Schlage Residential F40 ELA 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Schlage F40 Elan privacy lever fit a 1-3/8 inch bathroom door, or is it only for 1-3/4 inch doors?
Both. The F40 Elan lever is rated for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick, so it covers the thinner interior doors common in older houses as well as standard 1-3/4 inch stock. The latch is a universal dual-backset type, meaning the same lock works whether the hole in your door is bored 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches back from the edge. There is no separate part to specify for either thickness or either backset.
2) I'm replacing an old privacy knob on a bathroom door. Will the Schlage F40 Elan lever drop into the existing holes?
In most cases it will. The F40 is a cylindrical bored lockset sized for the standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore, with a 7/8 inch latch housing diameter in the door edge, and it accepts either a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, so it lands on the prep an existing privacy knob left behind. The latch ships both ways, a circular drive-in housing and a 1 x 2-1/4 inch faceplate with 1/4 inch radius corners, so it suits either style of edge mortise. Latchbolt throw is 1/2 inch into a 1-5/8 x 2-1/4 inch full lip radius strike, which is included.
3) If someone locks the bathroom door from the inside, how do you get a Schlage F40 open from the hallway?
There is an emergency release from outside. The F40 privacy function locks with a push button on the inside lever, and from the corridor side it opens with a small circular tool. From inside, turning the lever releases the button on its own, so no one has to remember to unlock it before leaving. That is the combination that makes it a workable specification for student housing, care facilities and guest rooms where staff need a way in without a key.
4) Can the Schlage F40 Elan lever be keyed for a front door or apartment entry?
No. The F40 is a non-keyed privacy set, bed and bath function only, with a push button inside and no cylinder anywhere in it. It is not an entry lock and cannot be made into one. For a keyed exterior door, look at a Grade 2 handleset such as the Delaney Katana single cylinder handleset with interior trim or the Bravura 973-Montgomery with the 672 interior plate and 939-Charlotte interior lever. If the door already has a passage or privacy set and you just need security, the Delaney Traditional Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolt, cylinder by thumbturn, adds it above the existing lock.
5) The Schlage F40 Elan lever is going on the bedroom doors of a unit. What keyed handleset should go on the entry door of that same unit?
The F40 Elan is non-keyed. Its privacy function is push-button locking from the inside, with the button released by turning the inside lever or by a small circular tool from the outside, so it belongs on bedroom and bath doors rather than an entry. For the entry, single cylinder handlesets at the same Grade 2 rating as the F40 include the Bravura 913-Savannah, the Bravura 915-Jacksonville and the Bravura 971-Austin, each supplied with a 615 interior plate and a 906-Macon interior knob, the Bravura 973-Montgomery with a 672 interior plate and a 939-Charlotte interior lever, and the Delaney Katana single cylinder handleset with interior trim. If the interior trim needs to stay a lever to match the Elan lever inside the unit, the 973-Montgomery is the one of those four Bravura sets that comes with a lever on the inside.
6) Can an Emtek Select Brass Conical Stem Dark Walnut knob be used on a bathroom door in place of a Schlage F40 Elan?
No. The Emtek Select Brass Conical Stem Dark Walnut knob is a passage function, hall and closet type - it latches the door shut but has no locking mechanism. The Schlage F40 Elan is a privacy, bed and bath function: the inside has a push-button that locks the door, turning the inside lever releases it, and a small circular tool opens it from the outside in an emergency. The two also differ in trim - the Emtek is a knob, the F40 is the Elan lever. Put the Emtek passage knob on a closet, pantry or hall door where the door only needs to stay closed, and the F40 Elan where the occupant needs to lock the door behind them.
7) Is the Schlage F40 Elan lever handed? I need one for a right hand bathroom door.
Non-handed. A single F40 Elan works on a left or right hand door, with the lever direction set at installation rather than ordered. For anyone buying across a building that matters more than it sounds: one part number covers every bedroom and bath door regardless of which way it swings, so there is no hand to get wrong on the order and no wrong-hand returns.
8) Can a Schlage F40 privacy lever with the Elan design go on a fire rated door?
Not in this trim. The UL listing for a 3-hour fire door on the F function locks covers the F10, F51A and F80 functions, and the F40 only in its CSV configuration. The Elan lever version is not the one that carries that listing, so do not schedule it on a labeled opening. For a bedroom or bath door that is not fire rated, which is the usual privacy application, this is a non-issue.
9) What is the difference between a privacy lever like the Schlage F40 and a passage lever for a hall or closet door?
Privacy locks, passage does not. The F40 has the push button on the inside lever plus the outside emergency release, which is what a bedroom, bathroom or home office door needs. A closet, hallway or pantry door needs no lock at all, so a passage set like the Emtek Select Brass Conical Stem Dark Walnut knob in passage function is the right call there: it latches the door shut and turns from either side with nothing to lock. Putting privacy hardware on a utility or closet door just hands a resident a way to lock a door that should never be locked.
10) What finishes does the Schlage F40 Elan lever come in? I need to match hardware already on the other doors.
