Arrow QL87SR26D-CS 2-3/4 BS – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What door prep does the Arrow QL Series lever need, and will it drop into an existing 161 cutout?
It uses a standard 2-1/8 inch (54mm) cross bore through the door with a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the QL Series is built on 161 prep so it retrofits existing commercial openings prepped that way. Latch face is 1-1/8 x 2-1/4 inches. No special or proprietary prep is involved, which is why this series is commonly used to swap out worn cylindrical locks without touching the door.
2) Will the Arrow QL87SR latch into the strike already in my frame?
The lock ships with the 306 ASA ANSI strike, 4-7/8 x 1-1/4 inches, and the latch has a 1/2 inch throw. If your frame is already cut for a standard 4-7/8 inch ANSI strike, which most hollow metal commercial frames are, the included strike drops straight in. Frames cut for a small round-corner residential strike will need to be modified.
3) Is the Arrow QL87SR keyed to Schlage C, and can I key it into my existing master system?
The standard cylinder is solid brass, 6-pin, keyed different, in either Arrow A or Schlage C keyway, and two brass keys come with it. A Schlage C keyway cylinder can be pinned into an existing Schlage C system by your locksmith. If you run interchangeable core, the lock can be ordered prepped for small or large format IC cylinders instead, with the core supplied separately.
4) Is this Arrow lever rated for a fire door in a school corridor?
Yes. The QL Series is UL and cUL listed for 3 hour, A label single swinging doors, with a UL listed latchbolt that is guarded on all locking functions. It is ANSI/BHMA A156.2 Series 4000 Grade 1, meets Federal Specification FF-H-106C, and complies with ANSI A117.1 and ADA Section 4.13.9 for accessible hardware.
5) We want a classroom lock that can also be locked from inside the room - what is the alternative to the Arrow QL87SR?
The Dexter C1000 classroom security lock (DEX-C1000-CSEC) is a Grade 1 clutching keyed classroom security lever for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Within the Arrow QL Series, the QL97 intruder classroom function does the same job: a key on either the inside or the outside locks and unlocks the outside lever, while the inside lever always operates the latchbolt. The QL87 function is keyed from the outside only.
6) We need a storeroom lever instead of a classroom lever - what should we order?
For a storeroom opening where the outside lever stays rigid at all times, the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, 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 QL Series covers storeroom in-house with the QL82 function, where the outside lever is always rigid and the latchbolt is operated by key outside or by turning the inside lever.
7) What is the closest Grade 1 classroom lever to the Arrow QL87SR from another manufacturer?
The Dexter C1000 Series classroom lock (DEX-C1000-CLRM) is the closest peer: a Grade 1 keyed classroom cylindrical lever with a clutching lever, listed for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Arrow QL87SR is also Grade 1 cylindrical with the classroom function - key outside locks and unlocks the outside lever while the inside lever stays free - and is catalogued for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, so confirm your door thickness before swapping one for the other.
8) Do I need to order left hand or right hand for this Arrow lever?
No handing to specify. The QL Series lever is non-handed, so one part number covers both left and right swings. For a fleet of classroom doors that means a single SKU on the purchase order and one spare on the shelf.
9) Why choose a freewheeling lever for a school or dorm door?
Abuse resistance. On the QL Series the outside lever freewheels when locked instead of taking the load, so someone hanging on or forcing the handle is not transmitting that force into the lock chassis. That is the failure mode that kills locks on high traffic institutional doors. It installs with a two screw chassis, so swapping a whole wing of doors goes fast.
10) What latch comes with it, and can I get a spring latch instead of a deadlatch?
Standard is the deadlatch at 2-3/4 inch backset with 1/2 inch throw. Arrow also lists the Q73 spring latch and the Q71 dead latch as accessories, both 2-3/4 inch backset, 1/2 inch throw, so a replacement latch is available separately if yours is damaged or you need the other style. Wood and machine screws are supplied for mounting.
11) What other classroom lever locks could I use instead of the Arrow QL87?
