Schlage 47258057 ALX Series Closed Lever, Latitude Lever Design

Lever trim only. The 47258057 is a replacement lever in the Latitude (LAT) design for Schlage ALX Series cylindrical locks, so what you get is the handle, not the chassis, the latch or a cylinder. Order it when a lever has snapped off, gone loose beyond adjustment, or you're changing the look of an opening whose lock body is still good. If the lock itself is worn out or the latch is what's failing, a lever won't fix it and you need a complete ALX lockset.

Built for the ALX chassis. Schlage designates the 47258057 as ALX Series trim, and cylindrical lock trim is matched to the lock body it mounts on, so a lever from a different Schlage line is not an interchange. Before ordering, pull one lever off and look for the series designation on the chassis or the inside of the rose, or check the door schedule if the building has one. Get the series right and the finish code right and you're ordering the same part twice with confidence across a run of doors.

Commercial. ALX is Schlage's commercial cylindrical lock line and the 47258057 is the lever trim that goes on it, so this is a corridor, office and back-of-house handle rather than a residential replacement lever. That also means the mounting is the ALX chassis pattern, not a residential lock, which is worth confirming before you buy for a mixed portfolio where some doors carry light-duty hardware.

Six finishes: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black, 626 satin chrome and 643E aged bronze. Match by the BHMA number, not the colour name. 626 satin chrome is the standard commercial finish on most office and institutional openings, and it sits close enough to 619 satin nickel in a hallway that people order the wrong one from a photo. If the existing hardware is unmarked, take a lever off a door you're keeping and compare it to the new one under the same light before you commit to a building-wide quantity.

Closed describes the return: the free end of the lever curves back and meets the rose instead of stopping in open air. It matters in corridors, stairwells and patient or resident areas because an open-ended lever catches bag straps, cart handles and clothing as people pass. The 47258057 is the Latitude (LAT) design in that closed form, so if the existing levers on the floor return to the rose, this keeps the same behaviour on the door you're repairing.

No. The 47258057 is trim, so it does nothing for a latch that isn't holding. That's a latch or chassis fault and it needs a latch or a complete lock. For dormitory-function openings, ZenSupply carries the Cal-Royal CALDOR238 (CAL101) dormitory dead latch as a latch unit rather than a handle. Keep the ALX Latitude lever on the list for the doors where the handle itself is damaged, loose or being changed for finish, and handle the latching doors separately.

No - those are two different parts of the lock. The Schlage 47258057 is the lever itself, the Latitude design handle for an ALX Series lock, offered in finishes including 626 Satin Chrome, 619 Satin Nickel and 622 Matte Black. The Cal-Royal CALDOR238 is a dead latch with a dormitory function - the latching mechanism that goes into the door edge. If the handle on the door is broken, bent or being changed to Latitude, the 47258057 is the part; the CALDOR238 does nothing about the handle.

The 47258057 is lock trim - the Latitude lever that mounts on the outside of the chassis. Function is set by the lock body and latch behind it, not by the lever, so the 47258057 is ordered to match the handle design and finish on an ALX Series lock rather than to establish how the opening latches. Where the function itself is what is being specified, the Cal-Royal CALDOR238 is a dormitory function dead latch. On a door that already has the right function and only needs the handle changed or replaced, the 47258057 is the piece being bought.
