Schlage ND70JD Ath 622 Classroom Lock Matte Black

Product Description

The SCHLAGE ND70JD ATH 622 is a Grade 1 classroom lock designed for commercial and institutional door hardware applications. It features the Athens lever handle and is prepared for Schlage Full Size Interchangeable Core (FSIC) installation without a core included. The matte black (622) finish provides a clean, consistent appearance in modern commercial interiors. This lock meets the demands of high-traffic environments and is designed to meet ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 standards for heavy-duty commercial use. Licensed locksmiths, commercial door hardware technicians, and facilities maintenance professionals are the typical installers.

The ND70JD ATH 622 is suited for classroom security applications in schools, universities, government buildings, and other institutional facilities. The classroom function allows the lock to be secured from the outside with a key while maintaining free egress from the inside at all times. The non-handed design simplifies inventory and installation, as it fits both left-hand and right-hand door configurations without modification. The FSIC prep allows facility managers to rekey or swap cores quickly using an interchangeable core system.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified commercial door hardware technician familiar with ANSI cylindrical lock prep standards. Ensure the door and frame are properly prepped per the ANSI A115 bore specification before installing the chassis. The FSIC core must be purchased and installed separately; do not operate the lock in a unsecured core condition in a life-safety application. Verify that the finished installation complies with local building codes and, where applicable, IBC egress requirements for classroom occupancies.
