Corbin Russwin ML2052 Classroom Intruder Mortise Lockset Body Only Grade 1, Field Reversible, 1-3/4" Door
ANSI F32 Classroom Intruder Function Commercial-Grade Mortise Lock Body for High-Traffic Security Applications
The Corbin Russwin ML2052 is a Grade 1 mortise lockset body engineered for classroom intruder (ANSI function F32) applications in demanding commercial, institutional, and government environments. Constructed of heavy-gauge steel with a 1" stainless steel deadbolt and patented Quick Reversible latchbolt, this lockset body fits standard 1-3/4" (44mm) doors and is field reversible for flexible installation. The ML2052 delivers latchbolt operation by grip from either side unless the outside grip is locked by key from either side, with the inside grip always remaining free — providing critical life-safety egress at all times. The included ANSI straight lip strike measures 4-7/8" (124mm) x 1-1/4" (32mm) x 1-1/8" (29mm) lip to center, and the auxiliary latch deadlocks the latchbolt for added security.
