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. Whether you are a distributor offering same-day pickup on configured locks, a locksmith building truck stock, or a facility manager repurposing rooms without buying new hardware, ALX Series works for you.
