Schlage J40 Broadway Privacy Lever Set

The Schlage J40 is a Grade 2 cylindrical privacy lockset for residential bedroom and bathroom doors. The Broadway lever pairs with your choice of Collins or Kinsler rose trim. Non-handed design installs on left- or right-hand doors without field modification. Fits doors 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" thick with a dual-backset latch that accommodates either a 2-3/8" or 2-3/4" backset.

Function

Turn-button locking from the interior. The exterior turn mechanism provides emergency override access. From the interior, turning the turn-button releases the inside lever.

Schlage Residential J40 BRW 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Schlage J40 Broadway privacy lever fit a 1-3/8 inch bedroom door, or is it only for 1-3/4 inch doors?
Both. The J40 Broadway privacy lever covers a door thickness range of 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, so it handles the thinner hollow-core interior doors common in older houses and apartments as well as standard 1-3/4 inch doors. The latch is a dual backset unit that adjusts to either a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, which are the two bores you will find on residential doors, so you do not have to measure the hole centerline before ordering.
2) Is the Schlage J40 privacy lever handed? I have doors swinging both directions in the same unit.
No handing to specify. The J40 Broadway lever is non-handed, so one part number works on a left-hand or right-hand door with no field conversion. Order the same lock for every bedroom and bath in the unit regardless of swing, and set the lever direction at install.
3) Can a Schlage J40 privacy lever be unlocked from the outside if someone locks themselves in the bathroom?
Yes, and that is the point of the function. The inside lever locks with a turn-button, and from the corridor side there is an outside turn mechanism that releases it. Turning the inside button also releases the inside lever. That gives maintenance or a parent a way in without a key, which is what makes it a bed and bath lock rather than a keyed one.
4) Does the Schlage J40 Broadway lever come with a key, and can it be keyed alike with my other locks?
The J40 is non-keyed. There is no cylinder in it, so it cannot be keyed or keyed alike with anything. It is the privacy function: turn-button on the inside, emergency turn on the outside. If you need a keyed lever in the same Broadway design and finish, the keyed entry version in the J Series is the J54-BRW-COL, single cylinder. J10-BRW-COL is the passage (non-locking) version and J170-BRW-COL is the single dummy.
5) Can I put a Schlage J40 privacy lever on a fire rated bedroom door in an apartment building?
Not this function. Within the Schlage J Series, the UL Listed 3 hour fire door option is available on the J10 passage and J54 keyed entry functions only, and the J40 privacy is not one of them. For a rated opening, specify the J10-BRW-COL or J54-BRW-COL with the fire door option, and keep the J40 privacy on non-rated bedroom and bath doors inside the unit.
6) I am replacing an old privacy knob. Will the Schlage J40 lever drop into the existing door prep and use the strike already in the frame?
In most cases yes on the door, with a check on the frame. The J40 ships the 16-254 dual option spring latch, which covers both a 1/4 inch round faceplate prep and a drive-in prep, and it adjusts to a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, so it lands in a standard residential bore either way. The frame is where to look: the lock comes with the 10-101 round corner full lip strike, 1-5/8 x 2-1/4 inches, and no dust box. If your jamb is cut for a square corner strike or a different lip length, plan on filing the mortise or reusing the frame plate you already have.
7) The Schlage J40 Broadway lever is a privacy lock for bed and bath doors. What holds the same Grade 2 rating for the entry door of the same unit?
The Schlage J40 Broadway is a Grade 2 lockset with a Privacy/Bed/Bath function, so it goes on interior bedroom and bathroom doors rather than the entry. To keep the entry door at the same Grade 2 level, Bravura's handlesets carry a Grade 2 rating: the 913-Savannah, the 915-Jacksonville, and the 971-Austin, each supplied with a 615 interior plate and a 906-Macon interior knob, and the 973-Montgomery with a 672 interior plate. Delaney's Katana (400-KA) is also a Grade 2 single cylinder handleset with interior trim. Any of those puts the exterior opening on the same ANSI/BHMA grade tier the J40 Broadway carries inside.
8) Can an Emtek Select Brass Conical Stem Dark Walnut knob be used on a bathroom door instead of the Schlage J40 Broadway privacy lever?
No, those are two different functions. The Emtek Select Brass Conical Stem Dark Walnut knob is a Passage/Hall/Closet set, which latches the door but does not lock. The Schlage J40 Broadway is a privacy set with turn-button locking: the inside turn button locks the outside lever, turning the inside turn button releases it, and the outside turn mechanism opens the door for emergency access. A bathroom or bedroom that needs to lock takes the J40 Broadway. The Emtek passage knob belongs on the closet and hall doors in the same project, where no locking function is wanted.
9) A short term rental needs credentialed access on the guest room doors instead of a turn button. What goes on those openings in place of the Schlage J40 Broadway?
