Arrow MLX01-SR-26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Arrow MLX01 passage lever fit a 1-3/8 inch door, or is it 1-3/4 only?
The MLX01 covers both. It fits doors from 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches as standard, which is the range that takes in older interior wood doors and standard commercial doors alike. Door prep is a standard 2-1/8 inch bore through the door with a 2-3/4 inch backset, so if the opening was previously fitted with a commercial cylindrical lockset the hole pattern is already there.
2) Does the Arrow MLX01 lock at all, or is it just a latch?
No locking of any kind. Passage function means the latchbolt is operated by the lever from either side at all times, with no cylinder, no key, and no thumbturn or pushbutton. It is the right part for a hall, corridor or closet door that needs to latch shut and stay closed but never needs to be secured. If someone needs to lock the room, this is the wrong function.
3) Do I have to specify left or right hand when ordering the Arrow MLX01?
No handing to specify. The MLX01 is non-handed, so one part number covers left and right hand openings and a stocked spare fits any door in the building. That matters most for property managers and MRO buyers keeping a shelf of replacements, since you do not have to double the stock to cover both swings.
4) Will the Arrow MLX01 latch into the strike already in my frame?
If the frame has a standard ANSI strike prep, yes. The MLX01 ships with a 306 ASA ANSI strike measuring 4-7/8 by 1-1/4 inches, which is the standard commercial frame cutout, and the latch is a stainless steel R23 springlatch with a 1/2 inch throw on a 2-3/4 inch backset. The latch front is 1-1/8 by 2-1/4 inches. Where the existing frame has a smaller residential T-strike or a round-corner prep, you will be using the supplied strike and patching or replacing the frame lip.
5) My door is 2 inches thick. What passage lever should I use instead of the Arrow MLX01?
The MLX01 stops at 1-3/4 inches, so a 2 inch door is out of range. The Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever with the Withnell design covers 1-3/8 to 2 inches and stays at the same grade. If you want Grade 1 on that thickness, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 passage set is rated 1-3/4 to 2 inches and the Falcon K101 goes to 2-1/4 inches.
6) I need a passage lever on a heavier-traffic opening than the Arrow MLX01 is rated for - what steps up?
The MLX01 is a Grade 2 passage lockset. For a heavier-duty opening, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage cylindrical lock with non-handed levers, a fire rating, and a 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range. The Falcon T101 is another Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever, with pressure release technology. The Design Hardware X75 is a Grade 1 passage lever lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever, fire rated, for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors.
7) What do I order instead of the Arrow MLX01 if the door needs to lock?
The MLX01 is non-keyed passage - the lever retracts the latch from both sides and nothing locks. For a keyed opening at the same Grade 2 level, the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt, the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial entry lock with a lever handle, and the Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 medium duty entrance/office cylindrical lever. For a bathroom or bedroom, the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with the 5048 rose gives a thumbturn instead of a key.
8) What is the closest Grade 2 passage lever equivalent to the Arrow MLX01?
The Accentra 5301LN Augusta is the nearest straight equivalent: a Grade 2 cylindrical lever lock in passage/hall/closet function, the same grade and function the MLX01 carries. The Accentra 4601LN from the 4600 Series is a second Grade 2 passage cylindrical lever with Augusta trim if the 5300 Series is not the standard in the building. All three are non-keyed passage sets where the lever simply retracts the latch from both sides.
9) Is a dummy lever the same thing as the Arrow MLX01 passage lever?
No. On the MLX01 the latchbolt is operated by the lever from either side, so it actually latches the door. A dummy trim has no latch at all - it is a fixed pull. If a working latch is not wanted, the BEST 7KC Series 1DT is a Grade 2 non-keyed single dummy trim cylindrical lever, the BEST 9K Series 1DT is the Grade 1 heavy duty equivalent, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 single dummy cylindrical lever. Ordering a dummy in place of a passage set leaves the door swinging free.
10) Which passage lever should I use on a 20 minute fire rated opening instead of the Arrow MLX01?
For a passage set carrying a fire rating, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 fire rated passage cylindrical lock, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 fire rated passage/closet lever. The Kwikset 200DL-RCALFD Delta passage lever ships with a round corner adjustable 20 minute UL latch and round corner strike for lighter residential-grade openings.
11) Our doors are prepped for a 2-3/8 inch backset - is the Arrow MLX01 the right call?
The MLX01 ships with an R23 springlatch on a 2-3/4 inch backset and a 1-1/8 inch by 2-1/4 inch latch faceplate. On a 2-3/8 inch prep, the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever is a Grade 2 lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different on a 2-3/8 inch backset, fitting 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Within the same AG family, the AG03 classroom lever uses a 2-3/4 inch backset.
12) How much room does the Arrow MLX01 lever need beside the door, and how far does it stick out?
The lever is 4-3/4 inches long, the rose is 3-11/32 inches in diameter, and total projection off the door face is 2-17/32 inches. Worth checking on a door that swings back against a wall or into a narrow corridor, and on a pair of doors where two levers could meet in the middle. The levers are pressure cast zinc and the roses are wrought brass.
