Schlage ND96BD Spa 626 Storeroom Lock Satin Chrome

Product Description

The SCHLAGE ND96BD SPA 626 is a Grade 1 commercial storeroom lockset built on the ND-series cylindrical platform. It features the Sparta lever trim and is prepared for Small Format Interchangeable Core (SFIC) installation, shipped less core so the end user supplies the cylinder. The satin chrome (626) finish provides a clean, low-maintenance appearance suited to commercial interiors. Storeroom function means the outside lever is always locked and can only be opened by key, while the inside lever provides free egress at all times. Licensed locksmiths, commercial door hardware installers, and facility maintenance teams are the typical installers.

This lockset is intended for commercial storeroom, supply room, and secure access doors where controlled entry is required from the outside while unrestricted exit must be maintained. The non-handed design allows installation on doors with any handing without modification. The SFIC prep accommodates interchangeable core systems from compatible SFIC manufacturers, making it practical for facilities running large master-key or access-control programs across multiple openings.

Key Features

• Grade 1 ANSI/BHMA certification - highest cycle and force rating for commercial duty

• SFIC prep less core - field-installable interchangeable core, core sold separately

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style cylindrical lockset for commercial-grade door prep openings requiring ANSI standard cylindrical boring and SFIC-compatible core housings.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified commercial door hardware technician familiar with ANSI cylindrical lock prep dimensions. Verify the door prep matches the standard cylindrical boring pattern before installation. Because this unit ships less core, a compatible SFIC core must be sourced and installed separately before the lock is placed into service. Consult local building codes and fire egress requirements to confirm storeroom function is permitted for the intended opening.
