Schlage Residential F40 BEL 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Schlage F40 privacy knob fit a 1-3/8 inch interior door?
Yes. The F40 privacy lockset covers doors from 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, so it handles both older 1-3/8 inch interior doors and standard 1-3/4 inch stock without any extra parts. The latch is dual backset, so it also drops into a bore prepped at either 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches. Between the thickness range and the dual backset, one part number covers most bedroom and bath openings in a building.
2) Do I have to order a left or right hand version of the Schlage F40 knob?
No handing to specify. The F40 is non-handed, and the knob works the same on either swing. That is why it is a straightforward stock item for a property manager buying a case at a time for mixed openings.
3) Can a bathroom door with a Schlage F40 privacy lock be opened from outside in an emergency?
Yes. The F40 locks by push button on the inside knob and can be released from the corridor side with a small circular tool, which is what makes it acceptable for guest rooms, assisted living, and multifamily bathrooms where staff need to get in. Turning the inside knob also pops the button, so the occupant is never trapped by the lock. There is no key and no cylinder on this one.
4) Will the Schlage F40 latch into the strike plate already in my door frame?
Probably, if the existing prep is standard. The F40 ships with the 16-080 spring latch at 1/2 inch throw and a 10-027 full lip radius strike measuring 2-1/4 by 1-5/8 inches with radius corners and no box. If your frame currently has a radius corner strike of that size, the new one drops straight into the existing screw holes. Square corner preps and full box strikes will need the mortise adjusted or the supplied strike swapped.
5) Is the Schlage F40 privacy knob rated for commercial use in an apartment building or hotel?
It carries ANSI/BHMA A156.2-2017 Commercial Grade 2 along with A156.39-2015 Residential Grade AAA, and the ANSI function is F76. Grade 2 is the middle commercial tier, which suits multifamily units, guest rooms, and assisted living resident rooms. For a high traffic corridor or a back of house door in the same building, step up to a Grade 1 cylindrical lever instead of a residential knob.
6) Does the Schlage F40 come with a key, and can I key it to match my other doors?
No key, no cylinder. The F40 is the privacy function, which means push button only, and it cannot be keyed or added to a master key system. If you need a keyed opening on a bedroom or office door, you want a keyed entry function from the same F Series rather than the F40, and that is where the C keyway and keying alike comes into play.
7) Is the Emtek Select Brass Conical Stem Dark Walnut knob a substitute for the Schlage F40 bell knob?
No - they are different functions even though both are knobs. The Schlage F40 is a privacy/bed/bath lock: it has a push-button lock that can be released from outside with a small circular tool, and turning the inside knob releases the button. 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. Use the Emtek conical stem knob on a closet, hall, or pantry door; use the F40 where a bedroom or bathroom occupant needs to lock the door from inside.
8) What tools and hardware do I need to install a Schlage F40 knob, and is anything else required?
A screwdriver covers it. The F40 is a three step install with the latch, strike, and mounting screws all in the box, including the circular drive-in option on the 16-080 latch for a door with no faceplate mortise. Nothing else is required for a standard cylindrical prep. If the door has never been bored, you will need a 2-1/8 inch hole saw and edge bore, and Schlage publishes a door prep template for the F10, F40, and F51.
9) Should I use a knob or a lever for bathroom doors in an accessible unit?
A knob requires grasping and twisting, so for accessible units the lever is the usual call. The F40 bell knob is a knob design, and the F Series privacy function is also offered in lever trim if you need that instead. Emtek also builds knob trim, such as the Select Brass Conical Stem Dark Walnut Knob, but that one is a passage function with no locking at all, so it is not a substitute on a bath door.
10) What is the difference between the Schlage F40 privacy lock and a handleset or a deadbolt for the same door?
Different jobs entirely. The F40 is an interior privacy lockset, push button only, no key, for bedrooms and baths. A handleset like the Bravura 913-Savannah or the Delaney Katana is an exterior entry set, also Grade 2, built for the front door with an exterior grip and a keyed cylinder. A deadbolt such as the Delaney Traditional is Grade 3, cylinder outside and thumbturn inside, and it adds security to a door that already has a latching lock. Do not put a privacy knob on an exterior opening.
