Tell Pro Grade 2 Exit Lever Lock - US26D Finish

Commercial-grade hardware for doors that don’t need to lock. The Tell LC2600 Series exit lever (passage function) gives you the same Grade 2 build, finish, and look as the locking levers in the series, so your hallways and interior doors match the rest of the building. Both levers are always free and there’s no key or button, so traffic moves through with a push of the lever.

It’s ANSI Grade 2, rated to 400,000 cycles, and finished in US26D satin chrome (BHMA 626). It installs in a standard 161 door prep with a non-handed lever.

FAQ

Does this lever lock?
