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 BRW 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Schlage ALX53 come with a cylinder, or do I have to supply my own core?
Depends which cylinder option you pick, and three of the four ship without one. B is SFIC less core, J is FSIC less core, and L is less conventional cylinder, all three arrive ready for a core you supply or already own. P is the only configured option: a conventional 6-pin cylinder in the Schlage C keyway, and it comes with 2 keys. If you key your building on your own SFIC system, order B and drop your core in.
2) What is the difference between the Schlage ALX53 and the ALX50 entrance function?
Both are keyed entrance locks with a key cylinder outside and a push button inside, but the ALX53 is the ANSI F109 entrance function and the ALX50 is ANSI F82 entrance/office. On the 53, pushing the button locks the outside lever and a key outside or turning the inside lever unlocks it; push AND turn the button and the outside key only retracts the latch, it will not release the button, so the door stays locked until someone returns the button by hand from inside. That push/turn state is what people buy the 53 for on a door they want to stay locked regardless of key use. If you want the button to release automatically, look at the ALX50 F82 instead.
3) Do I need to order a left hand or right hand Schlage ALX53?
No handing to specify. The ALX53 is non-handed, so one lock covers both swings and a property manager can stock a single part number for the whole building. The inside lever is always free for immediate egress no matter how the button is set.
4) Is the Schlage ALX53 fire rated and does it meet ADA?
UL/cUL listed at 3 hours on 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 specified with the 3/4 inch Grade 1 latch option. It also meets ADA requirements, complies with Florida Building Code and Miami Dade hurricane requirements, and levers with a 1/2 inch or less return to door comply with the California Referenced Standards Code. Certification is under ANSI/BHMA A156.2-2011 Series 4000, Grade 2.
5) Can I use my existing keyway on the Schlage ALX53, or am I locked into Schlage C?
The ALX chassis accepts all Schlage cylinder formats plus five competitive cylinder formats, so a locksmith running a non-Schlage keyway across a building can usually keep the existing system. Order one of the less core or less cylinder options (B for SFIC, J for FSIC, L for a conventional cylinder) and fit your own. For high security, the chassis takes Primus XP UL 437 listed cylinders.
6) I need Grade 1 for a high traffic opening. Is the ALX53 enough, or should I step up?
The ALX53 is certified Grade 2 and rated heavy duty, with a stainless steel latchbolt and Grade 1 compression springs, which handles most commercial entrance and office doors. For a genuine Grade 1 entrance on a punishing opening, the Dexter C1000 Series entry/office cylindrical lever is Grade 1 and covers 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Falcon K Series is Grade 1 heavy duty. Schlage's own Grade 1 answer is the ND Series, and the ALX levers suit ND trim so the two look alike side by side in a building.
7) Is the Schlage ALX53 the right function for a classroom or a storeroom door?
No. The ALX53 is an entrance function with an inside push button, which means anyone inside can change the lock state, and that is wrong for a classroom or a stock room. Within the same series, order the ALX70 for ANSI F84 classroom or the ALX80 for ANSI F86 storeroom, where the outside lever stays locked at all times and only a key retracts. The chassis is the same across functions, so the trim and finish match whatever else you have on the ALX.
8) What is the closest Grade 2 keyed entry lever to the Schlage ALX53 Broadway if I need a different brand on the same opening?
The Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle, and the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever is Grade 2 with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different on a 2-3/8 inch backset. The ALX53 Broadway is a Grade 2 cylindrical entrance lever with a key cylinder outside, push button inside and a deadlatch, and its conventional cylinder option is a 6-pin C keyway, so the Cal-Royal AG00 matches the same key section if the building is already on Schlage C. The ALX53 ships standard on a 2-3/4 inch backset, so confirm which backset the door is prepped for before swapping to the AG00.
9) I need a keyed lever that always stays locked from the outside instead of a pushbutton entrance function - what should I order?
For an opening that must stay secured at all times, a storeroom function is the right call rather than an entrance function. The Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever lockset with a deadlocking latchbolt, and the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever. The Schlage ALX53 Broadway is an entrance function with a push button inside, which means an occupant can leave the outside lever unlocked, so it suits an office or side entry rather than a storage or mechanical room.
