Schlage A30D ORB 605 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does a patio lock actually do, and how is the Schlage A30 different from a privacy lock?

Patio function locks from the inside only. On the A30 you push the button in the inside knob to lock the outside knob; turning the inside knob or closing the door releases the button, so nobody gets locked out on the patio side. It is non-keyed, so there is no cylinder in it and nothing to key from outside. The function carries the ANSI/BHMA F77S designation. Use it on patio, balcony and rear doors that get secured from within. For a bathroom or bedroom, the A40 (ANSI F76) privacy function is the A Series version to order instead.

2) Will the Schlage A30 patio knob drop into the latch and strike prep already in my door and frame?

Standard backset on the A30 is 2-3/8 inches, with a 1 x 2-1/4 inch square corner latch front striking into a 1-1/8 x 2-3/4 inch square corner T-strike with box. That is the common wood-frame prep. If your frame is cut for the ANSI 4-7/8 inch strike instead, the 10-025 ANSI strike is the listed option. Schlage lists numerous latch and strike options across the A Series to suit other preps, so measure edge of door to center of bore and check your existing strike cutout before you order.

3) Is the Schlage A30 handed? I have both left and right hand doors to cover.

Non-handed. One part number covers left and right hand openings with no field conversion, so a property manager buying for a run of patio doors orders a single item and the crew fits whichever way the door swings.

4) Can the Schlage A30 knob lock go on a fire rated door?

UL listed for 3-hour fire doors, and UL/cUL listed for A label single doors up to 4 by 8 feet. The way an inspector verifies it on the opening is the letter F and the UL symbol stamped on the latch front, so keep the original latch front rather than swapping in an unlisted one.

5) Is the Schlage A30 tough enough for a commercial building or a multi-family turnover?

Grade 2, tested and certified under ANSI/BHMA A156.2 Series 4000, and Schlage states the A Series exceeds Grade 2 requirements. Duty level is heavy, the chassis and trim are zinc and steel, and the A Series is catalogued for commercial use. Grade 2 is the middle commercial tier, above residential Grade 3 and below Grade 1: it is the normal choice for apartment and light commercial openings. For a high-cycle main entrance a Grade 1 lock is the better spec.

6) What knob designs and finishes does the Schlage A30 come in? I need the patio doors to match the rest of the building.

Designs are Georgian, Plymouth, Tulip, Orbit and Levon, each offered in 605 Bright Brass, 606 Satin Brass, 609 Antique Brass, 613 Oil Rubbed Bronze, 625 Bright Chrome and 626 Satin Chrome. Those same trim designs and finishes run right across the A Series, so a patio door can wear the identical knob as the A53 entrance, A70 classroom or A80 storeroom function on the other openings in the same building.

7) Does the Schlage A30 take a Schlage cylinder or an interchangeable core?

There is no cylinder in it. The A30 is a non-keyed patio function locked by push button, so there is no keyway, no core, and nothing to bring into a master key system. If the patio door has to be on the building keying, move to a keyed A Series function such as the A53 entrance or A80 storeroom. Those fit Schlage standard, removable core and high security cylinders and come standard in Everest 29 keyways, with a UL437 listed cylinder available by specifying the Primus XP 20-500 Series.

8) The push button on my Schlage A30 pops back out when the door shuts. Is the lock faulty?

That is the function doing its job. On the A30, turning the inside knob or closing the door both release the button, which is what stops a tenant setting the button and pulling the door shut behind them. It means the lock cannot be left locked from the outside. If the opening needs to stay secured once it closes, that is a different function, and a keyed A Series lock such as the A80 storeroom is what to specify.

9) I need a bathroom privacy knob, not a patio lock. What Grade 2 options are there?

Patio function is the wrong call for a bathroom, since the button releases as soon as the door closes. Inside the A Series, the A40 (ANSI F76) privacy lock is the one to order. From other brands, the Dexter C2000 privacy ball knob is Grade 2 and fits 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. For lighter residential-type traffic, the Cal-Royal BER20 and the Pamex FTF Baron privacy knob are Grade 3 over the same 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch thickness range, and Baldwin's Estate 5077 Bethpage is a decorative privacy knob.

10) The opening takes heavy traffic and the spec calls for Grade 1. What are the Grade 1 knob options next to the Schlage A30?