For a Grade 1 classroom function, the Dexter C1000 Series classroom lever is the closest alternative, with a clutching keyed lever. If you need a stepped-up function where the room can be locked from inside, the Dexter C1000 Classroom Security version does that. On a lighter budget or lower traffic door, the Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever is Grade 2 with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway and the same 2-3/4 inch backset, so it keys into the same system.
12) Do I need a non-keyed lever for offices and closets in the same building, and can I keep the look consistent?
Passage is the function for a closet or office door that never locks: QL01, latchbolt operated by the lever from either side. Ordering QL01 in the same Sierra design and finish keeps every opening looking alike. For privacy on restrooms, QL02 and QL72 lock with an inside push button, release by turning the inside lever, closing the door, or an emergency key.
13) Is there a Grade 2 classroom lever alternative to the Arrow QL87SR?
Yes. The Cal-Royal AG03 is a Grade 2 classroom lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different and a 2-3/4 inch backset, which matches the Arrow QL87SR on keyway and backset while sitting a grade lower. The Arrow QL87SR is ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 with a freewheeling lever, which is the difference on a high-abuse opening.
14) The opening does not need to lock - what is the Grade 1 passage equivalent?
For a non-keyed passage opening, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage cylindrical lock with non-handed levers and a fire rating, fitting 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors; the Falcon T101 and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 are also Grade 1 passage levers, the CL3110 being vandal resistant and fire rated for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. The Arrow QL87SR is a keyed single-cylinder classroom lock, so it is more hardware than a passage opening needs.
15) Will a Baldwin 5103 or Emtek lever work as a substitute for the Arrow QL87SR?
No. The Baldwin Estate 5103 is offered in passage, privacy and half dummy functions, and the Emtek Arts and Crafts and Cortina leversets in the set are dummy pairs - none of them provide a keyed classroom function. The Arrow QL87SR is a keyed Grade 1 cylindrical classroom lock where the outside key locks and unlocks the outside lever, so a residential-style passage, privacy or dummy trim will not cover that opening.
16) Is there an electrified cylindrical lever option instead of the mechanical Arrow QL87SR?
Yes. The Corbin Russwin CL33903 is a Grade 1 fail safe electrified cylindrical lever running on 12VAC/DC, for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, with an NZ lever and D rose version available. The Arrow QL87SR is a mechanical key-operated classroom lock with a solid brass 6-pin cylinder, so choose the CL33903 if the opening is tied into an access control system.
17) For an office door that locks by inside turn button, what should I use instead of the Arrow QL87SR classroom lock?
Entrance/office function is the right call there. The Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical lever with entry/office function, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal AG00 is an entrance lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different on a 2-3/8 inch backset. Within the Arrow QL Series the QL81 entrance function handles it, with the outside lever locked by an inside turn button that must be manually released.
18) How far does the Sierra lever stick out from the door face?
Total projection from the face of the door is 2-17/32 inches (65mm). The Sierra lever is pressure cast zinc, 4-3/4 inches (121mm) long, on a wrought brass rose 3-11/32 inches (85mm) in diameter. The lever returns to within 1/2 inch of the door surface, which is what satisfies the California State Reference Code requirement for lever returns.
19) Can I use a keypad lever in place of the Arrow QL87SR on a classroom door?
A keypad lever removes the key from the opening rather than matching the classroom function. The Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock, and the Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever with passage function and ADA compliance for doors 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch thick. The Arrow QL87SR is a Grade 1 keyed classroom lock where the outside key locks and unlocks the outside lever - if your classroom policy is key-based lockdown, the keyed lock is the match.
20) What matching dummy trim pairs with a Grade 1 cylindrical lever program like the Arrow QL Series?
For inactive leaves in the same Grade 1 cylindrical program, the BEST 9K Series 1DT is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy trim and the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 single dummy cylindrical lever from the 5400 Series; the BEST 7KC Series 1DT is the Grade 2 medium duty equivalent. The Arrow QL87SR itself is a keyed Grade 1 classroom lockset, not a dummy.