10) Is there a Grade 1 keyed lever equivalent for a high traffic entry instead of a Grade 2 ALX53?
The Dexter C1000 Series entry/office lever is Grade 1 with a clutching keyed chassis and a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range. The Schlage ALX53 Broadway is Grade 2 and accommodates 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness, so the two cover the same doors with the Dexter carrying the higher ANSI grade. Note the Dexter is an entry/office function, which differs from the ALX53 F109 entrance function in how the inside button behaves, so verify the intended locking behavior before substituting.
11) The door is 2 inches thick - will the ALX53 Broadway fit, and what fits if it does not?
The Schlage ALX53 Broadway accommodates 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness with minimal chassis adjustment, so a full 2 inch leaf is outside that range. The Falcon K101 covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Dexter C1000 asylum function covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Falcon K101 is a passage function with no cylinder, so it is only a fit where the opening does not need keying; for a keyed 2 inch door, check the Corbin Russwin CL3100 Series, which is listed at 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch.
12) The opening needs to release on a fire alarm signal - can a Schlage ALX53 do that, and what does instead?
The Schlage ALX53 Broadway is a mechanical lock with no electrification. For an access-controlled opening, the Corbin Russwin CL33903 is a Grade 1 electrified cylindrical lever lock in a fail safe configuration at 12VAC/DC, covering 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch door thickness with the NZ lever and D rose. Fail safe means the outside lever unlocks when power is removed, which is the behavior a fire alarm interface or a card reader zone typically calls for.
13) Our building is keyed on Yale cylinders - can a Schlage-cylinder lock work into that system?
The Accentra 107S is a Schlage cylinder adapter kit for Yale hardware, which brings a Schlage format cylinder into Yale trim. Working the other direction, the Schlage ALX53 Broadway accepts all Schlage cylinders plus five competitive cylinder formats, and it is offered less core in both small format and full size interchangeable core, so a facility running an existing core program can install the lock and drop its own cores in.
14) The opening takes abuse from tenants forcing the locked lever - is there something more vandal resistant?
The Schlage ALX53 Broadway has a field selectable Vandlgard feature that lets the outside lever rotate freely when locked instead of transmitting force into the chassis, and it is field reversible back to non-Vandlgard engagement. In the same category the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant cylindrical lever, fire rated, for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, though it is a passage/closet function with no cylinder, so it suits a corridor door rather than a keyed entry.
15) Can I get several ALX53 locks keyed alike for one building?
Yes, keying is a required selection when you order: keyed different is standard, keyed alike is available for running multiple locks on one key, and there is a none option for the less cylinder configurations where you are supplying your own cores. There is also a key code field if you need the locks cut to an existing code on your system.
16) What is Vandlgard on the Schlage ALX53 and do I have to order it that way?
Vandlgard lets the outside lever rotate freely when the lock is secured instead of resisting force, which protects the internals from someone hanging on the lever in a corridor or stairwell. On the ALX53 it is field selectable and field reversible, so you can switch between Vandlgard and standard locked lever engagement after the lock is on the door. Nothing to specify at ordering.
17) What are the alternatives to the Schlage ALX53 for a Grade 2 commercial entrance lever?
Staying at Grade 2 with an entrance function, the Hager 2525 commercial cylindrical entry lever covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, the Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 medium duty entry/office cylindrical lever, and the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever comes 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different on a 2-3/8 inch backset. The AG00 is worth a look specifically if your existing prep is 2-3/8 inch and you key on Schlage C. If Grade 3 is acceptable on a light interior office door, the Cal-Royal AUS00 entrance/office lever fits 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.
18) What finishes does the Schlage ALX53 Broadway lever come in?
Ten finishes, all available across every cylinder option: 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 626AM antimicrobial finish is the one to specify for healthcare and food service touch points. Matching an existing building on 626 satin chrome is the common case in commercial work.
19) Can I change a Schlage ALX53 to a different function later without buying a new lock?
Yes. The ALX chassis is modular: one chassis fits all functions and cores, and the patent pending design allows in-field function set up, so a facility repurposing a room can change the lock function without replacing the hardware. You can also buy it factory configured, less levers, or as chassis, function and lever kits, which is how a locksmith carries truck stock that covers several functions from the same box.
