Question
What unique features are available on the 40H that make it less susceptible to break-ins?
Answer
The 40H is equipped with a breakaway outside spindle that is designed to twist off during abuse before any internal damage to the lock occurs. The lock owner then only needs to replace the inexpensive spindle instead of the entire lock. A high-security option is available on the 40H that features a drill-resistant, stainless steel cylinder ring, and cylinder face. This high-security option is also pick-resistant.
A vandal trim option is also available to order on the 40H that encompasses a resettable clutch in the lever handle. If excessive torque is applied to the lever, the lever disengages from the spindle allowing the lever to move without affecting the internal mechanisms of the lock. The lock owner can then simply move the lever upward to its original horizontal position in order to re-engage the lever with the spindle to have a functioning lock again.
