- ANSI F76
The PDQ SD176 MEM is a commercial-grade Grade 2 Privacy Lockset designed for interior spaces where personal privacy is required, such as restrooms, changing rooms, and private offices. Featuring the modern Memphis (MEM) lever style, this lockset provides a sleek, "returned-to-door" aesthetic that is fully ADA Compliant and prevents clothing from snagging during use.
As a Privacy Function (ANSI F76) lock, the SD176 offers a simple push-button locking mechanism on the interior. For safety and liability management, the exterior lever includes an emergency release access point, allowing staff to unlock the door from the outside using a small tool or screwdriver in the event of an emergency.
Reliable Privacy with Auto-Release Safety
The PDQ SD176 is built to ensure a seamless user experience while maintaining strict safety standards:
- Push-Button Locking: The user simply presses the button on the inside lever to secure the door.
- Three-Way Unlocking: The lock automatically disengages by rotating the inside lever, closing the door, or using the exterior emergency release.
- Non-Keyed Security: Ideal for non-secure areas where privacy is needed but keyed access is not required, reducing the cost and complexity of key management.

Handing: The Memphis (MEM) lever is handed and must be ordered for a specific door hand. Please specify LH (left hand) or RH (right hand) when ordering Lever. For the Memphis lever, handing is about which way the lever curves relative to the hinge: LH = LHR and RH = RHR (the lever curves up toward the hinge, not down)
