Reamstown, Pa. (PRWEB) April 23, 2008 -- DORMA's new, Grade 2 J200 Interconnected Lock Sets for exterior doors and C400 Tubular Lock Sets for interior doors provide security, safety and convenience for single- and multi-family residences as well as light to medium duty commercial applications. Together, they offer a lock package that combines reliable performance and complementary aesthetics.

DORMA's J200 Interconnected Lock Sets, intended for exterior use, are built with a cylindrical chassis and tubular dead bolt for all applications where ANSI A156.12 Grade 2 products are required. The J200 meets A117.1 and ADA requirements for barrier-free accessibility. In addition, the J200 Lock Sets are three-hour fire rated and are U.L. and C.U.L. listed.

The J200 Lock Sets contain a free-spinning solid steel spin ring that provides superior protection of the upper cylinder against attack by wrenching and prying. The interior lever of the J200 retracts both the dead bolt and latch bolt in one motion allowing immediate exit from the building. The locks are available with two new residential lever designs which adds to DORMA's three traditional designs.

A variety of configurations are available including a simple pull, single cylinder entry, and entry double cylinder entry. Additionally eight strike combinations and four dead bolt combinations allow specifiers to choose a product unique to their application.
The J200 Series lock sets are available in DORMA's SKC keying system, which provides easy system management.

DORMA C400 Grade 2 Tubular Lock Sets are a perfect compliment to the J200 Lock Sets. These interior lock sets satisfy applications where ANSI Standard A156.2 Series 4000 Grade 2 products are required. In addition the C400 meets A117.1 and ADA requirements for barrier-free accessibility. DORMA C400 tubular lock sets are easy to install in both wood or hollow metal doors with ANSI Standard A115 preparations for bored-in locks. The versatile locks come in a variety of trims including five distinct lever designs. The non-handed tubular lock chassis are constructed of steel and pressure cast zinc components. The C400 Tubular Lock Sets are available in a number of configurations including a dummy set, a passage set, and a "privacy" option incorporating emergency release and an inside turn button.

Both the J200 and C400 Lock Sets are easy to install in both wood or hollow metal doors with ANSI Standard A156.115-2006 door preparations for interconnected locks and bored-in locks respectively. They are easily adjustable to accommodate door thicknesses from 1-3/8" to 1-7/8".
Available finishes for both lock sets include: Bright Brass (605), Oil Rubbed Bronze (613), Satin Nickel (619), and Satin Chrome (626).

The C400 and J200 Series lock sets are part of a comprehensive lock line from DORMA Architectural Hardware that includes dead bolts, mortise locks, bored-in locks, interconnected locks and the SKC keying management system.
