Schlage ALX50 Rhodes Entrance/Office Lock - Grade 2 Cylindrical Lever

The Schlage ALX50 with Rhodes lever is a Grade 2 cylindrical entrance/office lock (ANSI F82) designed for commercial doors where keyed exterior access and push-button interior locking are required. It ships with a deadlatch, 2-3/4" backset, and ANSI strike, and is available in four cylinder formats and ten finishes.

ALX50 Function - Entrance/Office Lock

  • Key cylinder outside; push button inside; deadlatch
  • Inside push button locks outside lever
  • Unlock with key outside or by rotating inside lever
  • Field selectable Vandlgard® feature
  • Inside lever always free for immediate egress

ALX Series Overview

The proven AL Series has evolved into the ALX Series. As a Grade 2 lock, the AL Series always offered strength, durability, and trusted Schlage key system options at a competitive price. The ALX Series builds on that foundation with a modular chassis design that delivers flexibility and value beyond security alone.

Why modular design matters: The ALX Series can be ordered as a complete, factory-configured lock ready for installation - or its chassis, function, and lever components can be purchased separately and assembled on demand. This means distributors can offer same-day pickup on uncommon lever/finish combinations, locksmiths can carry truck-stock solutions that eliminate callbacks, and facility managers can repurpose rooms and change lock functions without buying entirely new hardware.

