Schlage Commercial ND70LATH626 Classroom Lever Lock

Product Description

The SCHLAGE COMMERCIAL ND70LATH626 is a heavy-duty classroom-function lever lock from the ND Series, designed for commercial and institutional door hardware applications. It ships with the Athens lever trim, a 13-247 latch, and a 10-025 strike, finished in satin chrome (626). The less-cylinder configuration is intended for installations where the cylinder is specified separately or supplied by the end user. This lock is installed by licensed locksmiths, commercial door hardware specialists, and qualified facilities maintenance professionals working on commercial or institutional builds and renovations.

The ND70LATH626 is suited for classroom and similar security applications in commercial buildings, schools, universities, healthcare facilities, and institutional environments. The classroom function allows the lever to remain locked from the exterior while permitting free egress from the interior at all times, meeting typical classroom security requirements. The Athens lever style provides a contoured grip appropriate for high-traffic door applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified commercial door hardware installer familiar with ANSI-standard door prep requirements. Ensure the door is fully secured in an open position and all building access provisions are in place before removing or replacing existing hardware. Verify backset, door thickness, and door prep dimensions match the lock specifications prior to installation. Consult local building codes and ADA accessibility requirements for lever height and operational force compliance.
