Schlage Residential F51A LAT 626 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What door applications is the Schlage F51A Latitude entry lock designed for?
The F51A is an entry lock for residential doors where key access and lockout protection are needed. Suitable for front doors and rear entry doors. Not recommended for storage rooms or interior doors.
2) Is this lock compatible with standard door preparations?
Yes, fits standard 2-1/8" door bore and 1" cross bore. Adjustable backset accommodates 2-3/8" and 2-3/4" preparations. Door thickness range is 1-3/8" to 1-3/4".
3) How do I determine the correct handing for installation?
Stand outside the door. If hinges are on the right, it's right-hand. If hinges are on the left, it's left-hand. The F51A is field-reversible for either handing during installation.
4) What finish options are available for the Latitude lever design?
Common finishes include Aged Bronze, Bright Brass, Satin Chrome, and Matte Black. Verify specific finish availability when ordering. Finish should match other hardware on the door.
5) What security grade does this lock meet?
The F51A meets ANSI Grade 2 standards for residential security. Provides good security for most home applications. Features anti-saw pins and reinforced strike area.
6) What keyway system does the C keyway use?
C keyway is Schlage's standard 5-pin system. Compatible with other Schlage C keyway locks for master keying. Cannot be keyed alike with other keyway systems without cylinder replacement.
7) What components are included with the 16211 latch and 10063 strike?

8) Can this lock be installed on metal doors?
Yes, compatible with wood and metal doors within the specified thickness range. Metal door installations may require longer screws for proper strike attachment through door frame.
9) How do I adjust the lever if it becomes loose over time?
Remove lever by pressing release tab and sliding off. Tighten internal mechanism screws as needed. Check that lever spring returns properly. Lubricate pivot points with graphite if needed.
10) Are there matching deadbolts available in the Latitude design?
Yes, Schlage offers matching deadbolts in the Latitude series. Look for B60 or B160 series deadbolts with same finish and keyway for coordinated appearance.
11) What tools are needed for installation?
Standard installation requires drill, hole saw bits (2-1/8" and 1"), chisel, screwdriver, and measuring tape. Door may need mortising for latch plate and strike plate proper fit.
12) Will this lock work with storm doors or screen doors?
Not recommended for storm doors due to thickness and material limitations. Best performance on solid wood or metal entry doors. Check door weight capacity and ensure adequate frame support.
