Schlage Commercial ND70BATH626 Bathroom Lever Lock Satin Chrome

Product Description

The SCHLAGE COMMERCIAL ND70BATH626 is a bathroom privacy lever lock in the ND Series, designed for commercial and institutional door hardware applications. Built as a small format less core (SFIC-ready) lockset, it accepts industry-standard small format interchangeable cores for flexible keying without disassembling the lock body. The Athens lever design provides a clean, professional appearance suited to office, healthcare, and institutional environments. Included with the unit are a 13-247 latch and 10-025 strike plate. The 626 finish denotes satin chrome, a corrosion-resistant coating common in high-traffic commercial settings. Installation is performed by licensed locksmiths or commercial door hardware technicians.

This lockset is intended for interior bathroom and privacy applications in commercial, institutional, or multi-family buildings. The bathroom function allows free egress from the inside at all times while providing a privacy lock from the exterior, meeting typical restroom door requirements. The small format less core configuration allows a facility manager or locksmith to rekey or swap cores without removing the lockset from the door, a significant operational advantage in large facilities or master-key systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified commercial door hardware technician familiar with ANSI/BHMA hardware standards. Power down any access control or electric strike circuits before servicing the door hardware. Verify door prep dimensions — backset, bore size, and edge bore — match the lockset requirements before installation. Do not force the core into the housing; follow the manufacturer core insertion procedure to avoid damaging the core or lock body.
