Schlage ND96LDEU Rho 626 Electrified Cylindrical Lock

Product Description

The SCHLAGE ND96LDEU RHO 626 is a Grade 1 electrified cylindrical lock designed for storeroom function applications requiring controlled access and reliable fail-secure operation. Built to ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 standards, this lock accepts 12 to 24 volts DC, making it compatible with a wide range of access control power supplies. The Rhodes lever trim and satin chrome finish provide a clean, professional appearance suited to commercial environments. The unit ships less cylinder, so the installing locksmith or access control technician will supply the cylinder core separately. The 2-3/4-inch backset fits standard commercial door preparations.

This lock is specified for commercial and institutional applications where electrified storeroom function is required - the outside lever is always locked and can only be retracted by electrical signal or a key, while the inside lever remains free-egress at all times. Typical installations include server rooms, pharmacies, secure storage areas, and access-controlled corridors. The Vandlgard feature provides additional protection against lever-force attacks, a common requirement in high-traffic or high-risk environments. Licensed locksmiths, access control integrators, and commercial door hardware installers are the primary trades for this product.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or credentialed access control integrator familiar with ANSI cylindrical lock hardware and low-voltage wiring practices. Disconnect power to the access control circuit before wiring the electric chassis, and verify the supply voltage falls within the 12 to 24 volts DC operating range. The lock ships less cylinder - confirm the correct keyway and core format before ordering the cylinder. Reference applicable local building codes and ADA egress requirements when selecting function and trim for the specific door application.