Seven BHMA finishes, all on the Elan lever: 605 bright brass, 609 antique brass, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome and 716 aged bronze. Those are the standard BHMA finish codes, so 626 satin chrome and 619 satin nickel will read against the codes on the schedule for the rest of the building rather than a brand-specific color name. If the existing doors were specified by number rather than by look, match the number.
11) Is a Grade 2 privacy lever enough for bathroom doors in an apartment building or student housing?
Grade 2 is the middle ANSI/BHMA tier and it is the right level for multi-family bed and bath doors. The F40 is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.2-2017 Commercial Grade 2 and to A156.39-2015 Residential Grade AAA, the top residential tier, on a zinc and steel substrate. Grade 3 hardware, which is where a lot of residential product sits, is tested to lower cycle and strength thresholds and is aimed at single family use; among the alternatives, the Callan Visconti and Briona handlesets and the Delaney Traditional and Contemporary deadbolts are Grade 3, while the Bravura Savannah, Jacksonville, Austin and Montgomery handlesets are Grade 2.
12) Does the Schlage F40 come with the latch and strike, or do those get ordered separately?
Both are included. You get the 16-080 dual-option spring latch, which works as a round drive-in or with the faceplate, and the 10-027 full lip radius corner strike measuring 2-1/4 by 1-5/8 inches. Because the latch handles both 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inch backsets, you do not need to know which prep the door has before the lock arrives. Install is a screwdriver job on a door that is already bored. One thing to note for metal frames: the supplied strike ships without a box behind it.
13) Which cross-brand door hardware carries the same Grade 2 rating as the Schlage F40 Elan, and which is Grade 3?
The Schlage F40 Elan is rated Grade 2. Also at Grade 2 are the Bravura 913-Savannah, Bravura 915-Jacksonville and Bravura 971-Austin handlesets, the Bravura 973-Montgomery handleset, and the Delaney Katana single cylinder handleset with interior trim. At Grade 3 are the Callan Visconti and Callan Briona single cylinder handlesets, the Delaney Avino single cylinder handleset, and the Delaney Traditional and Delaney Contemporary single cylinder deadbolts. If a facility spec calls out Grade 2 across the openings, the Bravura sets and the Delaney Katana are the ones that meet it alongside the F40 Elan.
14) The F40 Elan covers privacy on the sleeping rooms, but a suite door needs credential-based access. What lever lock does that instead?
The Schlage F40 Elan is a mechanical lock with no electronic component - it locks with a push-button and releases with the inside lever or a small circular tool, with no reader and no credential. Where the opening needs credentialed access on a lever, the Paxton PaxLock Pro Galaxy lever latch lock is battery powered with a dual frequency reader at 13.56 MHz and 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth, AES128 encryption, and ISED, UL and FCC listings. Check the door before ordering: the PaxLock Pro Galaxy is specified for a 1-3/4 in door thickness, while the F40 Elan covers 1-3/8 in to 1-3/4 in, so a 1-3/8 in door takes the F40 but not the PaxLock.
15) Can a Delaney single cylinder deadbolt be used instead of the Schlage F40 Elan?
They are not interchangeable. The F40 Elan is a cylindrical lockset - it carries the latch and the operating lever, so it is what opens and closes the door, and it ships with the 16-080 dual option spring latch and the 10-027 full lip radius strike. The Delaney Traditional and the Delaney Contemporary single cylinder round deadbolts are Grade 3 and are cylinder by thumbturn: key on the outside, thumbturn on the inside, and no handle to work the door. A deadbolt is what you add above a lockset on an entry when you want a keyed second point of security, not what you fit to a bedroom or bath door in place of the F40 Elan.
16) We are standardizing on levers rather than knobs across a multi-family building. Which alternatives to the Schlage F40 Elan come with lever trim?
The F40 Elan is a lever, using the Elan lever design, so it fits a lever standard directly. Among the cross-brand options, the Bravura 973-Montgomery handleset comes with a 939-Charlotte interior lever, and the Paxton PaxLock Pro Galaxy is a lever latch lock. The Bravura 913-Savannah, 915-Jacksonville and 971-Austin handlesets are all supplied with a 906-Macon interior knob, and the Emtek Select Brass Conical Stem Dark Walnut is a knob, so those three Bravura sets and the Emtek would break a lever-only standard on the interior side.
17) What ANSI function number is the Schlage F40 for a hardware schedule?
F76, the ANSI/BHMA privacy bed and bath function. On a schedule it writes up as a cylindrical, non-keyed privacy lockset: push button on the inside lever, emergency release from the outside with a small tool, and the inside lever releases the button when turned. Schlage's own designation for it is the F40, in the Elan lever design.
18) Is there an electronic version of this lever, or something with credentials for doors we need to control access to?
The F40 is purely mechanical. No electronics, no credential, no audit trail, no remote lockout, which is exactly right for a bathroom or bedroom door and wrong for anything you need to control entry to. Where a door does need access control, the Paxton PaxLock Pro Galaxy lever latch lock is a battery powered lever with a dual frequency reader, 13.56 MHz and 2.4 GHz with Bluetooth and AES128 encryption. Watch the door: the PaxLock Pro is specified for 1-3/4 inch doors, while the F40 spans 1-3/8 to 1-3/4, so a thinner interior door rules the electronic option out.
