Schlage Commercial ND70JRHO626 Nd Series Classroom Lever

Product Description

The SCHLAGE COMMERCIAL ND70JRHO626 is a heavy-duty classroom function lever lockset from the ND Series, designed for large format less core (LFLC) applications in commercial and institutional environments. It ships with the Rhodes lever trim, a 13-247 latch, and a 10-025 strike plate, giving installers a complete hardware assembly right out of the box. The satin chrome finish (626) provides a clean, durable appearance suited to high-traffic door openings. This lock is built for classroom security applications where the exterior lever must be locked or unlocked by key from the corridor side without a core installed at the time of initial installation.

The ND70JRHO626 is intended for commercial buildings, schools, universities, and institutional facilities that require classroom-function security on interior door openings. The large format less core configuration means the lockset ships without a cylinder core, allowing facilities using interchangeable core systems to field-install their own cores. Licensed locksmiths, commercial door hardware specialists, and facility maintenance technicians typically handle installation and core integration on these assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified commercial door hardware technician familiar with ND Series mortise and cylindrical hardware. Ensure the door is properly prepped to ANSI standard backset and cross-bore dimensions before mounting the chassis. Do not install a core until all door prep and lever chassis work is complete. Verify proper latch and strike alignment before final fastening to ensure smooth operation and correct latching under load.
