Schlage Lock Company ND Series

Beyond grade 1 performance is the hallmark of the mechanical and electrified ND series locks. These locks are put through extreme levels of testing and are proven 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 1,600lbs. 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 functions, ligature-resistant trims, and ground-breaking, high-visibility status indication trims use the common cylindrical ANSI 161L door preparation making them easily interchangeable. They are ideal for all new construction and retrofit applications where grade 1 strength and security are desired.

Schlage ND96EU-LD-RHO-626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Schlage ND96EU fail secure or fail safe when the power drops?
As shipped in EU mode, the ND96EU is fail secure: powered, the outside lever is unlocked; lose power and the outside lever locks. The inside lever is always free for immediate egress either way. A switch on the chassis lets you flip the same lock to EL (fail safe), where the outside lever is locked while powered and either lever retracts the latch when power is removed. That switch is the reason you don't have to pick a different part number if the AHJ or the access control design changes on you.
2) What does the Vandlgard feature on the ND96 actually do?
With the outside lever locked, Vandlgard lets that lever rotate freely without engaging the latch. The force of someone hanging on or yanking down goes nowhere near the internal lock mechanism, so the lock survives abuse that would break a rigid lever. On a standard storeroom lock like the ND80, the locked outside lever stays rigid and takes the load. For schools, dorms, transit and other high-abuse openings, the ND96 is the one to spec.
3) The ND96EU is listed as less cylinder. What cylinder do I need to order with it?
Less cylinder means the lock ships without a cylinder so you can key it into your existing system. Schlage's standard is a 6-pin conventional cylinder in the patented Everest 29 S123 keyway, and FSIC, SFIC and 7-pin SL formats are available. Less cylinder versions are also made to accept non-Schlage cylinders from Best, Corbin Russwin, Medeco, Sargent and Yale, which is what makes this workable for a facility already standardized on another keyway. Open, restricted, Primus, master keying and construction keying are all supported.
4) What power supply do I need for a Schlage ND96EU electrified lever lock?
It autodetects 12 or 24V DC at +/- 10 percent, so one lock works on either bus. Budget 0.23 amps maximum inrush and 0.01 amps holding per lock when you size the supply. Request to exit is modular and switches 3A at 125VAC or 2A at 30VDC.
5) What else does ZenSupply carry if I need an electrified fail safe cylindrical lever lock instead?
The Corbin Russwin CL33903 is the closest cross-brand alternative we stock: a Grade 1 electrified cylindrical lever lock in fail safe, available on 12VAC/DC with the NZ lever and D rose, for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors. The difference to weigh is that the Schlage ND96EU switches between fail safe and fail secure at the chassis, so you are not committing to one mode at the order stage. If you don't need electrification at all, the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors.
6) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to the Schlage ND96EU electrified cylindrical lever lock?
The nearest peer is the Corbin Russwin CL33903, a Grade 1 electrified cylindrical lever lock in the CL33900 series rated for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors and supplied as a fail safe lever at 12VAC/DC. The ND96EU is a Grade 1 cylindrical storeroom lock whose chassis switch lets you select fail safe or fail secure in the field and which auto-detects 12 or 24V DC, so it covers both operating modes from one part number while the CL33903 is ordered as a fail safe device at a single voltage.
7) If the opening does not need electrified control, what Grade 1 storeroom lever should be used instead of the ND96EU?
If no power is run to the door, a mechanical storeroom lever is the simpler route. Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever lockset with a deadlocking latchbolt for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch, and Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom cylindrical lock with a Withnell lever for doors 1-3/8 to 2 inch. The ND96EU is the choice when the outside lever has to be released or secured by the access control system, since it is wired for 12-24V DC operation.
8) Can I add request-to-exit to an ND96EU later, or do I have to order it now?
Either. Specify RX under special options and it comes configured from the factory, or add it in the field afterward with kit part N123-062. Worth noting on ordering: if you do not call out EL or EU on the order, it defaults to the EU (fail secure) setting, though the chassis switch lets you change that on site.
