Overview

Meet the Nuk3y Azure Grade 2 commercial lever lockset, built for high-traffic doors where reliability meets accessibility. With a satin chrome finish and sturdy hardware, this leverset is designed to withstand daily use in busy environments while keeping doors easy to operate for everyone.

Durability and Compliance

This lever set is ANSI/BHMA A156.2 Grade 2 certified, suitable for either right- or left-handed doors. The combination of a heavy-duty lever, robust latch, and UL-rated components aims to deliver consistent performance through years of service.

• Heavy-duty construction suitable for commercial installations
• ADA-compliant design for accessible use
• UL-rated latch with up to 3 hours fire resistance; ASA strike

Backset, Thickness, and Door Compatibility

The design accommodates common door configurations with two backset options (2-3/8" and 2-3/4") and supports doors 1-3/8" to 2" thick. This flexibility helps simplify selection across multiple entrances.

• Includes 2-3/8" and 2-3/4" backsets
• Fits doors 1-3/8" to 2" thick

Security and Operation

The CLUTCH vandal-resistant lever provides freewheeling operation for added security on entry and storeroom modes. The exterior lever is keyed via a dedicated C keyway, while the interior lever remains freely operable for quick exits.

Keying and Dual-Function Modes

With a SC C keyway (outside keyed differently) and two keys per lock, you can manage access while maintaining control. A dual-entry push-button system supports two modes: standard lockout via push-button, or store mode with push-and-turn when outside access is needed with a key.

• Two keys per lock; six-pin cylinder
• Push-button lock and push-and-turn store mode for flexible access

Aesthetics and Installation Tips

The satin chrome US26D finish offers a neutral, professional look that resists fingerprints and wear. For installation, ensure the chosen backset and door thickness match your opening; if in doubt, reference the included backset options and hand orientation.

Real-Life Use

Ideal for offices, lobbies, and back-of-house doors that demand reliability, this Nuk3y Azure lockset combines tactile feedback with secure operation. In everyday use, the lever responds with a solid, reassuring click, and the exterior can be secured quickly when needed.
