Dexter Commercial C1000STRMR626KDC Storeroom Cylindrical Lock

Product Description

The DEXTER COMMERCIAL C1000STRMR626KDC is a Grade 1 storeroom-function cylindrical lock designed for commercial door hardware applications. It features a clutching lever mechanism with a C keyway, a 2-3/4 inch backset, and a 1-1/8 inch face that accommodates standard commercial door prep. The unit ships with an ANSI-compliant strike plate and is finished in satin chrome (626). Grade 1 construction meets the highest ANSI/BHMA performance classification for cycle life, torque resistance, and finish durability, making it appropriate for high-traffic commercial and institutional environments.

This lock is suited for storeroom or closet functions where the outside lever is always locked and can only be opened by key, while the inside lever remains free-egress at all times. Typical install scenarios include storage rooms, utility closets, server rooms, and light institutional spaces. The clutching lever design protects the internal mechanism from torque-based forced-entry attempts. Licensed locksmiths and commercial door hardware installers are the primary trade for supply, fitting, and keying this product.
