Best 45H7R14H626RH Mortise Lock Classroom 14 Lever

Product Description

The BEST 45H7R14H626RH is a mortise lock configured for classroom applications, featuring a 14-style lever with an H rose, right-hand orientation, and a 7-pin housing sold less core. Finished in satin chrome (626), this lock is built for commercial and institutional door hardware installations where a separate interchangeable core will be field-supplied. Licensed locksmiths, commercial door hardware installers, and facility maintenance professionals typically handle this type of installation. The unit weighs 6.7 pounds and measures 13.4 inches in length, 13.1 inches in width, and 2.9 inches in height.

This mortise lock is suited for commercial and institutional environments such as schools, universities, healthcare facilities, and government buildings where classroom-function locksets are required. The classroom function allows the exterior lever to be locked or unlocked by key from outside while the interior lever remains free-egress at all times. Right-hand orientation must be confirmed at the door before ordering. The less-core configuration means the appropriate interchangeable core must be ordered and installed separately to complete the lockset.

• Right-hand door orientation pre-configured at the factory

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified commercial door hardware technician familiar with mortise lock prep dimensions and interchangeable core systems. Verify door handing and backset before mounting. The interchangeable core must be installed separately using the appropriate control key. Follow all applicable building and fire codes governing egress hardware, including IBC and NFPA 80 requirements for classroom and institutional applications.
