Schlage ND96PD Ath 626 Grade 1 Storeroom Lock

Product Description

The SCHLAGE ND96PD ATH 626 is a Grade 1 commercial storeroom lock designed for high-traffic door applications requiring controlled access. The outside lever is always locked and can only be operated by a key, while the inside lever provides free egress at all times. This unit features the Athens lever design and a standard cylinder, finished in satin chrome (626). It is installed by licensed locksmiths, commercial door hardware contractors, or facilities maintenance professionals on hollow metal or wood doors in commercial and institutional settings.

This storeroom lock is suited for supply rooms, server rooms, utility closets, pharmacies, and other restricted-access spaces in commercial, institutional, and light industrial buildings. The non-handed design simplifies inventory and speeds installation, as the lock fits both left-hand and right-hand doors without modification. The Athens lever profile meets ADA lever-handle requirements where mandated by local code.
