CE-R/CEC-R
The CE-R is a heavy-duty ANSI Grade 1 cylindrical lock engineered for busy commercial facilities and purpose-built for retrofit upgrades. It allows facilities to upgrade aging hardware without the cost and disruption of full-door replacements, giving schools, offices, and industrial spaces a smoother path to improved security. It features an enhanced internal spring mechanism that reduces lever sag and a low-projection rose that maintains a modern, polished look.

- An internal spring mechanism minimizes lever sag and extends overall product life, ensuring consistent, long-term performance with minimal maintenance.
