Arrow RLX17SR26D-CS 2-3/4 BS – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the classroom function on the Arrow RLX17SR actually do when a teacher locks the door?
Key from the outside locks or unlocks the outside lever only, and it stays that way until the key changes it. The inside lever is always free, so anyone can exit at any time without a key. The latchbolt works from either lever except when the outside lever is locked. That is why classroom function requires the teacher to step into the corridor with a key, which is the distinction from a classroom security or storeroom lock.
2) Do I need to specify handing for the Arrow RLX17SR lever lock?
No handing to specify. The RLX17SR is non-handed, so one part number covers left and right hand doors, in-swing or out-swing. For a property manager stocking spares across a building, that means a single SKU on the shelf instead of two.
3) Will the Arrow RLX17SR drop into my existing ANSI strike prep without reframing?
If the frame is prepped to the ASA/ANSI standard, yes. The RLX17SR ships with a 306 ASA ANSI strike measuring 4-7/8 by 1-1/4 inches, which is the common commercial frame cutout. The latch is a G71 deadlatch on a 2-3/4 inch backset with a 1-1/8 by 2-1/4 inch faceplate, so it matches a standard square-corner door edge mortise. Frames prepped for a small round-corner residential strike will need modification.
4) Is the Arrow RLX17SR ANSI Grade 2 good enough for a school corridor or is Grade 1 required?
The RLX17SR is BHMA A156.2 Series 4000 Grade 2 with an F84 ANSI function designation, which is the standard commercial duty tier for offices, classrooms and multi-family corridors. For high abuse openings where a specifier calls out Grade 1, look at a heavy duty classroom lock instead, such as the Dexter C1000 Series Grade 1 classroom cylindrical lever. The RLX does use a freewheeling lever, so force on a locked lever spins the lever rather than loading the chassis.
5) Is the Arrow RLX17SR keyed to a Schlage C keyway, and can I put it on my existing master key system?
It uses a Schlage C keyway with a 6-pin solid brass cylinder and ships with two nickel-plated brass keys, so it drops onto an existing Schlage C keyed system without swapping cylinders. It is a single cylinder lock, keyed outside only. If your facility runs small format interchangeable core, IC prep is available on the RLX series.
6) What are the alternatives to the Arrow RLX17SR classroom lever from other brands?
Closest same-tier option is the Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever, also Grade 2 with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway on a 2-3/4 inch backset, so it keys into the same system. Stepping up to heavy duty, the Dexter C1000 Series Grade 1 classroom lever is clutching and covers a 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door, and Dexter also makes a C1000 classroom security version if you want the door lockable from inside the room. Note the Cal-Royal AG05 and Hager 2580 are Grade 2 storeroom locks, not classroom, so the outside lever stays locked at all times and cannot be keyed open for the class period.
7) Will the Arrow RLX17SR work on a 1-3/8 inch interior door?
No, not as specified. The RLX17SR covers 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors, and 1-3/8 inch is the common older interior door thickness that falls below it. For a thinner leaf, a lock with a wider range fits better: the Hager 2510 Grade 2 lever covers 1-3/8 to 2 inches, and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 covers 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches.
8) I need a lever that works on a 1-3/8 inch door - will the Arrow RLX17SR fit?
The Arrow RLX17SR is specified for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors and is factory set for 1-3/4 inch. For a thinner leaf, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial entry lever covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 fire rated passage lever covering 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. If the opening is a keyed classroom on a 1-3/8 inch door, the Dexter C1000 classroom is Grade 1 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch and holds the same function.
9) Which classroom lever should I use if the specification calls for Grade 1?
The Dexter C1000 Series classroom lock is the Grade 1 step up from the Arrow RLX17SR classroom lever. Both are keyed classroom-function cylindrical levers, and both use a clutching or freewheeling outside lever so force on the locked lever does not transfer to the latch retractor. The C1000 classroom is listed Grade 1 with a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range; the RLX17SR is Grade 2 and fits 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. On a school corridor door where the drawing says ANSI Grade 1, the C1000 is the one that meets the line.
10) What do I use if teachers need to lock the classroom door from inside during a lockdown?
That calls for a classroom security lock rather than the Arrow RLX17SR. On the RLX17SR the outside lever is locked and unlocked by key from the outside only, and the inside lever is always free, so a teacher has to open the door and step into the corridor to lock it. The Dexter C1000 Series classroom security lock is a Grade 1 clutching keyed lever built for that opening, with a keyed cylinder on both sides so the outside lever can be locked from inside the room. For an opening where lockdown from within the classroom is the requirement, the classroom security function is the one that answers it.
