Exterior Door Levers

Exterior Door Levers for Entry and Exterior Openings

Exterior door levers are lever-style hardware used on front doors, side entrances, garage entry doors, service doors, and other exterior openings. Exterior describes where the hardware is used rather than defining one particular locking function, so exterior lever hardware appears in several functional configurations.

Keyed entry door levers are commonly used where the lever itself provides keyed access. Keyed lever hardware appears on residential entry doors as well as other controlled-access openings.

Some exterior doors use non-keyed lever hardware together with a separate lock. Passage door levers provide non-locking lever operation and can appear on exterior openings where locking is provided separately, such as by a deadbolt.

Exterior door lever designs vary across lever profiles, rosettes, escutcheons, keyed and non-keyed functions, handing configurations, latch formats, backsets, door-thickness relationships, grades, brands, styles, and finish families. Residential and commercial exterior openings may use different lever functions and hardware configurations depending on the product family and door application.

Deadbolts are a related exterior door hardware category used where a separate deadbolt provides the locking function. Handlesets are another exterior entry hardware format commonly associated with front-door applications.

Exterior door levers form part of the broader door levers assortment, which also includes lever hardware organized by function and other door applications.
