Schlage Residential F170 VLA 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does a Schlage F170 half dummy lever actually do, and is there a latch in the box?
The F170 Avila is a half dummy: a single lever on one face of the door with no latch, no spindle through the door, and nothing that retracts. It's a pull. Both levers always unlocked is the F Series function description, and the F170 is the non-keyed, non-latching version of it. If you need the door to actually stay shut, you want a passage set with a latch instead, not a dummy.
2) Do I need to drill a backset or bore the door for a Schlage F170 dummy lever?
No bore and no backset to lay out. A half dummy mounts to the door face with screws, so the 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inch backset options that apply to the working F Series locks are irrelevant here. That also means it goes on a door too thin, too thick, or too narrow for a bored lock, and on a slab that already has a filled bore.
3) Does the Schlage F170 dummy lever need to be ordered left or right hand?
Non-handed, so one part number covers both swings. On a pair of doors or a set of closet doors you can order the same item for every leaf and decide at install which face the lever lands on.
4) Will a Schlage F170 Avila lever match the F Series levers already on my other doors?
The Avila lever and the rose are the visible parts, and both carry across the F Series line, so an F170 dummy on a closet or a French door pair reads the same as a keyed or passage Avila set beside it. Match on two things when you order: the lever design (Avila) and the rose (Alden, Addison, or Camelot), then the finish. Getting the rose wrong is the usual reason a dummy looks slightly off next to its neighbour.
5) I need a lever on an inactive French door leaf. Is the F170 half dummy the right part, or do I need a full dummy?
For an inactive leaf you pull from one side only, the F170 half dummy is the correct part. It gives you a lever on that single face. If the door is a pass-through you grab from both sides, a double or full dummy is what you want instead, since the half dummy supplies trim on one face only.
6) The closet door has a lever that doesn't turn and I want to replace it with the same thing. Is this it?
A lever that doesn't turn and has no keyhole is a dummy, and the F170 is the Schlage F Series version of that. To land on a true match, check the lever shape against Avila and the round backplate against Alden, Addison or Camelot, then the finish. If the existing lever does turn, even a little, it's a passage set and the dummy will leave you with a door that no longer holds shut.
7) What is the difference between a Schlage F170 Avila lever half dummy and an Emtek Select Brass Conical Stem Dark Walnut passage knob?
They solve different problems on the door. The F170 Avila is a dummy lever - both levers are always unlocked and there is no working latch behind them, so the lever is surface-mounted trim that gives a hand-pull and a matching look. The Emtek Select Brass Conical Stem Dark Walnut knob is a passage/hall/closet function, which means it carries a live latch that retracts when the knob is turned and holds the door closed. If the opening needs to stay shut on its own - a closet door with no ball catch, a hall door that swings - the passage function is what does that work. If the door is already held by a roller catch, a magnetic catch, or is the inactive leaf of a pair, the dummy is what belongs there. Note also the operator style: the F170 is a lever, the Emtek is a knob, so they will not read as a set on adjacent doors.
8) I need hardware for an exterior entry door, not an interior closet - what should I use instead of the Schlage F170 Avila half dummy?
The F170 Avila is non-keyed with both levers always unlocked, which is interior trim, not entry hardware. For a keyed exterior opening, single cylinder handlesets cover the same doors: the Bravura 913-Savannah and 915-Jacksonville handlesets both come with a 615 interior plate and 906-Macon interior knob and are Grade 2, the Bravura 973-Montgomery handleset pairs a 672 interior plate with a 939-Charlotte interior lever at Grade 2, and the Delaney Katana single cylinder handleset with interior trim is also Grade 2. If you want the interior side to be a lever rather than a knob so it matches lever trim elsewhere in the unit, the 973-Montgomery is the one in that group that ships a lever inside.
9) We are adding access control to some doors - is the Schlage F170 Avila lever an option, or do we need something else?
The F170 Avila is a mechanical, non-electronic dummy lever: both levers always unlocked, no credential reader, no latch. For a credentialed opening you need a different device, such as the Paxton PaxLock Pro Galaxy lever latch lock, which is a battery powered lever latch lock with a dual frequency reader at 13.56 MHz and 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth, AES128 encryption, and ISED, UL and FCC listings, built for 1-3/4 inch door thickness. Watch the door thickness when you mix the two across a floor: the F170 Avila covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, so an opening at the thin end of that range takes the Avila but not the PaxLock Pro. A common split is the electronic lock on the controlled entries and dummy levers on the closet and inactive leaves so the lever look stays consistent.
10) What finishes and rose styles does the Schlage F170 Avila half dummy come in?
Six finishes: 605 bright brass, 609 antique brass, 619 satin nickel, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome and 716 aged bronze. Each comes with a choice of Alden, Addison or Camelot rose. Eighteen combinations in total, so every finish is available on every rose. On a rekey or refresh job, 626 satin chrome and 619 satin nickel are the two that most often sit next to existing commercial-look trim.
