Schlage ALX40 Bath/Bedroom Privacy Lock

The ALX40 is a Grade 2 cylindrical privacy lever lock (ANSI F76) designed for bathrooms and bedrooms in commercial and multi-family applications. No key required: a pushbutton on the inside locks the outside lever; a coin-turn slot on the outside provides emergency access. The inside lever is always free for immediate egress.

  • No cylinder: coin-turn outside for emergency access; pushbutton inside
  • Spring latch; inside push button locks outside lever
  • Turn inside lever or close door to release button and prevent lock-out
  • Field-selectable Vandlgard® feature
  • Inside lever always free for immediate egress

ALX Series Overview

The proven AL Series has evolved to ALX. As a Grade 2 lock, the AL Series has always offered strength and durability alongside Schlage's trusted key system options at a price point favorable to any application. The ALX Series builds on that foundation with a modular design that delivers flexibility and value beyond strength and security.

Why Modular Design Matters

The Schlage ALX Series can be ordered and delivered as a complete, configured product ready for installation, or its modular chassis, function, and lever components can be combined on demand. Distributors offering same-day pickup on configured locks, locksmiths building truck stock, and facility managers repurposing rooms without buying new hardware all benefit from this flexibility.

Schlage ALX40 SAT 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Schlage ALX40 privacy lever fit a 1-3/8 inch door, or is it 1-3/4 only?
The ALX40 covers 1-3/8 inch through 1-3/4 inch doors with a minor chassis adjustment, so one part number handles both the older interior doors and standard commercial leaf thickness. That is one of the reasons it works well for mixed-vintage buildings where bathroom and bedroom doors were hung decades apart.
2) Will the ALX40 latch into the strike plate that's already in my frame?
The lock comes with a full ANSI strike, 1-1/4 by 4-7/8 inches with a 1-3/16 inch lip, plus a square corner latch face measuring 1-1/8 by 2-1/4 inches. If the frame is prepped for an ANSI strike, that is a direct swap. If it has a small T-strike or a round-corner latch face, plan on either changing the strike or filing the frame. Schlage also lists alternate strikes 10-013, 10-016 and 10-025 for the ALX chassis when the frame prep does not match the ANSI cutout.
3) Do I have to specify left or right hand when I order a Schlage ALX40?
No handing to specify. The ALX40 is field reversible, so the same lock serves a left or right hand door and the latch reverses on site. For a property manager stocking spares across a building, that means one part number covers every bathroom and bedroom door regardless of swing.
4) How does someone get into a bathroom if a tenant locks the ALX40 from inside?
There is no key and no cylinder on the ALX40. A pushbutton on the inside lever locks the outside lever, and the outside trim has a coin-turn slot for emergency entry, so maintenance opens it with a coin, a flat screwdriver, or a standard emergency key tool. The inside lever is always free to exit. The button also releases when the inside lever is turned or the door is closed, which is what keeps a resident from locking the room up behind them.
5) Can a privacy lever like the Schlage ALX40 go on a fire rated bathroom door?
Yes. ALX Series locks are UL/cUL listed for 3 hour A label fire doors up to 4 x 8 or 4 x 10 foot single doors and 8 x 8 foot pairs, with 90 minutes on 8 x 10 foot pairs when the 3/4 inch Grade 1 latch option is used. The ALX40 also meets ADA requirements, which matters on a public restroom, and levers with a 1/2 inch (13 mm) or smaller return to door comply with the California Referenced Standards Code.
6) Does the Schlage ALX40 privacy lock take a key cylinder or work on a master key system?
No cylinder at all on the ALX40, so it cannot be keyed and it will not go onto a master key system. It is a non-keyed privacy function with a pushbutton inside and a coin turn outside. If the opening needs to be on the building's keyway, order the keyed ALX functions on the same chassis instead, ALX50 entrance/office, ALX53 entrance, ALX70 classroom, or ALX80 storeroom. Those accept all Schlage cylinders plus five competitive cylinder formats, and take Primus XP UL 437 listed cylinders where high security is required.
7) What is the closest Grade 2 privacy lever equivalent to a Schlage ALX40 for a bath or bedroom door?
The Hager 2540 with the Withnell lever is the nearest cross-brand match: it is a Grade 2 cylindrical privacy lock built for the same bed and bath openings the ALX40 covers, and it fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The ALX40 is Grade 2, ANSI F76, with a 2-3/4 inch backset and a pushbutton inside with coin-turn outside. Both are lever-operated cylindrical privacy locks, so the swap is decided by lever style and finish rather than by function.
8) For a residential apartment interior bathroom, is there a lighter-duty privacy lever than the Schlage ALX40?
The Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever set is a Grade 3 privacy lock for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, a lighter-duty option for interior bath and bedroom doors. The Schlage ALX40 is a Grade 2 heavy duty commercial privacy lock. On a turnover-heavy corridor or a commercial bathroom the ALX40 duty level is the reason to specify it; behind a unit door in low-traffic residential use, the Grade 3 Breton is the lighter build.
9) The door does not need to lock at all - what do I order instead of a Schlage ALX40?
For an opening that only needs latching, the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 cylindrical passage lever lock with a non-handed design, and the Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 cylindrical lever lock in passage/closet function. The Schlage ALX40 is the privacy version, with a pushbutton inside that locks the outside lever. On closets, utility rooms, and corridor doors where nothing should ever lock, a passage set removes the lockout risk entirely.
