Schlage Residential F40 ACC 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Schlage F40 privacy lever fit a 1-3/8 inch interior door?
Yes. The F40 privacy lock covers 1-3/8 inch through 1-3/4 inch doors, so it works on older interior doors and on modern 1-3/4 inch slabs without a separate part number. The dual backset latch handles either a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, so you don't have to know which bore spacing the door was drilled to before you order.
2) Do I need to order a left hand or right hand version of the Schlage F40 Accent lever?
No handing to specify. The F40 Accent lever is non-handed, so one part covers both swings. That is the practical difference from a mortise lock, where you have to call the hand on the order. For a property manager buying a dozen of these for bedroom and bath doors, it means one line item regardless of which way each door swings.
3) How do you unlock a Schlage F40 privacy lever from the outside if someone is locked in the bathroom?
The F40 locks with a push button on the inside lever and releases from the hallway side with a small circular tool pushed into the outside lever hole. Turning the inside lever also pops the button, so it releases on the way out. There is no key and no cylinder in this lock at all, which is the point of a privacy function: it stops the door being opened casually, not deliberately.
4) Will the Schlage F40 latch into the strike plate already in my door frame?
Usually, but check the strike cutout before you commit. The 16-080 latch has a 1/2 inch throw with a 1 x 2-1/4 inch faceplate and 1/4 inch radius corners, and a 7/8 inch housing diameter. The 10-027 strike that comes with it is a full lip radius strike, 2-1/4 x 1-5/8 inch, with no box. If your frame has a square-corner strike or a deeper box strike, the supplied radius strike won't drop into that mortise and you'll want to reuse the frame's existing strike or re-mortise.
5) What do I have to choose when ordering a Schlage F40 Accent lever?
Two things: finish and rose. Finishes run 605 Bright Brass, 608 Satin Brass, 609 Antique Brass, 618 Bright Nickel, 619 Satin Nickel, 620 Antique Nickel, 621 Distressed Nickel, 622 Matte Black, 625 Bright Chrome, 626 Satin Chrome and 716 Aged Bronze. The rose (the plate behind the lever) comes as Addison, Brookshire, Camelot, Greenwich or Kinsler. The lever itself is Accent on all of them. Nothing else to specify, since the lock is non-handed and non-keyed and the latch covers both backsets.
6) What should I use on an entry door instead of a Schlage F40 privacy lever?
The Schlage F40 with Accent Lever is a non-keyed Privacy/Bed/Bath lockset, so it takes no key and belongs on interior bedroom and bathroom doors. For a keyed exterior opening, the handlesets in the same Grade 2 class are the Bravura 913-Savannah with 615 interior plate and 906-Macon interior knob, the Bravura 915-Jacksonville, the Bravura 971-Austin, the Bravura 973-Montgomery with 672 interior plate and 939-Charlotte interior lever, and the Delaney Katana single cylinder handleset with interior trim. Each of those is a single-unit exterior handleset rather than a bored privacy lockset, and the Bravura 973-Montgomery and Delaney Katana carry interior levers or trim if you want the lever feel of the Accent inside the house.
7) Is the Emtek Select Brass Conical Stem Dark Walnut Knob a substitute for a Schlage F40 Accent Lever on a bathroom door?
No. The Emtek Select Brass Conical Stem Dark Walnut Knob is a Passage/Hall/Closet function, so it latches the door but has no locking mechanism at all. The Schlage F40 with Accent Lever is a Privacy/Bed/Bath function with push-button locking that can be released from outside with a small circular tool, and turning the inside lever releases the button. On a bathroom or bedroom door that needs to lock, the Emtek passage knob is the wrong function; it is the right choice only for a hall or closet opening where no privacy is wanted. The other difference is the grip: the Emtek is a knob and the F40 here is an Accent Lever.
8) Grade 2 versus Grade 3 - which residential lock grade should I standardize on across an apartment building?
The Schlage F40 with Accent Lever is ANSI/BHMA Grade 2. Among the residential handlesets, the Delaney Katana single cylinder handleset with interior trim is also Grade 2, as are the Bravura Savannah, Jacksonville, Austin and Montgomery handlesets. The Grade 3 options are the Callan Visconti and Callan Briona single cylinder handlesets, the Delaney Avino handleset, and the Delaney Traditional and Delaney Contemporary single cylinder deadbolts. If a property standard calls for one grade throughout, pairing the Grade 2 F40 on interior bed and bath doors with the Grade 2 Bravura or Delaney Katana handlesets on unit entries keeps the whole building at a single grade; mixing in the Callan or Delaney Avino sets moves those openings to Grade 3.
9) We want credential access on some doors - is the Paxton PaxLock Pro an alternative to the Schlage F40 lever?
They are not interchangeable. The Paxton PaxLock Pro Galaxy lever latch lock is a battery powered electronic lock with a dual frequency 13.56 MHz and 2.4 GHz reader, Bluetooth and AES128, built for a 1-3/4 inch door thickness. The Schlage F40 with Accent Lever is a mechanical, non-electronic lockset with push-button privacy locking, and it fits doors from 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. On a multi-family or assisted living project the usual split is the PaxLock Pro where a credential and an audit trail are required, and the mechanical F40 on interior bed and bath doors inside the unit, where a card reader adds nothing. Note the door range difference: the PaxLock Pro is stated for 1-3/4 inch, so a thinner 1-3/8 inch interior door is inside the F40 range but not inside the Paxton figure.
