Schlage Residential F51A CHP 619 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Schlage F51A Champagne lever entry lock fit a 1-3/8 inch door, or does it need a 1-3/4?
Both. The F51A is built for a door thickness range of 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, so it covers the standard commercial/exterior 1-3/4 inch door and the thinner 1-3/8 inch doors still common on older interior and light residential openings. No spacer kit or separate thickness version to specify.
2) Do I need to know my backset before ordering the Schlage F51A lever lock?
No. The F51A ships with a dual backset latch that adjusts to either a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, which are the two standard bore centers on residential doors. One part covers both, so you can carry it as a single line item across a building.
3) Is the Schlage F51A handed? I have doors swinging both directions.
Non-handed. The F51A uses a universal latch and the lever mounts for either hand, so one lock works on left- and right-hand openings, inswing or outswing. Nothing to specify on the order form for handing.
4) Can I get a batch of these Schlage F51A locks keyed alike for one building?
Yes. Keying is a required selection: keyed different (the standard), keyed alike for multiple locks on one key, or none if you want it supplied less cylinder to fit your own. There is also an optional key code field, so if you are maintaining an existing Schlage C keyway system you can enter the code you already use. The cylinder is 5-pin, C keyway, with two keys per lock.
5) I need a keyed entry on a door with no deadbolt bore. Is the F51A the right choice, or should I be looking at a handleset?
For a single 2-1/8 inch bore with one backset hole, the F51A cylindrical lever is the part, since it puts the key and the latch in that one bore. If your door is prepped for a two-hole handleset (grip plus deadbolt) or you want the deadbolt security of a second bolt, look at a single cylinder handleset instead, such as the Grade 2 Delaney Katana or the Bravura 973-Montgomery, which pairs an exterior handle with an interior lever. If you already have a keyed knob or lever and only want to add a bolt, a Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolt like the Delaney Traditional 200-B is the simpler add.
6) If I want credentialed access on the door instead of the Schlage F51A key, what lever lock does that?
The F51A is a mechanical, non-electronic lock keyed to a 5-pin C keyway cylinder. For credential-based access on a similar lever opening, the Paxton PaxLock Pro Galaxy lever latch lock is a battery powered lever lock with a dual frequency reader at 13.56 MHz and 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth, AES128 encryption, UL and FCC listings, and is specified for 1-3/4 inch door thickness. The F51A covers a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door range, so verify your door thickness before swapping to the PaxLock.
7) What is the closest Grade 2 alternative to the Schlage F51A entry lever if the opening calls for a handleset instead of a lever?
The Schlage F51A is a Grade 2 keyed cylindrical lever lock with a single cylinder function. If the opening needs an exterior grip handleset rather than a lever, the Delaney Katana is a Grade 2 single cylinder handleset with interior trim, and the Bravura 973-Montgomery is a Grade 2 handleset that pairs a 672 interior plate with a 939-Charlotte interior lever, so the inside stays a lever. The Bravura 913-Savannah and 915-Jacksonville are also Grade 2 handlesets but come with the 906-Macon interior knob instead of a lever.
8) Can a single cylinder deadbolt replace the Schlage F51A entry lever?
No. The F51A is a keyed entry cylindrical lockset with a lever, latch and strike that carries the door's latching function. The Delaney Traditional and Delaney Contemporary are Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolts with a cylinder by thumbturn function, so they add a separate deadbolt bore and provide no latch or handle. They are used alongside an entry set on a double-bore door, not in place of one.
9) How does the F51A entry function actually work day to day for tenants?
It's a single cylinder keyed entry. Opening the door from the inside releases the lock so someone can leave quickly and get back in without a key. To secure it, either insert the key and rotate the cylinder from outside, or rotate the interior turnbutton before you walk out. There is no interior key cylinder, so no key is needed to exit.
10) Is the Schlage F51A lever approved for a fire-rated door?
UL Listed for 3-hour fire doors is available on the F51A function. That listing applies to the lock function itself, so the rest of the opening (door, frame, closer, and a labeled strike arrangement) still has to be code-compliant for the assembly to hold its label.
11) Is this lock strong enough for apartment turnover traffic, or is it just a homeowner-grade lever?
The F51A carries ANSI/BHMA A156.2-2017 Commercial Grade 2 and A156.39-2015 Residential Grade AAA, which is the top residential tier. Body construction is zinc and steel. That combination is what property managers typically standardize on for apartment, condo, townhouse and duplex entry doors.
12) How does the Schlage F51A compare to the Callan or Delaney residential entry sets?
The difference to weigh is grade. The F51A is Grade 2 with a 5-pin Schlage C keyway, which matters if you are keying into an existing Schlage system. Among the alternatives, the Delaney Katana handleset is also Grade 2, while the Callan Visconti and Briona handlesets and the Delaney Avino are Grade 3 sets. Grade 3 is the lighter residential duty tier, fine for a single home, less so for units that turn over.
13) What comes in the box with the Schlage F51A, and what do I still need to buy?
The set includes the lever assembly both sides, the 16-086 dead latch (round faceplate with a circular drive-in option), and the 10-027 full lip radius strike, plus two keys. No strike box is supplied. Installation is a screwdriver job in three steps on a door already bored; if you are prepping a blank door you will need the bore and mortise per the F10/F40/F51 door prep template.
14) Is there a lighter-duty keyed entry option than the Schlage F51A for low-traffic residential doors?
The F51A is rated ANSI/BHMA Grade 2. For a lighter-duty keyed exterior set, the Callan Visconti and Callan Briona are Grade 3 single cylinder handlesets with interior trim, and the Delaney Avino is a Grade 3 single cylinder handleset with interior trim. All three are handlesets rather than lever locks, so the exterior appearance and door prep differ from the F51A cylindrical lever.
15) What should I use instead of the Schlage F51A on an interior door that does not need a key?
The F51A is a keyed lockset with a single cylinder, intended for entrance function. For a door that only needs to latch, the Emtek Select Brass Conical Stem Dark Walnut Knob is a passage/hall/closet function set with no cylinder. It gives no locking at all, so it is not a substitute on an exterior or unit entry door.
16) What finish and rose options does the Schlage F51A Champagne lever come in?
Two finishes, 619 Satin Nickel and 716 Aged Bronze, each offered with Alden, Andover or Wakefield rose. The Champagne lever itself is the same across all six combinations, so you can match the rose shape to the other doors in a unit while holding one finish family throughout.
