Schlage ND96BDEL Rho 626 Rx Electrified Cylindrical Lock

Product Description

The SCHLAGE ND96BDEL RHO 626 RX is a Grade 1 electrified cylindrical lock engineered for storeroom function with Vandlgard protection. It operates on 12-24 volts DC and is configured fail safe, meaning the lock releases upon loss of power. The Rhodes lever trim and satin chrome finish provide a clean, professional appearance suited to commercial interior openings. A 2-3/4 inch backset and SFIC (Small Format Interchangeable Core) prep make this lock compatible with access control and key control systems commonly specified in institutional and commercial facilities. Licensed locksmiths, security integrators, and commercial door hardware installers are the primary trades for this product.

This lock is designed for commercial storeroom applications where electric release control is required. Storeroom function means the outside lever is always locked and requires either a credential or an electrical signal to release. The fail safe configuration ensures the door unlocks during a power outage, which is required in many life-safety and egress applications. The SFIC prep accommodates interchangeable core cylinders from SFIC-compatible systems. The RX designation indicates the unit is prepared for request-to-exit monitoring, making it suitable for access-controlled doors that require egress reporting.

Designed as an OEM-style commercial cylindrical lock for Grade 1 electrified door hardware applications. Specific compatible door preps, access control panels, and interchangeable core systems should be confirmed against the installation specification prior to ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified commercial door hardware technician familiar with electrified hardware and access control wiring. Disconnect and lock out all power to the access control circuit before installing or servicing the lock. Wire routing through the door and frame must comply with applicable NEC requirements for low-voltage control wiring. Confirm door prep dimensions, backset, and handing before mounting to avoid field modification of the lock chassis.
