M Series Mortise Lock
ANSI Grade 1 Extra Heavy Duty
Clutch Operation
An optional clutch operation function is available for the outside trim. When locked, the door handle will disengage from the mortise lock’s mechanism and turn freely, preventing damage of the lock if an excessive force is applied on the handle and protecting your lock from forced-entry attempts.
Enhance your door lock security with this feature and feel at ease knowing that your door is even more secure than before.
