Question

What is the 9K and when was it introduced?

Answer

Initially designed from the BEST 8K knob-set platform, the 9K paved the way for an Americans with disabilities Act – ADA compliant cylindrical lock portfolio.

Utilizing extensive customer feedback, the lock assembly was redesigned and subsequently launched as the 9K Varsity Series in 1994. Eventually we dropped the Varsity name from the 9K nomenclature. However, the new redesigned 9K Series incorporates the following industry leading features:

• Pre-assembled heavy duty chassis – Quick & easy installation
• Hardened steel thru-bolt studs – Maximum lever torque resistance
• Low profile rose design – ADA friendly lever operation
• Cast construction lock hub – solid lock foundation
