Schlage Commercial ND Series Cylindrical Locks
ND is the heavy duty cylindrical lever line for standard bored doors. The function is in the number: ND40 is bath and bedroom privacy, ND53 entrance, ND60 vestibule, ND73 corridor, ND80 storeroom, ND85 faculty restroom, ND92 entrance Vandlgard and ND96 storeroom Vandlgard. Example: the ND53BD entrance lever. For a Grade 1 storeroom option outside ND, look at the PC80 Athens storeroom lock. Small parts such as the N523-065 cam pin fit ND60 and ND93.
Schlage Commercial L9000 Mortise Locks
L9000 is the mortise lock line for entrances, classrooms and institutional doors where a lock case in the door edge is preferred. Functions include L9010 passage, L9050 office and inner entry, L9060 apartment entrance, L9070 classroom, L9071 classroom security, L9080 storeroom and L9082 institution. Models with a deadbolt include L9453 entrance, L9456 corridor, L9466 utility room and L9473 dormitory. Compare examples with the L9070B classroom mortise lock and the L9050P office and inner entry lock; the L9000 comparison helps when replacing another mortise brand.
Schlage Commercial Deadbolts
Commercial deadbolts here are mortise deadlocks (L460, L464, L9460) and the B563 classroom deadbolt with an exterior locked or unlocked indicator. Pick single cylinder, or cylinder by thumbturn, based on how the door must work from the inside. The L464B mortise deadbolt accepts a small format IC core, and the B563 classroom deadbolt suits classrooms that need status shown from the hallway.
Electrified Schlage Commercial Locks
Electrified Schlage locks run on power from an access control system and are ordered fail safe (unlocks without power) or fail secure (stays locked without power). The L9090 to L9095 mortise locks and the ND80, ND96 cylindrical locks are listed with the mode in the title, for example the L9092EUB electrified mortise lock and the ND80JDEU electrified storeroom lock. Fail safe and fail secure rules differ by opening, so confirm with the code official before ordering.
Cylinders, IC Cores and Key Systems
Schlage cylinders come as mortise cylinders (20- and 30- numbers in 1-1/8" and 1-3/4"), rim cylinders, and conventional key-in-lever cylinders (21- and 23- numbers). Many locks accept an interchangeable core: SFIC is small format, LFIC is large format, and FSIC is full size. A "B" in a model such as L9453B means small format core, "J" means large format core and "L" means less cylinder. Read SFIC vs LFIC before choosing, and match the keyway to the existing system.
Lever Designs, Finishes and How to Find the Right Part Number
Lever and trim codes appear in every model number. Lever designs include Athens (ATH), Rhodes (RHO), Sparta (SPA), Omega (OME) and Tubular (TLR), with L Series numbered levers such as 01, 03, 06 and 12 and rose or escutcheon letters such as A, L and N (06A, 05N). Finish codes such as 626 (satin chrome) are part of the number; a BHMA finish code chart converts them.
To find the part number: start with the function name or the model printed on the existing lock, then add lever, rose, finish and core. Replacement trim for older ND locks is marked "Before February 2017" in the listing, so check the date range when matching trim. If the function is unclear, send us a photo and we will cross-reference it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Schlage Commercial make?
The Schlage Commercial line in our catalog includes ND cylindrical locks, PC80 and ALX cylindrical levers, L9000 mortise locks, electrified locks, mortise deadlocks, and cylinders, levers and trim parts. Each model number encodes the function, so a search by number is the fastest way to confirm what you need.
What is the difference between Schlage ND and L9000 locks?
ND locks are cylindrical and install in bored holes through the door face and edge. L9000 locks are mortise locks that sit in a pocket cut into the door edge. Choose ND for faster installs on bored doors, and L9000 for mortised doors, entrances and institutional use or when a built-in deadbolt is needed.
What does the function name on a Schlage Commercial lock mean?
The function describes how the lock operates from each side. Common examples are passage (always free), privacy (inside thumbturn), office or entrance (key locks the outside), classroom (outside locked by key, inside always free) and storeroom (outside always locked). Match the function to how the door is used, not just its location.
What do B, J and L mean in model numbers like L9453B and ND53BD?
In our listings, B means the lock accepts a small format interchangeable core, J means large format core, and L means less cylinder. Some models have no core note and ship with a conventional cylinder setup, so confirm on the product page. Cores are not interchangeable between formats.
Can I replace an older Schlage ND lever with a current one?
Often yes, but check the listing. Some trim parts are marked ND Series (Before February 2017), which signals a date range, and ND and ALX levers share some designs such as Rhodes. Send the existing model number or a photo and we will confirm which lever, rose and cylinder prep fit.
Are Schlage Commercial locks Grade 1?
It depends on the line. PC80 is listed as Grade 1 and the ALX series is listed as Grade 2. ND and L9000 are heavy duty commercial lines. Grades come from ANSI/BHMA standards, A156.2 for bored locks and A156.13 for mortise locks, so confirm the grade your spec requires on the product page.
Does Schlage Commercial make keypad or smart locks?
The electrified locks listed here, such as ND80, ND96 and L9090 to L9095, are controlled by an external reader or access system and are not keypad locks. For keypad or smart models, search by model number or ask for a quote and we will confirm what is available.
Should I choose fail safe or fail secure for an electrified Schlage lock?
Fail safe unlocks when power is lost and fail secure stays locked. Fail secure is common on storerooms and perimeter doors that keep egress through the lever, while fail safe suits openings that must release on power loss. Fire code and the authority having jurisdiction decide, so confirm before ordering.
How do I match a Schlage Commercial key or cylinder?
Match the keyway stamped on the key or cylinder (for example C123, E, EF or S123 in our listings), the cylinder type (mortise, rim, key-in-lever, or IC core) and the length for mortise cylinders, such as 1-1/8 or 1-3/4 inch. Send the existing part and we will match it.