11) Can I key a Schlage F170 dummy lever into my building's keyway?
There is no cylinder in an F170 and no way to add one. It's a non-keyed dummy. If you need a locking or keyed opening on that door, go to a keyed F Series lock in the same Avila lever and rose so the keyed and dummy openings still match visually.
12) What else do I need to order with a Schlage F170 half dummy to finish the door?
Just the dummy and a screwdriver. There's no latch to buy, no strike to mortise into the jamb, and no cylinder to source, because the function is trim only. On an inactive French door leaf the usual companion parts are flush bolts or a surface bolt to hold the leaf shut, since the dummy does none of that.
13) What Grade is the Schlage F170 rated to?
Grade 2. Worth knowing what that covers on a dummy: grade testing measures latch and lock performance, and a half dummy has neither, so the practical meaning here is the F Series trim and finish standard rather than any cycle or strength figure for this particular part. For an MRO spec that calls for a graded lock on the opening, a dummy will not satisfy it, because the opening has no lock.
14) What else could I use instead of a Schlage Avila dummy lever for interior closet and pantry doors?
For non-locking interior trim in a different look, the Emtek Select Brass Conical Stem Dark Walnut knob in passage function is the closest alternative we stock, though that's a working passage set with a latch rather than a dummy, so it needs a bored door. If your opening is an entry door rather than an interior one, none of the dummy or passage options apply and you're into handlesets: Bravura's Savannah, Jacksonville, Austin and Montgomery are Grade 2, Delaney's Katana is Grade 2, and Delaney's Avino plus Callan's Visconti and Briona are Grade 3.
15) Can a Delaney single cylinder deadbolt replace a Schlage F170 Avila half dummy lever?
No - they do different jobs and a deadbolt will not give the door a pull. The Delaney Traditional and Delaney Contemporary round deadbolts are both Grade 3 and both cylinder x thumbturn, meaning key outside and thumbturn inside, mounted in the deadbolt bore above the lockset bore. The F170 Avila is a non-keyed dummy lever with both levers always unlocked, mounted in the lockset bore for appearance and grip. On an entry door that gets both, they stack rather than substitute - though on that kind of opening the lower bore usually wants a keyed or latching lockset rather than a dummy.
16) How does the Schlage F170 Avila compare to Callan Visconti and Briona hardware on grade?
The Schlage F170 Avila lever half dummy carries a Grade 2 rating. The Callan Visconti and Callan Briona single cylinder handlesets with interior trim are both Grade 3. Grade is an ANSI/BHMA cycle and strength classification, so on a specifying job where the drawing calls out a grade, the F170 Avila and the Grade 3 Callan sets answer different callouts. The Callan units are also keyed single cylinder handlesets for entry doors, while the F170 Avila is non-keyed dummy trim, so grade is only one of the differences between them.
17) I want the interior lever look to match across a set of doors - which handleset pairs with a lever inside rather than a knob?
The Schlage F170 Avila is a lever, in the Avila lever design, and is non-handed so it works on any swing. Among the Grade 2 handlesets, the Bravura 973-Montgomery is the one that comes with a 672 interior plate and a 939-Charlotte interior lever, so the inside operator is a lever like the Avila. The Bravura 913-Savannah, 915-Jacksonville and 971-Austin handlesets all come with the 615 interior plate and the 906-Macon interior knob, which puts a knob on the inside face. If the requirement is lever operation throughout - for ADA-minded standardization or just a consistent look down a corridor - that difference in interior trim is the one to check before ordering.
18) Which Delaney handleset matches the Grade 2 rating of the Schlage F170 Avila?
The Delaney Katana single cylinder handleset with interior trim is Grade 2, the same grade the F170 Avila carries. The other Delaney handleset in the family, the Delaney Avino single cylinder handleset with interior trim, is Grade 3. If a spec sheet holds every piece of door hardware on the job to Grade 2, the Katana is the Delaney handleset that meets it alongside the F170 Avila. Keep in mind the Katana is a keyed single cylinder entry set and the F170 Avila is non-keyed dummy trim, so they are graded alike but functionally different pieces.
19) What is the Schlage F170 dummy lever made of, and will it hold up in a rental unit?
Zinc and steel substrate. Since a dummy has no latch, no cylinder and no moving trim, there's nothing inside it to wear out from cycling. What fails on these in a rental is the mounting screws working loose from people hauling on a closet door, so set it into solid stile material and check it at turn.
20) Is the Schlage F170 an electronic or smart lock?
Purely mechanical trim. No battery, no reader, no wiring. If you're after an access-controlled lever on that opening, the Paxton PaxLock Pro Galaxy lever latch lock is the battery-powered credential reader option we carry, sized for a 1-3/4 inch door. Very different part and a very different install.
