 UNIvERSAL LOCK DESIgN CONCEPT
UnIVERSAL LOCK

Strength, Durability…and now Flexibility.

Sure, a mortise lock is one of the strongest and
longest lasting locks available. But who says it
has to be the most complex to order and install?
When designing the 40H mortise lock, BEST®
decided to focus on things that would make the
lock easier to use, while at the same time
maintaining the strength, durability, and
dependability you would expect in a BEST®
mortise lock.
In addition to the ability to quickly change the lock handing, the universal case design of the 40H provides the ability to
reconfigure a lock into many different functions easily and quickly, often by rearranging existing parts without disassembling
the lock case. The efficiency of the design enables over 12 of the most commonly used lock functions to be included in just 3
case configurations.
The 40H provides the ability to postpone decisions on how the lock will be configured all the way up to the point of installa-
tion, making it one of the most flexible and user-friendly mortise locks available. This translates into value for anyone
involved in the process, whether they’re an architect, specification writer, distributor, or end-user.
FLExIBILITY In ORDERInG

FLExIbILITy IN ORDERINg
Stanley/BEST offers three ways in which to order the 40H mortise lock. YOU get to choose which method meets your needs.
Function Specific Lock
If you know exactly what you need in a mortise lock, and are confident that your needs won’t change, then order your 40H
locks in the traditional way by specifying the exact function, trim, finish, and handing. BEST® will build the locks to work
exactly as specified, so they may or may not have the ability to be converted to another function in the future.
Universal Lock
If you want to keep your options open, this
method of ordering the 40H is for you. BEST®
has developed three “universal” functions
that can be configured to a variety of common
functions, all without opening the lock case.
When any of the universal functions are
ordered as a complete lock, all the necessary
parts (including trim) are provided to configure
any of the functions in that group.

FOUR-PART LOCK

For the maximum flexibility in ordering a mortise lock,

BEST® provides a way to order your 40H lock in four parts:
Inside Trim, Case Only, Outside Trim and Strike Packages.
Outside The kits that make up these four parts have been carefully
Kit designed so that when all three are combined you have
Inside everything found in a complete 40H lock. This order method

designs with a minimal number of lock cases.

PARTS ORDERINg MADE EASy
No more searching through service manuals or calling
technical support for the right part numbers. BEST® has
developed a variety of kits you can order when you only
need part of a 40H mortise, rather than the whole lock.

Case Only
A Case Only lock includes all parts normally included with
a complete lock that are not specifically associated with
either the inside or outside trim, including: lock case, face
plate, strike and strike box, fasteners (for case and strike),
and installation instructions.

Case Only mortise locks will be shipped in the standard

mortise packaging, allowing trim kits to be included at a
future date to make a complete lock.

Trim Kit
A 40H Trim Kit is simply one half of a complete trim pack
age. An Outside Trim Kit must always be matched up with
an Inside Trim Kit to operate with a lock. Each kit includes
all the necessary parts (including fasteners) required for
installation that are associated with just the one side of
the door.

Lever Set
A lever set kit provides the inside lever assembly (with set STRIKE PACKAgES
screw) and outside lever assembly (with spindle Strike Packages
attached). Thick Door and Tactile Lever options are S1 – Standard strike:

for this kit.

Replacement Spindle S1 – Standard strike

As a security feature, the outside spindle on the 40H is
designed to twist off during abuse before any internal
damage to the lock occurs. The Replacement Spindle kit S5 – Latchbolt-only strike:
is a quick, easy, and inexpensive way to replace any 4 7/8" x 1 1/4" x 3/32", non-handed,
spindles damaged by attack or abuse. This kit includes curved lip, 1 1/4" lip to center
the inside and outside spindles, plus the pin to attach the strike. Fits standard door frame

Screw Kit
Nothing’s more frustrating than spending time searching
for the part number of a single screw. With the 40H S5 – Latchbolt-only strike
Screw Kits, you don’t have to worry about that anymore.
These kits have been designed to provide all the
necessary fasteners for one lock in a single bag. All you
need to know is the trim style and finish, and you’re set. S6 – Latchbolt/Deadbolt strike:
Security head screws are an option for this kit. 4 7/8" x 1 1/4" x 3/32", non-handed,

 SPECIAL FEATURES
SPECIAL FEATURES

Lead Lined Feature – The 40H mortise lock can be lead lined to protect against x-rays. Since the majority of lead lined
doors contain the lead in the surface of the door, the 40H provides lead lining for the holes cut in the door when preparing
the door for the trim. The two holes that are lead lined are the lever hole and the cylinder hole. (except in double cylinder
or non-keyed functions).
To order: designate “LL” on order procedure (page 6-7)
Security Head Screws – Security head screws.
To order: designate “SH” on 45H/47H in order procedure (page 6-7).

safety or accessibility environments. Depending on the style ordered, the knob or lever will receive either grooves or
knurling as the tactile feature.
To order: designate “TL” on 45H/47H knobs/levers in order procedure (page 6-7).
Visual Indicator Feature – This option adds a visual indicator for certain functions that visually reflects whether the lockset
is in the locked or unlocked. This option is available for the following functions: TD– Dormitory, IND– Intruder, INL– Intruder,
L– Privacy, LT– Privacy, S– Storeroom. Visual indicator feature is standard on the H– Hotel function (page 2).
Vandal Trim – VT–Vandal trim is available in standard finish for H, J, M, N, R, and S trims in either #14 or #15 levers.
Note: Not available in single or dummy trim functions. If compliance to California Building Code Title 19 & 24 is required, the
#14 lever design must be specified.
