The Schlage ALX40 Privacy Lever Lock is a commercial-grade Grade 2 cylindrical lever designed for interior doors requiring privacy locking, such as restrooms, offices, exam rooms, and consultation spaces. Featuring an ANSI F76 privacy function, the inside lever includes a push-button locking mechanism while the outside lever remains unlocked, with an emergency release provided for safety. Built on Schlage’s modular ALX Series chassis, the ALX40 delivers durability, consistency, and long-term serviceability for demanding commercial environments.
Configuration & Ordering
Tactile milling on the Schlage ALX Series refers to the optional factory preparation used to accommodate tactile warning indicators on the lever or rose. This milling supports code-compliant applications where tactile identification is required, such as doors serving visually impaired occupants or specific accessibility-driven use cases.
When specified, tactile milling allows the installation of approved tactile symbols without field modification, maintaining the integrity of the hardware and door preparation. Availability and applicability depend on lever design, function, and code requirements.
| What to Specify | How to Configure the ALX40 |
|---|---|
| Function | ALX40 – Privacy (ANSI F76) |
| Lever Design | Select an ALX lever style appropriate for the opening |
| Finish | Choose the architectural finish to coordinate with surrounding hardware |
| Tactile Milling | Optional; specify only if tactile indicators are required for the opening Please note that the Saturn lever (SAT) is not compatible with tactile milling |
| Backset & Latch | Specify based on door thickness and existing cylindrical preparation |
Standardizing on the ALX Series allows facilities to maintain consistent chassis, trim, and service parts while selectively specifying privacy functions only where required, supporting both accessibility compliance and long-term hardware consistency.
