Schlage ND96JDEU Rho 626 Rx Electrified Cylindrical Lock

Product Description

The SCHLAGE ND96JDEU RHO 626 RX is a Grade 1 electrified cylindrical lock configured for storeroom function with Vandlgard anti-vandalism protection. It operates on 12 to 24 volts DC and is designed fail secure, meaning the latch remains locked when power is interrupted. The Rhodes lever trim is finished in satin chrome (626) and the lock ships with a Large Format Interchangeable Core (LFIC) prep, accommodating a wide range of commercial keying systems. The 2.75-inch backset fits standard commercial door preparations. This hardware is installed by commercial locksmiths, door hardware specialists, and security integrators in access-controlled commercial openings.

This lock is suited for storeroom and security applications where the outside lever is always locked and can only be unlocked by credential or remote electric signal. The fail-secure configuration makes it appropriate for areas requiring maintained security during a power outage, such as server rooms, pharmacies, stockrooms, and restricted-access corridors. The RX designation indicates a request-to-exit monitoring output for integration with access control panels. The LFIC prep allows the core to be specified separately, supporting large-scale masterkeying programs common in institutional and commercial facilities.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed commercial locksmith or qualified door hardware technician familiar with electrified hardware and low-voltage wiring practices. Disconnect and de-energize all access control wiring before servicing the lock or connected hardware. Follow NFPA 70 (NEC) guidelines when routing low-voltage control wiring through the door and frame. Verify that the door prep, backset, and cross-bore dimensions match the lock specifications before installation.
