Schlage ND96EL LLL XXX LLL LLL – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What exactly comes in the Schlage ND96EL chassis, and what do I still have to buy?
The ND96EL ships as the electrified lock chassis only. It is configured Less All Possible Parts, so no trim (lever and rose), no cylinder, and no other lock components are included. You specify and source those separately to match the opening. Plan on ordering the lever design, roses, cylinder and keying, and any finish parts as a separate line, or you will have a chassis with nothing to mount on the door.
2) Does the Schlage ND96EL unlock or stay locked when the power goes out?
It unlocks. The ND96EL is electrically locked, fail safe: power holds the outside lever locked, and when power drops the lever releases so the door can be opened from either side. That is the behavior code officials usually want on stair doors and other egress-critical openings. If your application needs the door to stay secure through a power failure, a fail safe chassis is the wrong choice and you want a fail secure (electrically unlocked) version instead.
3) Can I use the ND96EL to repair an existing Schlage ND-series electrified lock instead of replacing the whole lockset?
That is what it is for. The ND96EL is sold as a component-level replacement chassis for compatible ND-series electrically locked installations, so if the chassis has failed and the trim, cylinder and door prep are still good, you reuse those and swap the chassis only. Match your existing function exactly: this one is the EL (electrically locked, fail safe) Vandlgard configuration, product model ND96EL LLL XXX LLL LLL.
4) Is the Schlage ND96EL a complete lockset I can install out of the box?
No. It is the chassis alone, not a finished lockset. There is no lever, no rose, no cylinder and no strike in the box. Buy it when you are servicing or building up an ND-series electrified opening and already have, or are ordering, the rest of the parts. If you need a ready-to-hang lock, order a complete ND96EL lockset with the trim design and finish specified rather than the bare chassis.
5) What does Vandlgard do on the Schlage ND96 chassis?
Vandlgard lets the outside lever rotate freely when the lock is secured instead of transmitting force into the chassis. Someone hanging on or kicking down the lever moves the lever, not the internal lock parts, which is why it gets specified for schools, transit areas and other abuse-prone openings. The ND96EL carries it as built in protection against forced entry and vandalism.
6) Is the Schlage ND96EL chassis heavy duty enough for a high traffic entry?
Yes. It is a Grade 1 commercial chassis, the heaviest duty tier in the ANSI/BHMA cylindrical lock standard, and it is catalogued for commercial use only rather than residential. Typical placements are office buildings, schools, hospitals, government facilities, warehouses, retail and multi-tenant residential corridors.
7) Why does the Schlage ND96EL show as unfinished, and can I match it to the rest of my doors?
The chassis itself is supplied unfinished because it sits inside the door and is never seen. Visible finish comes from the trim and roses you order separately, so you can match 626 satin chrome, 613 oil rubbed bronze or whatever is already on the other openings without being locked into what the chassis ships as.
