FAQ

Should I choose this or the clutch storeroom lock?
Choose this standard version for interior doors with normal use. Choose the clutch version for public-facing, back-of-house, or high-abuse doors. Its outside lever spins freely when forced, which prevents broken parts and forced entry.

Can the door be left unlocked?
No. A storeroom lock is always locked from outside. If you need the option to leave the door open, choose the classroom function (key-controlled) or the entry function (push-button).

Can I get out if I’m locked inside?
Yes. The inside lever always opens the door.

Can it be master keyed to our building system?
Yes. The Schlage C keyway rekeys and master keys to any existing Schlage C system.

Is it rated for fire doors?
Yes. It is UL/ULC listed for 3-hour fire-rated openings.
