Item 1.           SECURITY AND ISSUER

                  This statement relates to the shares (the "Shares") of common
                  stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), of
                  Lennox International Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
                  "Company"), which has its principal executive offices at 2140
                  Lake Park Blvd., Richardson, Texas 75080.

Item 2.           IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND

                  This statement is filed by Thomas W. Booth, whose principal
                  business address is 2140 Lake Park Blvd., Richardson, Texas
                  75080. Mr. Booth is the Director, Business Development of
                  Heatcraft Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, and is a member
                  of the Board of Directors of the Company. Mr. Booth is a
                  citizen of the United States.

                  The remaining sub-items of Item 2 are not applicable to Mr.
                  Booth.

Item 3.           SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

                  On July 28, 1999, Richard W. Booth, the father of Mr. Booth
                  and a director of the Company, contributed 160,000 shares of
                  Common Stock to The Booth Family Charitable Lead Annuity
                  Trust (the "Charitable Trust"). Mr. Booth is a co-trustee of
                  the Charitable Trust. All other Shares beneficially owned by
                  Mr. Booth were acquired primarily through a combination of
                  inheritance, gift, the Company's former dividend reinvestment
                  plan and the purchase of shares from other stockholders.

Item 4.           PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION

                  Mr. Booth acquired the Shares beneficially owned by him for
                  investment. Mr. Booth does not have any plans, nor has he
                  made proposals, which relate to or would result in any of the
                  events enumerated in paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 to
                  Schedule 13D. However, Mr. Booth reserves the right to
                  acquire additional shares, to dispose of shares or to
                  formulate other purposes, plans or proposals to the extent he
                  deems advisable in light of his personal investment needs
                  (and, in his capacity as trustee of the trusts described in
                  Item 5, the investment needs of such trusts), market
                  conditions and other factors.

                  (a) As of August 12, 1999, Mr. Booth beneficially owns an
                  aggregate of 2,952,279 shares of Common Stock, constituting
                  approximately 6.6% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.

                  (b) Mr. Booth directly beneficially owns 648,830 shares of
                  Common Stock, constituting approximately 1.4% of the
                  outstanding shares of Common Stock. Mr. Booth has the sole
                  power to dispose of and vote such shares. Mr. Booth is deemed
                  to directly beneficially own an aggregate of 2,475 shares of
                  Common Stock subject to options previously granted by the
                  Company that are currently exercisable or will become
                  exercisable within 60 days of the date of the filing of this
                  Schedule 13D. Such shares represent approximately 0.01% of
                  the outstanding shares of Common Stock. In the event Mr.
                  Booth exercises such options, he will have sole power to vote
                  and dispose of the shares issued upon such exercise. Mr.
                  Booth may also be deemed to indirectly beneficially own
                  40,062 shares of Common Stock owned by the Thomas W. Booth
                  Trust (the "T.B. Trust"). Mr. Booth is the sole trustee of
                  the T.B. Trust and in such capacity has the sole power to
                  dispose of and vote the Shares held by the T.B. Trust. The
                  shares of Common Stock owned by the T.B. Trust represent
                  approximately 0.1% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
                  Mr. Booth may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own
                  2,029,731 shares of Common Stock owned by the Trusts for the
                  benefit of Richard W. Booth (the "R.B. Trusts"). Mr. Booth is
                  a co-trustee of the R.B. Trusts and in such capacity shares
                  the power to dispose of and vote the Shares held by the R.B.
                  Trusts. The shares of Common Stock owned by the R.B. Trusts
                  represent approximately 4.5% of the outstanding shares of
                  Common Stock. Mr. Booth may be deemed to indirectly
                  beneficially own 160,000 shares of Common Stock owned by the
                  Charitable Trust. Mr. Booth is a co-trustee of the Charitable
                  Trust and in such capacity shares the power to dispose of and
                  vote the Shares held by the Charitable Trust. The shares of
                  Common Stock owned by the Charitable Trust represents
                  approximately 0.4% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
                  Mr. Booth may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own 71,181
                  shares of Common Stock owned by his two minor children. Mr.
                  Booth shares the power to dispose of and vote the Shares held
                  by his children. The shares of Common Stock owned by Mr.
                  Booth's children represent 0.2% of the outstanding shares of
                  Common Stock.

                  (c) The only transaction effected by Mr. Booth in the past
                  sixty days was the gift of 160,000 shares of Common Stock
                  described in Item 3. above.

Item 6.           CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS
                  WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

                  Pursuant to a Lock-Up Letter executed by Mr. Booth on July
                  28, 1999 in connection with the Company's initial public
                  offering, Mr. Booth has agreed that, without the prior

                  behalf of the underwriters in the Company's initial public
                  offering, he will not, during the period ending 180 days
                  after July 28, 1999, offer, pledge, sell or otherwise
                  transfer or dispose of any shares of Common Stock, subject to
                  certain exceptions.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

         The undersigned understands that Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated and
Morgan Stanley & Co. International Limited (collectively "MORGAN STANLEY"
propose to enter into an Underwriting Agreement (the "UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT")
with Lennox International Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "COMPANY"),
providing for the public offering (the "PUBLIC OFFERING") by the several
Underwriters, including Morgan Stanley (the "UNDERWRITERS"), of shares (the
"SHARES") of the common stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company (the
"COMMON STOCK").

         To induce the Underwriters that may participate in the Public Offering
to continue their efforts in connection with the Public Offering, the
undersigned hereby agrees that, without the prior written consent of Morgan
Stanley on behalf of the Underwriters, it will not, during the period commencing
on the date hereof and ending 180 days after the date of the final prospectus
relating to the Public Offering (the "PROSPECTUS"), (1) offer, pledge, sell,
contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option
or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend or
otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common
Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for
Common Stock or (2) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to
another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of
Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above
is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash
or otherwise; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the undersigned shall be permitted to make
a bona fide gift of shares of Common Stock during such period if the undersigned
delivers to Morgan Stanley a letter substantially similar to this letter
executed by the donee. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to (a) the sale of
any Shares to the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement or (b)
transactions relating to shares of Common Stock or other securities acquired in
open market transactions after the completion of the Public Offering. In
addition, the undersigned agrees that, without the prior written consent of
Morgan Stanley on behalf of the Underwriters, it will not, during the period
commencing on the date hereof and ending 180 days after the date of the
Prospectus, make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the
registration of any shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or
exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock.

         Whether or not the Public Offering actually occurs depends on a number
of factors, including market conditions. Any Public Offering will only be made
pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement, the terms of which are subject to
negotiation between the Company and the Underwriters.

account, each joint owner should sign. Persons signing in a representative
