Dexter Commercial C2000CLRMR626KDC Classroom Cylindrical Lock

Product Description

The DEXTER COMMERCIAL C2000CLRMR626KDC is a Grade 2 classroom-function cylindrical lockset designed for commercial door hardware applications. It features a non-clutching lever mechanism, meaning the outside lever remains fixed when the lock is engaged, preventing unauthorized entry while allowing egress from the interior. The lock ships with a 2-3/4 inch backset and an ANSI-standard strike plate. The C keyway provides controlled key access suitable for institutional and light commercial environments. Finished in satin chrome (626), the unit weighs 3.6 pounds and is sold as a single unit.

This lockset is suited for classroom doors in schools, institutional facilities, and light commercial buildings where a dedicated classroom function is required. The classroom function locks the outside lever by key from the exterior while the interior lever remains free for egress at all times, aligning with life-safety code requirements common in occupied classroom and office environments. A licensed locksmith or commercial door hardware installer typically handles specification and installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified commercial door hardware technician. Before installation, confirm door thickness and backset measurement to ensure proper fit of the latch and trim components. De-energize any access control wiring at the door before servicing electric hardware nearby, and verify that door prep dimensions meet ANSI A156.2 cylindrical lock standards. Do not force the lever or strike into misaligned frames, as this can damage the latch mechanism.
