Schlage Commercial ND70JATH626 Nd Series Classroom Lever

Product Description

The SCHLAGE COMMERCIAL ND70JATH626 is an ND Series classroom-function lever lockset designed for large format interchangeable core (LFIC) applications where the core is ordered and installed separately. Built to commercial and institutional-grade standards, this unit ships ready for core installation, giving facility managers and locksmiths flexibility to key the hardware to an existing master key system. The Athens lever trim adds a clean, professional look suited to office corridors, institutional hallways, and educational facilities. The satin chrome (626) finish provides corrosion resistance appropriate for high-traffic interior environments. Included hardware consists of a 13-247 latch and 10-025 strike plate.

The ND70JATH626 is intended for classroom security applications in commercial, institutional, and educational buildings. The classroom function allows the lever to remain locked from the outside by default while permitting free egress from the inside at all times, supporting life-safety code compliance. This lockset is specified on projects requiring large format less core (LFLC) hardware, where a single core can be removed and replaced without dismounting the lockset body. Licensed locksmiths, commercial door hardware installers, and facilities maintenance technicians are the typical installers for this product.

Compatibility

Designed for use with large format interchangeable cores (LFIC) in commercial and institutional door hardware installations. Core must be sourced separately. Consult the project hardware schedule or door hardware consultant to confirm core compatibility before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified commercial door hardware technician familiar with ANSI/BHMA standards for cylindrical locksets. Verify door prep dimensions (bore size, cross-bore, and backset) match the lockset requirements before installation. The large format core must be inserted using the appropriate control key — never force the core into the chassis. Confirm that the installed function meets applicable building and life-safety codes, including IBC egress requirements, before returning the door to service.
