Schlage Commercial ND82BRHO626 Institution Lever Lockset

Product Description

The SCHLAGE COMMERCIAL ND82BRHO626 is an institution-function lever lockset in the ND Series, designed for high-security commercial and institutional door hardware applications. It features the Rhodes (RHO) lever trim and ships in a Satin Chrome (626) finish. The lockset is configured as Small Format Less Core (SFIC-ready), meaning it does not include a cylinder core and is compatible with small-format interchangeable core systems. Included hardware consists of a 13-247 latch and 10-025 strike plate. Licensed trades and institutional facility personnel typically specify and install this hardware on interior institutional doors requiring controlled access.

The ND82BRHO626 is suited for commercial and institutional environments such as hospitals, correctional facilities, schools, and government buildings where institution-function locksets are required. Institution function means the lever is always locked from the outside and always free from the inside, a configuration commonly specified for patient rooms, secure corridors, and similar controlled-access openings. The Satin Chrome finish provides corrosion resistance appropriate for high-use interior doors. The Small Format Less Core configuration allows facilities using a masterkey or SFIC system to install their own cores on a common hardware platform.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified door hardware technician familiar with commercial mortise and cylindrical lockset procedures. Power to any adjacent electrified hardware or access control equipment should be disconnected before beginning work. Verify door prep dimensions and backset before installation, and confirm the correct SFIC core is on hand before commissioning the lockset. Local building and life-safety codes, including IBC egress requirements, should be confirmed prior to specifying institution-function hardware for a given opening.