10) The opening is a high-abuse door and Grade 2 will not pass spec - what heavy-duty lever should I use in place of a Schlage ALX40?
For a Grade 1 requirement, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical lock with non-handed levers, fire rated, fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant cylindrical lever lock, fire rated, for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. Both are passage function rather than privacy, so they do not carry the pushbutton privacy the Schlage ALX40 provides - specify them where the door needs Grade 1 strength and does not need to lock from inside.
11) What should I use instead of a Schlage ALX40 on a patient or resident room where staff need immediate override?
For behavioral health and institutional openings, the Dexter C1000 asylum lock is a Grade 1 cylindrical lock in ANSI F87 asylum function for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Arrow MK33-BD-CS is a Grade 2 heavy duty asylum function lock with a conventional cylinder in Schlage C keyway. The Schlage ALX40 releases from the inside lever and by coin-turn from outside, which suits bath and bedroom doors; asylum function keys both sides instead, so no occupant can secure the room against staff.
12) The door is thicker than 1-3/4 inch - what cylindrical lever fits where a Schlage ALX40 will not?
The Schlage ALX40 accommodates 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness with minimal chassis adjustment. For thicker leaves, the Falcon K101 covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, the Dexter C1000 asylum covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Hager 2510 passage covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Measure the leaf before ordering: a 2 inch door on a mineral-core commercial opening is outside the ALX40 chassis range.
13) What is Vandlgard on the Schlage ALX Series and do I need it on a bathroom door?
Vandlgard lets the outside lever swing freely when the lock is in the locked state instead of holding rigid, so someone hanging on the handle or kicking it downward does not transmit that force into the chassis. It matters in schools, dorms, and public restrooms where the lever gets abused. On the ALX40 it is field selectable and field reversible back to standard locked lever engagement, so you are not choosing it at order time and you are not stuck with the choice.
14) Should I use the ALX40 privacy or the ALX44 hospital privacy function?
Both lock from inside without a key. The ALX40 is the standard ANSI F76 privacy lock for bathrooms and bedrooms, with a pushbutton inside and a coin turn outside. The ALX44 hospital privacy function is the one to specify where staff need to release the lock from the corridor side without a tool, typical in patient rooms and assisted living. If the room is a residential bath or a bedroom in a multi-family building, the ALX40 is the correct function. If you need a passage set with no locking at all, that is the ALX10 (ANSI F75).
15) Is a Grade 2 lock like the ALX40 enough for apartment bathrooms, or do I need Grade 1?
Grade 2 under ANSI/BHMA A156.2-2011 Series 4000 is the standard commercial spec for multi-family bathroom and bedroom doors, and the ALX40 is rated heavy duty with a stainless steel latchbolt and Grade 1 compression springs. If a specification calls for a true Grade 1 cylindrical privacy lock, look at the Arrow MK02-TA instead, which we list as Grade 1 privacy with a fire rating, though it is a knob rather than a lever and will not meet ADA lever requirements.
16) What lever styles and finishes does the Schlage ALX40 come in, and can I match the ones on my corridor doors?
Ten lever designs: Athens, Boardwalk, Broadway, Latitude, Longitude, Omega, Rhodes, Saturn, Sparta, and Tubular. Ten finishes: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, 626AM satin chrome antimicrobial, and 643E aged bronze. The ALX lever designs are made to pair with Schlage ND Series Grade 1 locks, so a building can run ND on corridors and stairwells and ALX on the bath and bedroom doors with the trim reading as one set.
17) Can I change an ALX40 privacy lock to a keyed function later without buying a whole new lock?
Yes, and that is the point of the ALX modular design. One chassis carries every ALX function, and the patent-pending design allows in-field function setup, so a room repurposed from a bedroom to an office or storeroom can be converted rather than replaced. The keyed functions in the family are ALX50 entrance/office (F82), ALX53 entrance (F109), ALX70 classroom (F84), and ALX80 storeroom (F86). The parts can be bought factory configured, as lock-less levers, or as component kits for on-site assembly, which is how locksmiths build truck stock on this series.
18) What is an alternative to the Schlage ALX40 if I need a Grade 2 privacy lever from another brand?
The Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 cylindrical privacy lock with a Withnell lever covering 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, so it reaches thicker leaves than the ALX40's 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch range. For a residential-grade job rather than commercial, the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 privacy lever set for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. Neither one has the ALX modular chassis or the field-selectable Vandlgard, so if the plan is to standardize a building and convert functions later, the ALX40 is the one that supports that.
19) Can the Schlage ALX40 be used on an exterior or hurricane-rated opening?
ALX Series locks are compliant with Florida Building Code and Miami-Dade hurricane requirements, so the series is accepted on those openings. That said, the ALX40 is the privacy function with no cylinder and a coin turn on the outside, which is not security hardware. For an exterior door on a hurricane-code building, specify a keyed ALX function such as the ALX80 storeroom (ANSI F86) and keep the ALX40 for the interior bath and bedroom doors.
