Arrow QL82-SR-26D-IC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does storeroom function actually do on the Arrow QL82 - is the outside lever always locked?
Outside lever on the QL82 stays rigid at all times. A key in the outside lever retracts the latchbolt for entry; turning the inside lever always retracts it for free egress. Nothing about it can be left unlocked, so the door relocks itself every time it closes. That is the behaviour you want on a supply room, electrical closet, or mechanical room where the door must never be found on the latch. It carries the ANSI/BHMA F86 function designation.
2) Do I have to order the Arrow QL82 lever lock handed for a left or right hand door?
No handing to specify. The QL82 is non-handed, so one part number covers left and right hand openings and inswing or outswing. For a property manager stocking spares across a building that means a single lock on the shelf fits any door it is needed on. Fasteners are supplied as wood and machine screws, so it mounts to hollow metal or wood doors.
3) Should I order the Arrow QL82 with the standard cylinder or the SFIC prep?
That depends on whether your facility keys its own doors. The standard build comes with a solid brass 6-pin key in lever cylinder in Arrow A or Schlage C keyway, keyed different, with two brass keys. The IC option is prepped for a small format interchangeable core and ships less core, so a locksmith or in-house shop drops in the core that matches the rest of the site. If you already run SFIC across the building, take the IC version; if this is a one-off door, the standard cylinder is complete out of the box. Both cylinder choices are offered in all four finishes: 626 satin chrome, 605 bright brass, 613E dark oxidized bronze, and BSP black suede powder coat.
4) Can I get a run of Arrow QL82 storeroom locks keyed alike so one key opens all of them?
Yes. Keying is a choice made at order time: keyed different is the standard, keyed alike puts a group of locks on one key, and there is a less-cylinder option for sites that pin their own. A key code field is available if you need the locks cut to an existing system. Keyed alike is the usual pick for a maintenance crew that carries one key for every storage room on a property.
5) Can I key the Arrow QL82 into an existing Schlage keyed system?
Yes, on the keyway. The standard cylinder is a solid brass 6-pin unit available in Schlage C keyway as well as Arrow A, so it can be pinned into a site already running Schlage C. Supply your key code at order time to have it cut to the existing system. If your building runs small format interchangeable core instead, take the IC prep version and install your own core.
6) Is a Grade 2 storeroom lever a workable step down from the Arrow QL82?
The Cal-Royal AG05 and the Hager 2580 are both Grade 2 storeroom-function cylindrical lever locksets, and both cover 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same thickness range the Arrow QL82 fits as standard - the Hager 2580 extends to 2 inch doors. The QL82 carries a Grade 1 rating and an ANSI/BHMA F86 function designation. On a stockroom or janitor closet in a light-traffic building the Grade 2 sets do the same job; on a specification that names Grade 1, they do not substitute.
7) The doors are 2 inches thick - what storeroom lever fits when the Arrow QL82 does not?
The Arrow QL82 fits 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors as standard. For a 2 inch door on a storeroom opening, the Hager 2580 Withnell storeroom lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch and is a Grade 2 cylindrical lock. Measure the door leaf at the bore before ordering, since thickness governs the spindle and screw length rather than the trim.
8) Which Grade 1 cylindrical lever should I order if the room needs classroom or entry function instead of storeroom?
The Arrow QL82 is fixed at storeroom function - the outside lever is always rigid and only a key or the inside lever retracts the latch, so it cannot be left unlocked for a class period. For a classroom opening the Dexter C1000 classroom lever is Grade 1 and fits 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Dexter C1000 classroom security version adds keyed control from both sides. For an office that needs to be locked and unlocked from inside, the Dexter C1000 entry/office lever is Grade 1 over the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch range. For a psychiatric or utility room the Dexter C1000 asylum lever is the F87 function and covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
9) How far does the Arrow QL82 lever stick out from the door, and how long is the lever?
