Schlage Residential F40 AVA 605 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Schlage F40 privacy lever fit a 1-3/8 inch interior door?
Yes. The F40 privacy lockset covers a door thickness range of 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, so it works on both older interior doors at 1-3/8 and standard 1-3/4 inch doors without a shim kit or a spacer. It is non-handed, so the same lock goes on a left or right hand door with no parts to swap.
2) Do I have to order the Schlage F40 for a 2-3/8 or a 2-3/4 backset?
Neither, you order one lock. The F40 ships with a dual-option spring latch (Schlage 16-080) that adjusts to fit either a 2-3/8 or a 2-3/4 inch backset, which are the two standard bored-door backsets. That matters if you are buying for a building where the door prep is not consistent from opening to opening, since one part number covers both.
3) Can the F40 privacy lock be unlocked from the hallway side in an emergency?
Yes. Privacy function here is push-button locking on the inside, and the outside trim takes a small circular tool to release it, so a parent or a property manager can get into a bathroom or bedroom that has been locked. Turning the inside lever also pops the button. There is no key and no cylinder on this lock.
4) Will the Schlage F40 latch drop into the strike already in my door frame?
The F40 uses a 1/2 inch throw latch with a 1 x 2-1/4 inch faceplate and 1/4 inch radius corners, and it comes with a matching 1-5/8 x 2-1/4 inch full lip radius corner strike (Schlage 10-027). If your frame already has a radius corner strike of that size, the new latch lines up with no frame work. Square corner prep will need the frame mortise adjusted or the corners squared off. The strike ships without a box.
5) Is a Schlage F40 privacy lever rated well enough for apartment bedroom and bathroom doors in a rental building?
It is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.2-2017 Commercial Grade 2 and to ANSI/BHMA A156.39-2015 Residential Grade AAA, which is the top residential tier. Construction is zinc and steel. For multi-family bedroom and bath doors, where the traffic is tenant-level rather than public corridor, Grade 2 is the normal spec.
6) Can I use the Schlage F40 Avanti lever on a labeled fire door?
Not this one. The UL Listing for 3-hour fire door use on the F40 applies only to the CSV function, not to the standard F40 privacy set. On a labeled bedroom or corridor door in a hotel or assisted living facility you need the correct listed function, so specify F40 CSV rather than the standard privacy lever.
7) Can I replace an old Schlage F-Series knob with the F40 Avanti lever without redoing the door?
Yes, if the existing lock is an F-Series bored privacy set. The F40 shares the same F-Series cylindrical prep and the same dual-option latch fitting 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 backsets, so the bore and the latch mortise carry over. Going from knob to lever is a common ADA-driven swap in multi-family and assisted living, since a lever needs no grasping or twisting. Check that the existing strike is the radius corner type the 1-5/8 x 2-1/4 inch strike matches, or plan to swap the strike too.
8) For a guest room door that needs a credential-based lock rather than a push-button, what is used instead of the Schlage F40?
The Paxton PaxLock Pro Galaxy lever latch lock is a battery powered access control lever set with a dual frequency 13.56 MHz and 2.4 GHz reader, Bluetooth, AES128, and a 1-3/4 inch door thickness. It is the option when the opening needs cards or phone credentials and audit control. The Schlage F40 is a mechanical, non-electronic privacy lockset with push-button locking, fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. Hospitality and multi-family operators who want the room to lock from the inside without any credential stay with the F40; those managing access centrally specify the PaxLock Pro.
9) Can a passage set like the Emtek Select Brass Conical Stem Dark Walnut Knob be used on a bathroom or bedroom door instead of the Schlage F40?
No. The Emtek Select Brass Conical Stem Dark Walnut Knob is a passage/hall/closet function, which latches the door but does not lock. The Schlage F40 is a privacy/bed/bath function with push-button locking that can be opened from outside with a small circular tool, and turning the inside lever releases the button. For a bedroom or bathroom door that needs to secure from inside, the F40 carries the locking function; the Emtek passage knob is for doors that only need to stay closed, such as a hall or closet.
10) Is a Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolt such as the Delaney Traditional an alternative to the Schlage F40 privacy lever?
They do different jobs. The Delaney Traditional is a Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolt with a cylinder x thumbturn function, which means a key outside and a thumbturn inside, and it has no lever or latch operation. The Schlage F40 is a Grade 2 non-keyed cylindrical bored lockset with an Avanti lever and privacy push-button locking. A deadbolt is bored separately above the lockset and is used on entry doors; an interior bedroom or bathroom door prepped for a bored lockset takes the F40.
