Allegion U.S. today announced the launch of the Schlage ALX Series. It is said to be a first in modular design for cylindrical locks.

Allegion calls the ALX Series cylindrical, grade 2 lock “an evolution of the earlier AL Series,” which will be discontinued at year’s end.

The ALX Series has several so-called X Factor features, including:

FleXible buying options: You can purchase the lock configured or in separate chassis, function and lever kits.
Function fleXibility: The lock’s patent-pending modular chassis design allows you to create the lock you want on site and change functions as rooms are repurposed.
EXtreme installation simplicity: There are no loose parts and little or no need to adjust for door thickness can lead to an installation in just over a minute, Allegion says.
EXpansive lever offering: The ALX Series comes in 10 designs, 10 finishes and a full range of key-system support, including all Schlage as well as five competitive cylinder formats.
EXceptional durability: ALX Series locks have grade 1 compression springs and a stainless steel latchbolt, and they carry a 10-year warranty.

The modular design enables locksmiths to do more with less inventory and solve problems at the jobsite with field-configurable solutions that could dramatically reduce callbacks when unplanned needs arise.

“We’re excited about this lock and committed to offering every possible configuration,” noted Reyn Parsons, vendor relations for Security Lock Distributors, a distributor of Schlage locks. “We see the modularity, durability and security features as building on the best of Schlage innovation.”
