Product Function and Purpose

The locking door handle provides an exterior gripping surface and an integrated cylinder-locking arrangement for the designated walk-in door.

When correctly installed, the assembly allows personnel to operate the door while providing the manufacturer's intended locking function. The handle mounts to the door rather than depending solely on the cabinet frame for its locking operation.

The inside safety-release mechanism provides an important means of operating the release from within the refrigerated enclosure.

This product is not a door hinge, magnetic gasket, automatic door closer, or ordinary non-locking pull handle.
