About this file

This is a product catalog for BEST 40H Series Heavy Duty Mortise Locks, a comprehensive technical document detailing security lock specifications and ordering options. The catalog serves as a reference guide for architects, specification writers, distributors, and end-users selecting mortise lock systems for commercial and institutional applications, including those subject to California Building Code compliance requirements such as the Hastings Branch Office Expansion Phase 2 project for the City of Pasadena Public Library.

The catalog presents detailed specifications for the 40H, 45H, 47H, 48H, and 49H mortise lock series, which feature solid stainless steel latches, anti-friction mechanisms, armored fronts, and multiple security grades to meet ANSI A156.13 standards and Underwriters Laboratories certifications. The 40H universal lock concept enables field configuration of over 12 common lock functions without opening the case, accommodating various applications from office and classroom use to hotel, dormitory, and storeroom functions. BEST offers three ordering methods: function-specific locks, universal locks with full conversion capabilities, and modular four-part ordering systems comprising case only, inside trim kit, outside trim kit, and strike package components. The locks are available in multiple finishes including brass, bronze, nickel, chromium, and stainless steel options, with specialty features including antimicrobial coatings, visual indicators, vandal trim, tactile levers for accessibility compliance, and lead-lined configurations. The catalog includes detailed ordering procedures, trim selection guides showing lever styles #3 through #17, knob designs, escutcheon and rose options, and comprehensive function charts specifying latch and deadbolt operation for each lock configuration. Service equipment, replacement parts, and retrofit kits are available, along with high-security cylinder options including the 1EJ7J4 UL437-compliant cylinder for Grade 1 security applications.

Universal Lock Design Concept Strength, Durability…and now Flexibility. Sure, a mortise lock is one of the strongest and longest lasting locks available. But who says it has to be the most complex to order and install? When designing the 40H mortise lock, BEST® decided to focus on things that would make the lock easier to use, while at the same time maintaining the strength, durability, and dependability you would expect in a BEST® mortise lock.

In addition to the ability to quickly change the lock handing, the universal case design of the 40H provides the ability to reconfigure a lock into many different functions easily and quickly, often by rearranging existing parts without disassembling the lock case. The efficiency of the design enables over 12 of the most commonly used lock functions to be included in just 3 case configurations.

The 40H provides the ability to postpone decisions on how the lock will be configured all the way up to the point of installation, making it one of the most flexible and user-friendly mortise locks available. This translates into value for anyone involved in the process, whether they’re an architect, specification writer, distributor, or end-user.

Flexibility in Ordering BEST offers three ways in which to order the 40H mortise lock. YOU get to choose which method meets your needs.

Function Specific Lock - If you know exactly what you need in a mortise lock, and are confident that your needs won’t change, then order your 40H locks in the traditional way by specifying the exact function, trim, finish, and handing. BEST® will build the locks to work exactly as specified, so they may or may not have the ability to be converted to another function in the future.

Universal Lock - If you want to keep your options open, this method of ordering the 40H is for you. BEST® has developed three “universal” functions that can be configured to a variety of common functions, all without opening the lock case. When any of the universal functions are ordered as a complete lock, all the necessary parts (including trim) are provided to configure any of the functions in that group. Universal locks can only be ordered with sectional trim. If escutcheon trim is needed, order a three-part lock.

Specifications

#4 Knob –Diameter – 2-1/8" ; Projection on door – 2-7/8" Material machined from solid brass or bronze.

Decorative and Special Order Lever Handles –Stainlesssteel base material with applied finish.

Standard Lever Handles – Brass, bronze, or stainless steel base material for standard lever designs. Lever styles #3, #14, and #15 return to a minimum of 1/2" of door surface. Lever styles #3 and #14 conform to California Titles 19 and 24. Lever styles 12, 16 and 17 do not return.

540H Series

Four-Part Lock – For the maximum flexibility in ordering a mortise FOUR-PART LOCK lock, BEST® provides a way to order your 40H lock in four parts: Inside Trim, Case Only, Outside Trim and Strike Packages. The kits that make up these four parts have been carefully designed so that when all three are combined you have everything found in a complete 40H lock. This order method is ideal for customers wanting to stock a variety of trim designs with a minimal number of lock cases.

Parts Ordering Made Easy – No more searching through service manuals or calling technical support for the right part numbers. BEST® has developed a variety of kits you can order when you only need part of a 40H mortise, rather than the whole lock.

Case Only – A Case Only lock includes all parts normally included with a complete lock that are not specifically associated with either the inside or outside trim, including: lock case, face plate, strike and strike box, fasteners (for case and strike), and installation instructions. Case Only mortise locks will be shipped in the standard mortise packaging, allowing trim kits to be included at a future date to make a complete lock.

Trim Kit – A 40H Trim Kit is simply one half of a complete trim package. An Outside Trim Kit must always be matched up with an Inside Trim Kit to operate with a lock. Each kit includes all the necessary parts (including fasteners) required for installation that are associated with just the one side of the door.

Lever Set – A lever set kit provides the inside lever assembly (with set screw) and outside lever assembly (with spindle attached). Thick Door and Tactile Lever options are available for this kit.

Faceplate Kit – Face Plate kit includes a finished faceplate and the appropriate screws. Security Head screws are an option for this kit.

Replacement Spindle – As a security feature, the outside spindle on the 40H is designed to twist off during abuse before any internal damage to the lock occurs. The Replacement Spindle kit is a quick, easy, and inexpensive way to replace any spindles damaged by attack or abuse. This kit includes the inside and outside spindles, plus the pin to attach the outside lever.

Screw Kit – Nothing’s more frustrating than spending time searching for the part number of a single screw. With the 40H Screw Kits, you don’t have to worry about that anymore. These kits have been designed to provide all the necessary fasteners for one lock in a single bag. All you need to know is the trim style and finish, and you’re set. Security head screws are an option for this kit.
