FEATURES

1. For versatile applications, lever by knob trim variations are available.
2. Rose locking pin and rose assembly design offers great torque resistance. It prevents the locking pin from twisting, bending, or breaking under attack.

In addition, the lever is fully functional from the inside. The hub-mounted torsion spring and strong retractor springs help prevent lever sag and offer a smooth and snappy operation.
4. Strong through-bolt mounting studs increase torque resistance. Heavy rose liner material is highly attack resistant.
5. Strong retractor springs provide resistance to lever sag.
6. Zinc hubs with a shrouded locking lug, guaranteeing higher quality and increased torque resistance.
7. The outside lever sleeve is a seamless one piece construction made of a hardened steel alloy that provides additional reinforcement in
   the locking lug slot.
8. Lost Motion feature available allowing 45º lever rotation in either direction without engaging retractor assembly.
