Features:

• Solid one-piece stainless steel anti-friction latch provides 50% more surface contact with strike for superior strength and security. Reversible latch rotates 180 degrees for easy handing change without opening case. Precision-engineered curve provides enhanced cycle life with reduced wear to the strike.
• Non-handed cylinder retainer.
• Armored front completely surrounds latch and deadbolt providing increased lateral strength. Staked assembly design allows the armored front to self align with the door bevel during installation.
• Enhanced case integrity achieved through four case cover screws (one at each corner), plus interlocking armored front and cover design at the latch.
• Roller bearing hub mechanism provides smooth, wear resistant operation.
• Locking toggle includes clear indication of “locked” and “unlocked” states.
• 40H case, cover, and armored front manufactured from 0.095” cold rolled steel for strength and durability.

• Four position hub toggle design determines whether each hub is always locked, always unlocked, or locked by key for easy handing change without opening case.
• Lever return spring mechanism located in trim for enhanced protection against lever droop, providing a firm, positive return of the lever to the horizontal position.
• Self-aligning trim mechanism for fast, easy, and accurate installation.
• Curved lip strike and strike box assembly provides an aesthetic, non-handed solution to complement field reversible case.
• Solid machined cylinder rings with wavy washer provides resistance to wrenching of cylinder. Cylinder security screw prevents removal of cylinder without first removing interchangeable core.
