Why Would I Need an ADA Lever Lock?
To help against the threat of retail smash and grab burglaries, Quantum Security Gates has been supplying and installing unique retractable security gates to retailers in all industries throughout North America since 1997. As a leader in the industry, we re-designed our unique tubular steel retractable front door security gates in order to facilitate an ADA Lever handle. This is in accordance to follow the “Door Hardware” standards and guidelines which fall into the Standards Accessible Design act. Within this new gate system, we will be using the Adams Rite 4550 MS Dead Lock 3” lever handle.

Who is responsible for the approval?
It is up to the customer to work with their local fire marshal to decide if this lever lock meets their own local city standards. This conformity has been approved in many parts of the USA, however, each city and state have different laws pertaining to the approval process. Quantum can however, provide you with the specifications of our retractable security gate with lever lock door hardware information.
