Hager 3896E Privacy Mortise Latchset – Grade 1 Escutcheon with Occupancy Indicator

The Hager 3896E Privacy Mortise Latchset is a heavy-duty, commercial-grade locking solution specifically designed for high-use public areas where visual status is essential, such as single-user restrooms, lactation rooms, and private consulting offices. This Privacy Function (ANSI F22) set features an integrated occupancy indicator on the exterior escutcheon that clearly displays "In Use" (red) or "Vacant" (green). This visual signal reduces unnecessary contact and enhances the user experience in busy healthcare, educational, and corporate settings.
As a BHMA Certified Grade 1 device, the 3896E is built to the highest mechanical standards for long-term reliability. The Escutcheon (E) trim design provides a sleek, continuous vertical plate that offers a clean, professional appearance. The heavy-duty mortise lock body is constructed from case-hardened steel with a corrosion-resistant coating, ensuring smooth operation for millions of cycles.
Visual Privacy & High-Strength Security
The Hager 3896E combines the strength of a mortise lock with the accessibility of an ADA compliant lever handle and thumbturn. The indicator mechanism is precision-linked to the internal thumbturn, providing an accurate status update to those outside the door. For a permanent and stable mount, the escutcheon plates are secured using thru bolts, providing a high-strength, through-the-door connection that keeps the trim perfectly aligned even under heavy daily use.
