Schlage A25ORB626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the Schlage A25 exit lock actually do, and when would I use one?
The A25 is an exit-only function: blank plate on the outside, no keyhole and no way to operate the lock from that side, with the inside knob always unlocked for immediate egress. Use it where you want people to get out but never in through that door, like a stairwell discharge, a rear service exit, or a pool gate side of a building. If someone needs to get back in through that opening, this is the wrong function and you want a keyed A Series function such as the A53 entrance or A80 storeroom instead.
2) Is there any outside trim on the A25, or is it a blank plate only?
Blank plate outside, and that is the whole point of the function. There is no outside knob and nothing to grip, so the door cannot be pulled or operated from the exterior side. Buyers expecting a knob on both faces with a free-turning outside knob want the A10 passage function, not the A25.
3) Can I put a Schlage A25 exit lock on a fire rated door?
The A Series is UL listed for 3-hour fire doors, and UL/cUL listed for A label single doors up to 4 feet by 8 feet. The letter F and the UL symbol stamped on the latch front are what tell you the assembly in front of you is the listed one. The A Series also meets ADA requirements and the Buy American Act, which matters on government and institutional work.
4) Is a Grade 2 knob lock heavy duty enough for a commercial exit door?
The A25 is rated Heavy Duty and is tested and certified under ANSI/BHMA A156.2, Series 4000 Grade 2, with Schlage stating it exceeds Grade 2 requirements. Construction is zinc and steel. It is catalogued for commercial use. If your spec sheet calls for Grade 1 on that opening, the A25 will not satisfy it and you want a Grade 1 cylindrical knob such as the Falcon X101 or the Corbin Russwin CK4310.
5) I need a knob lock with no key on the outside. What is the difference between an exit lock and a passage lock?
Both are non-keyed, but they behave differently on the outside face. A passage function like the A10 has an operating knob on both sides, so the door opens freely from either direction. The A25 exit lock has a blank plate outside, so the door only opens from the inside, where the knob is always unlocked. Choose exit when the door should never be entered from the outside; choose passage when it is just a hall or closet door and you want free travel both ways. Passage alternatives include the Corbin Russwin CK4410 and the Dexter C2000 passage knob, both Grade 2.
6) Can I add a key cylinder to a Schlage A25 later if I need outside access?
No. The A25 is a non-keyed function with a blank outside plate, and there is no cylinder in it to key. If you want outside key access on that opening, order a keyed A Series function from the start, such as the A53 entrance, A70 classroom or A80 storeroom, all of which come standard in Everest 29 keyways and accept Schlage standard, removable core and high security cylinders. Primus XP 20-500 Series is the option for a UL437 listed cylinder.
7) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to a Schlage A25 exit lock?
The A25 is an exit-function cylindrical knob lock with a blank plate outside and an inside knob that is always unlocked for immediate egress. No other knob lock in the commercial knobset range carries that exit function, so the nearest behavioral match is a passage knob, where both knobs always retract the latch: the Corbin Russwin CK4410 is a Grade 2 non-keyed passage/closet cylindrical knob lock, and the Arrow MK01 is a Grade 2 non-keyed passage knob lock. The difference that matters is the outside trim - the A25 puts a blank plate on the pull side, while a passage set puts a working knob there.
8) What should I use instead of a Schlage A25 if the opening needs to be locked from the outside?
The A25 has a blank plate outside, so there is nothing on the pull side to key or lock - it is egress only. For an opening that must secure from the corridor side, a keyed storeroom or entrance knob lock is the right family: the Sargent 6G04 is a Grade 2 storeroom/closet knob lock with a single cylinder, the Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 storeroom/closet single cylinder knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the BEST 8K Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty entrance function single cylinder knob lock. Storeroom keeps the outside knob locked at all times; entrance allows the outside knob to be left unlocked.
9) Is a dummy knob a substitute for a Schlage A25 exit lock?
No. A dummy knob is fixed trim with no latch operation, while the A25 inside knob is always unlocked and retracts the latch for immediate egress. Dummy trim options include the BEST 6K Series single dummy, the Cal-Royal BA40 dummy knob cylindrical lock, and the Bravura Biloxi dummy knobset. Those suit an inactive leaf or a closet door that is held by a catch, not an opening that has to be opened from the inside.
10) Does the Schlage A25 need to be handed when I order it?
No handing to specify. The A25 is non-handed, so one part number covers left and right hand doors, and the spring latch is field reversible on a bored lock like this. For a property manager buying several at once, that means you order by finish and knob design only.
11) Which knob designs and finishes does the Schlage A25 come in?
Five knob designs, Georgian, Levon, Orbit, Plymouth and Tulip, each offered in six finishes: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 609 antique brass, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 625 bright chrome and 626 satin chrome. If you are matching an exit door to existing openings in the building, pick the knob design already on those doors first, then the finish, because every design is offered across the same six finishes.
12) I am standardizing knob hardware across a building. Can I use A Series on both the exit doors and the offices?
