Keyed Entry Door Levers

Keyed Entry Door Levers for Controlled Access

Keyed entry door levers combine lever-style door hardware with a keyed locking function. The keyed function provides controlled access through the door and appears across both residential and commercial hardware. Common applications include front and side entry doors, garage entry doors, offices, utility rooms, storage areas, service doors, and other openings where access is controlled with a key.

Keyed entry refers to the function of the lock rather than whether the opening is classified as an interior or exterior door. Residential keyed levers are commonly found on exterior entry doors, while keyed lever hardware also appears on interior doors where access needs to be restricted. Commercial keyed lever families extend the same basic keyed-access function to offices, service areas, utility spaces, storage areas, and other commercial openings.

Keyed entry door lever designs vary by manufacturer and product family. The assortment includes different lever profiles, trim shapes, rosettes, escutcheons, cylinder formats, keyways, latch formats, backsets, door-thickness relationships, handing configurations, grades, styles, and finish families. Related hardware may include cylinders, keys, latches, strikes, rosettes, escutcheons, lever trim, mounting hardware, and other components associated with keyed lever locksets.

Keyed entry hardware is also available in keyed entry door knob formats. For entry openings that use a separate keyed lock above the lever, single cylinder deadbolts provide a related entry-door hardware category.
