The Brunswick lever delivers what contractors need most: installation flexibility. Solid brass construction for durability and premium feel, paired with Universal handing (no left/right selection needed) and Adjustable 2-3/8 inches or 2-3/4 inches backset. These features eliminate the common jobsite headaches of ordering wrong-handed levers or dealing with mixed backset dimensions across a project.
Montana contractors dealing with temperature swings from -20°F to 90°F need hardware that won’t fail. Solid Brass (Lever and Rosette) handles thermal expansion better than zinc die-cast alternatives. The ANSI/BHMA Grade 3 Certified (Value and Security) rating suits residential applications where security matters but commercial-grade pricing doesn’t.
Installation Flexibility Drives Value
The adjustable latch system sets this lever apart. Latch is adjustable by twisting or sliding to match the 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset. No measuring backsets on every door. No ordering separate SKUs for different depths. One lever handles both standard residential backsets.
Universal handing allows for flexible installation on any door — another inventory simplifier. Stock one model instead of separate left-hand and right-hand versions. The lever works on door thickness 1-3/8 inches to 1-3/4 inches, covering 90% of residential doors without special orders.

The 4-1/4 inches lever length provides comfortable grip without excessive projection. At 2-5/8 inches from the door face, it clears standard door casings while maintaining ADA compliance. ADA Compliant (Handicap accessible lever design) certification matters for both commercial projects and residential accessibility upgrades.

Warranty Coverage
5-Year Limited Finish Warranty (Excludes ‘Living Finishes’ like US10B Oil Rubbed Bronze) covers the visible parts homeowners care about. Limited Lifetime Mechanical Warranty backs the internal mechanisms contractors rely on. The warranty specifically excludes living finishes — important to communicate when clients select oil-rubbed bronze expecting it to maintain factory appearance forever.
