Commercial Door Hardware

Commercial Door Hardware

Commercial door hardware is designed for openings that require specific lock functions, door preparations, durability levels, keying options, or other project requirements beyond a typical residential lockset. The current Coastal Hardware Store collection features Schlage commercial hardware, including cylindrical lever locks, mortise locks and lock bodies, single-cylinder deadbolts, exit-device trim, and related components.

Current products span Schlage's ND, ALX, S, L, and B Series hardware, with functions that include passage, privacy, entry, office, classroom, storeroom, single-cylinder deadbolt, exit trim, and replacement lock-body applications. Because commercial openings can have project-specific code, fire-rating, accessibility, keying, and door-preparation requirements, shoppers should verify the specifications of the exact product rather than assuming every item in the collection carries the same certifications.

Why Choose Commercial Door Hardware?

Commercial lock hardware is available in different performance grades, functions, chassis types, and keying configurations so each opening can be specified according to how the door is used. The current Schlage assortment provides both complete locksets and individual components for new installations, replacement work, and system maintenance.

• Grade 1 and Grade 2 options: The current assortment includes Schlage ND Series Grade 1 cylindrical locks, ALX Series Grade 2 cylindrical locks, L Series Grade 1 mortise hardware, and Grade 1 and Grade 2 deadbolts.
• Multiple commercial functions: Current lock functions include passage, privacy, keyed entry, office entry, classroom, storeroom, and single-cylinder deadbolt configurations.
• Cylindrical and mortise hardware: Shoppers can compare cylindrical lever locksets with larger mortise-lock systems depending on the door preparation and project requirements.
• Replacement components: The collection includes individual mortise lock bodies and related parts for projects where a complete decorative lockset is not required.
• Keyed commercial options: Several products support commercial cylinder and keying configurations. Cylinder format and keyway vary by product, so confirm the exact specification when matching an existing key system.
• Schlage product families: The current collection allows different Schlage series to be selected according to function, grade, preparation, and project requirements rather than relying on one lock type for every opening.

Types of Commercial Door Hardware Available

Commercial Cylindrical Door Levers

Cylindrical lever locks use a chassis installed through a bored door preparation and are represented heavily in the current collection. Schlage ND, ALX, and S Series lever products are currently available, with several lever styles and functions shown.

The ND Series is Schlage's Grade 1 cylindrical lock family and is represented in the current collection by styles such as Sparta, Rhodes, and Athens. The ALX Series provides Grade 2 cylindrical hardware and is currently available in several functions including passage, privacy, keyed entry, storeroom, classroom, and office entry. Confirm the selected series and function before ordering because door preparation, thickness range, cylinder configuration, and other details vary.

Commercial Mortise Locks & Lock Bodies

Mortise locks use a larger lock case recessed into the edge of the door. The current assortment includes Schlage L Series passage mortise locksets as well as replacement mortise lock bodies for specific L Series functions.

Schlage identifies its L Series as Grade 1 mortise hardware. Mortise locks require a substantially different door preparation from cylindrical locks, so they should not be considered interchangeable simply because the visible lever or finish looks similar.

Commercial Deadbolts

The current collection includes Schlage single-cylinder commercial deadbolts in Grade 1 and Grade 2 configurations. A single-cylinder deadbolt is operated by a key from the exterior and a turn piece from the interior. Cylinder type, backset, door-thickness range, and grade should be checked for the exact product.

For example, the current Grade 1 B660R listing uses a single-cylinder configuration and supports an adjustable 2-3/8-inch or 2-3/4-inch backset. Other deadbolts may use different specifications, so do not apply one model's preparation requirements to the entire category.

Commercial Privacy, Classroom & Storeroom Locks

Commercial lock functions describe how the inside and outside levers behave rather than simply the style of the hardware. Current products include privacy, classroom, storeroom, office-entry, and general keyed-entry functions.

On the current Schlage ALX configurations, for example, a storeroom function keeps the outside lever fixed and requires a key for exterior entry while the inside lever remains operable for exit. A classroom function allows the outside lever to be locked or unlocked by key while the inside lever remains unlocked. Always select function according to the opening's intended operation and project specification.

Commercial Lock Bodies, Trim & Components

Not every product in this collection is a complete lockset. The current assortment also includes mortise lock bodies, an electrified lock body, exit-device lever trim, and a cylinder-cap removal tool. These components are intended for specific Schlage systems and should be ordered by exact series, function, part number, and compatibility rather than appearance.

How to Choose the Right Commercial Door Hardware

Start with the door schedule or opening requirements, then identify the appropriate lock type, grade, function, preparation, cylinder, finish, and any required certifications. Commercial hardware should be specified by the needs of the individual opening rather than by style alone.

• Identify the lock type: Determine whether the door is prepared for a cylindrical lock, mortise lock, deadbolt, exit-device trim, or another system.
• Choose the correct function: Passage, privacy, entry, office, classroom, and storeroom functions behave differently. Match the function to how occupants need to enter, exit, and secure the space.
• Determine the required grade: Current products include Grade 1 and Grade 2 hardware. Use the project specification and manufacturer's certification for the exact product rather than assuming every commercial opening requires the same grade.
• Confirm door preparation: Check bore dimensions, mortise preparation, door thickness, backset, strike preparation, handing, and any additional holes required by the selected lock.
• Review cylinder and keying requirements: Commercial key systems may use conventional cylinders, interchangeable cores, restricted keyways, or project-specific keying. Verify the cylinder format and keyway before ordering.
• Verify certifications for the opening: Fire rating, accessibility, windstorm, life-safety, and other certifications are product- and application-specific. Confirm the required listings for the exact opening rather than treating the entire collection as universally compliant.

