Schlage Residential F40 FLA 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Schlage F40 privacy lever fit a 1-3/8 inch interior door, or is it 1-3/4 only?
Both. The F40 Flair Lever privacy set covers a door thickness range of 1-3/8 inches to 1-3/4 inches, so it works on older interior doors and standard modern ones without any extra kit. The included 16-080 latch is a dual-backset latch that fits either a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, so the existing bore centerline on the door is covered either way.
2) Do I have to order the Schlage F40 left hand or right hand?
No handing to specify. The F40 privacy lever is non-handed, so one part number covers a left or right swinging door. Pick the finish and the rose design and you are done.
3) How does the F40 push button privacy lock get opened if someone is locked in the bathroom?
From the outside, a small circular tool goes into the hole in the outside lever and releases the button. From inside, simply turning the lever pops the button back out, so the room never traps anyone. That emergency release is the reason this function is specified for bedroom and bath doors instead of a keyed lock.
4) Will the F40 latch line up with the strike plate already mortised into my door frame?
The F40 ships with the 10-027 full lip radius strike, 2-1/4 by 1-5/8 inches with radius corners and no box. If your frame already has a radius corner strike cut of that size, the new one drops straight into the existing mortise. Square corner preps will need the corners squared off or the existing strike reused. The latch faceplate is 1 by 2-1/4 inches with 1/4 inch radius corners, 7/8 inch housing diameter and a 1/2 inch throw, and a circular drive-in collar is in the box for doors bored without a faceplate mortise.
5) Is the Schlage F40 privacy lock keyed, and can it be keyed alike with the rest of the doors?
Non-keyed. The F40 privacy function has no cylinder at all, just the push button inside and the tool hole outside, so it cannot be keyed or added to a keyed-alike group. For a unit that needs a key, you want a keyed F Series function instead and the privacy set stays on the bed and bath doors.
6) Is the Schlage F40 with Flair lever tough enough for apartment turns and assisted living doors?
It carries ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 and is certified to A156.2-2017 Commercial Grade 2 and A156.39-2015 Residential Grade AAA, which is the top residential tier. Body is zinc and steel. For multi-family bedroom and bath doors, guest rooms, and assisted living units that is the durability tier property managers standardize on. It is a residential-line lockset, so a high-traffic commercial corridor or classroom opening wants a Grade 1 commercial cylindrical lock instead.
7) Can I use the Schlage F40 privacy lever on a fire rated bedroom door?
Only in the drive-in latch configuration. The F Series is UL Listed for 3-hour fire doors in the F10, F51A and F80 functions, and in the F40 only as CSV. If your opening is a rated door, confirm the assembly you are ordering is the CSV version of the F40; a standard F40 is not the part for a rated opening.
8) Privacy lever versus a passage lever or a deadbolt for a bedroom door, which one do I actually need?
A bedroom or bath door that needs to lock from inside but never needs a key takes the privacy function, which is what the F40 is: push button inside, emergency tool release outside. If the door only needs to latch and never lock, a passage set like the Emtek Select Brass Conical Stem Dark Walnut Knob in passage function is the cheaper correct part. Exterior doors are a different job entirely, handled by a keyed handleset such as the Delaney Katana Grade 2 single cylinder handleset or a single cylinder deadbolt like the Delaney Traditional, cylinder outside and thumbturn inside. Do not put a privacy set on an entry door.
9) For a guest room door that needs credentialed access rather than a push button, what goes on the door instead of a Schlage F40?
The Paxton PaxLock Pro Galaxy lever latch lock is the credential-based alternative. It is a battery powered lever latch lock with a dual frequency reader at 13.56 MHz and 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth, AES128 encryption, and UL, FCC and ISED listings, fitted for 1-3/4 inch door thickness in white. The Schlage F40 is a non-electronic mechanical lockset with push-button privacy locking, and it fits doors from 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. Where a guest room needs to be opened by a card or phone and audited, the PaxLock Pro is the device; where it needs a simple bed and bath privacy button, the F40 is.
10) Can an Emtek Select Brass Conical Stem Dark Walnut Knob be used on a bathroom door instead of a Schlage F40 Flair Lever?