Schlage ALX50P RHO 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the ALX50 entrance/office function actually do at the door?
Key cylinder outside, push button inside, deadlatch. Press the inside button and the outside lever locks; a key outside or simply turning the inside lever unlocks it again. The inside lever is always free, so egress is never blocked. That is ANSI F82, the function for an office or suite door the occupant locks from inside at the end of the day.
2) Do I need to specify handing on the Schlage ALX50 Rhodes lever?
No handing to specify. The ALX50 is non-handed and the latches are reversible, so one part number covers left and right hand doors. Good news for truck stock and for a property manager standardizing across a building: you do not have to survey every opening before ordering.
3) Can I order the Schlage ALX50 to work on my existing SFIC key system?
Yes, and there are five cylinder routes. Order P for a conventional 6-pin cylinder in the C keyway, B for SFIC less core, J for FSIC less core, R for a Schlage FSIC prep supplied with the core, or L for less conventional cylinder. If your facility is already on Best-style small format interchangeable cores, take B and drop your own cores in. Keyed locks come with 2 keys, and you choose keyed different or keyed alike at order.
4) Is the ALX50 Grade 2 strong enough for a busy commercial corridor, or should I step up to Grade 1?
The ALX50 is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.2-2011 Series 4000, Grade 2, and rated heavy duty, with a stainless steel latchbolt and Grade 1 compression springs. For a tenant office, back-of-house, or multi-family unit door it is the right weight of lock. For a high-abuse opening where you want Grade 1, Schlage's ND Series is the step up and suites with ALX, so levers and finishes match across the building. Cross-brand Grade 1 cylindrical options we carry include the Corbin Russwin CL3100 Series and the Falcon K Series.
5) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to the Schlage ALX50 Rhodes entrance/office lever?
The Falcon B511CP6D is the nearest match on function and grade: it is a Grade 2 cylindrical lever lock with an entry/office function, the same duty class of opening the ALX50 serves as a Grade 2 cylindrical entrance/office lock carrying ANSI F82. The Falcon B511CP6D is rated medium duty, while the ALX50 is catalogued heavy duty, so on a high-traffic office suite door the Schlage is the closer fit to the original spec. Both are keyed outside levers for the same style of tenant or office opening.
6) Is there a heavier-duty alternative if the office door needs a Grade 1 lever instead of Grade 2?
The Dexter C1000 Series entry/office lever is Grade 1 with the same entrance/office function, and it fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Schlage ALX50 is Grade 2 and accommodates 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness with minimal chassis adjustment, so the two cover the same door thicknesses; the difference is the ANSI grade and the Dexter's clutching lever design. On an opening where the specification calls out Grade 1 cylindrical, the C1000 entry/office meets it directly.
7) What should I use instead if the door is thicker than 1-3/4 inch?
The Hager 2525 Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness, and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 cylindrical covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, though the K101 is a passage function with no key. The Schlage ALX50 accommodates 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch with minimal chassis adjustment. For a keyed opening on a 2 inch leaf, the Hager 2525 is the entry-function option in that thickness band.
8) If the room needs to stay locked at all times rather than be unlocked by a push button, what lock replaces the ALX50?
A storeroom function is the right swap: the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever on the Withnell design for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The ALX50 is an entrance/office function where the inside push button locks the outside lever and the key or the inside lever unlocks it, which means the outside lever can be left unlocked. Within Schlage, the equivalent change is the ALX80 storeroom function, ANSI F86.
9) Is a knob lock like the Arrow HK11 an acceptable substitute for the ALX50 lever?
The Arrow HK11-BB is a turn-pushbutton entrance cylindrical lock with a ball knob and a conventional cylinder, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, so the locking behavior is close to the ALX50 entrance/office arrangement. The difference that decides it is the trim: a ball knob is not a lever. The ALX50 with the Rhodes lever meets ADA requirements, and California Referenced Standards Code compliance applies to levers with a return to door of 1/2 inch or less. On an opening where the drawing calls for lever trim, a knob will not pass.
10) If the opening is high-abuse and needs a vandal resistant lever, what should I look at?
The Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant cylindrical lever for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch with a fire rating, but it is a passage/closet function with no key. The Schlage ALX50 carries a field selectable Vandlgard feature that is reversible in the field to non-Vandlgard locked lever engagement, so the lever gives under force rather than transmitting it to the chassis, while still being keyed. Where the door must both resist abuse and lock, the keyed ALX50 with Vandlgard covers both; the CL3110 suits an unlocked high-abuse opening on a thicker leaf.
11) What is Vandlgard on the ALX50 and do I have to decide before I order?
Vandlgard lets the outside lever rotate freely when the lock is secured, so a kick or a hard pull on a locked lever does not transmit force into the chassis. On the ALX50 it is field selectable and field reversible, so you can convert between Vandlgard and standard locked-lever engagement on site. No ordering decision needed, which matters if you are stocking one lock for a mix of high-traffic and low-abuse openings.
12) Should I use an entrance/office lock or a storeroom lock on a commercial door?
Entrance/office, which is what the ALX50 is, lets the occupant lock the outside lever with the inside push button and unlock it with the inside lever, so the door can be left unlocked during the day. A storeroom function keeps the outside lever locked at all times and only a key retracts the latch, which is what you want on an equipment or supply room nobody should leave open. In the ALX family that is the ALX80 (ANSI F86); for classroom keying, the ALX70 (ANSI F84). Across other brands we carry, the Cal-Royal AG05 and the Hager 2580 are Grade 2 storeroom lever locks.
13) What is a comparable entrance/office lever lock to the Schlage ALX50 from another brand?
The closest direct peer is the Falcon B511CP6D, a Grade 2 cylindrical lever with entry/office function. The Dexter C1000 entry/office lever is Grade 1 rather than Grade 2 and covers 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" doors. If you are working to a lighter spec, the Cal-Royal AUS00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office lever for 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" doors. The reason to stay with the ALX50 is key system: it takes Schlage conventional, SFIC, and FSIC cylinders, so it drops onto an existing Schlage masterkey system.
