Schlage ND96BDEU Ath 626 Rx Electrified Cylindrical Lock

Product Description

The SCHLAGE ND96BDEU ATH 626 RX is a Grade 1 electrified cylindrical lock configured for storeroom function with Vandlgard protection. It operates on 12-24 volts DC and is factory-set fail secure, meaning the lock remains locked when power is lost. The Athens lever trim and satin chrome (626) finish give it a clean, professional appearance suited for commercial door hardware installations. The 2-3/4 inch backset is the standard dimension for most commercial door preps. This lock includes SFIC (Small Format Interchangeable Core) prep, allowing facilities to use their existing IC keying system. Installation and servicing are typically performed by licensed locksmiths or commercial door hardware technicians.

This electrified cylindrical lock is designed for commercial access control applications where the storeroom function is required - the exterior lever is always locked and can be released only by an electrical signal or a key. Vandlgard protection adds resistance against lever torque attacks, making it well suited for higher-security doors in commercial buildings, institutional facilities, healthcare environments, and similar applications. The RX option integrates request-to-exit or monitoring functionality for use with access control panels. The SFIC prep supports Best and compatible small-format interchangeable core systems.
