Master Lock SLC0226DKA4 Storeroom Lever Lockset

Product Description

The MASTER LOCK SLC0226DKA4 is a storeroom lever lockset designed for commercial and light industrial door hardware applications. It features a 6-pin Schlage C keyway cylinder with a keyed-alike configuration, allowing multiple locks to operate from a single key. The lockset is built from zinc die cast with a brushed chrome finish and is rated Grade 2 per ANSI/BHMA A156.2. A 2.75-inch backset accommodates standard door prep on commercial hollow-core and solid-core doors up to 1.75 inches thick. Licensed HVAC, electrical, and plumbing contractors frequently specify Grade 2 storeroom locksets for mechanical room access control in new construction and retrofit projects.

The SLC0226DKA4 suits storeroom and utility door applications in commercial buildings, light industrial facilities, and institutional settings. The storeroom function means the outside lever is always locked and can be accessed only with a key, while the inside lever remains free to turn at all times. This makes it appropriate for mechanical rooms, electrical closets, supply storage areas, and similar spaces requiring controlled access. It installs on standard cylindrical door prep and is compatible with doors up to 1.75 inches thick using a 2.75-inch backset.