10) Should I use a privacy lock or a passage set on a bedroom door?
Privacy is the right call anywhere the door needs to lock from inside but never needs a key: bedrooms, bathrooms, home offices, guest rooms. The F40 is that function, with push-button locking and an emergency release from the corridor side. If the door only needs to latch shut and never lock, a passage set like the Emtek Select Brass Conical Stem Dark Walnut Knob in passage function is the cheaper, simpler part. And if the door has to be secured against people outside the room, neither one is right; you want a keyed entry or a deadbolt.
11) What grade is the Schlage F40 privacy lever rated to?
Two ratings apply. The F40 carries ANSI/BHMA A156.2-2017 Commercial Grade 2 and ANSI/BHMA A156.39-2015 Residential Grade AAA, and the function code is F76. For a facility buyer standardizing across multi-family units or assisted living rooms, Grade 2 is the level that holds up to shared-corridor traffic rather than single-family use. Construction is zinc and steel.
12) Can I match the Schlage F40 privacy lever to the keyed entry locks already on my building's doors?
On appearance, yes. The Accent lever in the F Series shares the same lever and rose styling used across the family, so specifying the same finish (for example 619 Satin Nickel) and the same rose (Camelot, say) gives you a consistent look between a bath door running the F40 and entry doors running keyed F Series functions. Keying doesn't enter into it here, because the F40 has no cylinder.
13) What comes in the box with the Schlage F40 privacy lock, and what else do I need to buy?
Everything for the door itself: both lever trims, the 16-080 spring latch (supplied in both round face and circular drive-in form, so it fits a bored hole with or without a mortised faceplate) and the 10-027 full lip radius strike. Install is a three-step process needing only a screwdriver, assuming the door is already bored. On a blank slab you'll need the standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore and 1 inch edge bore cut first; the latch housing is 7/8 inch diameter.
14) Can I put the Schlage F40 on a labeled fire door?
The F40 is available UL Listed for 3-hour fire door use, but only in the CSV configuration; UL Listing on the F Series covers the F10, F40 (CSV only), F51A and F80 functions. So a bath door inside a rated corridor assembly needs the CSV version specified, not the standard F40. Bear in mind a privacy function is often not what a rated opening calls for in the first place, since the door normally has to latch and stay closed rather than lock from one side.
15) What's the difference between the Schlage F40 lever and a Grade 3 residential lockset?
Grade level and where it holds up. The F40 is Grade 2, which is the step above the Grade 3 sets aimed squarely at single-family use, such as the Callan Visconti and Callan Briona handlesets or the Delaney Traditional deadbolt. Among the Grade 2 peers we carry, the Bravura Savannah, Jacksonville, Austin and Montgomery handlesets and the Delaney Katana sit at the same grade, but those are all exterior handlesets, not interior privacy trim. For a landlord speccing bedroom and bath doors in rental units, the F40's Grade 2 rating is the one that matters, because turnover traffic wears out Grade 3 interior sets first.
16) Can a Delaney single cylinder deadbolt replace a Schlage F40 privacy lock?
No, they do different jobs. The Delaney Traditional and Delaney Contemporary single cylinder deadbolts are cylinder x thumbturn function, meaning a key outside and a thumbturn inside, and a deadbolt has no latch or handle to operate the door. The Schlage F40 with Accent Lever is a cylindrical bored lockset with a lever, a 16-080 spring latch and a 10-027 full lip radius strike, and its privacy function locks by push-button with no key involved. A deadbolt is an addition to a door that already has a latching handle, not a swap for one; and on a bedroom or bathroom door a keyed cylinder is generally not what you want in the first place.
17) The interior lever on my Bravura Montgomery handleset is a Charlotte - what do I put on the bedroom doors to match?
The Bravura 973-Montgomery handleset carries a 672 interior plate and a 939-Charlotte interior lever on the inside face of the entry door. For the interior bed and bath doors behind it, the Schlage F40 is a lever-style privacy lockset with the Accent Lever, so the hand meets a lever at both the entry and the bedroom. The F40 Accent Lever comes in finishes including 605 bright brass, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black and 626 satin chrome, and in Addison, Brookshire, Camelot, Greenwich and Kinsler rose designs, so the trim shape and finish can be selected to sit alongside the Montgomery interior trim. The Bravura Savannah, Jacksonville and Austin handlesets instead carry a 906-Macon interior knob, so those pair a knob at the entry with the F40 lever inside.
18) Is the Schlage F40 an electronic or smart lock?
No, the F40 is a purely mechanical cylindrical lockset. It has no reader, no battery and no credential. If the requirement is access control on a lever, that is a different product entirely: the Paxton PaxLock Pro Galaxy lever latch lock is battery powered with a dual frequency 13.56 MHz and 2.4 GHz reader and Bluetooth, and it is built for 1-3/4 inch doors only.
19) Is a Callan Briona or Visconti handleset an option for interior privacy doors?
The Callan Briona and Callan Visconti are single cylinder handlesets with interior trim, built as keyed exterior entry sets and rated Grade 3. A privacy opening needs a non-keyed push-button function, which is what the Schlage F40 with Accent Lever provides, and the F40 is Grade 2. Use the Callan sets at the keyed entry door and keep the F40 for the bedroom and bathroom doors; the two are not competing for the same opening. Both Callan sets are also handleset-format assemblies rather than bored cylindrical locksets, so the door prep differs from the F40 dual backset bored prep.
