Arrow QL97SR26D-CS 2-3/4 BS – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How does the Arrow QL Series classroom lever lock actually work day to day for a teacher?
Both levers turn the latchbolt normally. A key on the outside locks or unlocks the outside lever only, and the inside lever is always free so anyone inside can get out without a key. That is the classic classroom arrangement: the room stays locked down from the corridor side once keyed, and egress is never blocked.
2) Will the Arrow QL Series lever drop into an existing cylindrical lock prep?
It goes into a standard cylindrical prep: 2-1/8 inch cross bore, 2-3/4 inch backset, and a 1-1/8 x 2-1/4 inch latch face. The strike is the 306 ASA ANSI strike at 4-7/8 x 1-1/4 inches, so if the frame already has ANSI strike prep you are not cutting the jamb. Arrow calls out 161 prep for retrofit.
3) Do I need to order the Arrow QL lever handed for a left or right hand door?
No. The QL Series cylindrical lever is non-handed, so one part number covers both swings and you can stock a single SKU across a building instead of splitting left and right.
4) Is this Arrow lever lock rated for a fire door in a school corridor?
It is UL and cUL listed for 3 hour, A label single swinging doors, and it meets ANSI/BHMA A156.2 Series 4000 Grade 1 along with Federal Specification FF-H-106C. For accessibility it is listed under ANSI A117.1 and ADA Section 4.13.9, and the lever returns to within 1/2 inch of the door face for the California reference code.
5) What keyway does the Arrow QL lever come with, and can I put my own core in it?
Standard cylinder is solid brass, 6-pin, keyed different, in either Arrow A or Schlage C keyway, and two brass keys ship with it. If your facility is already keyed on Schlage C you can key it into the existing system. Arrow also offers the QL prepped for small format or large format interchangeable core, in which case the core is bought separately.
6) Will the Arrow QL lever latch reliably into my existing strike?
The latch is stainless steel with a 1/2 inch throw and a guarded latchbolt on all locking functions, UL listed. A 1/2 inch throw is what a standard ANSI strike and a normally hung frame are cut for, so if the gap between door and jamb is within normal tolerance it will latch. The supplied latch is the deadlatch at 2-3/4 inch backset.
7) What is the closest Grade 1 classroom security lever to the Arrow QL97SR from another brand?
The Dexter C1000 Series classroom security cylindrical lever lock is the nearest equivalent. It is a Grade 1 keyed clutching lever built for the classroom security function, the same function family as the Arrow QL97SR, which is a Grade 1 cylindrical leverset with a freewheeling lever where a key on either the inside or outside locks and unlocks the outside lever. The Dexter C1000 classroom security lists a door thickness range of 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, while the Arrow QL97SR is listed for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, so confirm your door thickness before swapping one for the other.
8) What do I use instead of the Arrow QL97SR if the door needs to release on a fire alarm or access control signal?
A mechanical classroom security lever cannot be released remotely. For an electrified opening, the Corbin Russwin CL33903 is a Grade 1 fail safe cylindrical lever in 12VAC/DC, listed for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, and is available in a keyed version. The Arrow QL97SR is a mechanical Grade 1 cylindrical lock keyed on both sides, with no electrical control.
9) Why choose a freewheeling lever lock for a school or dorm corridor?
The QL lever freewheels when locked, so force applied to the handle spins it rather than transferring into the lock chassis. That is the difference that matters in high abuse traffic like schools and student housing, where a fixed rigid lever is what usually gets broken. It also installs with a two screw chassis, which speeds up a large replacement program.
10) What else could I use instead of the Arrow QL classroom lever if Grade 1 is not required?
If the opening only calls for Grade 2, the Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever is a Grade 2 alternative also cut for Schlage C, 6-pin, keyed different, with a 2-3/4 inch backset. For a Grade 1 classroom lever from another brand, the Dexter C1000 Series classroom lock is a clutching keyed Grade 1 option. Grade 1 is the heavier ANSI/BHMA duty tier and is what most school and institutional specs call for.