That is what the A Series is built for. The same five knob designs and six finishes carry across the family, and the range covers eleven standard functions, including A10 passage, A25 exit, A30 patio, A40 privacy and A170 dummy trim on the non-keyed side, plus A53 entrance, A70 classroom, A79 communicating, A80 storeroom and A85 faculty restroom on the keyed side. Spec one design and finish, then vary the function door by door, and every opening looks the same from the corridor.
13) What is the closest alternative to a Schlage A25 if I want a Grade 1 knob lock on that opening?
Nothing in the Grade 1 range is an exit function, so it is not a straight swap. For Grade 1 cylindrical knobs, the Falcon X101 is a heavy duty passage knobset with interchangeable core covering 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 is a Grade 1 passage knob for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, and the Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 storeroom knob on a 2-3/4 inch backset. A storeroom function is the usual substitute when you want the outside secured but still keyed; if the outside must stay blank with no cylinder at all, the A25 is the function you want.
14) What is a lighter-duty knob lock than the Schlage A25 for an interior door that just needs to latch?
The A25 is a heavy duty commercial Grade 2 knob lock. Where an interior door only needs a latch and both knobs free, lighter options include the Falcon W101, a medium duty Grade 2 cylindrical knob lock in passage/closet function with a 2-3/4 inch backset, the Dexter C2000 passage ball knob, a Grade 2 non-keyed passage lock for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Pamex FTF Baron passage knobset at Grade 3 for the same door thickness range.
15) The Schlage A25 has no privacy locking - what knob lock do I use for a restroom or bedroom door?
The A25 inside knob is always unlocked, with no privacy button, so it cannot secure a restroom or bedroom. For that function the Dexter C2000 privacy ball knob is a Grade 2 non-keyed privacy lock for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Pamex FTF Baron privacy knobset is Grade 3 over the same range, and the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. Cal-Royal BER20 is a Grade 3 privacy knob lock with brass trim.
16) Is the Schlage F500 residential combo pack the same thing as the Schlage A25?
They are different lines. The A25 is a commercial Grade 2 cylindrical knob lock in exit function, non-handed, with a blank outside plate. The Schlage Residential F500 is an F Series combo pack pairing a Plymouth and Georgian knob with adjustable backsets and dual strikes for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. The knob designs overlap - Plymouth and Georgian are both offered on the A25 - but the F Series chassis is a residential platform, not the commercial A Series.
17) Can I use a Sargent 28C knob trim or a Sargent 78-2875 outside knob in place of a Schlage A25?
No. Both are exit device trim, not standalone locks. The Sargent 28C-KNOB is exit device trim with knob and rose in entrance function for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the 78-2875 is an outside knob only from the 7800 Series. They mount to a panic device on the door. The A25 is a self-contained cylindrical knob lock with its own latch and strike.
18) Is the Schlage A25 an electronic or access control lock?
Purely mechanical. There is nothing to wire, no power, no credential reader, and no request-to-exit signal. It is a bored cylindrical lock with a knob inside and a blank plate outside. If your project needs the exit door monitored or tied into access control, the A25 will not do that part of the job on its own.
19) Can I use a Schlage A25 on a house or apartment interior door?
You can, but it is built and priced as commercial hardware, rated Heavy Duty and certified to ANSI/BHMA Grade 2, and the blank outside plate makes it wrong for most interior residential doors. For residential interiors, a Grade 3 or residential knobset like the Kwikset 200P passage or the Pamex FTF passage suits better, and the Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob combo pack covers 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors with adjustable backsets and dual strikes.
20) I want a keyless knob lock that still allows free egress - what alternatives are there to the Schlage A25?
The A25 is non-keyed and lets anyone leave from the inside, but it offers no access control on the outside at all. The Lockey 3830 is a mechanical keyless combination knob lock with auto-locking passage function for 1 3/16 to 2 inch doors, which controls who gets in by code rather than by key. Both are non-electronic mechanical products.
21) What knob lock matches the Schlage A25 for a decorative residential-look opening?
The A25 comes in Georgian, Levon, Orbit, Plymouth and Tulip knob designs in finishes including bright brass, satin brass, antique brass, oil rubbed bronze, bright chrome and satin chrome. Where a decorative solid brass look is wanted instead, the Omnia 434/PA is a traditional egg-shaped knob latchset in solid brass with a 3 inch projection, the Baldwin Estate 5011 Colonial is a passage knob with a 5058 rose, and the Emtek Porcelain knobset pairs two knobs with a threaded rod. Those are passage and dummy styles rather than exit function.
22) Does the Arrow RK01 work where a Schlage A25 was specified?
The Arrow RK01 is a Grade 2 non-keyed ball knob cylindrical lock in passage function for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, matching the A25 on grade and on the non-keyed cylindrical knob format. The functional difference is the outside: the A25 carries a blank plate on the pull side while the RK01 puts an operating ball knob there. Specify the door thickness when ordering the A25.
