Schlage ND70PD Rho 626 Grade 1 Classroom Lock

Product Description

The SCHLAGE ND70PD RHO 626 is a Grade 1 commercial classroom lock featuring the Rhodes lever trim and a satin chrome finish. Built to ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 standards, it delivers heavy-duty cycle life and durability suited for high-traffic educational and institutional environments. The standard cylinder accepts conventional key systems, and the non-handed design simplifies installation on either left- or right-handed doors without modification. Licensed locksmiths, commercial door hardware installers, and facility maintenance professionals are the typical installers for this hardware.

This classroom lock is designed for schools, universities, government buildings, and commercial facilities where controlled access is required. The classroom function keeps the outside lever locked at all times, allowing exit from the inside at any time while outside entry requires a key. This configuration meets common requirements for securing classroom doors without the need to manually lock or unlock from inside. The Rhodes lever provides a contemporary profile compatible with standard commercial door prep specifications.
