Best 7KC37D16DS3626 7K Series Storeroom Lever Lockset

Product Description

The BEST 7KC37D16DS3626 is a commercial-grade storeroom lever lockset from the 7K Series, designed for high-security door hardware applications in institutional and commercial facilities. It features a 2-3/4 inch backset, a 7-pin interchangeable core cylinder, and a 16-style lever paired with a D-style rose. The lockset ships with an ANSI-compliant strike and is finished in Satin Chrome. It is supplied less core, meaning the interchangeable core must be ordered separately. Licensed locksmiths, facility security personnel, and commercial door hardware installers are the primary tradespeople who specify and install this hardware.

The 7KC37D16DS3626 is suited for storeroom function applications where the exterior lever is always locked and can only be operated by a key or credential. This makes it appropriate for storage rooms, server rooms, utility closets, and similar restricted-access areas in commercial, institutional, educational, and government facilities. The 7K Series supports BEST interchangeable core systems, allowing integration into existing masterkey programs without full hardware replacement.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified door hardware technician familiar with commercial cylindrical lockset procedures. Ensure the door is properly prepped to ANSI/BHMA standards for the specified backset before mounting. The interchangeable core must be installed separately using the correct control key — do not force the core into the cylinder housing. Verify door handing and latch function before completing installation.
