Entry Door Levers and Knobs
Tell Manufacturing offers entry lever and deadbolt sets and entry door knob and deadbolt sets. Both are suitable for entry, storeroom, privacy, and passage applications and are ideal for new construction or replacement. Match the finish to your other door hardware for a consistent look.

Hydraulic Door Closers
The hydraulic door closers are a residential design for light interior use, with adjustable closing and latching speeds. They are ideal for small offices, condominiums, apartments, and single-family residences. Each closer is non-handed and can be mounted in regular or parallel arm installations.

Keyed Deadbolts
The indicator deadbolt signals when a room is occupied, which makes it a good choice for restrooms and other areas that need privacy. An emergency key can override the door from the outside. It is a grade 2 deadbolt in satin chrome stainless steel.
