Schlage ND82TD Rho 626 Grade 1 Institutional Lock

Product Description

The SCHLAGE ND82TD RHO 626 is a Grade 1 institutional cylindrical lock designed for high-traffic commercial and institutional applications. It features the Rhodes lever trim and ships with a construction core installed, allowing facilities to maintain access control during the construction phase before transitioning to a permanent core. The lock is prepared for Schlage Full Size Interchangeable Core (FSIC), making it compatible with large-format interchangeable core keying systems. The satin chrome (626) finish provides a clean, professional appearance suited to institutional environments. Licensed locksmiths, commercial door hardware specialists, and facilities maintenance technicians are the typical installers.

This lock is built for institutional settings such as schools, hospitals, government buildings, and commercial facilities where durability and key control are critical. The non-handed design simplifies inventory management and allows installation on doors of any hand without modification. The FSIC prep means the permanent core can be swapped out by an authorized technician using a control key, eliminating the need to disassemble the lock during rekeying. The Rhodes lever profile offers a straightforward, code-compliant lever shape appropriate for ADA-accessible door hardware requirements.
