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 ALXV40 RHO 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the Vandlgard feature on the Schlage ALXV40 actually do, and can it be turned off?
Vandlgard lets the outside lever rotate freely when the lock is in the locked state instead of resisting force, so somebody hanging on or kicking the lever does not transmit that abuse into the chassis. It is a field selectable feature and it is field reversible back to standard non-Vandlgard locked lever engagement, so one part covers both a high-abuse restroom in a school or transit facility and a low-traffic office where you want the conventional rigid feel.
2) How do you get into a bathroom locked with a Schlage ALXV40 in an emergency?
There is a coin turn on the outside face for emergency access, no key and no cylinder anywhere in the lock. Inside, a push button locks the outside lever, and turning the inside lever or simply closing the door releases the button so nobody gets locked out. The inside lever is always free, so egress is immediate regardless of the button state.
3) Will a Schlage ALXV40 latch into the strike already in my frame?
It ships with a 2-3/4 inch backset spring latch (part 47267038), square corner face, 1-1/8 x 2-1/4 inches, with restoring function. The standard strike is an ANSI strike, no box, 1-1/4 x 4-7/8 inches with a 1-3/16 inch lip. If your frame is already prepped for a full ANSI 4-7/8 inch strike, it drops straight in. If the existing opening has a small T-strike or a round corner latch face, plan on a face plate change or frame filing.
4) Is the ALXV40 privacy lock strong enough for a public restroom, or do I need a Grade 1 lock?
The ALXV40 is certified under ANSI/BHMA A156.2-2011 Series 4000, Grade 2, function F76, and is rated heavy duty with a stainless steel latchbolt and Grade 1 compression springs. That plus Vandlgard covers most commercial restrooms. If your spec sheet says Grade 1 outright, this will not satisfy it, and you would be looking at a Grade 1 cylindrical lock such as the Corbin Russwin CL3100 Series vandal resistant line or the Falcon K Series.
5) Can a Schlage ALXV40 go on a fire rated bathroom door?
Yes. ALX Series locks are UL/cUL listed for 3-hour A label fire doors up to 4 x 8 or 4 x 10 foot single doors and 8 x 8 foot pairs, and 90 minutes on 8 x 10 foot pairs when specified with the 3/4 inch Grade 1 latch option. The privacy function itself is code-friendly on egress because the inside lever always retracts the latch. The series also meets ADA requirements, and levers with a return to door of 1/2 inch or less comply with the California Referenced Standards Code.
6) Will Schlage ALX levers match the ND Series locks already on my other doors?
They are built to. Schlage states the ALX Series suites with ND Series Grade 1 locks, and the ALX lever designs are matched to the ND line, so you can run Grade 1 ND locks on corridor and entry openings and Grade 2 ALXV40 privacy locks on the restrooms and bedrooms without a visual break down the hallway. ND also brings 15 additional functions and 4 electrified options for the openings ALX does not cover.
7) What is the closest Grade 2 privacy lever equivalent to the Schlage ALXV40?
The Hager 2540 with the Withnell lever is the nearest match in a lever-handle privacy lock: it is a Grade 2 cylindrical privacy lock covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The ALXV40 is a Grade 2 non-keyed privacy/bed/bath cylindrical leverset with a coin turn outside and a pushbutton inside, and it is non-handed, so either can go into a bath or bedroom opening prepped for a standard cylindrical bore. The difference to weigh is the ALXV40 carries the field selectable Vandlgard feature, where the outside lever moves freely under force while locked, and the Hager 2540 is a fixed-lever privacy set.
8) Is the Arrow MK02-TA a substitute for a Schlage ALXV40 privacy lock?
Only if the opening can take a knob instead of a lever. The Arrow MK02-TA is a privacy/bed/bath cylindrical lock with a Tudor knob, non-keyed, fire rated, and fits 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. The ALXV40 is a lever set, and a lever is what most facilities standardize on for ADA compliance; the ALX Series meets ADA requirements. If the door is in a tenant unit or public restroom where lever operation is required, the MK02-TA knob is not an equivalent regardless of matching function.
9) I need a Grade 1 lock on a high traffic restroom, not Grade 2. What are my options?
