Allegion C1000-STRM-R-626-KDC Grade 1 Lock Chrome 2 3/4″ Backset

Description

Product Overview

The Allegion C1000-STRM-R-626-KDC is a Grade 1 storeroom cylindrical lock engineered for demanding commercial environments. Its satin chrome finish not only adds a sleek, professional appearance but also offers corrosion resistance, extending the life of the hardware even in high‑traffic areas. The lock features a 2 3⁄4″ backset, which aligns with standard door preparations, simplifying installation and reducing the need for additional modifications.

Designed to meet UL 3‑hour fire rating requirements, this lock provides an added layer of safety for facilities that must comply with strict fire protection standards. The lock is UL listed, ensuring that it has passed rigorous testing for durability, resistance to forced entry, and reliable operation under fire conditions. Its robust construction incorporates hardened steel components that resist tampering and wear, delivering long‑term performance.

Compatibility is a key strength of the C1000 series. The lock accepts 6‑pin cylinders, with options for keyed different or keyed alike configurations, allowing businesses to tailor security solutions to their specific access control strategies. The strike plate dimensions—1 1⁄8″ × 2 3⁄4″ backset and ANSI 1 1⁄4″ × 4 7⁄8″ curved‑lip strike—ensure a secure fit on a wide range of door thicknesses, from 1 3⁄8″ to 2″.

Beyond its technical specifications, the lock’s design emphasizes ease of use. The ergonomic lever provides smooth operation, while the clutch function (available in keyed variants) offers additional flexibility for high‑security applications. Whether installed in a warehouse, a server room, or a retail back‑of‑house area, the C1000‑STRM‑R‑626‑KDC delivers reliable, repeatable performance that meets the expectations of facility managers and security professionals alike.

Usage

This lock is ideally suited for commercial door applications where security, durability, and fire resistance are paramount. Typical installations include storerooms, utility closets, equipment rooms, and any interior door that requires a high‑grade security solution. Its satin chrome finish blends seamlessly with modern architectural aesthetics, making it a popular choice for both new construction and retrofit projects.

In environments such as manufacturing plants, the lock’s resistance to dust, moisture, and frequent use ensures consistent performance over years of operation. The 2 3⁄4″ backset aligns with standard door preparations, allowing installers to replace existing hardware without extensive carpentry work. For businesses that manage multiple access points, the ability to configure keyed different or keyed alike cylinders simplifies key management and reduces the risk of unauthorized duplication.

Facilities that must adhere to fire safety codes benefit from the lock’s UL 3‑hour rating, providing peace of mind that the door will remain secure during a fire event while still allowing safe egress. The lock’s clutch function further enhances security in high‑risk areas, offering an additional layer of protection without compromising ease of use for authorized personnel.
