Schlage ALX SERIES OVERVIEW

The proven AL Series has evolved to ALX

As a Grade 2 lock, the AL Series has always offered a combination of strength and durability alongside Schlage trusted key system options at a price point favorable to any application. Though these qualities remain, the lock has changed. ALX Series' features now deliver flexibility and value beyond strength and security. X Factor qualities, born from modular design, define a lock that exceeds expectations. AL Series' evolution to the ALX Series is a revolution in lock design.

Why modular design is important

The Schlage ALX Series gives you the ability to use it as you would any other lock: ordered and delivered as a complete, configured product ready for installation. However, in its new modular design, ALX Series offers you the flexibility to utilize the separate components of chassis, function and lever packaged kits to create a lock to meet your needs on demand. So whether you are a distributor wanting to offer same day pickup on configured locks in uncommon levers and finishes, a locksmith wanting truck stock solutions that eliminate call backs, or a facility manager wanting to repurpose rooms and change lock functions without the expense of new hardware, ALX Series can work for you.

Schlage ALX53P ATH 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the Schlage ALX53 Athens entrance lock used for?
The ALX53 Athens is a Grade 2 cylindrical entrance lock designed for commercial and institutional applications. It provides keyed entry from the outside and free egress from the inside, making it suitable for main entrances, offices, and other controlled access points.
2) What door thickness does the ALX53 Athens accommodate?
This lock fits standard door thicknesses from 1-3/8" to 1-3/4". For doors outside this range, verify compatibility with the manufacturer's specifications or consider alternative mounting solutions.
3) How do I determine the correct handing for this lock?
Stand on the side of the door where the hinges are not visible. If the door opens to your right, it's right-handed. If it opens to your left, it's left-handed. Most cylindrical locks are field-reversible, but verify the specific model requirements.
4) What finishes are available for the ALX53 series?
Schlage ALX series locks typically come in multiple finishes including satin chrome, bright brass, and others. Check the specific product listing for available options as finishes may vary by lever design and availability.
5) What does Grade 2 certification mean for this lock?
Grade 2 indicates this lock meets ANSI/BHMA standards for commercial use. It's tested for 400,000 cycles and provides security suitable for medium-traffic commercial applications, offices, and institutional buildings.
6) Can this lock be keyed to match existing Schlage cylinders?
Yes, Schlage locks can be keyed alike or integrated into existing key systems. Provide your key code or existing cylinder to a locksmith for proper keying. Master key systems are also available for multi-door installations.
7) What tools are needed for installation?
Installation requires a 2-1/8" hole saw for the cross bore, 1" spade bit for the edge bore, and a 1" chisel for the strike plate mortise. Use the manufacturer's template for precise hole placement and alignment.
8) How do I adjust the latch if the door doesn't close properly?
Check strike plate alignment first. The latch should enter the strike opening smoothly without binding. Adjust the strike plate position or file the opening slightly if needed. Ensure the door frame is square and the latch bolt fully extends.
9) What's the backset measurement for this lock?
Standard backset is typically 2-3/8" or 2-3/4" from the door edge to the center of the lock cylinder. Measure your existing door preparation or check the product specifications to ensure proper fit.
10) Are replacement parts available for the ALX53 series?
Yes, Schlage provides replacement cylinders, springs, and other internal components. Keep the lock model and finish information for accurate part ordering.
11) What other Schlage entrance locks are similar to the ALX53?
Consider the Schlage AL series for similar Grade 2 performance with different lever styles. The ND series offers heavy-duty Grade 1 options for high-traffic applications. Browse our door hardware section for compatible options.
12) Will this lock work in high-moisture environments?
Check the product specifications for environmental ratings. For coastal or high-humidity locations, consider locks with enhanced corrosion resistance or weatherproof finishes. Regular maintenance extends lock life in challenging conditions.
