Accessibility and Security Upgrades
Round doorknobs are disappearing from commercial and residential spaces for a reason: they are difficult to use for people with arthritis, children, or anyone carrying groceries. Lever sets are the standard for modern accessibility (AODA compliance). Installix offers professional lever set installation, upgrading your locks to heavy-duty, commercial-grade levers that look great and function smoothly for everyone.
Why Upgrade to Levers?
Accessibility (AODA)
Ontario law requires barrier-free access in public spaces. Levers can be operated with a closed fist or elbow, making them compliant for users with limited hand dexterity.
Durability
Commercial Grade 1 or 2 levers are built to withstand high traffic and abuse. They feature internal clutches that prevent the handle from breaking if forced.
Security
We install levers with hardened steel inserts and heavy-duty latch bolts that resist kick-ins and prying attacks better than standard residential knobs.
The Solution: Cylindrical & Mortise Levers
We replace your old hardware with new levers from trusted brands like Schlage, Sargent, and LSDA. We can key them alike to your existing keys or set up a master key system for your building.
Why Choose Installix?
- Retrofit Expertise: We cover old holes using scar plates or remodel roses so the new lock looks neat.
- Functions: We install Entry (Keyed), Privacy (Bath), Passage (Hall), and Storeroom (Always Locked) functions correctly.
- Rekeying: We can re-pin the new cylinders on-site to match your current house or business key.
Technical Specifications
| Grade | Usage |
|---|---|
| Grade 1 | Heavy Commercial (Schools, Hospitals, Malls). Highest durability. |
| Grade 2 | Light Commercial / Heavy Residential (Offices, Condos). Good balance of cost/strength. |
| Clutch | Free-wheeling lever mechanism prevents handle breakage when locked. |
Our Process: Secure Installation
Step 1: Door Prep
We remove the old hardware. If upgrading from a small residential hole to a commercial lever, we bore the door to 2-1/8".
Step 2: Latch Installation
We install the latch bolt, ensuring the deadlatch plunger is properly aligned to prevent "loiding" (opening with a credit card).
Step 3: Trim Install
We mount the levers, tighten the through-bolts, and test the key action. We ensure the lever returns to horizontal level every time.
Pricing Factors
- Hardware Grade: Grade 1 locks cost 2-3x more than Grade 2 but last forever.
- Keying: High-security cylinders (Medeco, Primus) add cost over standard keyways.
- Finish: Satin Nickel and Chrome are standard. Matte Black or Oil Rubbed Bronze are premium finishes.
