ND12EU - EXIT LOCK, ELECTRICALLY UNLOCKED (FAIL SAFE)

Outside lever continuously locked electrically. Unlocked by switch or power failure. Auxiliary latch deadlocks latchbolt when door is closed. Inside lever always unlocked for immediate egress. Also available with Request to Exit (RX) function


Schlage ND SERIES OVERVIEW

The Schlage ND Series offers a full breadth of commercial lock options with a suited combination of mechanical, electrified and electronic options. This overview covers common characteristics for the mechanical and electrified lock information.

Beyond grade 1 performance is the hallmark of the mechanical and electrified locks. ND Series locks are tested to withstand 3,100 in-lb. of abusive lever torque - more than 2 1/2 times the Grade 1 standard requirement. Offset lever pull testing up to 1,600 lbs. assures you of the lock's superb resistance against pry bar attacks. More than strong, ND Series is built to last and shows nearly zero droop or wobble after 16 million cycles.

All ND Series locks including electronic and ligature-resistant trim use the common cylindrical ANSI 161 door preparation making them easily interchangeable. They are ideal for all new construction and retrofit applications.


ND Series Mechanical Lock

The ND mechanical lock, along with being Schlage’s best selling mechanical lock, is the foundation for both the wired electrified and NDE wireless electronic lock. Not only did Schlage invent the cylindrical lock, but we continue to make it better with capabilities such as:

  • Unparalleled strength - the lock prevents access even when subjected to torque loads up to 3,100 in-lbs (2.6x BHMA1), withstands pry bar attacks of 1,600 lbs (8x BHMA requirements1), and withstands 100 hammer blows (20x BHMA requirements1, 2)
  • Exceptional durability - cycle tested to over 16M cycles (16x BHMA requirements1) with near zero droop or wobble - without the use of set screws or O-rings
  • Improved feel - improved strength and durability are more than numbers, you can actually feel it in the lock
  • Improved installation - installation is even easier than before (and withoutany set screws or O-rings)


FEATURES & BENEFITS

Security

  • Significantly exceeds ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 requirements
  • No access with minimum 3,100 in-lb. abusive lever torque, the equivalent of over 690 lbs. applied to the end of a 4-1/2" lever, 2.6 times over the BHMA requirement*
  • No access with minimum 1,600 lbs. offset lever pull for protection against pry bar attacks, 8 times over the BHMA requirement*
  • 5 points of engagement provide nearly zero droop and wobble after 16 million cycles, 16 times over the BHMA requirement*, without the use of set screws or o-rings
  • High security locking when used with Primus XP UL 437 listed cylinders

Function availability and convenience

  • 24 mechanical/4 electrified functions (custom functions available)
  • Multiple key systems available: open, patented and restricted
  • Four electrified functions auto-detect 12/24V DC operation and, with maximum current draws of 0.4 amps and 0.1 amps holding current eliminate heated levers
  • Indicator roses for classroom applications
  • Three spring cage sets support all Schlage plus eight competitive cylinder formats

Aesthetics

  • Nine lever and four rose designs
  • Ten available finishes
  • Perfectly suited to Schlage ALX Series grade 2 locks
  • Suites with Von Duprin exit devices and other Schlage products

Options

  • Vandlgard option lets the lever freely rotate up and down when locked protecting the chassis from excessive force on the lever to prevent vandlism - available on most keyed functions

* Beyond Grade 1 performance for ND Series locks with Schlage cylinders only (Conventional, FSIC & SFIC). Performance with non-Schlage cylinders will exceed BHMA grade 1 requirements, but the product performance may be less than that of Schlage cylinders.

