Corbin Russwin ML2003 Grade 1 Mortise Classroom Lockset

Corbin Russwin ML2003-KEYED ML2000 Series Grade 1 Mortise Classroom Lock with Field Reversible Latchbolt

Commercial-Grade Classroom Security with Patented Quick Reversible Latchbolt Technology

The Corbin Russwin ML2003-KEYED is a Grade 1 mortise classroom lockset from the ML2000 Series, engineered for high-traffic commercial, institutional, industrial, and government applications. Designed for 1-3/4" (44mm) standard door thickness, this classroom-function lock allows the outside grip to be locked or unlocked by key, while the inside grip remains always free for safe egress. The lockbody is constructed of heavy-gauge steel and features a patented Quick Reversible latchbolt and a 1" stainless steel deadbolt, with an auxiliary latch that automatically deadlocks the latchbolt for enhanced security. The standard ANSI straight lip strike measures 4-7/8" (124mm) x 1-1/4" (32mm) x 1-1/8" (29mm) lip to center, and handing is fully field reversible without disassembling the lock case.
