Schlage ALX10 SAT Grade 2 Passage Cylindrical Lock with Field Selectable Vandlgard, Saturn Lever

The Schlage ALX10 SAT is a Grade 2 passage cylindrical lock with the Saturn lever, a plain lever set with no locking, just a latch that lets the door open and close from either side. The passage function (ANSI F75) means both levers are always unlocked and free to operate, the spring latch holds the door closed, and there's no key, button, or way to lock it. It's the lock for doors that need to latch but never need to be secured, closets, corridors, supply rooms, and pairs that just stay shut against a stop. This version pairs that function with Schlage's Saturn lever design, and it's non-keyed, non-handed, ADA compliant, and backed by a 10-year warranty.

What the passage function does

This is worth being clear on, because passage means no security at all. Turn either Saturn lever and the latch retracts so the door opens, release it and the spring latch holds the door closed against the frame. There's no button, no key, no thumbturn, nothing to lock. That's the point: on a closet, a hallway door, a stockroom that doesn't need security, or one leaf of a pair, you want reliable latching and free operation from both sides, never the risk of locking someone in or out. If a door does need to lock, a different ALX function covers it, the ALX40 for privacy, the ALX50 for office, the ALX70 for classroom, or the ALX80 for storeroom.

Because the ALX10 is non-handed, the same lock fits left-hand and right-hand doors with no handling to specify, and the Saturn lever looks and works the same from either face.

The Saturn lever and ALX modular design

The Saturn lever is one of Schlage's contemporary ALX lever styles, a clean, rounded design with a return to the door that keeps it ADA compliant and CA Fire Code compliant (all levers with a 1/2" or smaller return to the door qualify, which includes Saturn). It's available across the ALX finish range, so it coordinates with the rest of the building's hardware.

The lock benefits from the whole ALX platform, built on the proven AL Series with modular, field-configurable design, the "X factor." Durability comes from a zinc and steel chassis with zinc dichromate plating for corrosion resistance, a stainless steel latch, and Grade 1 compression springs that keep the levers from drooping over time. One honest note on the listing: the title mentions field-selectable VandlGard, which is Schlage's clutched vandal-resistant lever feature. VandlGard matters on locking functions, where a locked lever could be forced, but the ALX10 is passage, so both levers are always free and there's no locked lever to protect. On this passage model, the practical benefit is the Saturn lever and the ALX durability rather than VandlGard, which has nothing to act on when the lever never locks.

Why choose the Schlage ALX10 SAT

Schlage is one of the most specified commercial lock brands in the country, and the ALX10 SAT brings that name to the passage function with the contemporary Saturn lever at a Grade 2 price. You get a durable, ADA-compliant, fire-listed passage latch with the modular ALX chassis and a clean lever design, plus the option to suite it with Grade 1 ND Series locks elsewhere in the building on the same lever look. For any door that needs to latch but never lock, the ALX10 SAT is a straightforward, durable choice.

One thing to confirm before ordering: passage means no locking at all, so if the door ever needs to lock, choose a locking ALX function (ALX40 privacy, ALX50 office, ALX70 classroom, ALX80 storeroom). Pick your finish to match the building, and note the Saturn lever is one of several ALX lever styles if you want a different look.
