The Schlage ALX70 Classroom Lever Lock is a commercial-grade Grade 2 cylindrical lever designed for doors requiring outside security with unrestricted egress from the inside. Featuring an ANSI F84 classroom function, the outside lever is locked or unlocked by key, while the inside lever is always free for immediate exit. Built on Schlage’s modular ALX Series chassis, the ALX70 ensures code compliance, durability, and reliable performance in schools, offices, and institutional 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 accessibility-driven use cases.
When specified, tactile milling allows approved tactile symbols to be installed without field modification, preserving door preparation and hardware integrity. Availability depends on lever design, function, and applicable code requirements.
| What to Specify | How to Configure the ALX70 |
|---|---|
| Function | ALX70 – Classroom (ANSI F84) |
| Cylinder | Specify keyed cylinder for the outside lever only |
| Keying | Define keyway and keying |
| 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 Saturn lever (SAT) is not compatible with tactile milling |
| Backset & Latch | Specify based on door thickness and existing cylindrical preparation |
The ALX70 (F84) is the standard specification for classrooms, secure offices, and utility rooms where the door must be lockable from the outside but must allow free egress at all times for safety.
