Schlage ALX80B Ath 643E Storeroom Cylindrical Lock

Product Description

The SCHLAGE ALX80B ATH 643E is a Grade 2 cylindrical storeroom lock designed for commercial and light institutional access control applications. It features the Athens lever handle and ships without a core, accepting Small Format Interchangeable Core (SFIC) systems for facilities that use a master-keyed or large-scale key control program. The field-selectable Vandlgard feature allows the installer to configure forced-entry resistance on-site without additional parts. The Aged Bronze (643E) finish provides a durable, period-appropriate appearance suited to a range of interior door hardware programs. Licensed locksmiths, commercial door hardware installers, and facilities maintenance professionals are the typical installers.

This lock is intended for storeroom function, meaning the outside lever is always locked and can only be opened by key or credential - the inside lever always allows free egress. This configuration is standard in storage rooms, server rooms, supply closets, and other areas requiring controlled entry with unrestricted exit. The non-handed design means the lock installs on doors with either a left-hand or right-hand swing without modification. The SFIC-less-core configuration ships ready for integration into an existing SFIC key system once the core is sourced separately.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified commercial door hardware technician familiar with SFIC key systems. Verify that the door preparation (bore size and latch backset) matches the lock requirements before installation. The SFIC core must be sourced and installed separately - do not operate the lock in a secured application without a properly installed core. Reference ANSI/BHMA standards and local building codes for commercial door hardware requirements.
