Corbin Russwin CL3320TO Time Out Extra Heavy-Duty Cylindrical Lever Lock, Non-Keyed, Grade 1, 1-3/4" to 2" Doors
Commercial-Grade Time Out Cylindrical Lockset for Institutional and High-Security Applications
The Corbin Russwin CL3320TO is an extra heavy-duty, non-keyed cylindrical lever lock engineered for demanding commercial, industrial, and institutional environments. Designed as part of the CL3300 Series, this Grade 1 lockset delivers the Time Out function: latchbolt operates by lever from either side (passage mode) unless a push button is depressed and held by a caretaker, at which point the detention side lever becomes freewheeling. The lock automatically returns to passage mode upon release of the push button, and both levers remain free at all times. Compatible with door thicknesses of 1-3/4" to 2" and featuring a 2-3/4" backset, the CL3320TO is built on a steel and zinc dichromated substrate for corrosion resistance, and is fire rated for added code compliance.
