Product Features & Advantages

ANSI Grade 1 Rating: The DDLK009 cylindrical lever lockset is engineered to meet ANSI Grade 1, the highest performance classification for cylindrical locksets. This rating verifies its ability to withstand heavy-duty usage in high-traffic environments such as office buildings, hospitals, schools, and multi-family residences. Tested for strength, cycle durability, and impact resistance, the lockset is designed to endure frequent daily operation without compromising security or mechanical stability. For contractors and facility managers, this ensures long-term reliability and reduced maintenance or replacement frequency.
UL Listed (3 Hours Fire Rating): UL listed with a 3-hour fire rating, this lockset maintains structural integrity during fire exposure, supporting life-safety requirements in critical buildings. It is suitable for fire-rated doors in hospitals, educational institutions, commercial offices, and public facilities where strict compliance with fire codes is mandatory. The fire rating ensures that the latch mechanism remains functional under extreme heat conditions, helping to compartmentalize fire and protect safe egress routes.
6-Pin Removable Core with Schlage "C" Keyway: Equipped with a 6-pin removable core compatible with the Schlage “C” keyway, the lockset simplifies rekeying and access control management. Facility managers can quickly change cores without removing the entire lock body, minimizing downtime and labor costs. This feature is particularly beneficial for multi-tenant properties, office buildings, or hospitality environments where access permissions frequently change.
Stainless Steel Bolt (1/2" Throw): The stainless steel latch bolt with a 1/2" throw provides strong resistance against forced entry while maintaining corrosion resistance in humid or exterior-adjacent conditions. Stainless steel construction ensures consistent performance even in high-moisture environments, reducing the risk of rust-related malfunction. The precise bolt projection enhances secure engagement with the strike plate for dependable daily operation.
Passage Function: The passage function allows free lever operation from both sides without requiring a key, making it ideal for high-access interior doors such as corridors, lobbies, meeting rooms, and shared spaces. This function supports convenience and operational efficiency while maintaining the robust mechanical strength expected from an ANSI Grade 1 device.

Installation Steps

Prepare Door & Tools: Confirm the door preparation matches specifications: 2-1/8" cross bore, 1" edge bore, and door thickness between 1-3/8" and 2". Gather required tools such as a drill, screwdriver, and measuring tape. Proper preparation ensures smooth installation and accurate alignment.
Install Latch Assembly: Insert the latch assembly into the edge bore, aligning the face plate flush with the door edge. Secure it firmly with screws, ensuring the latch bolt extends and retracts smoothly without friction or obstruction.
Position Lockset Body: Insert the cylindrical lock body into the cross bore, aligning it precisely with the latch assembly. Adjust the lever orientation according to the door swing direction to guarantee ergonomic operation and correct functionality.
Secure Lockset & Strike: Tighten mounting screws evenly to secure the lockset to the door. Install the ASA strike plate on the door jamb, carefully aligning it with the latch bolt to ensure full engagement and proper door closure.
Install Cylinder (if applicable): Insert the 6-pin removable core into the lock body, confirming compatibility with the Schlage “C” keyway. Test key insertion and rotation to verify smooth locking and unlocking performance.
Test Operation: Operate the lever and key multiple times to confirm proper engagement, smooth passage function, and accurate strike alignment. If integrated with door closers or panic devices, verify synchronized performance.
