Hager 3553 WTN Grade 2 Entry Lever Lockset (Thumb Turn)
Function Information:
The Hager 3553 WTN is a professional-grade cylindrical lockset designed for primary entry points in commercial and institutional settings. As an Entrance Function (ANSI F109), this lock provides maximum flexibility: the exterior lever can be locked or unlocked via the interior thumb turn or an exterior key. Featuring the neutral, ergonomic Withnell (WTN) lever design, it offers a versatile architectural look that integrates seamlessly into any facility while delivering the industrial strength of the Hager 3500 Series.
Tactile Security and Controlled Access
The Hager 3553 is the ideal solution for users who prefer the tactile feedback of a manual thumb turn over a push-button mechanism. Engaging the thumb turn secures the exterior lever, requiring a key for entry. For critical occupant safety, the inside lever always allows for free egress. To further protect the opening, the deadlocking latchbolt is engineered to resist "shimming" and unauthorized retraction, ensuring the door remains secure against common forced-entry techniques.
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 Withnell lever is fully ADA compliant, providing a comfortable grip that is easily operated without tight grasping or twisting. With no exposed mounting screws and a secure thru-bolt installation, the 3553 WTN offers a clean professional profile that is highly resistant to tampering and vandalism.
