Schlage ND70JD Lat 622 Classroom Lock Matte Black

Product Description

The SCHLAGE ND70JD LAT 622 is a Grade 1 classroom lock fitted with the Latitude lever design and finished in matte black (finish code 622). Built to ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 standards, this lock delivers the durability and cycle life required for high-traffic institutional and commercial doors. It ships in a Schlage Full Size Interchangeable Core (FSIC) prep, meaning the lockbody is machined and ready to accept an FSIC cylinder but does not include a core. This allows facilities managers and locksmiths to install their existing keying system without rekeying the entire hardware set. The non-handed design simplifies ordering and reduces inventory for installers working across multiple door swings.

This classroom-function lock is intended for educational facilities, healthcare buildings, government offices, and commercial spaces where controlled access is required. The classroom function keeps the outside lever locked at all times by key, while the inside lever remains free for egress. It is suitable for use on wood or hollow metal doors prepared to standard mortise or cylindrical bore dimensions. Licensed locksmiths, commercial door hardware installers, and facility maintenance professionals are the primary installers of this hardware.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation classroom lockset for commercial and institutional doors prepared for Schlage ND-series cylindrical lock hardware with FSIC core preparation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified commercial door hardware technician familiar with ANSI cylindrical lockset procedures. Verify that the door prep, latch bore, and strike are dimensioned correctly for the ND-series chassis before installation. Because this unit ships without a core, an appropriate FSIC core must be sourced and installed separately before the lock is placed into service. Follow all applicable local building codes and life-safety egress requirements when installing classroom-function hardware.
