Kason 0481A Safety Glow Inside Release Handle, 10481A00600

Description

Product Overview

The Kason 0481A Safety Glow Inside Release Handle is engineered for demanding commercial environments where reliability, durability, and visibility are paramount. Constructed from high‑grade stainless steel, the handle resists corrosion, scratches, and the wear of heavy daily use. Its push‑pull design eliminates the need for a traditional turn knob, streamlining entry and exit while reducing wear points. The integrated glow‑in‑the‑dark feature is powered by phosphorescent material that absorbs ambient light and emits a steady, low‑intensity glow for up to eight hours, ensuring safe egress in low‑light or emergency situations. The handle measures 9 inches in projection, 3 inches in width, and fits doors with a minimum thickness of 2½ inches, making it compatible with Kason 0056 and 5656 stainless steel latches. The latch mechanism operates smoothly with a simple push or pull action, delivering a secure lock‑button engagement that meets commercial safety standards.

Usage

This inside release handle is ideal for a wide range of commercial applications, including office buildings, retail storefronts, hospitals, schools, and industrial facilities. It excels in high‑traffic entryways, service doors, and walk‑in closets where quick, hands‑free operation is essential. The glow‑in‑the‑dark feature is especially valuable in stairwells, basements, and utility rooms that may lack consistent lighting. Installers will appreciate the straightforward mounting process: the handle attaches directly to the existing latch plate using the provided screws, requiring no additional tools or modifications. Because the handle is designed for doors with a minimum thickness of 2½ inches, it fits most standard commercial door panels, providing a seamless upgrade to existing hardware without the need for door replacement. Its sleek silver finish complements modern architectural aesthetics while maintaining a professional appearance.
