National Wheel-O-Vator V1097 One-Sided Door Lever Lockset – VPL

This one-sided door lever lockset is designed for vertical platform lift (VPL) landing doors requiring controlled access and compatibility with existing door interlock systems.
Commonly found on National Wheel-O-Vator (NWOV) platform lifts, this commercial-grade cylindrical lever lockset replaces legacy part numbers V1097 and V-1097.

Its single-sided operating configuration makes it suitable for select accessibility lift landing doors where conventional double-sided lever hardware is inappropriate.

Designed for Platform Lift Landing Doors

Unlike conventional residential door handles, this one-sided lever lockset is intended for specialized door configurations found on accessibility lifts.

The lockset provides keyed operation from the designated access side while restricting operation from the opposite side. It is intended for applications where the landing door hardware must function with the lift's existing mechanical or electrical interlock arrangement.

Replacement for National Wheel-O-Vator V1097

National Wheel-O-Vator manufactured numerous vertical platform lifts that remain in service today. As original components become difficult to source, identifying compatible replacement hardware becomes increasingly important.

This lockset is offered as a replacement for the legacy NWOV V1097 door handle assembly.

Before ordering, confirm the existing lock configuration, door thickness, backset, latch dimensions, and compatibility with the installed interlock system.

Additional Lift Applications

Although commonly associated with National Wheel-O-Vator equipment, this style of one-sided commercial lever lockset may be suitable for other vertical platform lifts and accessibility equipment using equivalent door hardware.

Compatibility should be established through the original lockset specifications and installation requirements rather than lift manufacturer alone.

Installation & Safety

Door hardware is an important component of a lift's overall safety system.

Installation and verification should be performed by qualified personnel familiar with vertical platform lift landing doors, applicable accessibility requirements, and door interlock operation.
