Schlage ND96 Vandlgard Storeroom Lock — Grade 1 Cylindrical Lever Lock
The Schlage ND96 is a heavy-duty commercial storeroom lock built for facilities where controlled, key-only access is required. The outside lever is always disengaged — entry is by key only. The inside lever is always unlocked for immediate egress. Also available with Request to Exit (RX). Vandlgard trim features a lever that freely rotates up and down when locked, protecting the chassis from excessive force and preventing vandalism-driven lockout.
