Featuring a key-retracts-latch function paired with the ET control and MD lever design, this trim allows authorized users to unlock the device and retract the latch simply by turning the key.

Its durable construction and clean lever styling make it a reliable choice for offices, schools, healthcare facilities, and other high-traffic openings.

Functional Details
With the 704 (key retracts latch) function, turning the key on the outside trim retracts the latch bolt, allowing entry while the device remains securely latched when the key is not operated. This function is ideal for openings that require controlled keyed access from the exterior.
- Key retracts latch
- Outside lever is always rigid; entrance by key only
Arm Type Details
The ET trim design incorporates the MD lever, a cast lever style engineered for durability and comfortable operation. The lever remains rigid and does not retract the latch; access is achieved exclusively through the cylinder.
