The Amazing Medium Grade Lever!

If you have a business office and are looking to beef up the security on your office doors, you need look no further than the LSDA Grade 2 Leverset. Not only are these levers attractive, but they also come with LSDA's incredible 15 year warranty which covers materials and workmanship.  Available in brushed nickle, bright brass, or bronze, these levers will fit in any office decor. They come in the standard entry by key function for your office doors, storeroom function for electrical and janitor room doors, and classroom function that can be left unlocked by key or locked by. Finish off your restrooms with the privacy function and you are good to go!

The LSDA Medium Grade Lever is compatible for home or business and is offered with the 2-3/8 latch for the home and the 2-3/4 latch for commercial applications. These latches have a 1/2 inch throw and include an ANSI 4-7/8 inch  by 1-1/4 inch strike. These levers will fit door that are 1-3/8 to 1-7/8 inches thick utilizing a standard 2-1/8 diameter hole. These levers are non-handed.

If you are in a situation where children are hanging form the locks or employees get angry when the door is locked, consider ordering the lever with the clutch mechanism.  The clutch allows the locked outside lever to go through the opening motion without opening the door, thereby relieving pressure on the lever. The rigid model, however, is the one I use most.

One of the most attractive features of these levers is that they can be through-bolted as an option.  In the event you install this lock on an exit door, this option is desirable. If you choose not to through-bolt this lever, you can use small self-tapping screws on the inside plate.  This will keep the lock from slipping around during vandalism. However, for inside applications, no through-bolting or additional screws is necessary.

Locksmiths pay around $38 for these levers, but don't let the price fool you! I use this lock exclusively for small business, medium-duty applications and the results are great.  Expect to pay as much as $185 for an installation by Middle Tennessee locksmiths.

Overall, I would choose this Grade 2 lock over all other competitors, just for the warranty alone.
