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 ALX70P LAT 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How does a Schlage ALX70 classroom lock actually work when a teacher needs to lock down the room?
The ALX70 is locked and unlocked only by key from the outside. Key in the outside lever locks or unlocks that lever, so the outside key has to be used from the corridor side; there is no inside button to secure the door. The inside lever is always free, so anyone in the room can get out at any time regardless of how the outside is set. If you need staff to be able to lock down from inside the classroom without stepping into the hall, this is the wrong function and you want a classroom security lock instead, such as the Dexter C1000 Series Classroom Security.
2) Which cylinder option do I order on the Schlage ALX70 if my building is on small format interchangeable core?
Four cylinder choices are offered. B is SFIC less core and J is FSIC less core, both shipped without a core so you drop in the core your existing system already uses. L comes less conventional cylinder for the same reason. P is a factory conventional 6-pin cylinder in the Schlage C keyway if you are not tied to an existing system. The chassis also accepts all Schlage plus five competitive cylinder formats, and Primus XP UL 437 listed cylinders give you high security keying.
3) Is the Schlage ALX70 handed, and do I need to know which way my classroom door swings?
Non-handed. The lock installs on a left or right hand door without conversion, so you order the same part for every opening in the building and sort the swing at the door. Only the latch face corner (square or round) and the strike need to match what is already cut into the door and frame.
4) Is the Schlage ALX70 approved for a fire rated classroom door?
UL and cUL listed for 3-hour A label fire doors up to 4 x 8 or 4 x 10 feet single, and 8 x 8 foot pairs; 8 x 10 foot pairs are covered at 90 minutes with the 3/4 inch Grade 1 latch options. It is tested and certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.2-2011 Series 4000, Grade 2, function F84, and meets ADA requirements. It also complies with Florida Building Code and Miami Dade hurricane requirements, and levers with a return to door of 1/2 inch or less meet the California Referenced Standards Code.
5) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to a Schlage ALX70 classroom lever lock?
The Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever is the nearest match in a competing line: it is a Grade 2 classroom lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different and a 2-3/4 inch backset, the same backset the ALX70 ships with as standard. Both are keyed cylindrical levers with a classroom function, so a door prepped for one accepts the other with the same 2-3/4 inch bore prep, and the shared Schlage C keyway means the AG03 can be pinned into an existing Schlage C key system alongside ALX70 locks.
6) What is the Grade 1 alternative if a classroom lever needs to meet a Grade 1 spec?
The Dexter C1000 Series classroom cylindrical lever lock carries a Grade 1 rating and a clutching, keyed classroom function, with a door thickness range of 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch. The Schlage ALX70 is certified Grade 2 under ANSI/BHMA A156.2-2011 Series 4000, so on an opening where the drawing calls for Grade 1 cylindrical hardware the C1000 classroom is the direct swap at the same function.
7) What should be used on a storeroom or utility door instead of a classroom lever?
A storeroom function, because a classroom lever leaves the outside lever unlocked once a key turns it and the lever stays free until it is keyed back. Two Grade 2 storeroom levers cover that opening: the Cal-Royal AG05, a Grade 2 storeroom lockset with a deadlocking latchbolt fitting 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 2580 Grade 2 storeroom lock with the Withnell lever, fitting 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. Both keep the outside lever locked at all times with key access only. Within the Schlage ALX line itself the equivalent is the ALX80, ANSI F86 storeroom.
8) Which lever handles a door thicker than 1-3/4 inch?
The Schlage ALX70 accommodates 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors with minimal chassis adjustment. Where the leaf runs thicker, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lever covers 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever and the CL33903 electrified lever both cover 1-3/4 to 2 inch. Confirm the leaf thickness before ordering, since the chassis range is what decides whether the spindle and screws reach.
9) What is Vandlgard on the Schlage ALX70 and should I turn it on?
Vandlgard lets the outside lever rotate freely when the lock is secured rather than fighting the chassis, so someone hanging on or kicking down the lever does not transfer that force into the internals. It is field selectable on this lock and reversible back to non-Vandlgard engagement, so one part number covers a high abuse corridor and a quieter administrative wing. Schools, dorms and any opening that takes rough traffic are where you leave it on.
