Marks USA 5SS19EW LifeSaver Anti-Ligature Storeroom Lever Mortise Lock — Institutional Grade, ADA Compliant
The Marks USA 5SS19EW LifeSaver is an institutional-grade anti-ligature storeroom lever mortise lock engineered for demanding environments including healthcare facilities, schools, and other institutional settings. Featuring a steel mortise case measuring 4 3/16" x 6 1/16" x 7/16" and a 2 3/4" backset, this lockset is designed for doors with a required thickness of 1 3/4" and is finished in Polish Stainless for lasting durability. The SS19 lever style with rose trim provides a ligature-resistant profile, while the storeroom function (ANSI F07) keeps the latch retracted by levers at all times with outside access via keyway. UL Listed for 3-hour fire rating and fully ADA compliant, this lock meets BHMA and CULUS standards for high-traffic commercial applications.
