Schlage ND96BDEL Rho 626 Electrified Cylindrical Lock

Product Description

The SCHLAGE ND96BDEL RHO 626 is a Grade 1 electrified cylindrical lock designed for storeroom function with Vandlgard protection. It operates on 12-24 volts DC and is configured fail safe, meaning the lock releases when power is removed. The 2-3/4 inch backset and Rhodes lever trim make it suitable for standard commercial door preparations. This lock is specified for access-controlled entry points where electric release is required and where forced-entry resistance is a priority. Licensed locksmiths, security integrators, and commercial door hardware professionals are the typical installers.

This lock is suited for commercial and institutional storeroom applications where the lever is always locked from the outside and can only be opened by credential or electric release. The SFIC (Small Format Interchangeable Core) prep allows the lock body to accept interchangeable cores from major SFIC-compatible systems without full cylinder replacement. The storeroom function combined with electrified release makes it appropriate for server rooms, pharmacies, supply closets, and secured storage areas in commercial buildings.
