Corbin Russwin CL33903 Grade 1 Fail Safe Electrified Cylindrical Lever Lock, 24VAC/DC with Mechanical Cylinder Override
Remote Locking and Unlocking for High-Security Commercial Applications
The Corbin Russwin CL33903 is a Grade 1 Fail Safe Electrified Cylindrical Lever Lock engineered for demanding commercial environments where remote access control and life safety compliance are essential. Designed for doors ranging from 1-3/4" to 2" in thickness with a 2-3/4" backset, this leverset operates on 24VAC/DC (hard wired, 150mA) and features a self-contained integral solenoid that allows installation in a modified cylindrical door prep. When power is on, the outside lever is locked; when power is off, the outside lever unlocks, providing true fail safe operation. The inside lever remains always free, ensuring unobstructed egress at all times.
