Schlage ND73PD Rho 626 Grade 1 Corridor Lock

Product Description

The SCHLAGE ND73PD RHO 626 is a Grade 1 corridor lock designed for commercial and institutional door hardware applications. It features the Rhodes lever trim and a standard cylinder configuration, finished in satin chrome (626). The corridor function keeps the latch retracted from the outside unless a valid credential or key is used, while the inside lever remains free-egress at all times. This lock is non-handed, meaning it installs on doors with either a left-hand or right-hand swing without modification. Commercial door hardware installers and locksmiths are the primary trades for this product.

The ND73PD RHO 626 is suited for interior commercial corridors, stairwells, and controlled-access doors in office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and similar occupancies. The corridor function is a common requirement where free egress is mandated but access control from the outside is needed. The non-handed design reduces inventory requirements and simplifies installation on mixed-swing door schedules.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation corridor lock for commercial Grade 1 cylindrical lock applications compatible with standard ANSI prep doors.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified commercial door hardware installer. Verify the door preparation matches the required ANSI cylindrical bore pattern before installation. Ensure the door is secure and not under load during installation to prevent misalignment of the latch and strike. Consult local building and fire codes, including IBC egress requirements, to confirm the corridor function is appropriate for the intended application.