14) Can I get the Schlage ALX50 in a black or antimicrobial finish for a healthcare or hospitality job?
Ten finishes are made: 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. 626AM is the antimicrobial version of the standard commercial satin chrome, which is the one healthcare facilities usually specify for patient and staff areas.
15) Does the ALX50 use a high security cylinder if I need one?
It does. The ALX chassis accepts all Schlage cylinder formats plus five competitive formats, and takes Primus XP UL 437 listed cylinders for high security, patent-controlled keying. Order it less cylinder (L, B, or J depending on format) and fit the high security cylinder you are standardizing on.
16) Can I keep several ALX50 locks on one key so a maintenance tech carries one key?
Yes, order keyed alike (KA) and every lock in the group opens on the same key. Keyed different (KD) is the standard, and there is a key code field if you need the locks cut to an existing code on your system. Two keys come with each keyed lock. Choose None on keying only if you are ordering a less-cylinder configuration and supplying your own cores.
17) Can I match the Rhodes lever across other doors that need passage or privacy function?
Yes. The Rhodes lever runs across the whole ALX line, so the same trim appears on the ALX10 passage (F75), ALX40 privacy (F76), ALX44 hospital privacy, and the ALX170 and ALX172 dummy trims, alongside the keyed ALX53 entrance, ALX70 classroom, and ALX80 storeroom. Ten lever designs are offered in total, with two rose designs depending on the lever chosen, and the family suites with the ND Series Grade 1 locks if part of the building needs Grade 1.
18) What is the alternative if the office door needs keypad entry rather than a key?
For code entry instead of a key, the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock, and the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with a double combination for doors 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch, which needs no power. The Schlage ALX50 is a mechanical keyed lock with no electronic function, using a key cylinder outside and a push button inside. Choose the mechanical Lockey where there is no power at the opening and the electronic Delaney where codes need to be changed from the keypad.
19) What is a simpler entrance lever if the ALX50 push-button function is more than the door needs?
The Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever is a Grade 2 keyed lever cut for a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different on a 2-3/8 inch backset, fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. It keys into the same Schlage C system a conventional-cylinder ALX50 uses, since the ALX50 offers a P conventional 6-pin C keyway option, so an existing C-keyway master system covers both. The ALX50 ships standard on a 2-3/4 inch backset with a deadlatch and inside push-button locking; the AG00 is the plainer entrance lever on the shorter backset.
20) Can I use a Falcon B101 or an Arrow GL01 in place of the ALX50 on the same door?
No, those are non-keyed. The Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 cylindrical passage lever and the Arrow GL01 is a Grade 2 passage cylindrical lock with a Sierra lever, non-keyed, so neither will secure the opening. The ALX50 is keyed with a single cylinder outside and ships with two keys. Use a passage lever only where the door never needs to lock; for a keyed office door it is not a substitute.
21) I have Yale hardware on the other doors but the building keys to Schlage - what handles that?
The Accentra 107S is a Schlage cylinder adapter kit for Yale hardware, which lets Yale locks take a Schlage cylinder so one key system covers the building. That matters when standardizing alongside the Schlage ALX50, which can be ordered with a conventional 6-pin C keyway cylinder or with SFIC, FSIC, or less-cylinder preps. Where the Yale hardware is staying on the door, the adapter kit brings it onto the same key system; where the door is being changed out anyway, the ALX50 keys natively.
22) For a healthcare or institutional door needing an antimicrobial finish and a lever, what are the options?
The Schlage ALX50 offers 626AM Satin Chrome Antimicrobial among its finishes, alongside 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, and 643E Aged Bronze. For the secure utility rooms on the same corridor, the Arrow MK33-BD-CS is a Grade 2 heavy duty asylum function lock with a conventional cylinder in the Schlage C keyway, and the Dexter C1000 asylum is the Grade 1 version for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Arrow shares the C keyway, so it can be brought onto the same key system as a conventional-cylinder ALX50.
23) What do I order for the inactive leaf or a pull-only door in the same office suite?
Dummy trim is what matches there. The BEST 7KC Series 1DT is a Grade 2 non-keyed single dummy trim cylindrical lever, and the BEST 9K Series 1DT is the Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed version; the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy cylindrical lever in the 5400 Series. Dummy trim has no latch and no chassis, so it cannot replace the keyed Schlage ALX50 on an operating door. Within Schlage the matching pieces are the ALX170 single dummy and ALX172 double dummy, which keep the same lever design across the suite.
24) Is the ALX Series just a rename of the Schlage AL Series?
It is the AL Series evolved, with a modular chassis as the real change. One chassis covers all ALX functions and cores, so a locksmith can carry a single chassis on the truck and build the function on site, and a facility can change a room from office to storeroom function without buying a new lock. The spindle is deep-drawn with five points of lever engagement to stop lever droop, and screws in the latch, strike, and inside spring cage are captured so nothing goes loose in a bag.
25) What is the Schlage ALX50 lock made of?
Zinc and steel construction, with a stainless steel latchbolt and Grade 1 compression springs in a Grade 2 lock. That is why it carries a heavy duty rating rather than the medium duty typical of Grade 2 cylindrical levers.
26) What is the difference between the ALX50 and an Accentra 5301LN Augusta for an office door?
The Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 cylindrical lever in the 5300 Series with a passage/closet function, and the Accentra 4601LN is a Grade 2 passage cylindrical lever with Augusta trim in the 4600 Series. Both share the Grade 2 rating with the Schlage ALX50, but both are passage: the latch retracts from either side at all times. The ALX50 is keyed with a deadlatch and an inside push button that locks the outside lever. If the Augusta trim design is the reason for the choice, it will need to be paired with a keyed function elsewhere in that line to secure the door.