20) I need a privacy lock but the door has knobs, not levers - what takes the place of a Schlage ALX40?
The Arrow MK02-TA is a privacy cylindrical lock with a Tudor knob rather than a lever, non-keyed, and it is fire rated for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. The Schlage ALX40 is a lever product across all ten of its lever designs, so where a knob is wanted or required to match the rest of the openings, the MK02-TA covers the same privacy function in knob form. Note that a knob does not meet the ADA operation requirement the ALX40 lever meets.
21) The room needs to lock with a key, not a pushbutton - what replaces a Schlage ALX40?
Move to a keyed function. The Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 cylindrical lever in entry/office function, and the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Schlage ALX40 is non-keyed by design, so any opening that has to be controlled by a key needs an entry, office, or storeroom function instead.
22) I want a decorative privacy lever for a high-end interior instead of a Schlage ALX40 - what is the option?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with the 5048 rose is the decorative-line privacy option, and it has matching passage, right hand half dummy, and left hand half dummy versions in the same 5103 lever so a suite of doors reads the same. The Schlage ALX40 is a Grade 2 commercial heavy duty privacy lock in ten finishes from bright brass through matte black and aged bronze. The Baldwin is the choice where the interior calls for an estate-grade lever; the ALX40 is the choice where the door is taking commercial traffic.
23) I am standardizing a floor on one lever look - what passage and dummy sets pair with a Schlage ALX40 privacy lock?
Within Schlage, the ALX Series carries ALX10 passage, ALX170 single dummy, and ALX172 double dummy alongside the ALX40 privacy, all sharing the same ten lever designs and ten finishes. If the floor is being built on another brand, the Accentra 4601LN is a Grade 2 passage lever with Augusta trim and the Accentra 455LN is the Augusta single dummy, and on the BEST side the 9K Series 1DT is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy trim while the 7KC Series 1DT is the Grade 2 medium duty single dummy. Matching a suite means matching the trim family, not just the function.
24) What is the difference between a Schlage ALX40 and an Arrow GL01 for an interior commercial door?
The Arrow GL01 is a Grade 2 non-keyed cylindrical lock with the Sierra lever in passage function, fitting 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. The Schlage ALX40 is also Grade 2 and non-keyed, but it is ANSI F76 privacy - a pushbutton inside locks the outside lever, with a coin-turn outside for emergency access - and it fits 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Same grade, same non-keyed category, different job at the door and different thickness window.
25) Does a Schlage ALX40 need to be ordered handed the way some lever locks do?
The Schlage ALX40 is field reversible, so one part number serves both hands of door. Among the alternatives, the Falcon B101 and the Falcon K101 are non-handed designs as well. The Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy, by contrast, is sold as a distinct right hand and left hand part, so the hand has to be determined before ordering. For truck stock and multi-door jobs, a reversible or non-handed set cuts what has to be carried.
26) Is the 626AM antimicrobial finish on the ALX40 the same lock, or a different chassis?
Same lock. 626AM is satin chrome with an antimicrobial finish treatment on the trim, one of the ten finish choices on the ALX40, and it does not change the function, the 2-3/4 inch backset, or the chassis. It is the one healthcare and long-term-care buyers usually ask for on patient bath doors when they want the touched surfaces treated without changing hardware standards.
27) What is the ALX40 lever made of, and will it hold up in a high-traffic restroom?
Zinc and steel construction, rated heavy duty, with a stainless steel latchbolt and Grade 1 compression springs. The spindle is deep drawn with five points of lever engagement, which is what stops the droop and wobble you get on cheaper cylindrical levers after a few thousand cycles. Screws in the latch, strike, and inside spring cage are captured, so nothing comes loose in the box or on the door during service.
28) I need matching passage levers for the closet and hall doors next to the ALX40 bathrooms. What pairs with it?
Stay in the family: the ALX10 is the ANSI F75 passage function on the same chassis, in the same ten lever designs and ten finishes, so the closet and hall doors match the bath doors exactly. If those openings need dummy trim instead, the ALX170 is single dummy and the ALX172 is double dummy. Going outside Schlage breaks the trim match, but if you are already running another brand, the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 non-handed cylindrical passage lever and the Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 passage lever in the 5300 Series.
29) Is there a code-entry lever I can use instead of a Schlage ALX40 privacy lock?
The Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination, fitting doors 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock. The Schlage ALX40 is a mechanical, non-electronic privacy lock operated by a pushbutton inside. Keypad sets control who enters a room, which is a different job than privacy - a bathroom or bedroom door usually wants occupant-side locking, not a shared code.
30) Is there a Grade 3 lever I can use in place of a Schlage ALX40 on a light-traffic interior door?
On the lighter end, the Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel and the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 passage lever for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Both are passage, not privacy, so neither locks. The Schlage ALX40 is Grade 2 heavy duty and privacy function; the Grade 3 passage sets suit closets and low-traffic interior doors that never need to secure.