Total projection off the door face is 2-17/32 inches (65mm). The lever itself is pressure cast zinc, 4-3/4 inches (121mm) long, on a wrought brass rose 3-11/32 inches (85mm) in diameter. Those numbers matter when the door swings into a corridor with a tight wall return, or where a lever could catch on adjacent trim or a frame stop.
10) Is the Arrow QL82 lever tough enough for a school or a high-traffic commercial building?
It is built for that. The QL82 is a Grade 1 commercial cylindrical lock with a freewheeling lever, meaning the outside lever spins free under force instead of transmitting the load into the lock body, which is what usually kills a lever lock in an abused opening. Installation is a two screw lockset, so swapping one out during a turn takes minutes.
11) What is the difference between a Grade 1 storeroom lever like the Arrow QL82 and a Grade 2 storeroom lever?
Same function, different duty rating. Grade 1 is the heaviest ANSI/BHMA cylindrical rating and is what specs on schools, hospitals, and high-traffic commercial call for. If the opening is lighter duty, ZenSupply carries Grade 2 storeroom levers such as the Hager 2580 with the Withnell lever, which fits 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal AG05 with a deadlocking latchbolt at 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches. Where the door sees constant use or has to meet a Grade 1 line on the drawing, the QL82 is the one that qualifies.
12) I need the same lever on the storeroom door and the office door next to it. Can I match the Arrow QL82 with other functions?
The QL82 covers storeroom only, where the outside lever is always locked. For an office or entry door that needs to be left unlocked during business hours, that is a different function entirely, and forcing a storeroom lock onto it means staff propping the door. ZenSupply stocks Grade 1 cylindrical levers in the other functions, including the Dexter C1000 entry/office and classroom versions, both fitting 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 passage lock. If matching lever style across every door matters more than mixing brands, keep the whole opening group within one series.
13) Does the Arrow QL82 come with everything needed to install it, or do I have to buy the latch and strike separately?
The lock arrives complete for a standard opening: Q71 deadlatch at 2-3/4 inch backset, 306 ANSI strike at 4-7/8 by 1-1/4 inches, wood and machine screws, and two brass keys with the standard cylinder. The one thing not included is a core if you order the SFIC prep version, which ships less core by design. Beyond that you need a door bored 2-1/8 inches through with the matching 2-3/4 inch backset.
14) What do I put on the doors in the same corridor that do not need to lock?
The Arrow QL82 is a keyed single-cylinder storeroom lock. For the non-locking openings on the same run, the Grade 1 passage levers include the Falcon K101, which fits 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors and is fire rated, the Falcon T101 heavy duty passage lever, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 passage/closet vandal resistant lever for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, also fire rated, and the Design Hardware X75 flat lever for 1-3/4 inch doors. Grade 2 passage options include the Falcon B101 non-handed lever, the Hager 2510 Withnell for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Design Hardware J75. Keeping the grade consistent across the corridor keeps the trim and duty level uniform even though only some doors take a key.
15) Is a dummy lever an alternative to the Arrow QL82 on the inactive leaf of a pair?
No - a dummy lever is trim only, with no latch and no cylinder, so it holds nothing closed. The Arrow QL82 is a keyed cylindrical lock with a Q71 deadlatch on a 2-3/4 inch backset. On the inactive leaf where a pull is all that is wanted, the BEST 9K single dummy trim is Grade 1 heavy duty and the BEST 7KC single dummy trim is Grade 2 medium duty; the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 single dummy. Order the QL82 for the leaf that actually secures the room and dummy trim only for the leaf that does not move.
16) Can a keypad lever replace the Arrow QL82 so tenants do not carry a key?
A keyless lever changes how the door is credentialed, not the function it performs. The Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever and the Lockey 2835DC double combination version are passage-function locks fitting 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Lockey 1150 heavy duty keypad lever sets fit 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Delaney LP250 is an electronic keypad leverlock rated Grade 2. The Arrow QL82 is a Grade 1 storeroom lock whose outside lever is always rigid and whose latch is retracted by key - if the requirement is a door that stays locked and is opened only by a keyed credential, the QL82 delivers that; if the requirement is code entry, the keypad sets do.
