LocksOnline Imperial Lever-Operated Oval Profile Escape Deadlock

With euro-profile cylinder operation, this escape lock features a lever on the underside of the lock designed to unlock the door in the event of an emergency, to be covered by a break glass panel so that only in the event of an emergency can the door be used (unless you have a key to operate the oval cylinder). 

The most distinctive advantage of these locks is that they do not allow just anybody to go and use the door whenever they like - which is a common problem for many who have chosen the typical 'free egress' type escape locks in the past, which offer a constant crash-to-exit operation where the inside handle works but the outside doesn't. 

The second advantage - and one that we know is very important in some unique scenarios - is that these escape locks can be used to allow operation from both sides of the door, by simply cutting out the area required to operate the lever right the way through the door, and fitting a break-glass unit on both sides; therefore allowing for occupants on both sides of the door to be able to break the glass and operate the lever to get through the door. This can be highly advantageous on partitioning doors which would serve no useful purpose day-to-day, but would allow an alternate route out of the building in the event of an emergency if one means of escape had been compromised. 

Sold with a 10 year manufacturers guarantee, these performance-rated locks are designed to last and withstand the test of time - as the Imperial brand itself has done over the years, manufacturing security products in the UK for all these years!

Six finishes are available for these locks - first we have the satin brass and satin stainless steel.  These are the basic finishes that are most common for these locks, but we can also get polished brass, polished stainless steel, satin black and antique bronze finishes made for you. 

Please note that these do not come with break glass frames, break glass or a mallet - these must be ordered separately from the list under "Don't forget to order".
