The handle has been tested for endurance up to 200,000 cycles, which allows for the assurance of the quality of the finish as well as the performance of the handle over time. The lever that springs is adjustable to accommodate a wide range of locks. This is especially useful for narrower door frames where the cylinder is further back.

This measurement is also called 'handle centres' or cylinder centres'. It is important to match the right handles. After you have determined the correct PZ size it is important to ensure that the lever and push pads are designed to match the American with Disabilities Act compliant handles you require for your door.
