Specifications

Why Choose This

• Unrestricted access — “Always active” operation keeps doors open to free entry without keys or schedules.
• Gate & door friendly — Ships with a DAC lock box and fasteners for a clean, sturdy install on panic-bar gates or doors; for keyed entry alternatives, see our 6045-KIT.
• Durable, reversible lever — Detex 14BN trim in Black or Silver stands up to busy openings and flips LH/RH in the field.

Installation (Quick Steps)

• Position & tack the DAC lock box at the specified height; verify alignment with the interior exit device.
• Secure the lock box (weld/fasten per spec), mount the Detex 14BN lever trim, and install the included hardware.
• Set handing (LH/RH) and verify smooth operation: inside push-to-exit and outside free-entry lever action.
• Final checks — Cycle multiple times and confirm signage/closer settings; if you later need keyed entry, consider adding a kit with a lock box & cylinder like the 10045-KIT.

Buying Guide

• When to choose “always active” — Amenity gates, interior corridors, or areas that must remain open without keys.
• Need controlled, keyed entry? Choose a lock-box kit with cylinder (e.g., 6045-KIT) or a keyed trim like the Lever Handle Kit.
• Prefer a simple pull — Use a keyed pull such as Detex 03AN when a lever isn’t necessary.