The Schlage A30 is a Grade 2 heavy duty cylindrical knob lock. The Grade 1 knobs alongside it are function-different, so read them carefully. The Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage knobset with an interchangeable core, fire rated, for doors 1-3/8" to 2-1/4", and the Corbin Russwin CK4310 is a Grade 1 non-keyed passage and closet lock with a Global knob for doors 1-3/8" to 2". Both are passage function, which means there is no push button and the knob never locks. If the opening has to lock and the spec says Grade 1, you are into keyed trim: the Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom and closet knob with a single cylinder and a 2-3/4" backset, and the BEST 8K Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty entrance function knob with a single cylinder.

11) Do I have to use a knob, or is there a lever version of the Schlage A Series for an accessible opening?

The Levon lever is offered alongside the four knob designs, Georgian, Plymouth, Tulip and Orbit. The A Series meets ADA requirements, and under the California Referenced Standards Code all levers with a return to door of 1/2 inch or less comply. Where an accessible route calls for hardware operable without tight grasping, pinching or twisting of the wrist, the lever is the trim to order rather than the knob.

12) Does the Schlage A30 meet Buy American Act requirements for a federal or state job?

Schlage states the A Series meets the Buy American Act, which is the line a government or institutional buyer needs on the submittal. The same locks are certified under ANSI/BHMA A156.2 Series 4000 Grade 2, so the grade line on the spec is covered from the same source.

13) What is the closest cross-brand match to the Schlage A30 patio lock if I need a Grade 2 non-keyed knob with push-button locking?

The Schlage A30 is a Grade 2 cylindrical knob lock, non-keyed, with a push-button function: the button locks it, and turning the inside knob or closing the door releases the button and prevents a lock-out. The nearest match on the same duty class is the Dexter C2000 Series privacy knob, DEX-C2000-PRIV-KNB, a Grade 2 non-clutching, non-keyed cylindrical ball knob for doors 1-3/8" to 1-3/4". The Deltana 6112 St. Thomas knob covers the same bed and bath privacy function on doors 1-3/8" to 2". At Grade 3, the Cal-Royal BER20 and the Pamex FTF Baron privacy knob both fit doors 1-3/8" to 1-3/4". Before you swap, check the door prep: the A30 is non-handed and uses a 2-3/8" backset with a 1" x 2-1/4" square corner latch and a 1-1/8" x 2-3/4" square corner T-strike box.

14) These are hall and storage doors that never need to lock. What knob does the same job without the push button?

The Schlage A30 locks with a push button, so for an opening that only needs a latch you want a passage function knob instead. At the same Grade 2, the Corbin Russwin CK4410 is a non-keyed passage and closet lock with a Global knob for doors 1-3/8" to 1-3/4", and the Dexter C2000 passage knob is a Grade 2 non-clutching, non-keyed ball knob for the same 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" range. Arrow offers two Grade 2 passage knobs, the MK01 in the MK Series and the RK01 ball knob in the RK Series, both for doors 1-3/8" to 1-3/4". The Falcon W101 is a Grade 2 medium duty passage and closet latch knob that is fire rated and comes with a 2-3/4" backset, so it takes a different bore centerline than the A30's 2-3/8" backset.

15) Our doors are a full 2 inches thick. Which knob locks are rated to go that thick?

Several knobs carry a range that reaches 2 inches. On the non-keyed side, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 Grade 1 passage and closet knob is rated 1-3/8" to 2", and the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob is rated 1-3/8" to 2". For keyed and entry trim, the Corbin Russwin CK4851 entrance and office knob with a conventional cylinder is rated 1-3/8" to 2", and the Deltana 3381 Egg Knob and 6171 Round Knob entry sets are both rated 1-3/8" to 2". If you need headroom past 2 inches, the Falcon X101 Grade 1 heavy duty passage knobset goes to 2-1/4". Where the door is thick and you would rather not issue keys, the Lockey 3830 mechanical keyless combination knob lock with auto-locking passage function is rated 1 3/16" to 2".

16) I want a decorative privacy knob on the tenant side rather than a commercial knob. What are my options?

The Schlage A30 is a commercial cylindrical knob lock built in zinc and steel with a push-button function. If the look matters more than the commercial build on that door, the decorative privacy knobs run to solid trim and rose designs: the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob comes with the R027 rose, and the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore privacy knob comes preconfigured with the 5148 rose, a 2-3/8" backset and a full lip strike. The Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob covers doors 1-3/8" to 2". Watch the strike when you mix these into an existing frame: the A30 ships with a 1-1/8" x 2-3/4" square corner T-strike box, while the Baldwin 5000 privacy set comes with a full lip strike.

