Schlage Residential F51A ACC 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Schlage F51A Accent lever entry lock fit a 1-3/8 inch door, or does it need a 1-3/4?
Both work. The F51A is built for a door thickness range of 1-3/8 inches to 1-3/4 inches, so it covers the standard 1-3/4 inch commercial-weight slab and the thinner 1-3/8 inch doors common on older interior and lighter residential openings. No spacer kit or thickness option to specify.
2) My doors are bored 2-3/8 inch backset and others are 2-3/4 inch. Do I have to order the Schlage F51A two different ways?
One part number covers both. The F51A ships with a dual backset latch that adjusts to either a 2-3/8 inch or a 2-3/4 inch backset, so a property manager standardizing across a building with mixed door prep can buy a single lock and set it at install. Those two are the only backsets used on bored residential and light commercial prep, so the lock lands in an existing cross bore either way.
3) Is the Schlage F51A handed? I need it for a door that swings left.
Non-handed. The F51A Accent lever installs on a left or right hand door without ordering a hand or reversing parts, which is why it is a straightforward stock item for a maintenance shop that does not want to track handing across a fleet of units.
4) Will the Schlage F51A latch into the strike plate already in my jamb?
It depends on your existing lip. The F51A latch has a 1/2 inch throw and a 1 x 2-1/4 inch faceplate with 1/4 inch radius corners, and the lock ships with its own 1-5/8 x 2-1/4 inch full lip radius strike (no box). If your jamb is prepped for a radius corner strike of that size, the supplied strike drops straight in. If your existing strike is square corner or a T-strike, plan on chiseling the jamb mortise to the radius, or reuse your old strike only if its lip and opening align with the 1/2 inch throw.
5) What does the F51A keyed entry function actually do when someone is inside?
Keyed entry, single cylinder. Opening the door from the inside releases the outside lever, so anyone leaving is not locked in and does not need a key to get out. To secure it you either turn the key in the outside cylinder or push the interior turnbutton before you pull the door shut. There is no key cylinder on the inside, so it is not a double cylinder lock and does not require a key to exit.
6) Can I get a set of Schlage F51A locks all keyed to the same key?
Yes, keying is chosen when you order. The F51A is offered keyed different as standard, keyed alike for running one key across multiple locks, or with no cylinder for less-cylinder applications where you supply your own. There is an optional key code field on the order if you need the locks cut to a code you already use in the building.
7) Does the Schlage F51A meet Grade 2, and can it go on a fire rated door?
Grade 2, certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.2-2017 Commercial Grade 2 and also to ANSI/BHMA A156.39-2015 Residential Grade AAA, with an ANSI function designation of F81 (keyed entry). Schlage lists a UL Listed option for 3-hour fire doors covering the F51A function, so specify that option explicitly if the opening is a rated door, since it is an available configuration rather than the default.
8) For a door that needs credential based access rather than a key, what lever lock is used instead of the Schlage F51A Accent?
The Paxton PaxLock Pro Galaxy lever latch lock is the credential based counterpart. It is a battery powered lever latch lock with a dual frequency reader at 13.56 MHz and 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth, AES128 encryption, sized for a 1-3/4 inch door thickness, and carries ISED, UL and FCC marks. The F51A Accent is a mechanical lock with no electronic component, keyed with a single cylinder, and it fits a door thickness range of 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. Choose the PaxLock Pro when access has to be granted and revoked by credential; choose the F51A Accent when the opening is keyed and the door falls below 1-3/4 inch thick.
9) What is the closest Grade 2 single cylinder alternative to the Schlage F51A Accent lever entry lock if the door needs a handleset instead of a lever?
The Delaney Katana is a Grade 2 single cylinder handleset with interior trim, so it holds the same ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 rating and the same single cylinder keyed arrangement as the F51A Accent, which is a Grade 2 cylindrical lock with a single cylinder lock function. The difference is the exterior form: the F51A Accent presents an Accent lever on a rose, while the Katana presents a full handleset gripset. On the interior side, the F51A uses a turnbutton to lock; the Katana comes with its own interior trim. Choose by the door's appearance and prep, not by security class, since both carry Grade 2.
10) A front entry needs a traditional gripset look rather than a lever. What Grade 2 handlesets work in place of the Schlage F51A Accent entry lock?
Four Bravura handlesets carry the same Grade 2 rating as the F51A Accent entry lock. The Bravura 913-Savannah, 915-Jacksonville, and 971-Austin each pair a handleset with a 615 interior plate and a 906-Macon interior knob, so the inside of the door reads as a knob. The Bravura 973-Montgomery instead pairs a 672 interior plate with a 939-Charlotte interior lever, which keeps a lever inside the way the F51A Accent does with its Accent lever. All four change the exterior door prep from a bored lever set to a handleset footprint, so confirm the existing prep before swapping.
