Automatically Locking Lever Handle Locks with Latchbolt Hold / Release Feature.

■  Uses  a  single-throw  automatic  lock.  Can  be  used  in combination with an electric strike.
■  The  outside  lever  handle  is  always  immobilized,  so when the door is closed it always locks automatically.
■  From  the  outside  the  lock  is  opened  by  retracting  the latchbolt with the key.
■  From  the  inside,  the  lever  handle  is  always  used  to retract the latchbolt and open the lock.     
(Function type 2A only)

■  When  the  latchbolt  is  retracted  by  using  a  key,  it remains  in  that  position.The  Latchbolt  Hold/  Release Feature  allows  the  latchbolt  to  return  to  its  normal position once the door is opened. This allows the door to be unlocked and opened using only one hand.
