Classroom cylindrical locks

These are Anti-Ligature locks. This type of lock allows the latch bolt to be operated by the lever from either side, except when the outside lever is locked by a key from the outside. The inside lever always remains operable for egress, meaning that the door can always be opened from the inside without a key.

These are Anti-Ligature locks. This lock provides enhanced security by allowing the outside lever to be locked or unlocked by a key from both the inside and outside.

Storeroom Cylindrical Locks

These are Anti-Ligature Locks. Storeroom locks are designed to ensure that the outside lever is always locked. Entry requires a key, and the outside lever remains rigid at all times.
