Black & Decker has just announced the launch of K2 commercial hardware. Current products include cylindrical and tubular lever locks, deadbolt locks, door closers and exit devices.
The unique K2 Suite concept offers a complete solution for customers. K2 commercial hardware locks, closers and exit devices can all be installed at a job site without concern about whether the finishes and designs will match. Each K2 Suite product is designed with compatibility in mind.
Cylindrical locks, tubular locks and deadbolts can all be furnished with standard popular keyways. Six-pin keyways for Kwikset, Weiser, Schlage, Sargent and Yale are available. K2 locks can also be ordered for use with small format (SFIC) interchangeable core cylinders. In addition, locksets can optionally be ordered to accept five-pin Kwikset or Weiser keyways. Consult Black & Decker concerning specific keyways.
