Schlage ALX50B Brk 626 Grade 2 Office Cylindrical Lock

Product Description

The SCHLAGE ALX50B BRK 626 is a Grade 2 office-function cylindrical lock designed for commercial interior door applications. It features the Boardwalk lever trim and a Satin Chrome (626) finish. The lock is configured for Small Format Interchangeable Core (SFIC) prep and ships less core, meaning the core must be sourced and installed separately. A field-selectable Vandlgard feature provides added resistance to forced lever manipulation, making this unit suitable for higher-traffic or vandalism-prone interior environments. Licensed locksmiths and commercial door hardware installers are the primary trades for this product.

This lock is intended for office-function applications where the lever is always free from the outside and locked by key from the outside when the inside button is depressed. It suits light commercial and institutional interior doors in office buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and similar environments. The non-handed design simplifies inventory and installation, as the lock installs on either hand of door without modification. SFIC prep accommodates cores from SFIC-compatible key control systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified commercial door hardware technician familiar with cylindrical lock prep dimensions and SFIC core systems.

Consult local building codes and the door hardware manufacturer guidelines for fire-rated door assembly requirements.