10) Can I get a run of ALX70 classroom locks all on the same key?
Keying is specified on the order. Keyed different is standard, keyed alike is available when you want one key to run a group of doors, and you can pass an existing key code so new locks join the system you already have. Choose None if you selected one of the less cylinder options and are supplying your own cores. Two keys ship with the lock.
11) Is a Grade 2 lock like the ALX70 heavy enough for a school corridor, or should I be buying Grade 1?
The ALX70 is a Grade 2 lock rated heavy duty, with a stainless steel latchbolt and Grade 1 compression springs, and it carries the same ANSI F84 classroom function a Grade 1 lock would. For classrooms, offices and back of house it holds up. Where you have an exterior opening or a main corridor taking constant abuse, a Grade 1 classroom lock such as the Dexter C1000 Series Classroom is the step up. A practical approach many facilities take is Grade 1 at the perimeter and ALX70 inside, keyed to the same system.
12) What else could I buy instead of the Schlage ALX70 for a classroom door?
Two close alternatives sit in the same class. The Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever is a Grade 2 cylindrical lock with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different and a 2-3/4 inch backset, so it keys into the same C keyway system and takes the same door prep. The Dexter C1000 Series Classroom is a Grade 1 clutching lever for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors when you want a higher grade. What the ALX70 gives you over both is the modular chassis, which lets one chassis serve every function and lets you change a room from classroom to storeroom or office in the field.
13) Can I change an ALX70 to a storeroom or office lock later if the room use changes?
Yes, and that is the point of the modular chassis. One chassis covers every ALX function, and the patent pending design allows quick in-field function setup, so a room converted from a classroom to a storeroom (ALX80, ANSI F86) or an entrance/office (ALX50, ANSI F82) is a parts change rather than a new lockset. Passage (ALX10), privacy (ALX40), hospital privacy (ALX44) and dummy trim (ALX170, ALX172) are in the same family. Keep the chassis, buy the function kit.
14) Will Schlage ALX levers match the ND Series locks already on my other doors?
They will. The ALX Series is built to suite with Schlage ND Series Grade 1 locks, and the lever designs are matched to ND trim, so an ALX70 on a classroom sits next to an ND on a corridor without a visual mismatch. That is the usual way to spec a building: ND Grade 1 where the traffic demands it, ALX Grade 2 elsewhere, one look throughout. ND also adds 15 further functions plus 4 electrified options if a particular opening needs something ALX does not cover.
15) For an office door that only needs a push-button lock, what is a simpler option than a classroom lever?
An entrance/office function, which locks from a button on the inside rather than requiring a key at the outside lever every time. The Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical lever with an entry/office function, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lever for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever comes with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different and a 2-3/8 inch backset. The ALX Series equivalents are the ALX50, ANSI F82 entrance/office, and ALX53, ANSI F109 entrance.
16) Which locks match a classroom lever on the non-keyed doors in the same corridor?
Pair the keyed doors with a passage lever of the same grade so the corridor reads as one set. The Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 cylindrical lever in the passage/closet function, the Hager 2510 is a Grade 2 passage cylindrical lever with the Withnell design for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, and the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 non-handed medium duty passage lever. Non-handing matters on a mixed corridor because the same lock goes on either swing; the Schlage ALX70 is non-handed as well. The in-series match is the ALX10, ANSI F75 passage.
17) Will a Grade 3 residential lever work in place of a commercial classroom lock?
They are not interchangeable for a commercial opening. The Cal-Royal AUS00 entrance/office lever and the Callan Artino entrance leverset are both Grade 3, and the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever is Grade 3 for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Schlage ALX70 is a Grade 2 commercial lock rated heavy duty, so where a specification or code review calls for Grade 2 cylindrical hardware, a Grade 3 lever does not satisfy it regardless of how similar the lever looks.
18) What is the difference between a classroom lever and an asylum or institutional function lock?
An asylum or institution function is keyed on both sides with no free inside lever, which is why it goes on mechanical rooms and secure spaces rather than occupied rooms. The Arrow MK33-BD-CS is a Grade 2 heavy duty asylum lock with a ball knob and a conventional Schlage C keyway cylinder, and the Dexter C1000 asylum is the Grade 1 version of the same F87 function for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. On the Schlage ALX70 the inside lever is always free, which is what makes it usable on a room people occupy.
