Hager 3553 ARC Grade 2 Entry Lever Lockset (Thumb Turn)
Function Information:
The Hager 3553 ARC is a heavy-duty, commercial-grade cylindrical lockset designed for primary entry points that require a higher level of manual control. As an Entrance Function (ANSI F109), the lock is operated by a lever from either side unless the outside lever is secured by the interior thumb turn or an exterior key. Featuring the elegant, sweeping Archer (ARC) lever design, this lockset provides a sophisticated architectural aesthetic while delivering the institutional strength of the Hager 3500 Series.
Tactile Security and Controlled Access
The Hager 3553 is the preferred choice for office suites and commercial entryways where users prefer a manual thumb turn over a push button. Engaging the interior thumb turn locks the exterior lever, requiring a key for entry. For maximum safety, the inside lever always allows for free egress, ensuring occupants can exit instantly. To protect against unauthorized entry, the deadlocking latchbolt features a specialized mechanism to resist "shimming" and forced retraction when the door is closed.
Industrial Build and Universal Accessibility
Certified to ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 standards, the Hager 3500 Series features a heavy-gauge steel chassis with a zinc dichromate finish for superior corrosion resistance. The Archer lever is fully ADA compliant, providing a comfortable ergonomic grip that is easily operated by all users. With no exposed mounting screws and a secure thru-bolt installation, the 3553 ARC offers a clean, professional profile that is highly resistant to tampering and vandalism.