Schlage ND12DEU-RHO-626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the Schlage ND12EU exit lock actually do when the power goes out?
On the ND12EU the outside lever stays locked while power is applied, and it unlocks when the current drops or a switch cuts it. That is fail-secure wiring in Schlage's naming but fail-safe behavior at the opening: lose power and the outside lever becomes free. The inside lever is always unlocked for immediate egress, powered or not. If you need the outside lever to stay locked through a power loss, this is the wrong function for that opening.
2) Is the Schlage ND12EU keyed, and can you get in from the outside without power?
No cylinder and no key on the ND12EU. It is a non-keyed exit function, so outside access depends entirely on the electric unlock or on the door being opened from the inside. Anywhere you need key override from the corridor side, look at a keyed ND function such as the ND80 storeroom lock instead.
3) What voltage does the electrified Schlage ND lock run on and how much current does it draw?
The electrified ND functions auto-detect 12 or 24V DC, so one part number covers either supply. Maximum draw is 0.4 amps with 0.1 amps holding current, which is what keeps the levers from heating up on a continuously energized opening. Size your power supply and door loop off the 0.4 amp inrush figure.
4) Will a Schlage ND12EU drop into the door prep I already have?
If the door is prepped for a standard cylindrical lock it will. Every ND Series lock, including the electrified and electronic trim, uses the common cylindrical ANSI 161 prep, so the ND12EU goes into new construction or a retrofit of an existing 161 bore without redrilling the face. The standard latch is a 13-247 deadlatch on a 2-3/4 inch backset with a square corner 1-1/8 x 2-1/4 face, so check that your existing edge bore matches that backset before you order.
5) Will the ND12EU latch into the strike that's already in my frame?
The lock ships with a 10-025 ANSI strike, no box, measuring 1-1/4 x 4-7/8 with a 1-3/16 inch lip length. If your frame carries a standard ANSI 4-7/8 inch strike cutout you are latching into what is already there. Frames with a T-strike or a non-ANSI prep need the strike changed or the frame reworked. The auxiliary latch deadlocks the latchbolt once the door is closed, so the strike has to hold both the latch and the deadlatch plunger against the stop.
6) Can a Schlage ND12EU go on a fire rated door?
Yes. ND Series locks are UL and cUL listed for 3 hour A label single fire doors up to 4'0" x 10'0", and for pair doors at 8'0" x 8'0" 3 hour or 8'0" x 10'0" 90 minute with the 3/4 inch latch option. On the pair door applications you have to order that 3/4 inch latch, it is not what comes standard.
7) Does the Schlage ND12EU meet ADA and accessibility code for a school or healthcare corridor?
It meets ADA requirements and complies with ICC A117.1 for accessible and usable buildings, which is what an inspector looks for on a lever. For California, levers with a return to door of 1/2 inch or less comply, and that covers the Rhodes, Sparta, Tubular, Omega, Longitude and Boardwalk designs. Certification is ANSI/BHMA A156.2 Series 4000 Grade 1, with the wired electrified side complying with A156.25 for indoor use. It also meets the Buy American Act, which matters on federally funded work.
8) What's the closest alternative to the Schlage ND12EU from another brand?
The nearest cross-brand equivalent we carry is the Corbin Russwin CL33903, a Grade 1 electrified cylindrical lever lock for doors 1-3/4 to 2 inches thick. The important difference is direction of operation: the CL33903 is a fail safe lever running on 12VAC/DC, meaning it unlocks on loss of power by design, whereas the ND12EU is designated fail-secure and auto-detects 12 or 24V DC. Match the function to how your access control system is set up before swapping one for the other.
9) What is the closest equivalent to a Schlage ND12EU electrified exit lock from another manufacturer?
The Corbin Russwin CL33903 is the nearest cross-brand match. It is a Grade 1 electrified cylindrical lever lock built for fail safe operation on 12VAC/DC, fitting doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch thick. The Schlage ND12EU is a Grade 1 electrified cylindrical exit lock as well, but it is fail secure - the outside lever stays locked until electric current unlocks it, and it locks again on power loss. The CL33903 releases its outside lever when power is removed. Confirm which state the opening needs before swapping one for the other, because the two behave in opposite ways during a power failure.
10) What lever lock should I use if the opening does not need electric control at all?
If nothing on the door has to be released electrically, a mechanical Grade 1 passage lever covers it. The Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage lock with non-handed levers, rated for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch and fire rated. The Falcon T101 is another Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage lever. Both leave the levers free from both sides at all times. The Schlage ND12EU is an electronic lock whose outside lever is held locked until current unlocks it, so it only earns its cost where an access control system or a switch is actually controlling that outside lever.
11) I need key override on an electrified lever - does the ND12EU do that?
No. The Schlage ND12EU is non-keyed; it has no cylinder, and access from the outside comes only from the electric release. Where a mechanical key override is required alongside the electrified function, the Corbin Russwin CL33903 keyed electrified cylindrical lever lock is a Grade 1 alternative that takes a cylinder and runs on 12VAC/DC, for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. Note it is a fail safe device, so the outside lever unlocks on power loss rather than staying locked.
12) Is an electronic keypad lever the same thing as an electrified exit lock?
No, and they are easy to confuse because both are called electronic. The Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock and the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination for doors 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch - both carry their own credential at the door and need no access control system behind them. The Schlage ND12EU is a Grade 1 cylindrical lock with no credential of its own: its outside lever is held locked until an external switch or access control circuit passes current. If there is no system to wire it to, a keypad lever is the standalone option.
13) Do I have to specify handing when I order a Schlage ND12EU?
No handing to call out. The ND12EU is non-handed, so the same lock covers left and right hand openings and you are not stuck with the wrong unit if the door swing on the drawing turns out reversed. What you do specify is lever design and finish.
14) Which lever designs and finishes can I get on the Schlage ND12EU, and will they match the rest of my building?
