Product Description
ALX70PD-SAT-612 Schlage ALX Series Cylindrical Lever Lock — Classroom Lock, Saturn Lever, Satin Bronze
A room where one person controls the door with a key, and nobody inside can change it. That is the ALX70. There is no button. The key in the outside lever locks or unlocks the outside lever, and the inside lever always lets people out. The trade-off is plain: to lock this door, somebody has to be standing in the hall with a key.
This one is the Saturn lever on the Rhodes rose, with a key-in-lever conventional 6-pin cylinder in the Schlage C keyway, keyed different, in Satin Bronze. Saturn is the only ALX lever Schlage rates Grade 2 instead of Grade 1, and it comes key in lever only, so no interchangeable core on this lever. The latch is a deadlatch. Want the outside lever to spin free when locked? Schlage sells that as Vandlgard, catalog number ALXV70. Pick your backset in the dropdown: 2-3/4" is standard, 2-3/8" is the other choice. Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore before you order.

Pro-Installer FAQ
Q: Can I lock this from inside the room?
A: No. The only place to lock it is the key in the outside lever. There is no button and no inside cylinder on this function.
Q: Will this key into my building's system?
A: Only if your building runs the Schlage C keyway. It ships keyed different, not master keyed. Schlage's standard keyway on most new ALX orders is Everest 29 S123, and that is a different key, so check which one you have before you order.
Q: Can I get this with an interchangeable core, or in Grade 1?
A: Not on the Saturn lever. Schlage rates Saturn Grade 2 and builds it key in lever only. Other ALX levers such as Rhodes are Grade 1 and take FSIC or SFIC. If the whole door has to be a Grade 1 lock, step up to the Schlage ND Series.
