Schlage ND96PDEU Rho 626 Electrified Cylindrical Lock

Product Description

The SCHLAGE ND96PDEU RHO 626 is a Grade 1 electrified cylindrical lock designed for storeroom function applications requiring controlled access and electronic locking integration. It operates on 12-24 volts DC and is configured fail secure, meaning the latch remains locked when power is removed. The lock features a Rhodes lever handle and a satin chrome (626) finish. A 2-3/4 inch backset accommodates standard commercial door preparations. Vandlgard protection is included, reinforcing the lever assembly against forced manipulation. This unit is specified for commercial and institutional access control installations where reliability and durability under heavy use are required.

This lock is suited for commercial interior doors in applications such as offices, healthcare facilities, educational buildings, and institutional environments where storeroom-function access control is required. The storeroom configuration keeps the exterior lever locked at all times, allowing entry only via credential or remote release while the interior lever remains free for egress. The fail secure mode ensures the door stays locked during a power loss event, making it appropriate for secured areas that must remain controlled without power.
