dormakaba BEST 45H Mortise Series is a high-security mortise lock engineered to deliver exceptional strength, security, and durability for demanding, high-traffic applications. Featuring precision-engineered internal components and a robust construction, the BEST 45H is designed for long-term performance and is backed by an industry-leading limited lifetime mechanical warranty. The lock complies with ANSI/BHMA A156.13 Grade 1, ANSI A117.1 (ADA Accessibility), UL, Florida Building Code (FBC), and Miami-Dade County Code requirements, making it suitable for educational facilities, healthcare buildings, government institutions, retail developments, and commercial buildings. Manufactured in Indianapolis, USA, the lock is primarily composed of 50% brass, 29% steel, 11% stainless steel, 5% electronics, 4% zinc, and 1% plastics. It weighs 3.8 kg and is independently tested to withstand more than 10 million operating cycles, significantly exceeding the ANSI Grade 1 requirement of 1 million cycles. The Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) is prepared in accordance with ISO 14025 and EN 15804+A2 and is independently verified by the Institut Bauen und Umwelt (IBU). The declaration follows a cradle-to-gate with options life cycle assessment covering A1–A3, A4, A5, B6, C1–C4, and Module D, evaluating environmental impacts from raw material extraction, manufacturing, transportation, installation, operational energy use, end-of-life processing, and recycling potential. The BEST 45H has a Global Warming Potential (GWP A1–A3) of 9.94 kg CO₂e per mortise lock, incorporates 2.61 kg of secondary (recycled) material, and is designed for 100% collection for recycling at the end of its service life. The EPD provides transparent, independently verified life-cycle environmental data to support LEED, BREEAM, and ESG reporting.
