Description
Schlage ND96JD RHO 605 Storeroom Lever Lock
Schlage ND96JD RHO 605: a Grade 1 ND Series cylindrical lock with the storeroom function, Rhodes (RHO) lever and Bright Brass (605/US3) finish.
How the Storeroom function works
The outside lever is always locked and opens only with a key; the inside lever is always free. Use it on mechanical rooms, storage and any door that should never be left unlocked.
This is a Vandlgard model: when locked, the outside lever spins freely instead of resisting force, which protects the lock from people forcing or standing on the lever.
Keying
Prepped for a Schlage full-size interchangeable core (FSIC); the core is not included, so order the core that matches your key system.
About the ND Series
The Schlage ND Series is the heavy-duty cylindrical lever lock that many architects specify for schools, hospitals, offices and other busy commercial buildings. It is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.2 Grade 1, the highest cylindrical lock grade, and is UL listed for use on fire-rated doors. Levers are field reversible, so one lock fits left- or right-hand doors, and the lever shapes meet ADA requirements for operation without tight grasping or twisting.
Because the ND fits a standard 161 cylindrical door prep (2-1/8" bore, 2-3/4" backset), it is a common upgrade when replacing worn or lighter-duty locks without re-machining the door.

Questions and answers
Does it come with a cylinder or core?
Prepped for a Schlage full-size interchangeable core (FSIC); the core is not included, so order the core that matches your key system. We can supply a matching core or cylinder; call (877) 202-8118.
Will it fit my existing door?
It fits a standard cylindrical prep: 2-1/8" bore with a 2-3/4" backset on doors 1-5/8" to 2-1/8" thick. Other backsets and thin-door kits are available; ask us if your door is different.
Is it fire rated?
The ND Series is UL listed for fire-rated doors when installed with a compatible latch and strike.
Which hand door does it fit?
Either. ND levers are field reversible, so the same lock works on left- and right-hand doors.
