Schlage ALX70B Brw 626 Classroom Cylindrical Lock

Product Description

The SCHLAGE ALX70B BRW 626 is a Grade 2 classroom cylindrical lock designed for institutional and light commercial door hardware applications. It features a Broadway lever design and ships less core, accepting Small Format Interchangeable Core (SFIC) cylinders for integration into existing keying systems. Field selectable Vandlgard functionality allows the installer to configure the lock's anti-vandalism mode on site without special tooling. The satin chrome (626) finish provides a clean, durable appearance suited to high-traffic corridor and classroom doors. This lock is non-handed and installs on either hand door prep without modification.

This lock is intended for classroom security applications in K-12 schools, universities, and other institutional facilities. The classroom function keeps the outside lever locked at all times unless retracted by key, while the inside lever remains free for egress. The SFIC less-core configuration makes it compatible with facilities running large-scale master key programs, as the core is ordered and installed separately. Installation is handled by a licensed locksmith or qualified door hardware technician.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified door hardware technician familiar with ANSI cylindrical lock prep requirements. Ensure the door is properly bored to the manufacturer's specified backset and cross-bore dimensions before fitting the lock body. The SFIC core is installed after the lock body is mounted; follow the core manufacturer's instructions for proper insertion and retention. Verify classroom function operation and confirm free egress from the inside before returning the door to service.
