Schlage Residential F40 PLY 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Schlage F40 Plymouth privacy knob fit a 2-3/8 inch backset, or do I need to order a different latch for 2-3/4?
One latch covers both. The F40 ships with the 16-080 spring latch, a dual-option universal latch that adjusts to either a 2-3/8 or a 2-3/4 inch backset with no extra parts and no re-drilling. That matters if you are working a building where the bore centers are not consistent door to door: order the same lock for every opening and set the latch at each one. The 16-080 also comes with a circular drive-in option, so it can go into a door bored without a face mortise for a faceplate.
2) What door thickness does the Schlage F40 knob work on? I have 1-3/8 inch interior doors.
1-3/8 inch doors are in range. The F40 is rated for door thickness from 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, which covers the common older interior door at 1-3/8 and the standard commercial or newer residential leaf at 1-3/4. Anything thicker than 1-3/4 is outside the range and the spindle will not make up.
3) Does the Schlage F40 privacy knob need to be handed for a left or right hand door?
No handing to specify. The F40 Plymouth knob is non-handed, so the same lock goes on a left or right hand door, inswing or outswing. Buy one part number for a whole floor of bedroom and bath doors without tracking swing.
4) How does the push button privacy lock on the F40 open in an emergency if someone locks themselves in the bathroom?
Push-button locking on the inside knob, and there are two ways out of it. Turning the inside knob releases the button, so anyone inside gets out with a normal turn. From the hall side it opens with a small circular tool through the outside knob, which is what you want in a rental unit, a guest room, or an assisted living facility where staff need access. There is no key and no keyed cylinder on the F40, so nothing has to be keyed or re-keyed.
5) Will the Schlage F40 latch reach my existing strike, or do I have to replace the strike plate too?
The 16-080 latch throws 1/2 inch and the lock is packed with its own strike, the 10-027 full lip radius strike at 2-1/4 by 1-5/8 inches with radius corners. If your frame already carries a 2-1/4 by 1-5/8 radius-corner strike prep, the supplied strike drops straight in. If the existing prep is square corner or a different size, use the frame's existing strike or fill and re-prep, because the F40 strike is a radius corner and no box is included, so it suits a wood jamb with a drilled pocket rather than a hollow metal frame expecting a box strike.
6) Can I use the Schlage F40 on a fire rated bedroom or corridor door?
Only in the CSV configuration. Within the F Series, the UL Listing for 3-hour fire doors applies to the F10, F51A and F80 functions, and to the F40 only when it is specified as CSV. A standard F40 privacy knob is not the part for a fire rated opening, so if the door is labeled, the function suffix has to be specified as CSV at the time you order.
7) I need a lock for an exterior entry door, not a bathroom. What should I use instead of the Schlage F40 knob?
The F40 Plymouth knob is a privacy/bed/bath function with no key cylinder, so it is an interior lock and does not belong on an exterior opening. For an entry door, a single cylinder handleset is the right family. The Delaney Katana single cylinder handleset with interior trim is a Grade 2 set, matching the F40's Grade 2 rating. Bravura also offers Grade 2 handlesets with interior knob trim in several exterior styles: the 913-Savannah, the 915-Jacksonville, and the 971-Austin, each supplied with a 615 interior plate and a 906-Macon interior knob. In Grade 3, the Delaney Avino, the Callan Visconti, and the Callan Briona are single cylinder handlesets with interior trim.
8) What is the difference between the Schlage F40 Plymouth knob and the Emtek Select Brass Conical Stem Dark Walnut knob for a bedroom door?
They are different lock functions and only one of them locks. The Schlage F40 Plymouth knob is a privacy/bed/bath lock: push-button locking, openable from the 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 has no locking mechanism at all. Use the F40 on bedrooms and bathrooms where the occupant needs to secure the door from inside; use the Emtek passage knob on hall, closet, and pantry doors where the door only needs to stay shut. Both are non-keyed, so neither one carries a cylinder or keys.
9) Is the Schlage F40 privacy knob strong enough for apartment turnover and multi-family bedroom and bath doors?
It carries ANSI/BHMA A156.2-2017 Commercial Grade 2 and A156.39-2015 Residential Grade AAA, with a zinc and steel substrate. Grade 2 is the middle commercial tier, above the Grade 3 builder locks common in residential, so for bedroom and bath doors in apartments, guest rooms, or assisted living it holds up to tenant-turnover traffic. It is a residential-line lock, so it belongs on private-side doors, not on a corridor or entry opening that sees all-day public use.
10) What is the difference between the Schlage F40 and the F10, and which one do I need for a bedroom versus a closet?
Function is the whole difference. The F40 is the privacy function, push-button locking on the inside for bedrooms and bathrooms. The F10 in the same F Series is the passage function, no locking at all, which is what goes on a hall, closet, or laundry door. Both are non-keyed cylindrical bored locks in the same family, so they share door prep and look the same on the door. Order F40 where the room needs to be secured from the inside and F10 where it does not.
11) Do I have to choose a rose design on the Schlage F40 Plymouth knob, and does it affect the door prep?
