Schlage Residential F40 VLA 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Schlage F40 Avila privacy lever fit a 2-3/8 inch backset, or do I need to order the 2-3/4 version?
One part covers both. The F40 privacy set ships with a dual backset latch that adjusts to either 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches, so you don't pick a backset when you order. That matters on a building where the older doors were bored at 2-3/4 and newer replacement slabs came through at 2-3/8, you stock one lock for both.
2) What door thickness does the Schlage F40 lever lock work on?
1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, which covers both the standard 1-3/4 inch commercial slab and the thinner 1-3/8 inch interior doors common in older residential and multi-family stock. No spacer kit or thickness option to specify, the range is built in.
3) Does the Schlage F40 Avila lever need to be ordered left or right hand?
Non-handed. The Avila lever privacy set installs on either a left or right hand door without reversing anything, so you order by finish and rose design only and one lock fits every bedroom and bath door on the floor regardless of swing.
4) Can a bathroom door with a Schlage F40 privacy lock be opened from the outside in an emergency?
Yes. The F40 is a push-button privacy function, locked from the inside by pressing the button, and released from the outside with a small circular tool through the outside lever. Turning the inside lever also pops the button, so it unlocks on the way out. There is no key and no cylinder on this one, which is what you want on a bath or bedroom door and what makes it wrong for an entry or a closet you need keyed.
5) Will the Schlage F40 latch into the strike already in my door frame?
The F40 comes with a 1 x 2-1/4 inch latch with a 1/2 inch throw and a 10-027 full lip radius strike measuring 2-1/4 x 1-5/8 inches with radius corners and no box. If your existing frame prep is a standard radius corner strike cutout of that size, the supplied strike drops straight in. Square corner prep will need the corners dressed or a square strike substituted. The latch faceplate has 1/4 inch radius corners and a 7/8 inch housing diameter, and a circular drive-in collar is in the box if the frame edge is bored rather than mortised.
6) Can I use the Schlage F40 privacy lock on a fire rated door?
Only the CSV variant of the F40 carries the UL Listing for 3-hour fire doors. The standard F40 privacy set is not the one to put in a rated opening. Within the F Series, F10, F51A and F80 are UL Listed for 3-hour fire door use without that restriction. If the door has a label on the hinge edge, specify accordingly.
7) Is the Paxton PaxLock Pro Galaxy lever an alternative to the Schlage F40 Avila lever?
They solve different problems. 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, credential-controlled access, and it is specified for 1-3/4 inch door thickness. The Schlage F40 Avila is a mechanical, non-electronic privacy lever with push-button locking and no credential or access control, and it fits doors from 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. Where the opening needs audit trail and managed credentials, the PaxLock Pro is the lever to use; where the door simply needs to be secured from the inside by the occupant, the F40 Avila is the mechanical answer and covers the thinner 1-3/8 inch doors as well.
8) Is the Emtek Select Brass Conical Stem Dark Walnut Knob a substitute for a Schlage F40 Avila lever on a bathroom door?
No. The Schlage F40 Avila is a privacy/bed/bath function lock with push-button locking that can be opened from outside with a small circular tool and released by turning the inside lever. The Emtek Select Brass Conical Stem Dark Walnut Knob is a passage/hall/closet function, which latches the door but does not lock at all. For a bathroom or bedroom where the occupant needs to secure the door, the privacy function is the one that does the job; the Emtek passage knob suits a closet, laundry, or hall opening where no locking is wanted. They are also different handle types - the F40 Avila is a lever, the Emtek is a knob.
9) The F40 Avila privacy lever is for the bedroom doors - what handles the unit entry door at the same Grade 2 level?
The Delaney Katana single cylinder handleset with interior trim is a Grade 2 handleset, matching the Grade 2 rating of the Schlage F40 Avila privacy lock. That pairing lets a multi-family or hospitality spec hold one grade across the unit: Katana on the entry, F40 Avila on the bedroom and bath doors. The F40 Avila is non-keyed and privacy function, so it is not an entry lock and does not replace the handleset; the two cover different openings in the same unit.
10) Is the Schlage F40 privacy lever strong enough for apartment turnover or a hospitality guest room?
