Hager 3453 AUG Grade 1 Entry Lever Lockset (Thumb Turn)
Function Information:
The Hager 3453 AUG is an industrial-strength cylindrical lockset engineered for high-performance security and architectural appeal. As an Entrance/Entry Function (ANSI F109), this hardware is the premier choice for corporate offices, healthcare consultation rooms, and high-profile commercial entry points. Featuring the bold, linear August (AUG) lever design, this lock combines Grade 1 heavy-duty durability with the modern, minimalist aesthetic required for contemporary professional spaces.
Intuitive Security with Thumb Turn Locking
The Hager 3453 is designed to give users immediate, tactile control over their environment. The interior thumb turn allows for quick locking of the exterior lever, while the outside requires a key for entry. This configuration is favored in environments where a visual confirmation of the lock status is preferred over a push-button. Consistent with the Hager 3400 Series [link], the inside lever always allows for free egress, meeting the highest safety standards for rapid exit during emergencies.
Heavy-Duty Engineering for Institutional Longevity
Certified to ANSI/BHMA Grade 1, this lockset is built to survive over one million cycles, making it a staple for hospitals, universities, and government facilities. The August lever is fully ADA compliant, ensuring ease of use for all individuals regardless of physical ability. To maximize security and prevent hardware sagging, the 3453 AUG utilizes a rugged thru-bolt installation and concealed fasteners, protecting the internal chassis from tampering and high-frequency use.
