Best 45HCAUNR626 Universal Classroom Lock Body Satin Chrome

Product Description

The BEST 45HCAUNR626 is a universal classroom lock body finished in satin chrome, designed for commercial and institutional door hardware applications. This lock body is sold without a core, making it compatible with interchangeable core (IC) cylinder systems commonly specified in schools, universities, and government facilities. The satin chrome finish provides a clean, professional appearance suited to high-traffic interior door environments. Licensed locksmiths, institutional facilities technicians, and commercial hardware contractors are the primary installers of this hardware.

This lock body is suited for classroom-function applications in institutional settings such as K-12 schools, colleges, and public buildings. The classroom function allows the exterior lever to be locked or unlocked by key from the outside while the interior lever remains free-egress at all times, supporting life-safety requirements. It is intended for installation in commercial door preparation with standard backset and face dimensions appropriate to the product series.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified facilities hardware technician familiar with commercial door preparation standards. Power to any associated access control hardware should be disconnected before servicing. Verify door preparation dimensions, backset, and handing before installation. Do not force the lock body into an incompatible door prep, as this may damage the chassis or door.
