Corbin Russwin ML2069-KEYED Mortise Institution Privacy Lever Lockset Grade 1, ANSI F26, Field Reversible
Commercial-Grade Institutional Privacy Mortise Lock for High-Traffic Applications
The Corbin Russwin ML2069-KEYED is a Grade 1 mortise institution privacy lever lockset from the ML2000 Series, engineered for demanding commercial, institutional, industrial, and government environments. Designed to ANSI function F26, this lock allows latchbolt retraction by grip from either side, except when the outside is locked by the thumbturn inside — with the key outside retracting the latch at all times, even when the thumbturn is held in the locked position. Constructed of heavy-gauge steel with a 1" stainless steel deadbolt and a 3/4" latchbolt, the ML2069 is built for 1-3/4" (44mm) standard door thickness and features a field-reversible handing design. The ML2000 Series has been UL cycle tested above and beyond requirements, completing over 14.5 million cycles (Verification ID: V875753), making it an outstanding choice for offices, schools, hospitals, hotels, and other high-use facilities.
