Schlage Commercial ND70LSPA626 Classroom Lever Lock

Product Description

The SCHLAGE COMMERCIAL ND70LSPA626 is an ND Series classroom-function lever lock with a Sparta lever design and a satin chrome finish. It ships less cylinder, meaning the lock body and trim are included but the key cylinder must be supplied and installed separately — a common configuration for facilities that standardize on a master-key or interchangeable-core system. The 70 function holds the outside lever locked at all times and is released only by a key, making it the standard specification for classroom doors in K-12 and higher-education environments. Included hardware is a 13-247 latch and a 10-025 strike. A licensed locksmith or commercial door hardware installer typically performs the final fit and core installation.

This lever lock is designed for commercial and institutional applications where classroom security is required. Typical installations include K-12 school classrooms, college lecture rooms, and similar spaces where the outside lever must remain locked to control access. The less-cylinder configuration allows facilities managers and locksmiths to install the building's existing interchangeable core or standard keyway cylinder, maintaining a unified keying system across the property. The satin chrome (626) finish is a widely specified finish in commercial construction and blends with standard commercial door hardware schedules.

Compatibility

Designed as a commercial-grade, OEM-specified replacement or new-installation lever lock for ND Series cylindrical lock applications in classroom and institutional door hardware schedules. Specific cylinder compatibility depends on the core type selected at installation; consult the door hardware schedule or a licensed locksmith for core fitment.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified commercial door hardware technician in accordance with the door manufacturer's preparation specifications and applicable building codes. Verify the door prep (bore pattern and backset) matches the ND Series requirements before installation. Because this unit ships less cylinder, the appropriate key cylinder or interchangeable core must be procured and installed separately. Disengage all access to the opening and confirm the door is properly aligned before final hardware installation.