For a step up in cylindrical lever locks, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant cylindrical lever, fire rated, for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Falcon T101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical lever with pressure release technology. Both are passage/closet function, so neither locks; if the restroom is single occupancy and must lock from inside, the ALXV40 is the privacy function in the group, tested and certified under ANSI/BHMA A156.2-2011 Series 4000, Grade 2, with the Vandlgard lever that pivots under downward force rather than transmitting it to the chassis.
10) The room needs a key on the outside, not a coin turn. What replaces the ALXV40?
Move to a keyed function. The Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with a lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, the Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 cylindrical lever in entry/office function, and the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt for a door that stays locked and is opened only by key. The ALXV40 is non-keyed and takes no cylinder, so it cannot be converted by adding one; the ALX chassis does accept keyed functions such as ALX50 entrance/office and ALX80 storeroom if you want to stay in the same series and lever family.
11) For a patient room or a behavioral health door, is the ALXV40 the right privacy lock?
For a standard patient bath, yes. Where staff need to prevent a room from being secured against them, the Arrow MK33-BD-CS is a Grade 2 heavy duty asylum function cylindrical lock with a ball knob and a Schlage C keyway conventional cylinder, and the Dexter C1000 asylum F87 is a Grade 1 cylindrical lock for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors; asylum function locks both sides and is operated only by key. The ALXV40 is the F76 privacy function, which the occupant controls from inside with a pushbutton, with a coin turn for emergency access from outside. The ALX Series also lists a hospital privacy function, ALX44, on the same chassis.
12) Do I have to order a left hand or right hand Schlage ALXV40?
No handing to specify. The ALXV40 is non-handed, so one part number covers doors swinging either direction and you can stock a single lock across a building instead of splitting inventory by hand.
13) What do I need to specify when ordering a Schlage ALXV40 privacy lever?
Two choices drive the order: lever design and finish. Ten lever designs are offered (Athens, Boardwalk, Broadway, Latitude, Longitude, Omega, Rhodes, Saturn, Sparta, Tubular) and ten finishes (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, 643E aged bronze). Rose design follows the lever you pick. There is no keying to specify, since the privacy function has no cylinder. Split finishes and split styles are handled through the Sales Center and carry extended factory lead times.
14) Privacy lock or passage lock for a bedroom or bathroom door?
Privacy is what you want anywhere the occupant needs to lock themselves in: the ALXV40 gives you the inside push button and outside coin turn. A passage lock has no locking at all, latch only, and is for hall, closet, and corridor doors. If passage is what the opening needs, the same-grade options include the Falcon B101 or the Accentra 5301LN Augusta, both Grade 2 cylindrical passage levers. For patient rooms and similar where the door must be openable from outside without a coin turn, the ALX44 hospital privacy function is the one to look at.
15) Can I change a Schlage ALXV40 to a keyed function later if the room use changes?
That is what the modular ALX design is for. One chassis fits all functions and all cores, and the patent pending chassis allows in-field function setup, so a room converted from a bedroom to an office does not need a whole new lock, just the function and lever kit. Keyed functions in the family run ALX50 entrance/office (F82), ALX53 entrance (F109), ALX70 classroom (F84), and ALX80 storeroom (F86). Locksmiths carrying ALX chassis, function and lever kits as truck stock can configure on site instead of returning for the right lock.
16) I need a privacy lever but the door is bored at a 2-3/8 inch backset. What are my options?
The ALXV40 is a 2-3/4 inch backset lock, which is the standard commercial prep. On a residential-prep door bored at 2-3/8 you would either redrill the strike location or go to a lock offered at that backset. Among comparable privacy levers, the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy set is a Grade 3 residential-duty option covering 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. Note that Grade 3 is a step down in cycle and strength testing from the ALXV40's Grade 2 certification, so it is not a like-for-like swap on a commercial opening.
17) What is a comparable Grade 2 commercial privacy lever to the Schlage ALXV40 from another brand?
