Schlage A501-721 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Which Schlage locks does the A501-721 cam plug fit?
The A501-721 cam plug is called out for the Schlage A70 and A79, plus the AL70. It is a Schlage A Series replacement component, so it goes back into one of those functions as a repair part. Match it to the function stamped on the lock you are working on, not just to the series.
2) Will the Schlage A501-721 cam plug work in other A Series functions besides the A70 and A79?
No. The A501-721 is specified for the A70, A79 and AL70 only. Other A Series functions use their own cam plug, because the cam arrangement follows the lock function rather than the series. If the lock in your hand is not one of those three, this is the wrong plug for it.
3) Do I need to match finish when ordering a Schlage A Series A501-721 cam plug?
Yes, and it is worth checking before you order. Schlage flags that many A Series parts are finish specific, so pull the finish off the lock you are repairing (or off the original order) and buy the plug to that finish. A plug that works mechanically but reads a different finish than the rest of the trim is a callback you do not want on a repair.
4) Can I keep the Schlage A501-721 on the shelf as a repair spare for a building running A70 knob locks?
That is exactly what it is for. The A501-721 is a Schlage replacement part covering the A70, A79 and AL70, all commercial-grade cylindrical locks, so if your openings are standardized on those functions it makes sense as a stocked spare rather than replacing whole locksets. Buy it against the functions you actually have on site; it does not cover the rest of the A Series line.
