Schlage C603897605 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What screws do I need to replace the latch and strike screws on a Schlage ALX lever?
The Schlage C603-897 is the factory fastener for ALX Series latch and strike assemblies. It's an 8-32 x 3/4 inch UNC-2A Phillips flat head combo screw in stainless steel, sold 100 to a pack. Because it's the OEM part, the head seats flush in the latch face and strike countersink the way the ALX prep expects, so you're not chasing a hardware-store substitute that stands proud of the plate.
2) Will the C603-897 screw work on Schlage ND or L Series hardware, or only ALX?
ALX Series only, as far as the fit is stated. The C603-897 is specified for Schlage ALX levers and trim, and that's the series it's sold against. If you're servicing a different Schlage line, order the fastener pack called out for that series rather than assuming the thread and head match.
3) What finishes does the Schlage C603-897 latch screw come in, and how do I match my existing levers?
Five finishes: 605 bright brass, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black, and 626 satin chrome. Order to the BHMA number stamped on the lever or strike you're servicing rather than by eye, since 619 and 626 read very similar in a hallway but don't match side by side on the same strike.
4) Can I buy fewer than 100 of these Schlage ALX latch screws?
The C603-897 is sold as a pack of 100 in every finish, so 100 is the buying unit. That's sized for a maintenance crew or a contractor running a floor of openings, not for a single door repair. If you only need a handful, one pack still covers you and leaves stock on the truck for the next service call.
5) Are these ALX latch screws stainless, and will they hold up in an exterior or wet opening?
Stainless steel is the substrate on the C603-897, which is what you want in a screw that gets driven and backed out repeatedly during service, and it resists the corrosion a plated steel screw picks up at an exterior or wash-down opening. The finish is applied over that stainless body to match the trim.
6) Is the Schlage C603-897 screw pack rated for commercial door hardware?
Commercial, yes. The C603-897 is a Schlage Commercial part supplied for ALX Series latch and strike fastening, which is a commercial lever line. For institutional and multi-family fleets, standardizing on the OEM fastener means every latch and strike on the property takes the same driver and the same replacement screw.
7) What driver bit do I need for the Schlage C603-897 latch and strike screw?
It's a Phillips flat head combo, so a Phillips bit drives it, and the combo head also takes a flat blade if that's what's in your pocket. A #2 Phillips is the size that seats in an 8-32 head. Countersunk flat head means it needs a countersunk hole, which the ALX latch face and strike already have.
