Schlage ND82BD Spa 626 Institutional Lock Satin Chrome

Product Description

The SCHLAGE ND82BD SPA 626 is a Grade 1 institutional cylindrical lock designed for high-traffic, high-security commercial and institutional door hardware applications. It features the Sparta lever trim and is prepared for Small Format Interchangeable Core (SFIC) installation with the core not included, allowing facilities to use their existing keying system. The satin chrome (626) finish provides a clean, durable appearance suited for institutional environments. This lock meets the demands of commercial-grade door hardware and is intended for installation by licensed locksmiths or qualified commercial door hardware technicians.

This lock is suited for institutional settings such as hospitals, schools, government facilities, and commercial office buildings where Grade 1 security and SFIC keying flexibility are required. The non-handed design simplifies inventory and installation, as the lever and latchbolt function on either left-hand or right-hand swing doors without modification. The SFIC prep configuration allows the facility to install an interchangeable core from their master key system at the time of commissioning.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified commercial door hardware technician familiar with cylindrical lock mortise prep standards. Ensure the door is properly bored to the manufacturer-specified cross-bore and edge-bore dimensions before mounting. The SFIC core must be ordered separately and installed according to the core manufacturer's instructions. Verify door thickness and backset compatibility before beginning installation.
