Schlage Commercial ND82JRHO626 Nd Series Institution Lever

Product Description

The SCHLAGE COMMERCIAL ND82JRHO626 is an ND Series institution-function lever lock trim configured as Large Format Less Core (LFIC), meaning it ships without a cylinder core and accepts most major manufacturers' large-format interchangeable cores. It features Rhodes lever trim with a satin chrome (626) finish and ships with a 13-247 latch and 10-025 strike included. Designed for institutional and commercial door hardware applications, this lever set is installed by licensed locksmiths, commercial door hardware technicians, and facility maintenance professionals who work with cylindrical lock systems in high-traffic, security-critical environments.

Institution function (ND82) means the lever is always locked from the outside and requires a key to enter, while the inside lever always allows free egress. This function is commonly specified for hospital rooms, detention facilities, mental health units, and secure institutional corridors where controlled access and reliable egress are code requirements. The satin chrome finish suits aluminum-framed doors and commercial hollow-metal frames typical of healthcare and educational facilities.

Compatibility

Designed for use with SCHLAGE COMMERCIAL ND Series cylindrical lock chassis. Accepts large-format interchangeable cores. Supplied with 13-247 latch and 10-025 strike. No specific compatible door model numbers were provided in the product data; verify door prep and backset requirements against current ND Series installation templates before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified commercial door hardware technician familiar with cylindrical lock systems and applicable building codes. Power down or de-energize any electrified hardware on the door assembly before beginning work. Confirm the door prep, backset, and handing against the ND Series installation template; installing a core-ready lever without the correct interchangeable core installed will leave the lock non-functional. Consult the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) and applicable IBC or NFPA 101 egress requirements for institutional occupancies before specifying institution-function hardware.
