Corbin Russwin ML2056-KEYED Classroom Holdback Mortise Lever Lockset with Field Reversible Latchbolt
Grade 1 Commercial Mortise Lock for High-Traffic Classroom and Institutional Applications
The Corbin Russwin ML2056-KEYED is a Grade 1 mortise lockset from the ML2000 Series, engineered for demanding classroom holdback applications in commercial, institutional, industrial, and government environments. Featuring ANSI function F06, this lock allows the latchbolt to operate freely by grip from either side unless the outside grip is locked or unlocked by key, and the latchbolt can be held in a retracted position by key or released by key. Designed for 1-3/4" (44mm) standard door thickness, the lockset ships with an ANSI straight lip strike measuring 4-7/8" (124mm) x 1-1/4" (32mm) x 1-1/8" (29mm) lip to center. Constructed of heavy-gauge steel with a 1" stainless steel deadbolt, the ML2056 delivers life safety and security in a single door prep.
