Dexter Commercial C2000CLCLRMR626KDC Classroom Cylindrical Lock

Product Description

The DEXTER COMMERCIAL C2000CLCLRMR626KDC is a Grade 2 classroom-function cylindrical lockset designed for commercial door hardware applications. It features a clutching lever mechanism with a regular lever trim, a 2-3/4 inches backset, and an ANSI standard strike plate. The lock ships in a satin chrome finish (626). Clutching lever technology protects the internal chassis from torque damage during forced entry attempts, making it a practical choice for institutional and light commercial classroom environments. Licensed locksmiths, commercial door hardware installers, and facility maintenance contractors are the primary installers of this product.

This lockset is suited for classroom door applications in schools, institutional buildings, and light commercial facilities where Grade 2 performance is acceptable. The classroom function allows the door to be locked from the exterior with a key while remaining free-egress from the interior at all times, which aligns with typical life-safety requirements for occupied classroom spaces. The 2-3/4 inches backset accommodates standard commercial door prep, and the included ANSI strike simplifies installation on pre-bored doors.
