Schlage ND96BDEU Ath 626 Electrified Cylindrical Lock

Product Description

The SCHLAGE ND96BDEU ATH 626 is a Grade 1 electrified cylindrical lock designed for storeroom function with Vandlgard protection in commercial access control applications. It operates on 12-24 volts DC and is configured fail secure, meaning the latch remains locked when power is lost. The lock features a 2-3/4 inch backset and an Athens lever trim in a satin chrome finish. It includes SFIC (Small Format Interchangeable Core) prep, allowing integration with standard interchangeable core keying systems. Licensed locksmiths, access control integrators, and commercial door hardware installers are the primary trades for this hardware.

This lock is suited for interior commercial doors requiring controlled, monitored, or remote-release storeroom access. Storeroom function means the outside lever is always locked and can only be retracted by key or electrical signal, while the inside lever is always free egress. The fail secure configuration makes it appropriate for secured storage rooms, server rooms, and similar spaces where the door must remain locked during a power outage. The Athens lever and satin chrome finish align with standard commercial architectural hardware specifications.