9) Is the ND96EU tough enough for a high school or dorm corridor?
That's the application it's built for. Schlage rates the ND series at a minimum 3,100 in-lbs of lever torque (2.6x the BHMA requirement), 1,600 lbs of offset lever pull, and 100 vertical impacts, with near-zero droop or wobble past 16 million cycles and no set screws or O-rings holding the lever on. It exceeds BHMA A156.2 for Grade 1 cylindrical locks and BHMA A156.25 for indoor electrified locks. Add Vandlgard on top and the locked lever spins instead of breaking.
10) What's the difference between the ND96EU and the ND80EU storeroom lock?
Function is the same on both: key cylinder and lever outside, lever inside, deadlatch, key retracts the latch but never changes the locked state, inside lever always free. The ND96 adds Vandlgard, so the locked outside lever free-spins instead of resisting. If the opening sees abuse, go ND96. If it doesn't, the ND80EU does the same access control job.
11) I need a Grade 1 vandal resistant lever but not a keyed or electrified one. What should I look at?
For a non-keyed opening, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant cylindrical lever in passage/closet function, fire rated, for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors. The Falcon K101 is another Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever, fire rated, with a wider 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range. Neither takes a cylinder, so use one where you just need latching and abuse resistance rather than access control.
12) Is the Corbin Russwin CL3110 a substitute for the ND96EU on a secured door?
No. The CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant cylindrical lever lock, but its function is passage/closet, meaning both levers always retract the latch and there is no key control. The ND96EU is a keyed single-cylinder storeroom lock whose outside lever stays rigid unless keyed or electrically released, so the CL3110 suits only an opening that is never meant to lock.
13) For a classroom or institutional door rather than a storeroom, what alternatives exist to the ND96EU?
Function is what changes. Dexter C1000 is offered as a Grade 1 classroom lever and a Grade 1 classroom security lever, both clutching and keyed for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and as a Grade 1 asylum lock for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. Cal-Royal AG03 is a classroom lever in the AG series with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway and 2-3/4 inch backset. The ND96EU handles the storeroom function, where the outside lever is always secure and the key only retracts the latch.
14) Can a keypad leverset replace the ND96EU for controlled access?
They control access by different means. 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 to 2 inch; both grant entry at the door by code and need no wiring to a panel. The ND96EU is a Grade 1 lock wired to 12-24V DC so the outside lever is released or secured by a central access control system, with key override in the outside lever.
15) The ND96EU is supplied less cylinder - what cylinder options matter when comparing it to other brands?
The ND96EU accepts FSIC, SFIC and 7-pin SL formats plus less cylinder builds made to fit non-Schlage cylinders from Best, Corbin Russwin, Medeco, Sargent and Yale, so an existing masterkey system usually carries over. Going the other direction, the Accentra 107S is a Schlage cylinder adapter kit for Yale hardware, which is what lets Schlage-keyed cylinders serve a Yale lock. Cal-Royal AG05 and AG03 are furnished with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway.
16) What heavy duty Grade 1 lever locks are comparable to the ND96EU for non-keyed openings on the same project?
For the passage doors on the same job, Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage cylindrical lock with non-handed levers, fire rated, for doors 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch, and Falcon T101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever with pressure release technology. Design Hardware X75 is a Grade 1 passage lever for 1-3/4 inch doors. All are non-keyed, so the ND96EU remains the part for the openings that need keyed storeroom control plus electrified lock/unlock.
17) Will a BEST 9K dummy trim work in place of an ND96EU on a pair of doors?
Only on the inactive leaf. The BEST 9K 1DT is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy trim with no latch and no chassis, so it is pull-only. The ND96EU is a keyed Grade 1 storeroom lock with a deadlatch and electrified outside lever, so the active leaf still needs the ND96EU or another latching lock.