17) My frames are already prepped for a square corner strike. Which knob locks drop in and which ones bring a different strike?

The Schlage A30 is built for that prep: a 2-3/8" backset with a 1" x 2-1/4" square corner latch and a 1-1/8" x 2-3/4" square corner T-strike box. Several of the knobs beside it are supplied round corner instead. The Kwikset 200P Polo passage knob comes with a 6AL latch and an RCS round corner strike, and the 200P-CP and the 400P-CP keyed entry knob both come with a round corner adjustable latch and a round corner strike. The Baldwin Estate 5000 passage and privacy knobs come with a 2-3/8" backset and a full lip strike. The Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob combo pack ships with adjustable backsets and dual strikes. Matching the strike to the frame mortise is what decides whether the swap is a screwdriver job or a chisel job.

18) The Schlage Residential F500 uses the same Plymouth and Georgian knob names as the A30. Is it the same lock?

No, they are two different products that happen to share design names. The Schlage A30 is a commercial Grade 2 cylindrical knob lock certified to ANSI/BHMA F77S, built in zinc and steel, non-handed, with a fixed 2-3/8" backset, a 1" x 2-1/4" square corner latch and a 1-1/8" x 2-3/4" square corner T-strike box; Plymouth and Georgian are two of its knob designs, offered in finishes such as 613 Oil Rubbed Bronze and 625 Bright Chrome. The Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob is an F Series combo pack with adjustable backsets and dual strikes for doors 1-3/8" to 1-3/4". If the submittal calls out an A Series patio function, the F500 will not satisfy it, and the two do not share latch and strike hardware.

19) Can I put a dummy knob on the door instead of the A30 to save a step?

Not if the door has to lock or latch. Dummy trim is a knob and rose fastened to the face of the door with no latch to retract and no button to push, so it is a pull, not a lock. The dummy sets beside the A30 are the BEST 6K Series single dummy trim at Grade 2 medium duty, the Bravura Biloxi round trim dummy knobset at Grade 2, the Cal-Royal BA40 dummy knob for doors 1-3/8" to 1-3/4", and the Emtek Cast Stainless Steel Round and Octagon dummy knobs, which are sold as pairs. The Schlage A30 by contrast is a cylindrical knob lock with push-button locking that releases when you turn the inside knob or close the door. Dummy trim is the right call on an inactive leaf or a closet door that has a magnetic or roller catch, not on an opening that needs privacy.

20) Staff need key access from the outside of that door. What do I order in place of the A30?

The Schlage A30 is non-keyed, so an outside key means a different function entirely. At the same Grade 2, the Dexter C2000 entry and office knob is a keyed non-clutching ball knob for doors 1-3/8" to 1-3/4", and the Sargent 6G04 is a Grade 2 standard duty storeroom and closet knob with a single cylinder. For heavier openings, the Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom and closet knob with a single cylinder and a 2-3/4" backset, and the BEST 8K Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty entrance function knob with a single cylinder. On lighter interior doors, the Master Lock BC Series BC01 biscuit knob and the Kwikset 400P-CP Polo keyed entry knob are both Grade 3 entrance function, with the 400P-CP fitting doors 1-3/8" to 1-3/4". Storeroom and entrance functions behave differently at the outside knob, so pick the one that matches how you want the door to sit when it is not being used.

21) I am standardizing a building and want one knob family that covers privacy, passage, entry and classroom at a consistent grade. What covers the range?

The Dexter C2000 Series runs four functions at Grade 2 on a common non-clutching ball knob, all for doors 1-3/8" to 1-3/4": privacy (DEX-C2000-PRIV-KNB, non-keyed), passage and closet (DEX-C2000-PASS-KNB, non-keyed), entry and office (DEX-C2000-ENTR-KNB, keyed) and classroom (DEX-C2000-CLRM-KNB, keyed). The Pamex FTF Baron knob covers entrance and office, privacy and passage at Grade 3 on doors 1-3/8" to 1-3/4". The Schlage A30 fills the patio and privacy slot in that kind of schedule at Grade 2 heavy duty with a non-keyed push button, and its A Series stablemates carry the keyed functions on the same chassis, so a building can be scheduled either way. Decide the grade and the door thickness range first, then map the functions door by door.