17) Does an electrified cylindrical lever do the same job as the Arrow QL82 on an access control door?
They secure the door differently. The Arrow QL82 is mechanical - the outside lever is always rigid and a key in the outside lever retracts the latch. The Corbin Russwin CL33903 is a Grade 1 fail safe electrified cylindrical lever running on 12VAC/DC and fitting 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, so the outside lever is released by the access control system and unlocks on power loss. On a stockroom with no card reader the QL82 is the complete answer; on a door tied to an access control head end that must release on alarm, the electrified CL33903 is the one that wires in.
18) Will a residential-style keyed lever work in place of the Arrow QL82 on a commercial storeroom?
The Arrow QL82 is a Grade 1 commercial cylindrical lock with a storeroom function. The Master Lock RL Series return style keyed entry lever and the Cal-Royal AUS00 entrance/office lever are Grade 3, and the Callan Artino and Callan Bennett entrance leversets are Grade 3 as well. Beyond the grade difference, entrance and office function allows the outside lever to be left unlocked, while storeroom keeps the outside lever rigid at all times so the door cannot be inadvertently left open. For a storeroom that must stay secured, function alone rules the entrance-style levers out.
19) I need the same keyway across the building - how does the Arrow QL82 fit a Schlage C system?
The Arrow QL82 standard cylinder is a solid brass 6-pin unit available in Arrow A or Schlage C keyway, and it is also offered with SFIC prep less core for buildings running small format interchangeable cores. The Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever and the Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever are supplied with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different, so a facility standardized on Schlage C can carry the QL82 on storeroom doors and the AG series on entrance and classroom doors within one key system. Confirm the keyway on every line of the order, since it is the one detail that cannot be corrected in the field without recoring.
20) What finishes does the Arrow QL82 lever lock come in for matching existing door hardware?
Four finishes: 626 satin chrome, 605 bright brass, 613E dark oxidized bronze, and BSP black suede powder coat. 626 is the usual match for commercial openings already fitted with satin chrome exit devices and closers. Each finish is available with either the standard key in lever cylinder or the SFIC prep.
21) Can I use a Baldwin or Emtek lever on the storeroom door instead of the Arrow QL82?
Those are decorative residential trim lines in functions the storeroom door does not accept. The Baldwin Estate 5103 with 5048 rose comes as passage, privacy, and left or right hand half dummy; the Emtek Classic Cortina and Arts and Crafts levers are sold as dummy pairs. None of those functions keeps an outside lever rigid against a key. The Arrow QL82 is a Grade 1 commercial storeroom lock, so it is the one that secures a stockroom - reserve the decorative levers for the office and closet doors that only need trim.
22) Is the Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever an equivalent to the Arrow QL82?
They are different functions on the same style of door. The Arrow QL82 is storeroom - the outside lever never unlocks, and the key only retracts the latch. The Cal-Royal AG03 is a classroom lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different on a 2-3/4 inch backset, and classroom function lets the key lock and unlock the outside lever so a room can be left open. The QL82 also uses a 2-3/4 inch backset, so the bore and latch prep line up; the behavior at the lever does not.
23) Is the Corbin Russwin 585F715 lever a replacement for an Arrow QL82?
No. The 585F715 is a Grade 1 lock lever for an ED8000 pushpad exit device in the CL3300 cylindrical lock series - a trim lever, not a complete lockset. The Arrow QL82 is a full cylindrical lever lock supplied with a Q71 deadlatch on a 2-3/4 inch backset and a 306 ANSI strike, 4-7/8 inch by 1-1/4 inch. Order the QL82 when the door needs a working lock; order lever trim only when the exit device is already on the door and the handle is what failed.
