Ordering Information

Before ordering, verify:

• Single-cylinder or double-cylinder function

• Schlage C or SFIC

• Indicator or non-indicator configuration

• Door thickness

• Existing deadbolt preparation

• Backset

• Strike requirements

• Cylinder requirements

• Keyway requirements

• SFIC core requirements

• Finish

• Fire-rating requirements

• Applicable egress-code requirements

Important SFIC Note

An SFIC housing and interchangeable core are often separate components.

Verify whether the selected configuration is supplied:

• With SFIC core

• Less core

• With temporary / construction core

This is especially important when matching an existing master-key system.

Double Cylinder Safety Note

Double-cylinder deadbolts require a key for operation from both sides.

Because this can affect emergency egress, they should only be installed where permitted by the applicable building, fire, and life-safety codes.

Never install a double-cylinder deadbolt on a required egress opening unless the complete configuration is permitted.

Fire Door Note

A Grade 2 deadbolt does not automatically make the opening fire rated.

For a labeled fire door, verify that the deadbolt, door, frame, hinges, closer, latch hardware, and complete installation comply with the required fire-door listing.
