Corbin Russwin CL3161 Entrance/Office Grade 1 Vandal Resistance Cylindrical Lever Lock

Corbin Russwin CL3161-KEYED Grade 1 Entrance/Office Cylindrical Lever Lock with Vandal Resistance and T-Zone Construction

Patented Grade 1 Cylindrical Lever Lock Engineered for High-Traffic Commercial Applications

The Corbin Russwin CL3161-KEYED is a patented Grade 1 cylindrical lever lock from the CL3100 Series, designed to deliver exceptional strength, durability, and quiet operation for demanding commercial environments. Featuring ANSI function F82A (Entrance/Office), this keyed lockset operates with a deadlocking latchbolt controlled by lever from either side, except when the push button locks the outside lever. Compatible with door thicknesses of 1-3/4" to 2" and a standard 2-3/4" backset, the CL3161-KEYED is built on a non-handed platform that retrofits most standard 161 cylindrical lock door preparations. The unique T-Zone construction interlocks the aligning and latch tubes to form a rugged torque-resistant “T” in the critical twist area, providing strength and durability far exceeding ANSI/BHMA A156.2 Series 4000 Grade 1 standards.
