Schlage ALX50P Ath 643E Grade 2 Office Cylindrical Lock

Product Description

The SCHLAGE ALX50P ATH 643E is a Grade 2 office-function cylindrical lockset designed for commercial and light commercial interior door applications. It features an Athens lever handle and ships in an Aged Bronze (643E) finish. The lock includes a conventional cylinder and a field-selectable Vandlgard anti-pick, anti-pry feature that allows the installer to activate or deactivate forced-entry resistance without replacing any components. The non-handed design fits both left-hand and right-hand swing doors without modification, reducing parts inventory on multi-door projects.

This lockset is suited for office doors in commercial buildings, schools, healthcare facilities, and light institutional environments. The office function means the lever is always free from the inside while the outside lever locks or unlocks by key. It is typically installed by commercial locksmiths, door hardware specialists, or licensed contractors during new construction or retrofit work on hollow-metal and wood commercial doors.
