BEST 45H7T Dormitory Mortise Lock, Escutcheon Trim

Built for living spaces, the BEST 45H7T is a 45H Series dormitory lock (ANSI F13) with both a latch and a deadbolt. A key from outside or a turn lever inside throws the bolt, and the inside lever always lets the occupant out.

Escutcheon trim puts a tall plate on each side of the door, a good fit when you are covering old prep holes. Options are the J stamped escutcheon, the M forged escutcheon or the N forged escutcheon, with 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.

Order a BEST SFIC core in a 7-pin housing for the outside cylinder. Cores can be swapped later without removing the lock.

What the function does

Projecting the deadbolt, by outside key or inside turn lever, locks the outside lever. While the deadbolt is retracted, the outside lever operates the latch. The key also retracts the latch. Turning the inside lever, which never locks, withdraws deadbolt and latch together. The key, the turn lever or the inside lever unlocks the outside lever.