11) I need a storeroom function instead of classroom on the same door prep. What are my options?
Arrow builds the QL Series in a storeroom function where the outside lever is always rigid and the latchbolt is retracted by key outside or by turning the inside lever, so it shares the same chassis and prep as the classroom version. From other brands we carry, the Hager 2580 with Withnell lever and the Cal-Royal AG05 with deadlocking latchbolt are both Grade 2 storeroom cylindrical locks.
12) Which lever should I use on the non-keyed doors in the same corridor as the Arrow QL97SR?
For the passage openings alongside a keyed classroom door, Grade 1 options include the Falcon K101, a heavy duty non-keyed passage cylindrical lock with non-handed levers and a fire rating, the Falcon T101 heavy duty passage lever, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 vandal resistant passage lever, and the Design Hardware X75 flat-lever passage lockset. The Arrow QL97SR is non-handed as well, so a non-handed passage lock keeps stocking simple across the run.
13) Will a Kwikset or Baldwin lever work as a substitute for the Arrow QL97SR?
No. The Kwikset 200BRNL Breton and 300BRNL Breton are Grade 3 passage and privacy levers, and the Baldwin Estate 5103 is offered in passage, privacy and half dummy versions. None of those carry a keyed classroom or classroom security function. The Arrow QL97SR is a Grade 1 keyed cylindrical lever with single cylinder keying, so a residential-grade passage or privacy lever is not an interchangeable replacement on a classroom opening.
14) My opening takes a 2-3/8 inch backset. What is an alternative to the Arrow QL97SR?
The Cal-Royal AG00 is an entrance lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different on a 2-3/8 inch backset, listed for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Arrow QL97SR is built on a 2-3/4 inch backset with a G71 deadlatch, so it is not the right fit for a 2-3/8 inch bore centerline. Note the Cal-Royal AG00 is an entrance/office function rather than classroom security.
15) For a utility or institutional room rather than a classroom, is there a different function than the Arrow QL97SR?
Yes. The Dexter C1000 Series asylum lock is a Grade 1 F87 asylum, institution and utility function lever listed for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, which is keyed on both sides for continuous control of the opening. The Arrow QL97SR is also Grade 1 and keyed both sides, but the outside lever locks and unlocks by key while the inside lever always operates the latchbolt, which is the difference that matters for egress on an institutional door.
16) How much does the Arrow QL Sierra lever stick out from the door, and what size is the rose?
Total projection from the face of the door is 2-17/32 inches (65mm). The Sierra lever is pressure cast zinc at 4-3/4 inches long, and the rose is wrought brass at 3-11/32 inches diameter. Worth checking against narrow trim, door stops, or adjacent pull hardware before you commit on a job.
17) What finishes does the Arrow QL Sierra lever come in for matching other openings in a building?
Three finishes: 605/US3 bright brass, 613e/US10BE dark oxide satin bronze equivalent, and 626/US26D satin chromium plated. 626 satin chrome is the common commercial match and is the finish ordered here.
18) Is there a keyless option if I do not want to issue keys like the Arrow QL97SR requires?
Yes. The Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function and ADA compliance, listed for 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with adjustable backset for 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock. The Arrow QL97SR is a keyed lock using a 6-pin Arrow A or Schlage C keyway with two brass keys supplied, so the keypad units change how the door is controlled rather than matching it function for function.
19) I need a matching dummy lever for the inactive leaf next to an Arrow QL97SR opening. What are the Grade 1 choices?
For Grade 1 dummy trim, the BEST 9K Series 1DT is a single dummy trim cylindrical lever lock rated heavy duty, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 single dummy cylindrical lever in the 5400 Series. A Grade 2 option is the BEST 7KC Series single dummy trim, listed as medium duty. Dummy trim has no latch at all, unlike the Arrow QL97SR, which ships with a G71 deadlatch on a 2-3/4 inch backset.
