Schlage ALX70B Spa 626 Classroom Cylindrical Lock

Product Description

The SCHLAGE ALX70B SPA 626 is a Grade 2 cylindrical lockset designed for classroom applications. It features field-selectable Vandlgard functionality, which allows the locking mode to be adjusted without disassembling the hardware. The Sparta lever trim provides a clean, institutional profile suited to commercial door prep. The lock ships without a core, accepting a Small Format Interchangeable Core (SFIC) supplied separately. Finished in satin chrome (626), the unit is non-handed and fits standard commercial cylindrical door preparations. Licensed locksmiths, door hardware installers, and commercial contractors are the primary installers.

This lock is built for classroom and light institutional use in commercial buildings. The classroom function keeps the lever locked from the outside at all times unless retracted by key or interior thumbturn, supporting controlled access without requiring staff to re-lock after each entry. The non-handed design simplifies inventory and speeds installation on both left- and right-hand doors. The field-selectable Vandlgard feature allows the outside lever to be placed in a freewheeling mode, reducing torque damage from forced entry attempts.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation cylindrical lock for commercial doors prepped to standard cylindrical bore specifications accepting Grade 2 locksets with SFIC cylinder formats.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified door hardware technician familiar with commercial cylindrical lock prep dimensions. Verify the door bore, cross-bore, and edge-bore dimensions match the lockset requirements before installation. Because this unit ships less core, a compatible SFIC core must be sourced and installed separately before the lock is placed into service. Follow applicable building and fire code requirements governing hardware function in educational or institutional occupancies.
