Lever Features
Abrasive Lever Option
Besides complying with a wide variety of accessibility codes and ordinances, BEST lever handles are avail able with a special abra sive
feature. Abrasive strip on the lever im me di ate ly identifies warn ings on doors to hazardous ar eas for the blind.
To order: Designate “AL” on How to Order (page 3). Note: abrasive strip is available on all levers, except #14, #15, #16 levers
in 613 finish.
Lost Motion Feature
The Lost Motion feature allows the lever handle to move 45 degrees from parallel to the horizontal plane without engaging the latchbolt
assembly. When the lockset is in the locked mode, this feature makes over-torque or over-lever-age abuse more difficult
to achieve. To order: designate “LM” on How to Order (page 3).
Non IC Lever Option
The 9K heavy duty cylindrical lock may be adapted to existing keying systems by using a special retrofit lever and throw member that will
accept 6 pin single shear-line cylinders from non BEST manufacturers. No internal modifications are required to adapt the 9K to cylinders
®
from the following manufacturers: Corbin-Russwin, Medeco, Sargent, Schlage, Yale. Refer to BEST non-IC keying products brochure for
more details.
RQE Feature
The 9K lever handle cylindrical can be built to incorporate a request-to-exit (RQE) switch. A normally open switch provides momentary
switch closure when the inside lever is rotated. RQE option requires modification to chassis and is sold with assembly unit only.
To order: des ig nate “RQE” on How to Order (page 3).
Tactile Lever Option
Tactile levers may be used in areas where improved grip is required or as a warning in hazardous areas. Grooves are ma chined into the
back of the hand grasp portion of the lever to improve grip and/or to provide a sensory warning in haz ard ous areas. This option can be
used for Blind, Safety or Ac ces si bil i ty applications. To order: Designate “TL” on How to Order (page 3).
