About this item
The Schlage ND80JD SPA is a Grade 1 commercial cylindrical storeroom lever lock from the Schlage ND Series, Schlage's flagship and most-specified Grade 1 cylindrical lever platform in the U.S. commercial spec market, configured with the contemporary Sparta lever style and prepped for Small Format Interchangeable Core. The full part number breaks down as: ND (ND Series Grade 1 cylindrical lever), 80 (function digit for storeroom ANSI F86), J (J trim configuration), D (D rose), SPA (Sparta lever style), with FSIC prep less core. This SKU ships less core so the lock body can be pinned to your existing facility SFIC keying system. The ND80 carries ANSI function F86 (storeroom): the latchbolt is operated by key in the outside lever or by the inside lever; the outside lever is always rigid and cannot be unlocked by push button or thumbturn. Meets and exceeds ANSI/BHMA A156.2 Series 4000 Grade 1. UL/cUL Listed for 3-hour A-label fire-rated single doors. Schlage is part of the Allegion family of brands. SKU ND80JD SPA.

Schlage Sparta Lever: Where It Fits in the Schlage ND Lever Catalog
Schlage's ND Series ships in three core lever styles: Rhodes (RHO), Sparta (SPA), and Athens (ATH). All three lever styles use the same ND chassis architecture, meet the same ANSI Grade 1 certification, and conform to ADA accessibility requirements. The choice between them is purely visual. Sparta (SPA) is the contemporary straight lever profile with a clean horizontal extension and minimal sweep, the most-specified ND lever style in modern commercial construction, corporate office, and contemporary architectural projects where clean horizontal lines match the surrounding aesthetic. Rhodes (RHO) is the traditional curved lever profile with a slight upward sweep, the most-specified ND lever style in legacy institutional construction (hospitals, universities, government buildings) where existing inventory uses Rhodes. Athens (ATH) is the fuller-curved traditional lever profile with a more pronounced sweep, specified on traditional-aesthetic projects. If your spec calls for contemporary clean lines, Sparta is correct. If your spec calls for matching existing institutional Schlage inventory, see the Rhodes (RHO) variant. Verify your spec's lever style designation before ordering.
ANSI F86 Storeroom Function Explained
Function code F86 is the standard ANSI storeroom function and one of the most-specified ANSI cylindrical configurations on commercial buildings. The latchbolt retracts by key in the outside lever or by the inside lever. The outside lever is always rigid (cannot be turned without a key) and cannot be unlocked by push button or thumbturn. The inside lever is always free for unobstructed egress, which is what makes this an ANSI Grade 1 code-compliant storeroom function. Specify F86 on supply and storage closets, IT and server rooms, mechanical and electrical rooms, drug storage in healthcare facilities, evidence rooms, school equipment closets, hospital storerooms, government storerooms, and any commercial opening where every entry needs a key and every exit needs to be free.
What "FSIC Prep Less Core" Means
FSIC stands for Full Size Interchangeable Core Schlage's terminology for what the broader industry calls Small Format Interchangeable Core (SFIC), the 6 or 7-pin core format compatible with BEST, Falcon, Arrow, and other major manufacturers. "Less Core" means the lock body ships ready to accept an SFIC core but the core itself is purchased separately so the lock can be pinned to your existing facility SFIC keyway. This is the right purchase model for any facility already running BEST, Falcon, or Arrow SFIC keying because the ND80 chassis integrates directly without keyway migration. For Schlage Large Format IC cores, see the LFIC-prep variant of the ND80. For matching SFIC cores, see Schlage IC Cores.