The Schlage J40 Broadway is a non-electronic mechanical privacy set that locks by turn button. Where the opening has to be controlled by a credential instead, the Paxton PaxLock Pro Galaxy lever latch lock is a battery powered lever latch lock with a dual frequency reader at 13.56 MHz and 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth, AES128 encryption, ISED, UL and FCC listings, in white. Check the door before choosing: the PaxLock Pro Galaxy is specified for a 1-3/4 inch door thickness, while the J40 Broadway covers 1-3/8 inch through 1-3/4 inch, so a thinner 1-3/8 inch interior door takes the mechanical J40.
10) What finishes and rose styles does the Schlage J40 Broadway privacy lever come in?
Five finishes: 619 Satin Nickel, 622 Matte Black, 625 Bright Chrome, 626 Satin Chrome and 716 Aged Bronze. Each one is offered with either the Collins rose or the Kinsler rose, so the trim shape is a separate choice from the finish. That matters when you are matching existing openings in a building: pick the finish code off the lock you are replacing, then match the rose so the new lever reads the same from down the hall.
11) Is the Schlage J40 lever rated for a commercial corridor or an office suite?
It is residential-duty hardware. The J40 carries a Grade 2 rating with the ANSI/BHMA F77 designation and is catalogued for residential use, which suits bedrooms, baths, home offices and multi-family apartment interiors. If your drawing calls out a commercial cylindrical lock for a corridor or a public restroom, the traffic and the spec are heavier than this lock is built for, and you should be pricing a commercial Grade 1 bored lockset instead.
12) I need a lock for an exterior entry door, not a bathroom. What should I buy instead of a J40 privacy lever?
A privacy lever has no cylinder and no key, so it does not belong on an exterior door. For a front entry, a keyed handleset is the usual move: the Delaney Katana is a Grade 2 single cylinder handleset with interior trim, and the Bravura Savannah, Jacksonville and Austin handlesets are also Grade 2 single cylinder sets with an interior knob. Callan's Visconti and Briona handlesets are Grade 3 single cylinder sets if the opening is lighter duty. Within Schlage's own J Series, the keyed lever version is the J54.
13) What do I order for the closet and hall doors if I am using J40 privacy levers on the bedrooms?
Closets and halls take a passage function, which latches but does not lock. In the same Broadway design and trim, that is the J10-BRW-COL passage set, and J170-BRW-COL is the single dummy for a door with no latch at all, like a false or inactive leaf. If you are not tied to the Schlage look, the Emtek Select Brass Conical Stem Dark Walnut knob is a passage function set as well. Spec the privacy J40 only where someone needs to lock the door behind them, bedrooms and baths.
14) Which entry handleset has a lever on the inside so it operates the same way as the Broadway lever on the bedroom doors?
The Schlage J40 Broadway is a lever-operated lockset with the Broadway lever design, so the inside of the entry door reads and operates differently if it is fitted with a knob. Bravura's 973-Montgomery handleset pairs a 672 interior plate with a 939-Charlotte interior lever, giving lever operation on the inside face. The other Bravura Grade 2 handlesets - the 913-Savannah, the 915-Jacksonville, and the 971-Austin - are supplied with a 906-Macon interior knob instead. For a building standardizing on lever operation throughout, the 973-Montgomery is the one whose interior trim is a lever.
15) Would a Delaney single cylinder deadbolt give a bedroom door the same privacy as the Schlage J40 Broadway?
It works a different way. The Delaney Traditional 200-B and the Delaney Contemporary 200-LTR round deadbolt are Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolts with a cylinder by thumbturn function, meaning a key operates the outside and a thumbturn operates the inside, and a deadbolt bolts the door without latching it. The Schlage J40 Broadway is a Grade 2 cylindrical privacy set: it carries the 16-254 dual option spring latch and the 10-101 round corner full lip strike that hold the door closed, locks by turn button, and releases from the outside with a turn mechanism rather than a key. For a bed or bath door that must open from the hallway in an emergency without a key, that outside turn mechanism is the operating difference.
16) How does the Grade 2 rating on the Schlage J40 Broadway line up against Grade 3 residential locksets?
The Schlage J40 Broadway is certified Grade 2 under ANSI/BHMA and carries the F77 designation for its privacy function. Among comparable residential hardware, the Bravura 913-Savannah, 915-Jacksonville, 971-Austin and 973-Montgomery handlesets and the Delaney Katana (400-KA) handleset sit at the same Grade 2 tier. The Callan Visconti and Callan Briona single cylinder handlesets, the Delaney Avino (400-AV) handleset, and the Delaney Traditional 200-B and Contemporary 200-LTR deadbolts are certified Grade 3. Specifications that call out an ANSI/BHMA grade by number will name one tier or the other, so match the number on the drawing rather than the brand.
17) Can I use an electronic lever like the Paxton PaxLock on the same doors as the Schlage J40, or add a deadbolt above it?
Two different jobs. The J40 is a mechanical cylindrical lock with no electronics in it, so there is no reader, credential or battery in the package. The Paxton PaxLock Pro Galaxy lever is a battery powered 13.56 MHz and Bluetooth reader lock, and it is specified for 1-3/4 inch doors only, so it will not go on the 1-3/8 inch interior doors the J40 covers. For added security on an entry door, a deadbolt is a separate bore above the lock: the Delaney Traditional and Delaney Contemporary are Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolts, cylinder outside by thumbturn inside.
