Best 9K37T15DS3626 9K Series Dormitory Lever Lockset

Product Description

The BEST 9K37T15DS3626 is a 9K Series dormitory-function lever lockset designed for commercial and institutional door hardware applications. It features a 2-3/4 inch backset, a 7-pin interchangeable core cylinder, and a 15 lever trim paired with a D-style rose. The unit ships less core, making it compatible with BEST interchangeable core systems. Finished in satin chrome, it is built for high-traffic environments where durability and key control are critical. Licensed locksmiths, security hardware specialists, and commercial door hardware installers are the primary trades for this product.

The 9K37T15DS3626 is intended for dormitory-function applications, where the outside lever is always locked and can only be opened with a key, while the inside lever allows free egress at all times. This function is standard in student housing, assisted living facilities, and similar institutional settings. The included ANSI strike is compatible with standard commercial door preps. The less-core configuration allows facilities managers to specify and insert their existing BEST interchangeable core cylinder, supporting large-scale masterkey programs across a campus or building portfolio.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified commercial door hardware technician familiar with ANSI/BHMA standards for cylindrical locksets. Ensure the door is properly prepped to the specified backset and that the latch bore and strike are aligned before securing hardware. Because this unit ships less core, the appropriate BEST interchangeable core must be sourced and inserted before the lockset is placed into service. Verify function and free egress operation on the inside lever before closing out the job.