19) Is a keypad leverset a substitute for a keyed classroom lock?
They solve different problems. 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 in the passage function, fitting 1-1/8 to 2 inch doors. Neither operates on a key system. The Schlage ALX70 is a non-electronic keyed lock supplied with two keys and takes Schlage cylinders plus five competitive cylinder formats, so it is the option that joins an existing master key hierarchy; a keypad lock is the option that removes keys from the door entirely and is managed by code instead.
20) What goes on a door that needs to release under electrical control rather than by key?
An electrified cylindrical lever. The Corbin Russwin CL33903 is a Grade 1 fail safe electrified cylindrical lever running on 12VAC/DC, available with the NZ lever and D rose, for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors. That is the choice when access control or a fire alarm interface has to unlock the opening. The Schlage ALX70 is a mechanical keyed lock with no electrical option, though the ALX Series suites with the ND Series Grade 1 locks, which add four electrified options in a matching lever family.
21) For an abuse-prone corridor, what is the vandal resistant option next to a field selectable Vandlgard lever?
The Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant cylindrical lever in the passage/closet function, fire rated, for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors, and the Falcon T101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever using pressure release technology. Both apply the same idea as the Schlage ALX70 field selectable Vandlgard feature, which is field reversible between Vandlgard and non-Vandlgard locked lever engagement so a lever forced downward does not transfer the load into the chassis. The CL3110 and T101 are non-keyed passage functions, so on a keyed classroom opening they are the companion doors, not the replacement.
22) Can a Yale or Accentra cylindrical lever be brought onto the same Schlage key system?
Yes, with an adapter. The Accentra 107S is a Schlage cylinder adapter kit for Yale hardware, which is what lets an Accentra lock accept a Schlage cylinder and sit in the same keyway as the rest of the openings. The Schlage ALX70 needs no adapter for this, since it accepts all Schlage cylinders plus five competitive cylinder formats and is offered less core in SFIC and FSIC as well as with a conventional 6-pin C keyway cylinder.
23) What finishes does the Schlage ALX70 with Latitude lever come in?
Ten finishes are offered on the Latitude lever, and each is available with any of the four cylinder options: 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. For most commercial work 626 satin chrome is the default that matches existing hardware; 626AM is the one to specify for healthcare and food service where an antimicrobial surface is wanted.
24) Is the ALX70 an electronic or access control lock?
No, it is a purely mechanical key operated lock with no wiring, no power supply and no credential reader. If the opening needs to be released from a security system or tied to card access, look at an electrified cylindrical lever instead, such as the Corbin Russwin CL33903 fail safe lever at 12VAC/DC.
25) What is the ALX70 chassis and lever made of?
Zinc and steel construction, with a stainless steel latchbolt and Grade 1 compression springs in the chassis. The spindle is deep drawn with 5 points of lever engagement, which is what keeps the lever from drooping or wobbling after heavy use, and screws in the latch, strike and inside spring cage are captured so nothing small comes loose during install or service.
26) What matches a keyed lever on a door leaf that does not need to latch at all?
A dummy trim, which is pull-only hardware with no chassis and no latch. The BEST 9K Series 1DT is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed single dummy cylindrical lever trim, the BEST 7KC Series 1DT is the Grade 2 medium duty single dummy, the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy, and the Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever. These carry no function - the Schlage ALX70 has a deadlocking latch bolt and a keyed outside lever, so a dummy is only for the inactive leaf of a pair or a false door where the lever is decoration.
27) Is a privacy lever an acceptable substitute on a room that needs to be secured?
No. The Hager 2540 with the Withnell lever and the Arrow MK02-TA with the Tudor knob are privacy functions, and the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with the 5048 rose is the decorative equivalent. A privacy function locks from a thumbturn or button inside for occupant use and is meant to be released in an emergency, not to hold against entry. The Schlage ALX70 is a keyed single cylinder lock, which is the requirement whenever a key holder has to control who enters the room.