13) What finishes does the Arrow MLX01 Sierra lever come in?
Four: 605 bright brass, 626 satin chrome, 613 oil-rubbed satin bronze, and BSP black suede. 626 satin chrome is the usual commercial default and the one that matches most existing office and multi-family hardware; 613 and BSP are the darker options for buildings that have gone away from bright metal. If you are standardizing a floor, pick the finish that matches the closers and hinges already hanging.
14) What comes in the box with an Arrow MLX01, and do I need anything else to install it?
The set arrives with the R23 springlatch, the 306 ASA ANSI strike, and both wood and machine screws, so the same box covers a wood frame and a hollow metal frame. Installation is a two screw lockset fit through a standard 2-1/8 inch bore. Nothing else is required beyond a door already bored on a 2-3/4 inch backset; on an unbored door you need a 2-1/8 inch hole saw and the latch edge bore.
15) What is a comparable Grade 2 commercial passage lever to the Arrow MLX01 from another brand?
Same grade and same function from other lines: the Accentra 5301LN Augusta and Accentra 4601LN are both Grade 2 cylindrical passage levers, and the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 medium duty passage lever with non-handed levers like the MLX01. All four land in the same place on a spec sheet, so the choice usually comes down to lever style and matching what is already hung in the building.
16) Can I standardize a whole building on Arrow MLX Series and use the MLX01 on the non-locking doors?
That is the usual way it is done. The MLX01 is the passage member of the Arrow MLX Series Grade 2 cylindrical line, sharing the 2-3/4 inch backset, the 2-1/8 inch bore and the 4-7/8 inch ANSI strike prep with the rest of the series. So corridor and closet doors take the MLX01 while the doors that need keying take the keyed functions in the same series, and every opening ends up with the same lever, the same finish and the same door prep. Non-handed levers mean one spare on the shelf covers any swing.
17) Can I use a Grade 3 passage lever in place of the Arrow MLX01 on interior hall and closet doors?
The MLX01 is a Grade 2 lockset specified for commercial use. Grade 3 passage levers that cover the same hall and closet openings include the Callan Asheville, the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever set for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Kwikset 200DL Delta passage lever with an adjustable 6AL latch and RCS strike. The grade difference is the ANSI/BHMA cycle and strength tier the lockset was tested to, so match it to the traffic the opening actually sees.
18) I want a decorative passage lever instead of the Arrow MLX01 Sierra lever - what are the options?
The MLX01 uses the Sierra lever on a round rose. If the trim style is driving the choice, the Bravura Atlanta, Orlando, and Miramar passage leversets all use round trim and are Grade 2, and the Bravura Tampa passage leverset is Grade 2 with square trim. The Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever uses the 5048 rose. Confirm the door prep matches before switching trim families.
19) What is the difference between the Arrow MLX01 and the Falcon B101 passage lever?
Both are Grade 2 non-handed cylindrical passage levers. The MLX01 is non-handed with a 2-3/4 inch backset R23 springlatch and a 306 ASA ANSI strike measuring 4-7/8 inch by 1-1/4 inch, and fits 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Falcon B101 is a medium duty Grade 2 passage lock from the B Series, also with a non-handed design. Either way the lever retracts the latch from both sides and neither is keyed.
20) Is there a keyless pushbutton lever that covers the same passage opening as the Arrow MLX01?
The MLX01 is a mechanical non-keyed passage set. If the opening needs code entry instead, the Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function and ADA compliance for 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Lockey 2835DC is the double combination version. The Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination in passage function for 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the 1150S adds an adjustable backset. These are a different install and a different user experience from a plain passage lever, so confirm the door prep before substituting.
21) Can I standardize a whole facility on the Arrow MLX01 and just change function door to door?
The MLX01 covers the passage openings only - hall, closet, and any door where the latchbolt is operated by the lever from either side. Facilities standardizing on one platform usually pair it with matching-grade sets in the other functions: the Cal-Royal AG05 Grade 2 storeroom, the Hager 2525 Grade 2 entrance, the Hager 2580 Grade 2 storeroom, and the Falcon B511CP6D Grade 2 entrance/office. For classroom and institutional openings the Dexter C1000 Series covers Grade 1 classroom, classroom security, entry/office, and asylum functions.
22) What is the Design Hardware J75 compared with the Arrow MLX01?
The Design Hardware J75 is a Grade 2 passage lever lockset with a flat lever from the J Series, sized for 1-3/4 inch doors. The MLX01 is also a Grade 2 passage cylindrical lever, non-handed, fitting 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors with wood and machine screws supplied. If the openings vary in thickness across a building, that range is the deciding difference; if every door is 1-3/4 inch, the two land on the same function and grade.
23) What is a FreeWheeling lever and does it matter on a passage set?
It means the lever spins freely under abuse instead of transmitting force into the lock body. On a passage door that gets swung on, hung from, or hit by carts, that is the failure mode you are trying to design out, and it is the main reason to put a Grade 2 MLX01 on a corridor door rather than a residential grade lever. Nothing about it changes the operation for a normal user: the lever retracts the latch from either side, every time.