Rose design is a required selection alongside finish, and it is cosmetic only. Four roses are offered: Kinsler, Addison, Camelot, and Collins. All of them carry the same Plymouth knob, the same 16-080 latch and 10-027 strike, so the door prep does not change with the rose. Pick the rose to match the trim style already on the other doors and the finish to match the hardware, then order the same combination across the building.
12) I need a privacy lock but a passage knob was specified. Is the Emtek Select passage knob an alternative to the Schlage F40?
Not for the same opening. The Emtek Select Brass Conical Stem Dark Walnut knob is a passage function, meaning it latches but does not lock, so it will not do the bed and bath job the F40 privacy function does. Use the Emtek where the door only needs to stay closed, and the F40 where somebody inside needs to secure the room. They are not interchangeable even though both are knobs.
13) For a hotel or multi-family guest room, should I specify the Schlage F40 knob or an electronic lock like the Paxton PaxLock Pro?
It comes down to whether the opening needs credentialed access control or just privacy. The Schlage F40 Plymouth knob is a non-electronic, non-keyed privacy lock with push-button locking that the occupant sets from inside, and it fits doors 1-3/8 inch through 1-3/4 inch thick. The Paxton PaxLock Pro Galaxy lever latch lock is a battery powered lock with a dual frequency reader at 13.56 MHz and 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth, AES128 encryption, and it is specified for 1-3/4 inch door thickness only. Interior bedroom and bathroom doors inside a unit are typically F40 privacy; the unit entry door that has to be issued and revoked to guests or residents is where a credentialed lock like the PaxLock Pro belongs. Note also that the PaxLock Pro is a lever, while the F40 is a Plymouth knob.
14) Can a deadbolt like the Delaney Traditional be used in place of a Schlage F40 privacy knob?
No, they do a different job and cannot substitute for each other. The Schlage F40 Plymouth knob is a cylindrical bored lockset with a knob and a latch, so it both operates the door and provides the privacy function. The Delaney Traditional and the Delaney Contemporary Round are Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolts with a cylinder by thumbturn function, meaning they throw a bolt but have no handle and will not retract a latch to open the door. On a bedroom or bathroom the F40 is the complete answer on its own; a deadbolt is added alongside a lockset on a door that needs a keyed bolt, and it is keyed from the outside rather than push-button operated.
15) The interior doors need a lever instead of a knob for ADA-friendly operation. What are the options next to the Schlage F40 Plymouth knob?
The F40 Plymouth knob is a knob-style handle, so it is not the set to specify where a lever is required. Within the comparable hardware, the Delaney Katana Grade 2 single cylinder handleset and the Bravura 973-Montgomery handleset, which ships with a 672 interior plate and a 939-Charlotte interior lever, put a lever on the inside face. The Paxton PaxLock Pro Galaxy is also a lever latch lock. Keep in mind that the F40 privacy function is not carried by any of those: the Bravura 973-Montgomery and the Delaney Katana are single cylinder handlesets built for an entry opening, and the PaxLock Pro is a credentialed electronic lever, so a lever privacy set is the correct request for a bedroom or bathroom that needs lever operation.
16) What finishes does the Schlage F40 Plymouth knob come in to match the rest of my hardware?
Eight finishes, all BHMA numbered: 605 Bright Brass, 609 Antique Brass, 619 Satin Nickel, 620 Antique Nickel, 622 Matte Black, 625 Bright Chrome, 626 Satin Chrome, and 716 Aged Bronze. If you are matching existing doors, the BHMA number is what to match on rather than the finish name, since 619 and 626 read similarly in a photo but are nickel and chrome. Every finish is offered across all four rose designs.
17) Can I install the Schlage F40 knob myself or does it need a locksmith?
A screwdriver does it. The F40 is a bored cylindrical lock: mark the door with the Schlage template, drill the cross bore and the edge bore, drop in the 16-080 latch, set the knobs, then mount the 10-027 strike and check that the 1/2 inch throw lands in the pocket. Because the latch is dual backset and the lock is non-handed, there is nothing to configure or reverse before it goes on the door. On an existing bored door of the right thickness it is a swap, not a re-prep.
18) Can I add a deadbolt that keys to the Schlage F40 privacy knob?
There is nothing to key the F40 to. It is a non-keyed privacy lock with no cylinder, so it cannot be keyed alike with a deadbolt or anything else. If you want a deadbolt on the same door for a separate purpose, the Delaney Traditional and Delaney Contemporary round single cylinder deadbolts are Grade 3 cylinder by thumbturn units that operate independently of the knob.
19) I am standardizing interior hardware across a building and want everything at the same ANSI/BHMA grade. Which sets match the Schlage F40 at Grade 2?
The Schlage F40 Plymouth knob privacy lock is ANSI/BHMA Grade 2. Among the comparable hardware, the Grade 2 sets are the Delaney Katana single cylinder handleset with interior trim and the Bravura handsets: the 913-Savannah in the Savannah series, the 915-Jacksonville in the Jacksonville series, the 971-Austin in the Austin series, and the 973-Montgomery in the Montgomery series. Falling at Grade 3 are the Delaney Avino handleset, the Callan Visconti and Callan Briona handlesets, and the Delaney Traditional and Delaney Contemporary Round deadbolts. If the spec calls for a uniform Grade 2 package, the F40 covers the interior privacy openings and the Grade 2 handlesets cover the entries.
