It weighs 5.1 pounds and measures 9.5 inches in length, 8.1 inches in width, and 4.8 inches in height.

This lockset is suited for hospital privacy applications where a room must be locked from the inside for patient or occupant privacy, while still allowing emergency access from the corridor side using a standard emergency release tool. Typical installations include patient rooms, restrooms, and examination rooms in healthcare, institutional, and commercial buildings. The satin chrome finish provides a clean, professional appearance consistent with clinical and commercial interior standards.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified commercial door hardware technician familiar with ANSI and ADA hardware standards. Verify door prep dimensions and backset before installation, and confirm the existing door thickness is compatible with the ND Series chassis. Do not force lever trim onto the spindle if resistance is encountered, as this may indicate a misaligned chassis or incorrect backset. Follow all applicable local building codes for institutional hardware requirements.
