The KEYMAN Storeroom Door Lock is engineered for commercial and industrial settings where security and durability are paramount. Its storeroom function ensures the door remains locked from the outside at all times, requiring a key for entry, while the inside lever allows immediate, key-free egress for safety. This is ideal for storage rooms, electrical closets, and supply areas where access control is essential .
Constructed to meet ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 standards, this lock is built for heavy-duty use, capable of withstanding high traffic and frequent operation. The non-handed (or non-handing) design simplifies installation and inventory, as the same lock can be fitted on both left-handed and right-handed doors without any modification .
A critical feature is its UL 3-hour fire rating, certifying that the lock assembly can maintain its integrity and function for up to three hours under fire conditions, helping to compartmentalize fire and smoke in compliance with building safety codes . Made from robust materials like steel and zinc alloy, it offers long-term reliability .
