Ultra Hardware 44254 Privacy Lever Lockset
This Grade 2 cylindrical lockset provides privacy function for bedrooms and bathrooms with an interior push-button. The satin chrome finish suits commercial and residential doors, while the angled lever meets ADA requirements for barrier-free access. Non-handed design fits standard 161 preparation on wood or metal doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick. Separate spring mechanisms prevent lever sag and ensure reliable horizontal return.
Upgrade from basic tubular latches
Replaces simple passage sets or lower-grade hardware where privacy locking and commercial durability are required. The jump is worth it when building codes demand Grade 2 security, UL 3-hour fire rating on single swing doors, or ANSI A156.2 Series 4000 compliance for handicap accessibility. Heavy-duty construction with reinforced studs resists twisting, making it suitable for high-traffic areas where residential-grade locks would fail prematurely.
Straightforward retrofit installation
Fits standard 161 door prep with 2-3/4 inch backset and 2-1/8 inch bore without modification. Concealed screw mount and one-step rosette simplify mounting on new construction or existing doors. Supplied ASA strike plate and 1-1/8 inch strike accommodate typical frame preparations. Non-handed assembly eliminates orientation errors. Common issues include misaligned strike plates causing latch binding and incorrect backset measurement on older doors.

Questions about this item
What door thickness range does the 44254 lockset fit?
The lockset fits wood or metal doors from 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" thick with the standard 161 preparation and 2-3/4" backset.
How is the 44254 lockset installed and what step is often missed?
It uses concealed screw mount with a one-step rosette for the standard 161 prep; the step often missed is securing the reinforced removable studs to prevent rosette twisting.
What maintenance will the 44254 lockset need over time?
The separate spring mechanisms for inside and outside levers prevent arm sag; if lever return degrades, the spring cartridges can be replaced without removing the lock body.
