Hager 3553 26D Aug Sfic Grade 2 Entry Cylindrical Lock

Product Description

The HAGER 3553 26D AUG SFIC is a Grade 2 entry cylindrical lock configured with a Small Format Interchangeable Core (SFIC) prep and supplied less core, meaning the core is not included and must be sourced separately. The lock features an August lever with rose trim in a Satin Chrome (26D) finish. It is designed for entry function applications, allowing keyed access from the exterior while providing a turn or push-button locking mechanism on the interior. This hardware is typically installed by commercial door hardware technicians or licensed locksmiths on interior or light-duty commercial entry doors.

This cylindrical lock is suited for commercial and light institutional applications requiring Grade 2 performance. The SFIC prep allows facilities using small format interchangeable core keying systems to drop in a compatible core without additional machining, making it a practical choice for master-keyed or large-keyway-system installations. It fits standard cylindrical lock door prep and is appropriate for offices, storage rooms, and similar commercial entry points.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified locksmith or commercial door hardware technician familiar with cylindrical lock installation and SFIC keying systems. Ensure the door bore, cross-bore, and latch prep match the lock's requirements before installation. The core must be sourced and installed separately - do not operate the lock in a security application without a properly fitted SFIC core. Follow applicable local building codes and manufacturer guidelines for door prep dimensions and backset requirements.
