Schlage pc53-b-rho-613 Cylindrical Storeroom Lock Sfic Bronze

Product Description

The SCHLAGE pc53-b-rho-613 is a Grade 1 cylindrical storeroom lock designed for commercial and institutional door hardware applications. It features the Rhodes lever trim and is factory-prepped for Small Format Interchangeable Core (SFIC) cylinders, supplied less core so the end user or facility manager can install their own keying system. The 2-3/4 inch backset fits standard commercial door preps, and the unit ships with a latch and ANSI strike. The Oil Rubbed Bronze finish (613/US10B) suits architectural specifications calling for a dark, matte appearance.

This lock is intended for storeroom function, meaning the lever is always locked from the outside and requires a key or credential for entry, while the inside lever remains free-egress at all times. It is well-suited to commercial offices, healthcare facilities, educational buildings, and light institutional environments where controlled access to storage or restricted rooms is required. Licensed locksmiths, commercial door hardware installers, and facility maintenance teams are the primary installers. The SFIC prep allows integration into existing master-key or interchangeable-core keying programs without additional machining.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified commercial door hardware technician familiar with ANSI cylindrical lock preps and SFIC core seating procedures. Verify door thickness and backset measurement before installation, and confirm the door prep matches the ANSI strike template included with the unit. Disengage all building access control or alarm circuits tied to the door before beginning work. Do not force the SFIC core into the housing; follow the core manufacturer's insertion and rotation procedure to avoid damaging the core or retainer.
