D-SERIESWIT H VANDLGARD™

Schlage D-Series keyed lever locks with Vandlgard provide vandal resistant technology. Designed for maximum accessibility, security and durability, Vandlgard sets the standard for door hardware in educational facilities and other applications subject to heavy traffic or abuse. The unique features of Vandlgard prevent damage to internal lock components caused by excessive force from persons kicking, hitting or standing on the lever to gain access. Vandlgard functions maintain total key system and architectural design compatibility with Schlage’s regular D-Series cylindrical locks.

Levers have virtually replaced knobs in the marketplace for handicap accessibility. The added grip and leverage has created an increased opportunity for abuse or vandalism. This abuse often renders locks inoperable. In some cases the security of the door is violated leaving computer and laboratory equipment susceptible to theft. While this type of abuse is commonly associated with junior and senior high schools, it also occurs in universities, office buildings, commercial buildings, and public buildings.
