About
- Allegion cylindrical, mortise and interconnected locksets to ANSI/BHMA grades 1, 2 and 3, principally Schlage, with Falcon covering the value tier, supplied with interchangeable cores and full master keying. Grade 1 is tested to a million cycles and is the only grade specified for institutional traffic.
Application
Specified on North American standard projects and by consultants working to US codes, hospitals, schools, airports and hotels across the Gulf. The keying schedule is the deliverable that matters most: master, grand master and construction keying have to be set before the cylinders are cut, because rekeying a completed building is a project of its own and is never in anyone's budget.
Standards & Reference 6 cited
ANSI/BHMA A156.2
Bored and preassembled locks and latches: the cylindrical lockset family.
ANSI/BHMA A156.13
Mortise locks and latches: the heavier lock family let into the door edge.
UL 10C
The positive pressure fire test for door assemblies. Positive pressure drives hot gas through any gap between door and frame, which makes it the more demanding test and the one North American codes now call for.
NFPA 80
Not a test but a compliance standard: how fire doors are installed, inspected and maintained, including the annual inspection and the requirement that every fire door self-closes and positively latches.
ADA 2010 Standards
The American accessible design requirements as they apply to an opening: clear width, maximum opening force, and hardware that works without tight grasping or twisting.
