Break-Away Protection Design
The break-away lever mechanism protects against vandalism by allowing the lever to disengage when forced past the locking point, causing it to drop down and appear broken. The internal disengaging clutch system prevents permanent damage to the trim mechanism while maintaining security functionality. Reset is accomplished by simply pulling the lever back to its original position, eliminating costly repairs and service calls.
