Yale 5401LN 626 Passage Lever Door Lock

Yale 5401LN 626 Passage Lever

The Yale 5401LN 626 is a Grade 1 cylindrical passage lever lockset built for commercial doors that do not require locking. Its MicroShield antimicrobial dull-chrome finish resists bacterial growth on high-touch surfaces, and the heavy-gauge steel chassis meets ANSI/BHMA A156.2 Grade 1 durability standards. ADA-compliant lever operation suits accessible entrances in offices, schools and healthcare facilities. UL and cUL listings confirm fire-door suitability.

Replaces lower-grade or non-antimicrobial levers

Upgrading from a Grade 2 or unrated passage set is worthwhile when the door sees heavy daily traffic or when building codes demand Grade 1 cycle life and fire-rating compliance. The antimicrobial coating adds value in environments where infection control is a stated requirement. If the existing hardware already carries Grade 1 certification and an antimicrobial finish, the performance jump is minimal.

Check door prep and handing before ordering

Verify that the door is bored for a standard cylindrical lockset with a 2 1/4 x 4 7/8 ANSI strike cutout and that the backset matches the lock chassis. Confirm the door thickness falls within the manufacturer’s accepted range and that a right-angle lever orientation suits the swing direction. No cylinder or keying is involved, so existing key systems are unaffected.
