What’s expiring and when
Allegion has three declarations reaching the end of their validity window in February 2027. These cover common, high‑volume door hardware used across education, healthcare, and commercial interiors.
- Schlage ALX Series cylindrical lock, valid through February 3, 2027.
- Von Duprin 22 Series exit device, valid through February 1, 2027.
- LCN 4040XP/4040XPT heavy‑duty door closer, valid through February 1, 2027.
Each was published under the Builders Hardware Part B PCR and verified by a major program operator. The product scopes are typical for spec‑grade hardware and align with MasterFormat 08 70 00.
Are replacements already live
As of June 20, 2026, we do not see newer Allegion EPDs published publicly for these exact models on Allegion’s sustainability listings. Teams can monitor the manufacturer pages here for updates: Allegion EPDs for North America and training resources, plus a Canada listing that also aggregates current declarations (Allegion US EPDs, Allegion Canada EPDs). If a refreshed declaration posts, it will immediately close the gap for specifications.
Why the February date matters commercially
EPDs are typically valid for five years under ISO 14025 program rules, so a February 2027 sunset for 2022 issues is expected. Once an EPD lapses, the product no longer counts as product‑specific for most transparency pathways until a new one is posted, which can push buyers to swap in an equivalent with a current label (UL EPD Service Terms, 2024).

Likely alternatives specifiers will reach for
If a renewal is not live when submittals hit, design teams will not wait. They will pivot to like‑for‑like hardware that already carries an active declaration.
- Cylindrical lock alternative: Corbin Russwin CLX3300 Series cylindrical lock, current through 2029.
- Exit device alternative: ASSA ABLOY ACCENTRA 6000 rim exit device, current through 2027.
- Door closer alternative: SARGENT 281 Series closer, current through 2027.
These are established, broadly distributed lines that match common functions and grades. Selection still depends on fire‑ratings, handing, electrified options, and aesthetic packages, but an in‑hand EPD usually keeps them on the short list.
Risk to in‑flight work
For projects bidding this fall or early winter, February 2027 sounds far away. In reality, submittals and VE reviews often land months before delivery. If a declaration lapses mid‑project without a posted replacement, owners and GCs may apply conservative carbon accounting or request a switch. That creates churn the field teams dont need.
Renewal timing and PCR housekeeping
Renewing on the same Part B PCR is the most frictionless route if the category rules remain active. If the underlying PCR updates before renewal, the next EPD must cite the newer version or a different appropriate PCR. Good partners will flag those rulebook shifts early so there are no surprises at verification.
Where to track Allegion updates
Allegion’s ESG and sustainability microsites routinely point to product transparency resources and brand‑level links. They’re worth bookmarking alongside your spec library (Allegion ESG). For more industry context, see these related reads on our Guide that follow Allegion’s footprint and cadence: Allegion’s portfolio and EPD coverage at a glance and an earlier expiry note on a Steelcraft door model that helps illustrate timing risks for high‑runner SKUs (EPD Guide, 2026).
What specifiers should do now
If these products are in your basis of design for 2026 to early 2027 starts, set a check‑in point with your distributor a few months before February 2027. If a fresh EPD posts, you are covered. If not, have function‑matched alternates with current declarations pre‑approved so submittals keep moving. Timely renewal keeps pricing, performance, and sustainability aligned without last‑minute heroics.
