Arrow QL81SR26D-SIC 2-3/4 BS – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Arrow QL81SR come with a cylinder, or do I need to supply an interchangeable core?
No core is included. The QL81SR is built less core with prep for a Schlage-style interchangeable core cylinder, so you supply and key the core yourself. That is what makes it useful to a locksmith or facility already running an IC system, since new openings drop straight into the existing keying without ordering keys from the lock supplier. The lock itself is single cylinder, keyed outside only.
2) How does the QL81 entrance function actually work day to day?
Entrance function: the latchbolt works from the lever on either side until someone pushes the turn-button on the inside. With the button set, the outside lever is locked and the latch is retracted by key outside or by turning the inside lever. The button has to be released by hand, so the door stays locked after each use instead of unlocking on close. That suits an office, suite, or tenant door where the occupant controls when it is secured.
3) Will this Arrow lockset latch into the strike already in my frame?
It ships with the 306 ASA ANSI strike measuring 4-7/8 x 1-1/4 inches and a deadlatch with a 1/2 inch throw on a 2-3/4 inch backset. If your frame is already cut for a 4-7/8 inch ANSI strike, the existing prep works. A small round-corner or T-strike frame prep will need to be modified or the frame replaced.
4) Is the Arrow QL Series lever approved for a fire-rated door and for ADA openings?
Yes on both. The QL Series is UL and cUL listed for 3 hour A label single swinging doors, and it is listed to ADA Section 4.13.9 for acceptable door hardware along with ANSI A117.1 accessibility. It also meets Federal Specification FF-H-106C. The lever design returns to within 1/2 inch of the door face, satisfying the California State Reference Code.
5) What is a Grade 2 alternative to the Arrow QL81SR entry lever for lighter-traffic openings?
The Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle, listed for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Arrow QL81SR is a Grade 1 entry cylindrical lever. Both are keyed entry levers; the Hager covers a wider published door thickness range while the Arrow carries the higher ANSI/BHMA grade.
6) I need a storeroom lever instead of an entry lever - what should I order?
For a storeroom opening where the outside lever stays rigid and is released only by key, the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever lockset with a deadlocking latchbolt, and the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Arrow QL81SR is an entry function lever, where the outside lever is locked by an inside turn-button.
7) What Grade 1 lever should I use on a classroom door instead of the Arrow QL81SR?
The Dexter C1000 classroom cylindrical lever lock is Grade 1, keyed, clutching, and listed for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors; the Dexter C1000 Classroom Security version adds key control from the inside as well. The Arrow QL81SR is the entry function in the QL Series and is listed for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors.
8) I need an electrified cylindrical lever for an access control opening - what replaces the Arrow QL81SR?
The Corbin Russwin CL33903 is a Grade 1 fail safe electrified cylindrical lever lock in 12VAC/DC for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, available with the NZ lever and D rose. The Arrow QL81SR is a mechanical keyed entry lever with no electrified option, on the same 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch door thickness.
9) Do I need to order a left or right hand version of this Arrow lever?
Handing is not a factor. The QL81SR lever is non-handed, so one part number covers both swings and you can stock a single lock for a whole building.
10) Is a Grade 1 lever like the Arrow QL81SR overkill for an apartment or office door?
Depends on the traffic. Grade 1 to ANSI/BHMA A156.2 Series 4000 is the heavy commercial tier and the freewheeling lever means force applied to a locked lever spins it rather than breaking the internals, which is why it holds up in corridors and multi-family entries. For lighter interior or residential-grade openings a Grade 2 entry lever such as the Hager 2525 or the Cal-Royal AG00 covers the same function at a lower duty level, and Cal-Royal's AUS00 is a Grade 3 entrance lever.
11) I need the same Arrow lever but in a storeroom or classroom function for other doors in the building. What are the options?
The QL Series runs the same trim and prep across functions, so you can standardize the look and keying across a facility: QL01 passage, QL02 and QL72 privacy, QL81 entrance, QL82 storeroom with a permanently rigid outside lever, QL87 classroom keyed outside only, and QL97 intruder classroom that can be locked by key from inside or outside. Same Sierra lever, same 161 prep, so any of them drops into the same door.
12) My door does not need to lock - what is the passage equivalent of the Arrow QL81SR?
For a non-keyed passage opening, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage cylindrical lock with non-handed levers, fire rated, for 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors; the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. The Arrow QL81SR is keyed with a single cylinder and an entry function.
13) Will a Baldwin 5103 or Emtek dummy lever work as a replacement for the Arrow QL81SR?
No. The Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy levers and the Emtek Arts and Crafts dummy levers are dummy function trim with no latch and no key, so they cannot secure an opening. The Arrow QL81SR is a keyed entry cylindrical lever with a deadlatch on a 2-3/4 inch backset and a 306 ASA ANSI strike.
14) Is there a keyless lever I can use instead of the Arrow QL81SR entry lever?
Yes. The Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function and ADA compliance for doors 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch thick, and the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with an adjustable backset for 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Arrow QL81SR is a keyed entry lever using an Arrow A or Schlage C keyway with a fixed 2-3/4 inch backset.
15) Is there a Grade 3 lever I can use on interior office doors instead of the Arrow QL81SR?
The Cal-Royal AUS00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office lever lock with a solid brass forged body for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Master Lock BC Series RL01 is a Grade 3 return style keyed entry lever. The Arrow QL81SR is a Grade 1 commercial entry lever with a freewheeling lever and non-handed trim.
16) Is the Accentra 107S cylinder adapter kit something I need with the Arrow QL81SR?
No. The Accentra 107S is a Schlage cylinder adapter kit for Yale hardware, not a lockset. The Arrow QL81SR is already prepped for a Schlage small format interchangeable core and ships less core, so it takes a Schlage IC cylinder directly.
17) What finishes does the Arrow QL81SR Sierra lever come in?
Two finishes are stocked: 626 satin chrome and 613E dark oxidized satin bronze. Satin chrome is the usual match for commercial corridors running aluminum or brushed hardware; 613E reads dark bronze and is the one to pick if your existing exit devices and closers are oil-rubbed or dark. The lever is pressure cast zinc at 4-3/4 inches long on a wrought brass rose 3-11/32 inches in diameter, projecting 2-17/32 inches off the door face.
18) What mounting hardware and spare latch parts come with the Arrow QL Series lockset?
The lock installs with two screws and ships with both wood and machine screws, so it can go into a wood door or a hollow metal door without a separate fastener kit. The standard latch is the G71 deadlatch at 2-3/4 inch backset; Arrow also lists the Q73 spring latch and Q71 dead latch, both 2-3/4 inch backset with 1/2 inch throw, as replacement latch units.
