Corbin Russwin CL3157-KEYED Grade 1 Storeroom/Closet Cylindrical Lever Lock with Vandal Resistance and T-Zone Construction
Commercial-Grade Keyed Cylindrical Lever Lock for High-Traffic Storeroom and Closet Applications
The Corbin Russwin CL3157-KEYED is a patented Grade 1 cylindrical lever lock engineered for storeroom and closet applications (ANSI function F86) in demanding commercial, industrial, and institutional environments. Featuring the proprietary T-Zone construction that interlocks the aligning and latch tubes to form a torque-resistant "T" in the critical twist area, this lock is tested to over 15 million cycles — exceeding ANSI/BHMA A156.2 Series 4000 Grade 1 standards by 15 times. Designed for door thicknesses of 1-3/4" to 2" with a 2-3/4" backset, the CL3157-KEYED delivers a deadlocking latchbolt operated by key in the outside lever or by rotating the inside lever, with the inside lever always free for safe egress. The lock body is constructed from steel with zinc dichromate treatment for corrosion resistance, and the non-handed design retrofits most standard 161 cylindrical lock door preparations.
