Schlage ALX80P6 LAT 626 Grade 2 Storeroom Cylindrical Lock with Field Selectable Vandlgard, Latitude Lever, Conventional Cylinder, Satin Chrome Finish

The Schlage ALX80P6 LAT is a Grade 2 storeroom cylindrical lock with the Latitude lever, a conventional 6-pin cylinder, and a 626 satin chrome finish. It's one of Schlage's most-specified Grade 2 locksets for a reason: it pairs the secure-by-default storeroom function with the modular ALX chassis and field-selectable Vandlgard, so a single lock adapts to more openings than a standard Grade 2 storeroom lock can. This is the lock for doors that stay locked to the public but always allow exit, like storerooms, supply and mechanical rooms, server closets, and secured back-of-house areas.

What the storeroom function and field-selectable Vandlgard do

The storeroom function (ANSI F86) is the workhorse of commercial locking. The outside lever is always fixed and requires a key to retract the latch and enter, the inside lever is always free so egress is never blocked, and the deadlatch resists manipulation. There's no thumbturn and no button, so the door stays secured by default and relocks every time it closes, with nothing for staff to set or forget.

Field-selectable Vandlgard is the feature that separates this Schlage Grade 2 lever lock from an ordinary one. Vandlgard lets the outside lever rotate freely up and down while locked, so when someone wrenches on it there's nothing to torque against and the chassis isn't damaged. On the ALX, you can switch Vandlgard on or off in the field, so one lock covers both a high-abuse door and a normal one. Most Grade 2 storeroom locksets force that decision at the time of order. This one lets you make it on install.

Why specify the Schlage ALX Series

The ALX exists to solve a budgeting reality: you want Grade 1 security on the critical doors but can't justify it everywhere. The ALX is a true Grade 2 lockset that operationally and visually suites with Schlage's Grade 1 ND Series, so you can run ND on the highest-demand doors and ALX everywhere else while keeping a consistent look building-wide. The modular chassis is the long-term payoff, because when a room changes use you can reconfigure the lock function in the field instead of buying a new lock, which is real money saved over a building's life.

For this storeroom configuration specifically, the Latitude lever and conventional cylinder make it a clean, code-compliant choice that drops into most existing keyways, and the satin chrome finish suits almost any commercial interior.
