ASSA ABLOY Accentra nexTouch Sectional Mortise Keypad Lock for Chicago Standalone Single-Door Access

ASSA ABLOY Accentra nexTouch Sectional Mortise Keypad Lock

The ASSA ABLOY Accentra nexTouch Sectional Mortise Keypad Lock is the mortise-prep member of ASSA ABLOY’s Accentra nexTouch family (formerly Yale nexTouch — Yale Commercial rebranded to ASSA ABLOY ACCENTRA in June 2023). It pairs the nexTouch keypad-and-credential reader with a sectional mortise chassis so the lock fits into standard ANSI A156.13 mortise-prep door cutouts that already exist in many commercial buildings — no door rework required.

The Sectional Mortise variant is the right pick when:

• The door already has mortise prep — replacing an existing mortise lockset
• The opening calls for a true mortise lockset (heavier-duty than cylindrical)
• A standalone, panel-free PIN keypad is the goal (cuts wiring and central-system complexity)
• Optional ASSA ABLOY ACCENTRA Digital cloud integration is desired on networked configurations

Where It Sits in the Accentra nexTouch Family

The nexTouch family covers the full range of door types with a consistent keypad / credential interface across each form factor:

• Sectional Mortise Keypad Lock (this page) — for mortise-prep openings
• Cylindrical Keypad Lock — Grade 1, NTB613, for cylindrical-prep doors (most common commercial form)
• Deadbolt — Grade 2, multifamily / senior living focus
• Interconnected Lock — Grade 2, deadbolt + passage lever for panic-proof egress
• Keypad Exit Trim — Grade 1 (A156.13 Series 1000), retrofits onto existing exit devices

Standalone vs. Networked Operation

In its standard configuration, the Sectional Mortise nexTouch operates standalone — PIN codes programmed locally, no network or panel required. For deployments that benefit from centralized credential management, ASSA ABLOY’s Accentra Digital cloud platform provides networked admin (relevant for multifamily and senior living portfolios that already standardize on Accentra Digital).

Vidimost specifies the right configuration (standalone vs. Accentra Digital networked) per project at site walkthrough.
