Schlage manufactures commercial locks and hardware. Their most popular locks in commercial buildings are their Grade 1, L-series mortise locks, the Grade 1, ND-series cylindrical locks, and the Grade 2, AL-series cylindrical locks. These come with many of the most common locking functions as well as several that are unique to Schlage. Beacon Commercial Door & Lock supplies and installs Schlage locks and hardware on commercial projects large and small.

Lever designs are important to not only the aesthetics but also the function of the locking hardware. Accessibility requirements restrict the design of the operating mechanism that can be used so that the levers that don’t require tight grasping, pinching, or twisting. Here are some of the most common lever designs available from Schlage.

Keep in mind that for the cylindrical locks, not all cylinder options are available for every lever design.