Grades, Materials & Finishes

The current collection contains both Grade 1 and Grade 2 Schlage commercial hardware. Schlage identifies the ND Series as Grade 1 cylindrical hardware, the ALX Series as Grade 2 cylindrical hardware, and the L Series as Grade 1 mortise hardware. Commercial grade is based on the applicable product's tested performance under ANSI/BHMA standards; it should not be interpreted as a guarantee that a product meets every requirement of a particular building or opening.

Materials and construction vary by product family and component. For example, the current ALX Series listing identifies a steel, zinc-dichromated chassis, while decorative lever and trim construction can differ by series. Mortise bodies, cylinders, deadbolts, and individual replacement parts should each be evaluated according to their own manufacturer specifications.

The current Coastal Hardware collection is predominantly shown in Satin Chrome, with Satin Nickel represented on select products and some internal components listed without a decorative finish. Finish availability is much narrower on the current collection than Schlage's complete commercial catalog, so confirm the available finish on the exact SKU before planning a larger hardware package.

Featured Commercial Door Hardware Brand

The current Commercial Door Hardware collection is represented exclusively by Schlage. Several Schlage commercial product families are included, allowing shoppers to compare different grades, chassis types, functions, and components.

• Schlage ND Series: Grade 1 cylindrical locks represented in the collection by several lever styles and passage, privacy, keyed, and specialized commercial functions.
• Schlage ALX Series: Grade 2 modular cylindrical locks with current options spanning passage, privacy, entry, office, classroom, and storeroom functions.
• Schlage S Series: Additional cylindrical lever locksets represented by passage configurations in several lever designs.
• Schlage L Series: Grade 1 mortise hardware represented by complete passage locksets, standard lock bodies, and an electrified lock-body option.
• Schlage Commercial Deadbolts: Current products include both Grade 1 and Grade 2 single-cylinder deadbolt options.

Installation & Compatibility

Commercial lock installation requirements differ substantially by series. Before ordering, compare the exact product with the existing or specified door preparation, including door thickness, backset, bore or mortise dimensions, strike, cylinder format, handing, and any additional fastener or through-bolt locations.

For example, the current Schlage ND Sparta lockset uses a 2-3/4-inch backset and is listed for doors from 1-5/8 inches to 2-1/8 inches thick. The current ALX Saturn configuration uses a 2-3/4-inch backset and is listed for doors from 1-3/8 inches to 1-3/4 inches thick. These differences illustrate why specifications should be checked by series rather than generalized across commercial lever locks.

Mortise hardware requires its own preparation. The current Schlage L9080 replacement lock body, for example, specifies a 2-3/4-inch backset and a 1-3/4-inch door thickness. A mortise body should be matched to the appropriate lock function, trim, door preparation, and Schlage system before installation.

Shipping & Warranty Information

• Shipping: Current commercial products generally list an estimated fulfillment time of 5-7 business days. Coastal Hardware Store offers free standard ground shipping on orders of $100 or more within the contiguous 48 states and District of Columbia. Keying options can add processing time.

• Warranty: Schlage commercial warranty periods and exclusions vary by product family and component. Review the current Schlage commercial warranty and the individual product documentation for the exact lock, deadbolt, component, or electrified hardware being specified.

Frequently Asked Questions About Commercial Door Hardware

What is the difference between Grade 1 and Grade 2 commercial door locks?

Grade 1 and Grade 2 refer to different performance classifications under applicable ANSI/BHMA standards. Grade 1 represents a higher performance classification than Grade 2. The current collection includes both, such as Schlage ND Series Grade 1 cylindrical locks and ALX Series Grade 2 cylindrical locks. Select the grade required by the project specification and opening rather than assuming one grade is appropriate everywhere.

What is the difference between a cylindrical lock and a mortise lock?

A cylindrical lock installs primarily through bored holes in the face and edge of the door, while a mortise lock uses a larger lock case recessed into a pocket cut into the door edge. They use different preparations and should not be considered direct replacements for one another without verifying the door.

What commercial lock functions are available?

The current collection includes passage, privacy, keyed entry, office entry, classroom, storeroom, single-cylinder deadbolt, exit-trim, and other specialized functions or components. Function determines how the inside and outside hardware operate, so verify the intended use of the opening before ordering.

Are all products in this collection fire rated or ADA compliant?

No. Certifications and compliance depend on the exact product, configuration, trim, door assembly, and application. Some Schlage commercial product families have specific accessibility or fire-door listings, but those claims should be verified for the exact SKU and opening rather than applied to every item in the collection.

Can commercial door locks be keyed alike?

Many commercial lock systems support keying options, but compatibility depends on the cylinder type, core format, keyway, and lock series. If several openings need to operate from the same key or fit into an existing master-key system, confirm the required keying information before placing the order.

What finish is most common in the current Commercial Door Hardware collection?

Satin Chrome is the predominant finish currently shown in this collection. Satin Nickel is also represented on select products, while some internal lock bodies and components do not have a decorative finish specified. Always confirm the available finish for the exact product.
