Hager 2525 WTN Withnell Lever Exit Latchset — ANSI F89 Commercial Cylindrical Lockset
The Hager 2525 WTN is a commercial-grade cylindrical exit latchset from the Hager 2500 Series, designed for controlled-egress openings where free exit must always be guaranteed. Configured to ANSI F89 (Exit Latchset) function, the inside lever is always active for unrestricted egress while the exterior features blank trim — no outside operation — making this lockset the standard specification for stairwell exits, mechanical rooms, electrical closets, and other exit-only applications. The Withnell (WTN) lever provides a clean architectural profile suited to institutional and commercial environments.
What Is ANSI F89 — Exit Latchset?
The ANSI F89 Exit Latchset function means the inside lever always retracts the latchbolt for free egress — no key, no credential required. The exterior has blank or fixed trim with no operating capability. This function is specified wherever a door must comply with life-safety egress requirements while preventing re-entry from the secured side. Common applications include stairwells, loading docks, mechanical/electrical rooms, and one-way corridor exits.
Institutional Grade Features & Benefits
- Always-Active Free Egress: The inside Withnell lever retracts the latchbolt at all times, meeting IBC and NFPA life-safety egress requirements for exit-only openings.

- Deadlocking Latchbolt: Resists shimming and loid attacks, maintaining security from the exterior without active locking hardware.
