About the brand
Lawrence Hardware
Lawrence Hardware has manufactured commercial door hardware since 1876. Its hardware is certified or built to ANSI/BHMA standards. Trusted by contractors, builders, and architects across North America for nearly 150 years.
The LH5510 is a medium duty rim exit device, panic rated and certified ANSI Grade 2. Push the bar anywhere along its length and the door opens — no handle to find, no knob to turn, which is exactly what fire and life-safety codes require on an exit.
Why this one
Rated to 250,000 cycles and specified for medium duty commercial use. It has a dogging option, which holds the latch retracted so the door pushes open freely during business hours and re-latches when you undog it at closing.
Stainless steel throughout, and available fire rated for a door that has to hold a rating.
What to check before you order
