How do you lock the metal clamp on the 82-009A?

Question

I think your model # 82-009A will work in my situation, but I need to know if there is a lever in the handle that causes the silver metal clasp to lock in place on the receiving jamb.

Your photo does not show one, but it may be behind the handle, out of view.

Thanks for your help.

There is indeed a lever on the 82-009A handle set. It's obscured by the interior pull but is easily accessible in all applications. See the image below for reference.
