Schlage A-Series Cylindrical Locks Specifications

A-Series – Features and Benefits:

• Patented door range adjuster allows quick and easy adjustment for doors ranging from 1-3/8” to 1-7/8” (35 mm to 48 mm) thick.

Primus XP Access Control and High Security Cylinders

Primus XP access control and high security cylinders are available to add patented key control and varying degrees of geographical exclusivity to most Schlage 6-pin key systems, whether Everest 29™ or Classic keyways. In addition to a conventional pin tumbler mechanism, Primus cylinders incorporate a patented finger pin and sidebar design providing a “dual-locking” cylinder that is virtually pick-proof. Resistance to drilling and other physical attack is optional by specifying 20-500 Series UL437 Listed cylinders.

Classic Primus XP cylinders are recommended for upgrading existing Classic key systems. Due to its extended patent life, the newly designed Everest 29 Primus XP is recommended for new key systems and for upgrading existing Everest key systems. Specify keyway to differentiate between Everest 29 and Classic. Example: C or CP (Classic) vs. S123 (Everest 29).

Latches

Long Backsets

Backsets 5” require extension links. A-Series locks with long backsets are normally furnished with 1” faceplates and 7/8” housings. Links installed in 1” latch holes require one G506-815 sleeve to join latch and link.
