Command Access CLN96 Grade 1 Electrified Cylindrical Lock with Storeroom Clutch Function

Professional Electrified Cylindrical Lock Solution

The Command Access CLN96 is a Grade 1 electrified cylindrical lock based on the proven Schlage ND80 series platform, designed for heavy-duty commercial applications requiring remote keyless access and egress control. This storeroom clutch function lock operates on 12V or 24V AC/DC power with continuous duty solenoids for fail-safe or fail-secure operation. The outside clutching lever allows lever rotation without retracting the latchbolt when locked, while the inside lever remains free for immediate egress.

  • Continuous Duty Operation: Continuous duty solenoids support "continuously on" applications including fail-safe and extended unlock cycles.
  • Grade 1 Heavy-Duty Construction: Built on the Schlage ND80 series platform for demanding commercial applications where security and safety are critical.
  • Dual Fail Mode Configuration: Available as fail-safe (electrically locked) or fail-secure (electrically unlocked) to meet specific security requirements.
  • Storeroom Clutch Function: Outside lever locked or unlocked electronically with clutching action that allows lever turn without latchbolt retraction when locked.
  • Standard Keyway Compatibility: Available with Schlage C type keyway standard, with all Schlage original keyways available upon request.

Command Access CLN96 EL RHO 626 SC 24V – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the difference between fail-safe and fail-secure on the Command Access CLN96 electrified lock?
The CLN96 is ordered one way or the other, so pick before you buy. Fail-safe means the lock is electrically locked, so it unlocks when power drops, which is what you want on an egress path or a stair door tied to fire alarm release. Fail-secure means it is electrically unlocked, so it stays locked when power drops, which is the usual choice for a storeroom, IT closet, or exterior opening. Both use continuous duty solenoids, so either can sit energized for long unlock cycles without cooking the coil.
2) Does the CLN96 storeroom clutch lever always allow exit from the inside?
Yes. The inside lever on the CLN96 is always free, so anyone inside can leave without a key, a code, or power to the lock. Only the outside lever is controlled electrically. When the outside is locked, its lever spins freely on a clutch instead of going solid, so someone yanking on it does not put torque into the latch train.
3) Do I need a separate request-to-exit switch with the CLN96, or can I get it built in?
Built in, if you specify it. The CLN96 can be ordered with the REX (Request to Exit) switch included or left out. Ordering it with REX gives your access control panel a signal the moment the inside lever is turned, so you can shunt the door contact and avoid a forced-door alarm on normal egress. If the opening already has a separate motion REX or the panel does not need the input, order it without.
4) Will the Command Access CLN96 work with our existing Schlage keys and keyway?
It is built on the Schlage ND80 series platform and ships with the Schlage C keyway as standard, so it keys into an existing Schlage C system. Other original Schlage keyways are available on request. If you run interchangeable core, order the SFIC small format I/C prep or the LFIC factory large format I/C prep instead and drop your own cores in.
5) Is the CLN96 a retrofit kit or a complete lockset?
It is a complete lock, not a kit of electrified guts you install into an existing chassis. Because it is based on the Schlage ND80 series cylindrical platform, it goes into a standard bored cylindrical prep, so an opening already carrying an ND-series lock is the straightforward swap. You still have to get power to the door, which usually means an electric hinge or power transfer.
6) What do I have to specify when ordering a Command Access CLN96?
Six things, and all six change the part: voltage (12V or 24V), fail-safe or fail-secure, cylinder prep (Schlage C keyway, SFIC, or LFIC), lever trim (ATH, RHO, or SPA), finish (613, 625, or 626), and whether the REX switch is included. Settle the fail mode with whoever is writing the life-safety plan before you order, since that one is not field-changeable.
7) What voltage does the Command Access CLN96 electrified cylindrical lock run on?
12V or 24V, AC or DC, chosen when you order. A plug-in bridge rectifier handles AC input, so the lock drops onto either an AC transformer or a DC access control power supply without extra parts in the door. Specify the voltage that matches the panel or supply already feeding that opening.
8) Which lever trims and finishes does the CLN96 come in, and can I match the rest of the building?
Three lever styles: ATH, RHO, and SPA. Three finishes: 613 oil rubbed bronze, 625 polished chrome, and 626 satin chrome. 626 satin chrome is the usual commercial standard, so a building already standardized on Schlage ND locks in 626 will match. Pick the lever style to match what is on the adjacent mechanical openings so the electrified door does not stand out.
9) Is the CLN96 heavy-duty enough for a school or hospital corridor door?
Yes. It is a Grade 1, heavy-duty commercial cylindrical lock, which is the top ANSI/BHMA duty tier for bored locksets and the level normally specified for high-traffic institutional openings. Command Access lists it for educational, healthcare, government, multi-tenant residential, retail, and industrial access control work.
10) Should I use an electrified cylindrical lock like the CLN96 or an electric strike on this door?
An electrified lock like the CLN96 controls the lever itself, so the latchbolt never leaves the frame and the door keeps its mechanical security whether powered or not. That suits openings where you want key override, free egress, and no change to the frame. An electric strike instead releases the keeper in the frame and needs frame prep and wiring on the frame side, which is often easier on a hollow metal frame with an existing mechanical lock. With the CLN96 the wiring runs through the door, so budget an electric hinge or door loop.
11) Can the CLN96 stay unlocked all day for building open hours?
Yes. The solenoids are continuous duty, which means the lock is rated to sit energized indefinitely rather than for short momentary pulses only. That is what lets you run a scheduled unlock through open hours, or hold a fail-safe lock energized and locked around the clock, without overheating the coil.