It is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.2-2017 Commercial Grade 2 as well as A156.39-2015 Residential Grade AAA, built on a zinc and steel substrate. Grade 2 is the middle commercial cycle and strength tier, above the Grade 3 residential level, so it holds up in multi-family bed and bath openings and assisted living or guest room use where a builder-grade set gets replaced every couple of years.
11) What finishes and rose styles does the Schlage F40 Avila lever come in?
Six finishes, each offered with any of three rose designs: 605 Bright Brass, 609 Antique Brass, 619 Satin Nickel, 625 Bright Chrome, 626 Satin Chrome and 716 Aged Bronze, in Alden, Addison or Camelot rose. The rose is the trim plate behind the lever, so that choice is what makes the privacy set match the keyed entry and passage sets already on the other doors, pick the rose to match first and the finish second.
12) Do I need a key for a Schlage F40, or should I be looking at a different F Series function?
The F40 has no cylinder and takes no key, it is strictly a bed and bath privacy function. If the opening needs to be keyed, the F40 is the wrong function and you want a keyed entry or a deadbolt instead. Use the F40 only where a push button and an emergency release are what the door calls for.
13) What tools and prep does it take to install a Schlage F40 lever set?
A screwdriver, on a door already bored for a standard cylindrical lockset. The F40 is a bored cylindrical lock, so it goes into a standard cross bore with an edge bore for the latch, and the dual backset latch means you do not have to confirm which backset the door was drilled at before you go out to the job. Latch, drive-in collar and the 10-027 strike are all in the box.
14) Can a Delaney single cylinder deadbolt be used in place of an F40 Avila privacy lever?
No - they are not the same kind of device. The Delaney Traditional 200-B and the Delaney Contemporary 200-LTR are Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolts with a cylinder outside and thumbturn inside; a deadbolt has no latch operated by a handle, so the door still needs a lever or knob to latch and open it. The Schlage F40 Avila is a cylindrical bored lockset with a lever on both sides and push-button privacy locking, supplied with the 16-080 spring latch and 10-027 full lip radius strike. On a bathroom or bedroom door the F40 Avila is the complete solution; a deadbolt is an addition to a handle set, not a replacement for one.
15) What should go on the front door if the Schlage F40 Avila is going on the interior doors?
Handlesets are the exterior counterpart, and several are Grade 2 like the F40 Avila: the Bravura 913-Savannah, 915-Jacksonville and 971-Austin handlesets each pair a 615 interior plate with a 906-Macon interior knob, and the Bravura 973-Montgomery pairs a 672 interior plate with a 939-Charlotte interior lever. If the interior doors are getting the Avila lever, the 973-Montgomery keeps a lever on the inside of the entry as well, while the Savannah, Jacksonville and Austin put a knob there. The F40 Avila itself is non-keyed privacy function and is not intended for an exterior opening.
16) Is there a Grade 2 alternative to the Schlage F40 if I want a handleset instead of a lever?
For an entry opening rather than a bath or bedroom, the Bravura 973-Montgomery handleset pairs a 672 interior plate with a 939-Charlotte interior lever and is also Grade 2, as is the Delaney Katana single cylinder handleset. Both are handlesets for exterior doors, so they solve a different problem than the F40 privacy lever. Callan's Visconti and Briona handlesets are Grade 3, a step down in the cycle tier from the F40.
17) I need a passage set to match a privacy lever on the same hallway, what pairs with it?
The F40 is privacy only, it locks. For the closet and hall doors that should latch but never lock, you need a passage function set. Emtek's Select Brass Conical Stem Dark Walnut knob is a passage set if the job wants a wood knob look. If the goal is a matched suite across bed, bath and hall, stay within the F Series and pick the matching passage function in the same Avila lever and rose design rather than mixing brands.
18) For a rental turn where the interior doors take a privacy lever and the entry takes a handleset, what are the Grade 3 handleset options versus the Grade 2 ones?
The Callan Visconti and Callan Briona single cylinder handlesets with interior trim are Grade 3, as is the Delaney Avino single cylinder handleset with interior trim. The Delaney Katana handleset and the Bravura Savannah, Jacksonville, Austin and Montgomery handlesets are Grade 2, the same grade as the Schlage F40 Avila privacy lever going on the interior doors. Property managers standardizing a whole building on one grade will want the entry hardware to match the interior grade; where the entry and interior are specified separately, the Grade 3 Callan and Avino handlesets are the lighter-duty tier.
