Em-D-Kay Padlocks L45026IC-US26D door lock

Em-D-Kay L45026IC Storeroom Lever

The Em-D-Kay L45026IC is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical lockset with an angled lever design. It uses an interchangeable core cylinder that is sold separately. The satin chrome finish suits professional environments. The storeroom function keeps the outside lever locked at all times, requiring a key for entry while the inside lever always allows free egress.

Installation Requirements and Door Prep

This lockset fits doors ranging from 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick with a 2-3/4 inch backset. It requires a 2 inch clearance from the lever to the door surface for proper operation. The reversible handing works for both right-hand and left-hand door swings. The adjustable front accommodates flat or beveled door edges without additional parts.

Sustained Use and Mechanical Durability

Separate spring mechanisms for the inside and outside levers prevent arm sag and maintain a horizontal position over time. The 50 degree lever travel provides barrier-free access for ADA compliance. The heavy-gauge cold-rolled mechanism and corrosion-treated case resist wear in high-traffic commercial settings. The solid brass latchbolt with a 1/2 inch throw ensures reliable latching through repeated cycles.
