BEST 45H7D Storeroom Mortise Lock, Escutcheon Trim

A storeroom lock is about consistency: the door is locked whenever it is latched. The BEST 45H7D brings that function, ANSI F07, to the 45H Series heavy duty mortise lock, for supply rooms, IT closets and service spaces.

This listing is the escutcheon version, which uses a full plate that covers more of the door face than a rose. Choose the J stamped escutcheon, the M forged escutcheon or the N forged escutcheon, and pick from lever styles 3 (solid tube with return), 12 (solid tube, no return), 14 (curved with return), 15 (contour angle with return) and 16 (curved, no return), plus the 4 round knob.

Plan on a BEST SFIC core in a 7-pin housing for the outside cylinder; it is ordered separately.

What the function does

Entry is by key only: turning the key in the outside cylinder retracts the latch, because the outside lever is permanently locked. Rotating the inside lever, which is never locked, also retracts it. The latchbolt is deadlocked with an auxiliary deadlatch.

• Always locked outside, always free inside
• Auxiliary deadlatch deadlocks the latchbolt
