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.
