Schlage ALX70B Rho 612 Classroom Cylindrical Lock

Product Description

The SCHLAGE ALX70B RHO 612 is a Grade 2 cylindrical lockset designed for classroom door applications. It features a field-selectable Vandlgard function that allows technicians to configure the lock behavior on-site without returning to the shop. The Rhodes lever handle ships in a Satin Bronze (612) finish and is prepared for Small Format Interchangeable Core (SFIC) installation, supplied less core. The non-handed design fits both left-swing and right-swing doors, reducing the need to stock separate units for different openings. Licensed locksmiths, facility maintenance technicians, and commercial door hardware installers are the primary installers of this hardware.

This lock is suited for K-12 schools, universities, and other institutional facilities that require classroom security function. In a classroom configuration, the lever is always free from the inside for egress, while the outside lever is locked or unlocked by key. The SFIC-less-core preparation means the facility can install its own existing SFIC cylinder to integrate with a master key system already in place. The non-handed, field-selectable design simplifies procurement and installation across large multi-door projects.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified commercial door hardware technician familiar with ANSI cylindrical lock prep standards. Verify the door prep (bore diameter, cross-bore, and backset) matches the lock requirements before installation. Disengage all power to any access control or electric hardware on the door before beginning work. The SFIC core must be ordered separately and installed per the core manufacturer's instructions to complete the keying function.