Nine lever designs are offered: Athens, Boardwalk, Broadway, Latitude, Longitude, Omega, Rhodes, Sparta and Tubular. Finishes run ten deep, 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, 626AM satin chrome antimicrobial and 643E aged bronze. Because ND suites with Von Duprin exit devices and with Schlage's ALX Grade 2 locks, you can carry one lever design and finish across the exit doors, the storerooms and the lighter traffic openings in the same facility. The 626AM antimicrobial finish is the one to specify in healthcare.
15) How do I get door position or request-to-exit signal back to my access control panel with an ND12EU?
The ND12EU is also offered with a Request to Exit function, which reports when the inside lever is turned. If your panel needs to know that someone egressed, or you are shunting an alarm on legitimate exit, order the RX variant rather than adding a separate device to the opening.
16) What's the difference between an electrified exit lock like the ND12EU and a plain passage lever?
A passage lever never locks, either side, so it controls nothing. The ND12EU keeps the outside lever locked under power and only releases it on a signal or a power drop, while the inside lever always retracts the latch for egress. Use it where a card reader or a front desk button governs who gets in from the corridor. Where you only need the door to latch and never need to control entry, a Grade 1 passage lock is cheaper and takes no wiring, for instance the Falcon K101 or the Corbin Russwin CL3110.
17) Can I standardize a whole facility on ND Series and swap functions later without changing the door prep?
That is the practical argument for the series. All ND locks, mechanical, electrified, electronic and ligature-resistant trim, share the common cylindrical ANSI 161 prep, so they are interchangeable in the same door. Twenty-four mechanical and four electrified functions are offered, which means you can put an ND12EU on the electrified opening today and change that same door to a storeroom or classroom function later by swapping the lock, not the door.
18) Is a Grade 2 passage lever a workable substitute for a Grade 1 exit lock on a corridor door?
They are different classes of product on two counts. The Falcon B101 is a Grade 2, medium duty cylindrical passage lever, and the Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 passage/closet cylindrical lever - both leave the outside lever free at all times with no electric control. The Schlage ND12EU is a Grade 1, heavy duty electrified exit lock whose outside lever stays locked until current releases it, with the inside lever always unlocked for immediate egress. A corridor door being controlled by a card reader or a release switch needs the electrified function; a door that only needs to latch does not.
19) What should I put on a door that needs a key to enter but no wiring - a storeroom instead of an exit lock?
For a mechanical keyed door with no electrical run to it, a storeroom function lever is the usual answer. The Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever lockset with a deadlocking latchbolt for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom cylindrical lock with a Withnell lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Schlage ND12EU takes a different approach to the same secured door: it is non-keyed and its outside lever is released by electric current, with an auxiliary latch that deadlocks the latchbolt when the door is closed. Choose by whether the credential is a key or a wired release.
20) Can I use a dummy lever on the secured side instead of an exit lock?
Only if that side is never meant to open. The BEST 9K Series 1DT is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed single dummy trim cylindrical lever, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 single dummy cylindrical lever - dummy trim is a pull with no latch and no chassis behind it. The Schlage ND12EU is a working cylindrical lock with an auxiliary latch that deadlocks the latchbolt when the door is closed and an outside lever that operates once current unlocks it. A dummy will not secure or latch a door.
21) What is a vandal resistant non-keyed Grade 1 lever alternative for a heavily abused door?
The Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant cylindrical lever lock in passage/closet function, fire rated, for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. It is non-keyed and leaves both levers free. The Schlage ND12EU is also Grade 1 and non-keyed, but it holds the outside lever locked until electric current unlocks it and is offered with the Vandlgard option, which lets the outside lever rotate freely when locked so force on the lever does not reach the chassis. Both address lever abuse; only the ND12EU controls who gets in.
22) Will a residential-grade lever hold up on the same opening as an ND12EU?
They are built to different service levels. The Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever and the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever are Grade 3 sets for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Cal-Royal AUS00 entrance lever is Grade 3 for the same thickness range. The Schlage ND12EU is a Grade 1, heavy duty commercial lock tested to over 16 million cycles with near zero droop or wobble. On an opening that cycles all day under an access control system, that difference in cycle life is the whole point of the specification.
23) What do I use for a classroom door instead of an exit lock?
Classroom openings call for a keyed function at the door rather than an electrified exit lock. The Dexter C1000 classroom lever is a Grade 1 clutching keyed lock for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the C1000 classroom security version adds inside keyed control of the outside lever in the same Grade 1 clutching format. The Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever is a Grade 2 option with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway and a 2-3/4 inch backset. The Schlage ND12EU is non-keyed and depends entirely on an external circuit to release the outside lever, which is why it suits access-controlled corridors rather than teacher-locked classrooms.
24) I have Von Duprin exit devices in the building already. Will Schlage ND levers match them?
They will. ND Series suites with Von Duprin exit devices and other Schlage products, so a stairwell with a Von Duprin device and a corridor door with an ND12EU can carry the same lever design and finish. Pick your lever from the nine designs and hold the finish constant across both.
25) Which Grade 1 non-keyed lever works on thinner doors than the usual commercial range?
The Falcon K101 Grade 1 heavy duty passage lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Dexter C1000 asylum function Grade 1 lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. For comparison, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever starts at 1-3/4 inch. If the doors in the building run thinner than standard commercial stock, that starting figure is what decides the order - check it before specifying across a fleet of openings.