11) Is the Emtek Select Brass Conical Stem Dark Walnut knob a substitute for the Schlage F51A Accent entry lock?
No. The Emtek Select Brass Conical Stem Dark Walnut knob is a passage, hall and closet function, which means it latches but does not key or lock. The F51A Accent is a keyed lock with a single cylinder function: it is locked by inserting a key and rotating the cylinder from outside, or by rotating the interior turnbutton after exit. Use the Emtek knob where an interior door only needs to stay closed, and keep the F51A Accent where the opening has to be secured with a key.
12) What finishes and rose styles does the Schlage F51A Accent lever come in?
Eleven finishes: 505 Lifetime Brass, 605 Bright Brass, 608 Satin Brass, 609 Antique Brass, 619 Satin Nickel, 620 Antique Nickel, 621 Distressed Nickel, 622 Matte Black, 625 Bright Chrome, 626 Satin Chrome and 716 Aged Bronze. The Accent lever mounts on four rose shapes, Addison, Camelot, Greenwich and Kinsler, so you can match the rose profile already on the other doors rather than replacing every escutcheon in a unit.
13) Do I need a separate deadbolt with the Schlage F51A, or is it enough on its own?
The F51A is a bored lockset with a 1/2 inch latch throw, which is a latch, not a deadbolt. On an exterior entry door most specs pair the keyed lever with a single cylinder deadbolt above it for the longer bolt throw. ZenSupply carries standalone single cylinder deadbolts such as the Delaney Traditional (cylinder x thumbturn) or the Delaney Contemporary round rose deadbolt if you are building that pairing, though those are Grade 3 and separately keyed from the Schlage C keyway.
14) Should I use a lever lockset like the Schlage F51A or a handleset on a front entry door?
Different jobs. The F51A is a cylindrical bored lockset, one bore, lever both sides, keyed outside with an interior turnbutton, which is what you want for unit doors, back doors and rentals where turnover and simple rekeying matter. A handleset is a two-piece exterior grip with a deadbolt above and interior trim below, chosen for curb appeal on a main entrance. If that is the look you are after, ZenSupply carries Grade 2 handlesets including the Bravura 913-Savannah and 915-Jacksonville with Macon interior knob and the Delaney Katana with interior trim, plus Grade 3 options like the Callan Visconti and Briona.
15) What comes in the box with the Schlage F51A, and what else do I need to install it?
Complete for the door itself: lever trim both sides, the 16-086 dual option dead latch (round and drive-in versions both included), and the 10-027 full lip radius strike at 2-1/4 x 1-5/8 inches, no strike box. A screwdriver does the assembly on an already-bored door. If the door is not prepped you need a bore kit and Schlage's F10/F40/F51 door prep template. Nothing else is required to complete a standard latch installation.
16) Can I key the Schlage F51A to the Schlage keys I already use in my building?
The cylinder is 5-pin in the Schlage C keyway with two keys per lock, which is the same keyway family used across standard Schlage residential and light commercial cylinders, so it can be keyed into an existing C keyway system. Use the key code field at order to specify the code you already run. If your locksmith is pinning them on site, order the keyed different version and have them rekey to your bitting.
17) What is a lighter duty keyed entry option than the Schlage F51A Accent lever lock for a low traffic residential door?
The Callan Visconti and Callan Briona are both Grade 3 single cylinder handlesets with interior trim, and the Delaney Avino is a Grade 3 single cylinder handleset with interior trim as well. Each steps down one ANSI/BHMA grade from the F51A Accent entry lock, which is Grade 2. All three are keyed on the outside with a single cylinder, the same keyed arrangement as the F51A Accent, and all three are handlesets rather than the bored lever configuration the F51A uses, so the door face and prep change with them.
18) Can a single cylinder deadbolt replace the Schlage F51A Accent lever entry lock on a front door?
No, they do different jobs. The Delaney Traditional and the Delaney Contemporary round deadbolt are both Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolts with a cylinder by thumbturn function, so they secure the door but carry no lever or knob and do not latch the door closed. The F51A Accent is a cylindrical entrance lock with an Accent lever that both operates the latch and locks with a key outside or a turnbutton inside. A deadbolt is added above an entry lock for a second point of security, not instead of it.
19) What is the Schlage F51A made of, and will it hold up on a rental turnover door?
Zinc and steel substrate, rated ANSI/BHMA Commercial Grade 2 and Residential Grade AAA. That combination is why it gets specified on apartment and rental unit entries rather than a Grade 3 residential lever: Grade 2 is the middle commercial cycle and strength tier under A156.2, above the Grade 3 tier used on much builder-grade residential hardware.