Hager 2540 with the Withnell lever is the closest Grade 2 commercial cylindrical privacy lock in the same class, and it covers a wider door thickness range at 1-3/8 to 2 inches. If you want a knob rather than a lever on the opening, the Arrow MK02-TA is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with a Tudor knob rated for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors. Neither carries the field-reversible Vandlgard lever behavior, which is the ALXV40's distinguishing feature on abuse-prone restroom doors.
18) Can I use a Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever in place of the Schlage ALXV40?
They share the privacy/bed/bath function, but they are built for different service. The Kwikset 300BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 privacy lever set for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The ALXV40 is Grade 2, heavy duty, and specified for commercial use, with zinc and steel construction and a 2-3/4 inch backset. On residential interior doors in a single family rental the Breton covers the function; for corridor bath doors in a multi-family or institutional building where the cycle count and abuse are higher, the grade difference is the deciding factor.
19) What looks like an ALXV40 replacement but will not actually lock the door?
Dummy trim. The BEST 7KC single dummy trim is a Grade 2 non-keyed cylindrical lever, the BEST 9K 1DT is the Grade 1 heavy duty version, and the Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever. All three mount a lever that matches surrounding hardware but has no chassis and no latch, so they suit inactive leaves and closet fronts pulled by hand. The ALXV40 is a working privacy lock with a spring latch, inside pushbutton and outside coin turn for emergency access.
20) Is a keypad lever a workable alternative to an ALXV40 on a bathroom door?
Not for bath or bedroom privacy. The Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set in passage function for 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad lever lock. Those are built to control who enters a room from outside, which is the opposite of what a privacy lock does: the ALXV40 has no cylinder and no code entry, it locks from the inside by pushbutton and releases when the inside lever turns or the door closes, so nobody gets shut in. Choose the keypad sets for storage and office doors, not for restrooms.
21) I am matching an existing decorative lever in a hotel guest room. How does the ALXV40 compare to a Baldwin or Emtek privacy lever?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with the 5048 rose is the decorative privacy set in the group, and Baldwin also builds the 5103 as a passage lever and as left and right hand half dummies so a whole suite matches. The ALXV40 approaches suiting differently: it is non-handed, comes in ten lever designs including Athens, Rhodes, Sparta and Latitude, and ten finishes from bright brass through matte black and oil rubbed bronze, and the levers suit Schlage ND Series Grade 1 locks so guest entry and bath can share an appearance. If the room package is already Baldwin Estate trim, stay with the 5103 privacy; if the specification is commercial hardware carrying a Grade 2 certification, the ALXV40 is the one that meets it.
22) Does the Falcon K101 cover the same openings as the Schlage ALXV40?
It covers a wider range of door thicknesses but a different function. The Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage cylindrical lock with non-handed levers, fire rated, fitting 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. The ALXV40 is also non-handed and heavy duty, but it is the privacy function with a spring latch, and the ALX Series is UL and cUL listed for 3-hour A label fire doors. Specify the K101 where a corridor or closet door only needs latching across an unusually thick leaf, and the ALXV40 where the room has to lock from inside.
23) Which finish should I pick for a Schlage ALXV40 in a healthcare or food service restroom?
626AM, satin chrome antimicrobial, is the one to specify when the facility wants a touch-surface treatment on high-traffic restroom doors. It is a straight finish substitution, same ALXV40 lock, same lever designs, so it matches the plain 626 satin chrome hardware elsewhere in the building visually.
24) What is the Schlage ALXV40 made of, and will the lever droop over time?
Chassis and trim are zinc and steel with a stainless steel latchbolt. The droop and wobble complaint that kills cheap levers is addressed with a deep-drawn spindle carrying five points of lever engagement, plus Grade 1 compression springs to return the lever. Captured screws in the latch, strike and inside spring cage mean no loose small parts to lose during an install or a service call.
25) Is there a lower cost lever set that still meets a Grade 2 privacy requirement for apartment interiors?
Within Grade 2 lever locks, the Hager 2540 with Withnell lever is a privacy cylindrical lock for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors and is the simplest like for like. Grade 3 options such as the Callan Asheville passage leverset and the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever do not carry a privacy function and will not satisfy a Grade 2 specification. If the unit's spec calls out Grade 2 privacy on bath and bedroom doors, the ALXV40 and the Hager 2540 are the two that answer it.
