Finishes
Schlage Lock finishes are durable, top quality finishes obtained by the careful processing of solid brass, bronze, stainless
steel, or other materials. When required, a protective clear coating is applied and cured under high temperature. It is
important that climatic conditions and usage be taken under consideration when selecting finishes. This is especially true in
areas subjected to strong corrosive vapors, humid climate, or sea air, which, in a short time, may have a damaging effect on
metal finishes.
The longevity and preservation of the finish appearance is determined by base metal and finishing process. Clear protective
coating or other organic finishing applications may require different methods of cleaning and care. As an example, non-clear
coated finishes should not be cleaned with soaps or any solvents; organically coated surfaces should periodically be cleaned
with a mild non-abrasive soap and buffed lightly with a clean cloth. The type of base metal and finishing techniques must be
considered when applying any cleaning or preservative method. Contact the Schlage Technical Services Department for
further information on the care of finished hardware.
In some instances, for customer convenience, the most appropriate BHMA (Builders Hardware Manufacturers Association)
finish symbols are used to indicate similarity of appearance regardless of base metal or finishing process. A-Series levers are
zinc based material and are plated to match finishes indicated. Finish numbers in the 600-Series are the BHMA industry
standard. The nearest old U.S. equivalent code designations are shown in parentheses ( ).
