ALX Series Cylindrical Lock

The AL Series has always offered a combination of strength and durability alongside Schlage trusted key system options at a price point favorable to any application. Though these qualities remain, the lock has changed. ALX Series' features now deliver flexibility and value beyond strength and security. X Factor qualities, born from modular design, define a lock that exceeds expectations. AL Series' evolution to the ALX Series is a revolution in lock design.

• Accessibility: All Schlage ALX Series levers comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which requires that "Operable parts shall be operable with one hand and shall not require tight grasping, pinching, or twisting of the wrist. The force required to activate operable parts shall be 5 pounds (22.2 N) maximum."
• Life safety: The Schlage ALX Series is UL listed for use on 3-hour fire doors up to 4'0" x 8'0". The Boardwalk, Longitude, Omega, Rhodes, Saturn, Sparta and Tubular levers levers comply with the California State fire code for return to within 1⁄2" of the door face.
• Tactile warning for the visually impaired: Tactile warning is a special texture that can be applied to either lever to alert the visually impaired to a potential hazard on the opposite side of the door (exit to street, a workshop or other hazardous area, etc). Tactile warning is specified by an 8 prefix on the lever design.
• Door handing: ALX Series locks can be configured during installation to support any door handing. As a result, it is not necessary to specify handing during the ordering process.
