Stanley Security Solutions recalls 6K and 7KC series door locksets due to latches that may fail, preventing emergency escape. Consumers can get free latch replacements.
The latches can fail and the door cannot be unlocked from the inside, posing an entrapment hazard. This failure could lead to the inability to vacate a location in an emergency.
Stanley Security Solutions is recalling 6K and 7KC series door locksets because their latches can fail, trapping users inside during emergencies. This could prevent safe evacuation if locked from the inside.
The latches can fail, making it impossible to unlock the door from the inside. This creates an entrapment hazard during emergencies when users need to exit quickly.
Homeowners with 6K or 7KC series door locksets are most at risk if they have a door that locks from the inside. People who live in homes with emergency exits that require unlocking from the inside are particularly vulnerable.
Check for locksets with a brass or stainless steel finish that may have the word "BEST" embossed on the key core. These are part of the 6K and 7KC series medium duty locksets.
Contact Stanley Security Solutions to arrange a free replacement of the latches.
Consumers should contact Stanley Security Solutions to schedule an appointment to have the latches replaced free of charge.
