Schlage Commercial ND53JRHO626 Nd Series Entry Lever

Product Description

The SCHLAGE COMMERCIAL ND53JRHO626 is a heavy-duty entry lever lock built for commercial and institutional door applications. Part of the ND Series, this unit features a Large Format Less Core (LFLC) configuration, meaning the cylinder core is ordered separately, giving facility managers flexibility to specify their preferred interchangeable core system. The Rhodes trim style gives the lever a clean, professional profile. The satin chrome finish (626) resists corrosion and blends well with standard commercial hardware. Included with the lockset are a 13-247 latch and a 10-025 strike plate, providing a complete door prep package out of the box.

The ND53JRHO626 is suited for commercial buildings, institutional facilities, schools, healthcare environments, and multi-family properties where controlled entry is required. The entry function (ND53) allows free egress from the interior while requiring a credential on the exterior, making it appropriate for office suites, storerooms with frequent staff access, and corridor entry doors. Installation is typically performed by a licensed locksmith or commercial door hardware technician during new construction or retrofit projects.
