Schlage ND80BDEL Rho 626 Electrified Cylindrical Lock

Product Description

The SCHLAGE ND80BDEL RHO 626 is a Grade 1 electrified cylindrical lock configured for storeroom function with fail-safe operation. It accepts 12-24 volts DC, making it compatible with a wide range of access control power supplies. The lock features a Rhodes lever trim and a 2.75-inch backset, and it ships ready for Small Format Interchangeable Core (SFIC) prep. Finished in satin chrome (626), it is built for commercial and institutional door hardware applications where controlled entry and code-compliant electrified locking are required. Licensed locksmiths, security integrators, and commercial door hardware installers are the primary trades who specify and install this hardware.

This lock is suited for commercial storeroom applications where the lever is locked from the outside at all times and can only be unlocked by credential or electrical signal. Typical installations include storage rooms, server rooms, utility closets, and secured interior doors in commercial, institutional, and light industrial facilities. The SFIC prep allows facilities using a small format interchangeable core keying system to install their existing cores without modification. The fail-safe configuration means the lock releases upon loss of power, which is appropriate for doors on egress paths where life-safety codes require free egress.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified commercial door hardware technician familiar with ANSI cylindrical lock prep standards and low-voltage wiring practices. Disconnect or de-energize the access control power supply before wiring the lock to prevent damage to electronics. Low-voltage wiring must comply with applicable NEC requirements for Class 2 circuits. Verify that the fail-safe configuration is appropriate for the door's fire rating and local life-safety code requirements before installation.
