D-Series Vandlgard levers comply with ADA requirements.
Schlage D-Series keyed lever locks with Vandlgard provide vandal resistant technology.
Designed for maximum accessibility, security and durability, Vandlgard sets the standard for
door hardware in educational facilities and other applications subject to heavy traffic or abuse.
The unique features of Vandlgard prevent damage to internal lock components caused by
excessive force from persons kicking, hitting or standing on the lever to gain access. Vandlgard
functions maintain total key system and architectural design compatibility with Schlage’s
regular D-Series cylindrical locks.
Levers have virtually replaced knobs in the marketplace for handicap accessibility. The added
grip and leverage has created an increased opportunity for abuse or vandalism. This abuse often
renders locks inoperable. In some cases the security of the door is violated leaving computer and
laboratory equipment susceptible to theft. While this type of abuse is commonly associated with
junior and senior high schools, it also occurs in universities, office buildings, commercial
buildings, and public buildings.