20) What is a lighter duty keyed entrance lever for a low traffic door where a Grade 2 commercial lock is more than the job needs?
The Cal-Royal AUS00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office lever lock with a solid brass forged body and a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range, and the Callan Artino is a Grade 3 entrance leverset. Both sit a grade below the Schlage ALX53 Broadway, which is Grade 2 and rated heavy duty. For a tenant closet or a back office door that sees light cycles, the Grade 3 options carry a lower ANSI test class; for a main entry on a commercial building the Grade 2 ALX53 is the class most specs call out.
21) Can I use a Falcon B511CP6D in place of a Schlage ALX53 on an office door?
The Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical lever lock with an entry/office function. The Schlage ALX53 Broadway is Grade 2 heavy duty with the F109 entrance function, where the inside button can be pushed and turned so that the outside key retracts the latch only. The two share the grade and the cylindrical lever format but differ in duty class and in the exact button behavior, so a facility standardizing on one locking sequence should confirm which function the door schedule calls for.
22) Which of these Grade 2 lever locks are not substitutes for a keyed entrance lock?
Several Grade 2 levers in the same cylindrical format are non-keyed and will not secure an entry. The Accentra 5301LN Augusta is Grade 2 passage/closet, the Arrow GL01 is a Grade 2 non-keyed passage lock with the Sierra lever, the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 non-handed passage lever, and the BEST 7KC Series 1DT is a Grade 2 non-keyed single dummy trim with no latch at all. The Schlage ALX53 Broadway is a keyed single cylinder lock supplied with two keys, so any of those passage or dummy units would leave the opening free to push open.
23) We want to drop keys on this opening and go keypad - what replaces a keyed entrance lever?
The Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock, and the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination covering 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness. The Schlage ALX53 Broadway is a mechanical, non-electronic lock operated by key from the outside, so moving to either keypad unit trades key control for code control. The Lockey 1150 is a passage function credentialed by combination and needs no power, while the Delaney LP250 is electronic.
24) Can I put a Kwikset 200BRNL Breton lever on a commercial entry to match a Schlage ALX53?
The Kwikset 200BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 passage lever set covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness, and the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton is the Grade 3 privacy version over the same range. Neither is keyed, so neither secures an entry. The Schlage ALX53 Broadway is a Grade 2 commercial keyed lock, so where a hallway or bath door in the same suite needs matching trim the Breton passage and privacy units cover those openings while the keyed entry stays on the commercial lock.
25) I need matching non-keyed levers for the closet and bath doors on the same job as a keyed entrance lock - what pairs with it?
Within the ALX Series the non-keyed companions are the ALX10 F75 passage lock, the ALX40 F76 privacy lock and the ALX170 single dummy trim, all sharing the Broadway lever if that design is chosen. Across brands, the Hager 2510 is a Grade 2 passage cylindrical lever with the Withnell design and the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 unit with the Withnell lever, both covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, which keeps one lever family across a corridor.
26) What do I order for the inactive leaf of a pair where the ALX53 goes on the active leaf?
The inactive leaf takes dummy trim, not a working chassis. Within the ALX Series that is the ALX170 single dummy trim or the ALX172 double dummy trim, which carry the same Broadway lever. Across brands the BEST 7KC Series 1DT is a Grade 2 single dummy trim cylindrical lever and the BEST 9K Series 1DT is the Grade 1 heavy duty version, and the Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever. Dummy trim does not latch, so it is only correct where the leaf is held by flush bolts.
27) Do I need a knob version instead of a lever for an entrance function, and what is available?
The Arrow HK11-BB is a turn-pushbutton entrance cylindrical lock with a ball knob and a conventional cylinder, listed Grade 2 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, which is the same entrance behavior in a knob. The Schlage ALX53 Broadway is a lever, and levers with a return to door of 1/2 inch or less meet the California Referenced Standards Code while the lock as supplied meets ADA requirements. Knob trim is generally not accepted where accessible operation is required, so check the code path for the opening before choosing the knob.
28) What is the ALX53 lock made of and will the lever droop over time?
Zinc and steel construction, with a deep-drawn spindle that engages the lever at 5 points to stop droop and wobble, plus Grade 1 compression springs. Captured screws in the latch, strike and inside spring cage mean no loose small parts to lose during an install or a service call.
