Schlage ND Series Locks & Grade 1 Commercial Levers

Schlage ND Series locks bring Grade 1 cylindrical lock performance to busy commercial doors. Shop commercial door levers for schools, offices, healthcare facilities and other high-use buildings, with passage, privacy, classroom and storeroom functions to suit different openings. This collection includes familiar ND models such as ND10, ND40S, ND70 and ND80, plus selected Vandlgard configurations.

Start with the function your door needs, then compare lever design, finish and cylinder or core requirements. Options in this collection include Rhodes, Sparta, Athens, Omega and Tubular styles. Check each product's full model number and specifications before ordering, especially when replacing existing hardware or matching a building's key system.

Choosing Schlage ND Series Commercial Locks

Choose a Schlage ND Series lock by how the opening needs to operate, not just by the shape of the lever. ND10 passage hardware suits doors that do not need locking, while ND40 and ND40S identify privacy applications. ND70 is a classroom function and ND80 is a storeroom function. These choices serve different access needs, so compare the operating description on the product page before selecting a finish. A familiar lever design alone does not identify the correct lock function.

For customers searching for a Schlage ND80 lockset, the key distinction is the storeroom function: the outside lever stays locked and a key retracts the latch, while the inside lever allows exit. Classroom ND70 hardware lets a key lock or unlock the outside lever. ND96 adds Vandlgard to a storeroom configuration; this feature lets the locked outside lever move freely to help resist damage from excessive force. Match the complete model designation to your requirements, since additional letters identify configuration details.

Next, compare the cylinder and core configuration with the key system already used in your building. Our listings include models supplied less cylinder, less core or less small-format core, as well as other keyed configurations. Those descriptions matter when planning a replacement: do not assume every lever set includes a ready-to-use cylinder and keys. Record the existing lock model, cylinder format and keyway requirements before ordering, and check the selected product's included components. This helps avoid purchasing a visually similar set that needs different keying hardware.

Lever style and finish complete the selection. Rhodes, Sparta, Athens, Omega and Tubular designs appear in this collection, with choices varying by model. Compare the finish selected on the product page with nearby door hardware, and verify the backset, door thickness, latch and strike requirements for the opening. For a multi-door project, make a list of the function and configuration needed at each door before grouping items by appearance. Keep replacement parts separate from complete locksets when preparing your order.

Use the official Schlage ND Series catalog to compare function descriptions and ordering details alongside individual product specifications. The catalog covers the broader ND family, so confirm that the exact configuration you need is offered on the selected product page.
