How the Era lock works with your choice of handles
Handle options
With Residor there are two handle options available the first being a standard lever handle.
With this option you’ll have a lever handle both internally and externally and both require a solid spindle to function.
*A spindle is a solid metal bar that connects the internal and external lever handle. Without this the lever handle will not operate.

In order to fully secure the door you’ll need to lift the handle up and turn the key to lock the door into place.
If you decide on this locking system you can come and go as you please and you don’t need to worry about getting locked out. To lock the door you’ll need to lift the handle and turn the key.