No. The Emtek Select Brass Conical Stem Dark Walnut Knob is a passage/hall/closet function, meaning it latches the door but has no locking mechanism at all. 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 that needs to be secured from the inside, the privacy function is the requirement; a passage set will not provide it. The Emtek is also a knob rather than a lever, which matters where lever operation is specified for accessibility.
11) What should I order for the entry door if the Schlage F40 Flair Lever is going on the bedrooms?
The F40 is a non-keyed privacy lockset, so it is not an exterior door product. For the entry opening, a single cylinder handleset covers it: the Delaney Katana single cylinder handleset with interior trim is Grade 2, matching the F40's Grade 2 rating, and the Bravura 973-Montgomery handleset with 672 interior plate and 939-Charlotte interior lever is also Grade 2 and carries a lever on the inside, which keeps lever operation consistent with the Flair Lever on the interior doors. Bravura also offers the 913-Savannah, 915-Jacksonville and 971-Austin handlesets at Grade 2, all with the 906-Macon interior knob if a knob inside the entry is acceptable.
12) What do I have to pick when ordering the Schlage F40 Flair lever, and what comes in the box?
Two choices only: finish and rose design. Finishes are 605 Bright Brass, 608 Satin Brass, 609 Antique Brass, 619 Satin Nickel, 620 Antique Nickel, 622 Matte Black, 625 Bright Chrome, 626 Satin Chrome, and 716 Aged Bronze. Rose designs are Alden, Addison, Brookshire, and Camelot. The 16-080 latch and the 10-027 strike are both included, so nothing else is required to hang it beyond a screwdriver and a bored door.
13) Can I match the F40 privacy lever to the hall and entry doors in the same house?
The Flair lever and the four rose shapes (Alden, Addison, Brookshire, Camelot) are shared trim across the F Series, so the privacy bath doors match the passage and keyed openings when you order the same lever, rose, and finish. Nine finishes are offered, from 605 Bright Brass through 622 Matte Black and 716 Aged Bronze, so a whole floor can be standardized on one code.
14) What are the alternatives to the Schlage F40 if I want the same Grade 2 level on the rest of the doors?
For the exterior openings on the same job, Grade 2 peers include the Bravura Savannah 913, Jacksonville 915, Austin 971, and Montgomery 973 handlesets, plus the Delaney Katana handleset. If Grade 3 is acceptable on lower-traffic doors, the Callan Visconti and Callan Briona single cylinder handlesets and the Delaney Avino sit at that tier. None of those are privacy sets, so they complement the F40 on the bed and bath doors rather than replace it.
15) Will the Schlage F40 drop into the holes from the knob set I am pulling off?
If the door is bored to the standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore with a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, yes. The F40 is a bored cylindrical set with a 7/8 inch latch housing and a dual backset latch, so it takes either of the two common backsets without swapping parts. Where a knob is being replaced with this lever, check clearance to the door stop and any adjacent wall, since a lever projects further than a knob.
16) Is a Delaney Traditional single cylinder deadbolt an alternative to a Schlage F40 privacy lock?
They do different jobs. The Delaney Traditional single cylinder deadbolt is a Grade 3 cylinder x thumbturn device with no latch handle, so it secures a door but does not operate it. The Schlage F40 is a Grade 2 cylindrical lockset with a Flair Lever that both latches and provides privacy locking. A deadbolt is also keyed on the outside, where the F40 is non-keyed and releases from outside only with a small circular tool, which is what bedroom and bathroom applications call for. The Delaney Contemporary round single cylinder deadbolt is the same Grade 3 cylinder x thumbturn arrangement in a round trim.
17) How do the Callan Visconti and Briona handlesets compare to the Schlage F40 for a whole-house or unit turnover package?
The Callan Visconti and Callan Briona are both single cylinder handlesets with interior trim rated Grade 3, and they are exterior entry products. The Schlage F40 is a Grade 2 non-keyed privacy lockset for the interior bed and bath openings. In a unit turnover package they sit on different doors rather than competing: one handleset at the entry, F40 privacy sets at the bedrooms and baths. If the specification calls for Grade 2 throughout, the Delaney Katana single cylinder handleset with interior trim is Grade 2 and pairs with the F40's Grade 2 rating.