11) Should I use a privacy lever or a passage set on a bedroom door?
Privacy is the one you want anywhere the door needs to lock from the inside and never take a key: bedrooms, baths, home offices, guest rooms. The F40 does exactly that, with a push button inside and tool release outside. If the door only needs to latch and never lock, a passage set is the cheaper part and there is no button to break; the Emtek Select Brass Conical Stem Dark Walnut Knob is a passage function example. If the door has to be locked from the outside with a key, neither one works and you need a keyed entry lock instead.
12) Is the Schlage F40 a lever I can install with just a screwdriver, or do I need to drill the door?
On a door already bored for a cylindrical lockset, it is a screwdriver job, three steps. On a blank door you have to drill the cross bore and the latch bore first; the latch housing is 7/8 inch diameter and takes a circular drive-in as well as a faceplate mount, both included. Schlage publishes an F10/F40/F51 door prep template for marking it out.
13) Does the Schlage F40 privacy lever take a key, and can it be keyed alike with my other doors?
No key. The F40 privacy set is non-keyed, with no cylinder in it at all, so it cannot be brought into a keyed-alike or master key system. If you need a bedroom door on the building keyway, a privacy function is the wrong function and you should be looking at a keyed entry or classroom lock.
14) What is the difference between a Schlage F40 privacy lever and a handleset like the Bravura Savannah or Delaney Katana?
Different doors entirely. The F40 is a bored privacy lockset for an interior door, non-keyed, push-button only. Handlesets such as the Bravura 913-Savannah or the Delaney 400-KA Katana are single cylinder exterior entry sets, both Grade 2, with an exterior grip and a keyed cylinder for a front door. If someone hands you a bathroom door, the F40 is what goes on it; a handleset will not fit that opening or that function.
15) The Delaney Katana handleset is also Grade 2 - can it replace the Schlage F40 on an interior door?
The Delaney Katana is a Grade 2 single cylinder handleset with interior trim, which is an exterior keyed entry assembly with a full-length exterior plate. The Schlage F40 shares the Grade 2 rating but is a non-keyed privacy lockset with an Avanti lever on both sides. Matching grade does not mean matching function or door prep: use the Katana on a front or side entry door that takes a handleset, and the F40 on an interior bedroom, bathroom, or home office door that needs privacy locking.
16) If the exterior door of the same unit needs a lever rather than a knob on the inside, what pairs with a Schlage F40 on the interior doors?
The Bravura 973-Montgomery handleset comes with a 672 interior plate and a 939-Charlotte interior lever and is Grade 2, so the inside of the entry door presents a lever like the Avanti lever on the Grade 2 Schlage F40 privacy locks inside the unit. The Bravura 913-Savannah, 915-Jacksonville, and 971-Austin handlesets are also Grade 2 but carry the 906-Macon interior knob, so the inside trim is a knob rather than a lever. Property managers standardizing a unit on lever operation for accessibility typically pick the lever-trimmed handleset for the entry and the F40 for bedroom and bath doors.
17) What finishes does the Schlage F40 Avanti lever come in?
Two: 605 Bright Brass and 613 Oil Rubbed Bronze. Those are the BHMA finish codes, so if the rest of the doors in the building were specified as 605 or 613 the levers will read the same across the openings. There is no satin nickel or satin chrome option in the Avanti privacy configuration.
18) What is the difference between the Schlage F40 privacy lock and the Callan Visconti or Briona handlesets?
The Callan Visconti and Callan Briona are Grade 3 single cylinder handlesets with interior trim, keyed exterior assemblies for an entry door. The Schlage F40 is Grade 2 and non-keyed, a privacy lockset whose Avanti lever locks by push button from the inside. Buyers comparing them are usually comparing an entry opening against an interior one; the Callan handlesets serve the entry, the F40 serves bedroom, bath, and home office doors.
19) For a contemporary round-trim look on the same unit, how does the Delaney Contemporary deadbolt relate to the Schlage F40?
The Delaney Contemporary is a Grade 3 single cylinder round deadbolt with a cylinder x thumbturn function, used on the entry door alongside a handleset or knob. It does not replace the Schlage F40, which is a non-handed Grade 2 cylindrical privacy lockset with the Avanti lever for interior doors. The two occupy separate bores on separate doors, so a unit package commonly carries both rather than choosing between them.
