Schlage ND80JDEL Rho 626 Electrified Cylindrical Lock

Product Description

The SCHLAGE ND80JDEL RHO 626 is a Grade 1 electrified cylindrical lock configured for storeroom function with a fail-safe power mode. It operates on 12-24 volts DC, making it compatible with a wide range of access control power supplies. The lock features a Rhodes lever handle and is prepared for Large Format Interchangeable Core (LFIC) cylinders, which simplifies re-keying in institutional or commercial environments. A 2.75-inch backset fits standard commercial door preparations. The satin chrome (626) finish provides a clean, professional appearance suited to high-use openings. This lock is installed by licensed locksmiths, security integrators, and commercial door hardware professionals.

This cylindrical lock is designed for commercial and institutional applications where electronic access control is required at storeroom-function openings. In a storeroom configuration, the outside lever is always locked and can only be released by an electrical signal or a key, while the inside lever allows free egress at all times. Fail-safe operation means the lock retracts the latch and allows free passage when power is lost, which is a common code requirement for doors in paths of egress. Typical installations include office suites, server rooms, storage areas, and institutional corridors where controlled entry and reliable egress are both required.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified commercial door hardware technician familiar with electrified hardware and applicable access control wiring practices. Disconnect power to the access control system before wiring the lock, and verify that the power supply output matches the 12-24 volt DC operating range of the lock. Confirm door preparation dimensions, backset, and handing before installation. Consult applicable building and fire codes, including NFPA 101, to ensure fail-safe operation is appropriate for the specific door opening and occupancy type.
