbolt if configured). | Valid PIN enables trim lever to retract exit device latch/bolt. |
|---|
| Free Egress (Life Safety) | Inside lever always retracts latch regardless of lock state. | Inside lever retracts latch and may retract deadbolt depending on mortise configuration. | Panic bar always retracts exit device for immediate egress. |
|---|
| Locked Mode (Default Secure) | Outside lever disengaged; latch cannot retract without valid PIN or key override. | Outside lever disengaged; latch secured. Deadbolt (if present) adds additional mechanical security. | Trim lever disengaged; exit device remains secure until PIN entered. |
|---|
| Passage / Unlock Mode | Lock can be programmed for scheduled or manual passage mode allowing free entry without PIN. | Same passage functionality; latch retractable by outside lever while enabled. | Passage mode allows trim lever to retract exit device continuously. |
|---|
| Privacy Function (Cylindrical Privacy Model) | Interior privacy thumb-turn disables exterior PIN access temporarily. Interior lever always allows exit. Privacy cancels when door opens or via management code. | Typically, not used in standard mortise models; privacy achieved via deadbolt instead. | Not typical; privacy is handled by exit device dogging or mechanical configuration. |
|---|
| Deadbolt Function | Not typical (cylindrical is latch-only). | Mortise versions may include manual or automatic deadbolt. Deadbolt projects via thumbturn/key and blocks outside lever operation. | Exit trim does not use a deadbolt; security provided by exit device latch/vertical rods. |
|---|
| Auto Deadbolt (Mortise Option) | N/A | Some mortise models include auto-deadbolt projection when door closes, increasing security without requiring manual thumbturn. | N/A |
|---|
| Mechanical Key Override | Optional key-in-lever allows mechanical override to retract latch. | Optional cylinder override retracts latch and/or deadbolt depending on configuration. | Optional cylinder override enables trim operation. |
