Plain-English summary

Stanley Security Solutions Inc. is recalling approximately 63,100 6K and 7KC series medium duty door locksets. The recalled products feature a brass or stainless steel finish and may have the word "BEST" embossed on the key core. These locksets were sold nationwide to end users through the company's branches or independent dealers from April 2010 through January 2011 for between about $80 and $260.

The recall is due to a hazard where the latches can fail, making it impossible to unlock the door from the inside.

Stanley Security Solutions has received five reports of latch failure, including one report of entrapment. No injuries have been reported.

Consumers should contact Stanley Security Solutions to schedule an appointment to have the latches replaced free of charge.
