Functional Details

The storeroom (Function G) configuration keeps the outside lever fixed at all times, requiring a key to retract the latch and gain entry. The inside push bar always allows immediate, free egress, making it ideal for secured storage and controlled-access rooms.

• Outside trim is always locked.
• Key retracts latch only; latch returns to projected position when key is released.
• Inside device always allows free egress.

Arm Type Details

As a surface vertical rod device, latching is handled by a top rod and latch mechanism mounted to the surface of the door. The LBR version omits the bottom rod and latch, directing security to the top point while improving reliability at the floor level.

Included Components

This device ships with the surface vertical rod exit chassis, top rod and latch assembly, ETMB lever trim, and required mounting hardware for installation on compatible commercial doors.