11) I need an access controlled lever instead of a mechanical privacy knob, what should I look at?
The F40 is purely mechanical with no electronics, so it will not work in a credentialed access scheme. The Paxton PaxLock Pro Galaxy lever latch lock is the battery powered alternative, with a dual frequency 13.56 MHz and 2.4 GHz reader, Bluetooth, AES128 encryption, and UL and FCC listing. It is built for a 1-3/4 inch door, so unlike the F40 it will not cover a 1-3/8 inch leaf.
12) Which privacy or entry options match the Schlage F40 Grade 2 rating if I am standardizing a multi-family building?
The F40 privacy lock is Grade 2 and certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.2-2017 Commercial Grade 2 and ANSI/BHMA A156.39-2015 Residential Grade AAA. Holding that grade across the unit, the Grade 2 options are the Delaney Katana single cylinder handleset with interior trim and the Bravura handlesets - the 913-Savannah, the 915-Jacksonville, and the 971-Austin, each with a 615 interior plate and 906-Macon interior knob, and the 973-Montgomery with a 672 interior plate and 939-Charlotte interior lever. The Callan Visconti, Callan Briona, and Delaney Avino handlesets are Grade 3, a different grade than the F40.
13) I need to add a lock to a door that already has a knob - is the Schlage F40 the right part or should I use a deadbolt?
It depends on which door. The F40 replaces the knob itself and carries the locking in the knob - push-button lock, released from outside with a small circular tool - which is what a bedroom or bathroom needs. If the existing knob is fine and you only want a separate lock on the door, a deadbolt is the part: the Delaney Traditional single cylinder deadbolt is Grade 3 and operates cylinder outside by thumbturn inside, and the Delaney Contemporary single cylinder round deadbolt is the same Grade 3 cylinder-by-thumbturn function in a round rose. Note that a keyed deadbolt is not a privacy function - it locks with a key, not a push button.
14) Can the Schlage F40 be used where the door needs credential access or an audit trail?
No - the F40 is a mechanical, non-electronic lockset with push-button privacy locking, so there is no credential or reader involved. For a door that needs electronic access control, the Paxton PaxLock Pro Galaxy lever latch lock is the part: it is battery powered with a dual frequency reader at 13.56 MHz and 2.4 GHz, supports Bluetooth and AES128, fits a 1-3/4 inch door thickness, and carries ISED, UL, and FCC listings. It is a lever rather than a knob, and its 1-3/4 inch door thickness sits at the top of the F40 range of 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, so verify the leaf before ordering.
15) What finishes does the Schlage F40 bell knob privacy lock come in?
Three: 605 bright brass, 609 antique brass, and 626 satin chrome. If you are matching existing hardware in a building, 626 satin chrome is the one that lines up with most modern commercial trim, while 605 and 609 suit older brass schemes. All three carry the same bell knob shape, so the feel and projection are consistent across a mixed finish floor.
16) What is the Schlage F40 knob made of, and will it hold up in a rental unit?
Zinc and steel through the substrate, carrying Grade 2 commercial and Grade AAA residential certification. That combination is what property managers buy for turnover units and resident rooms where the door gets daily use but is not a corridor door. It is a mechanical lock with no electronics, so there are no batteries to change and nothing to fail on a power drop.
17) The bedroom doors need knobs but the hall door needs a lever - what pairs with the Schlage F40 bell knob?
The F40 is a bell knob design, knob handle type, in a cylindrical bored lockset. If a lever is required on another opening in the same job, the Bravura 973-Montgomery handleset pairs a 672 interior plate with a 939-Charlotte interior lever and is Grade 2, matching the F40 grade. The Paxton PaxLock Pro is also a lever latch lock if that opening is electronic. Keep in mind the F40 is non-handed, so it drops into either swing without specifying hand.
