Schlage Commercial ND53LTLR626 Entry Tubular Lockset

Product Description

The SCHLAGE COMMERCIAL ND53LTLR626 is an ND Series entry-function tubular lockset supplied without a cylinder, finished in satin chrome (626). It is designed for commercial and institutional door applications where a separately sourced cylinder will be field-installed. The lockset ships with a 13-247 latch and a 10-025 strike, giving installers everything needed for a complete mortise-latch installation aside from the cylinder itself. At 5.4 pounds, the assembly is built to commercial-grade durability standards. Licensed locksmiths, commercial door hardware contractors, and facilities maintenance technicians are the typical installers for this hardware.

This lockset is suited for commercial office buildings, institutional facilities, multi-family common areas, and similar applications requiring a heavy-duty entry function on standard tubular-latch door preparations. The less-cylinder configuration is common in projects where a master-keyed or specialty cylinder is specified separately by the building owner or architect. The included latch and strike are factory-matched to the ND Series chassis, simplifying hardware scheduling on new construction and renovation projects alike.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified commercial door hardware technician in accordance with applicable building codes and the manufacturer's installation instructions. Ensure the door is in a secure, open position and that any existing hardware is fully removed before beginning installation. The cylinder must be sourced and installed separately; confirm keyway compatibility with the facility's master-key system before ordering. Do not force lever trim onto the spindle, as this can damage the chassis and void any applicable warranty.