11) Can a storeroom lever be used in place of the Arrow RLX17SR classroom lever?
They are different functions and they behave differently at the door. The RLX17SR is a classroom lock: the outside lever is left unlocked or locked by key, and once unlocked it stays unlocked until someone keys it again. A storeroom lock keeps the outside lever locked at all times and retracts the latch by key only, so the door cannot be left in a passage state. The Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt, and the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with the Withnell lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. Use storeroom on a stock or mechanical room; use the RLX17SR classroom where the room is meant to be opened up for a class period.
12) Is the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever the same thing as the Arrow RLX17SR?
No, and the difference is at the latch prep as well as the function. The Cal-Royal AG00 is an entrance lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway on a 2-3/8 inch backset; the Arrow RLX17SR is a classroom lever on a 2-3/4 inch backset. If the existing latch prep in the door is 2-3/4 inch, the AG00 as listed does not drop into it. Entrance/office function also lets the outside lever be locked by a button or turn from inside, where classroom function on the RLX17SR is locked and unlocked by key from the outside only.
13) What else do I need to buy to install an Arrow RLX17SR, or is everything in the box?
Everything for a standard install is included: latch, ASA strike, cylinder with two keys, and both wood and machine screws so it goes into a wood or hollow metal door as supplied. The RLX uses removable through bolts, which is what lets you service the lock without pulling the chassis. Replacement fastener sets are sold as the RLX-201A screw pack covering chassis, rose and thru-bolts.
14) I need matching passage and storeroom levers for the rest of the doors on the same floor. What matches the Arrow RLX17SR trim?
The Sierra lever and rose carry across the whole RLX line, so the other functions match visually on adjacent openings: RLX01-SR passage, RLX72-SR privacy, RLX81-SR entrance/office, RLX82-SR storeroom and RLX87-SR classroom. For a door that only needs a pull or dead trim to match the active leaf, RLX08-SR is the single dummy, rigid trim for one side only.
15) Should I use a cylindrical lever lock or a mortise lock for a classroom retrofit?
For replacing an existing bored lockset, a cylindrical lever like the RLX17SR is the direct swap, since it uses the cross bore and 2-3/4 inch backset prep already in the door and needs no new mortise pocket cut. A mortise lock only makes sense when the door is already prepped for one or when you need auxiliary deadbolt and multiple functions in a single case. Arrow positions the RLX as a professional replacement product for exactly this kind of commercial lockset upgrade.
16) What matches the Arrow RLX17SR on the doors in the same corridor that are not keyed?
For unkeyed openings in the same run, the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 cylindrical passage lever with a non-handed design, matching the RLX17SR on grade and on the non-handed chassis. The Hager 2510 is another Grade 2 passage lever, fitting 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. Passage function means the lever always retracts the latch from both sides with no cylinder, which is what a closet, storage alcove, or corridor pass-through door wants next to a keyed classroom.
17) What is the difference between the Arrow RLX17SR and a Grade 3 lever like the Cal-Royal AUS00?
Grade is the difference that matters for traffic. The Arrow RLX17SR is certified to BHMA A156.2 Grade 2 and UL Listed, built for commercial use. The Cal-Royal AUS00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office lever with a solid brass forged body fitting 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 passage lever for the same thickness range. Grade 3 is the residential-duty tier; on a school, office, or multi-family corridor door taking constant cycles, the Grade 2 RLX17SR is the tier the spec normally calls for.
18) Is there a keyless alternative to the Arrow RLX17SR so staff do not carry keys?
Yes. The Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function and ADA compliance, fitting 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination for 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock. Those trade the cylinder for a code, so there is no key to issue or rekey; the Arrow RLX17SR takes a 6-pin solid brass cylinder with IC prep available, which is what keeps it inside an existing master key system.
19) What do I order for the inactive leaf next to an Arrow RLX17SR classroom door?
A dummy trim, not a second lockset. Within the Arrow RLX line, the RLX08-SR is rigid trim for one side of the door only, used as a pull or to match the active trim. If the pair does not have to match the Sierra lever, the BEST 7KC Series 1DT is a Grade 2 non-keyed single dummy trim, and the BEST 9K Series 1DT is the Grade 1 heavy duty equivalent. Dummy trim has no latch and no chassis, so it mounts to the face of the leaf and does not need a bore-through prep.
20) Which lever holds up best on a high-abuse door where levers get hung on?
The Arrow RLX17SR uses freewheeling lever action as standard, so downward force on a locked outside lever turns the lever without loading the chassis. Two Grade 1 peers take the same approach from different directions: the Falcon T101 is a heavy duty cylindrical passage lever with pressure release technology, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever, fire rated, for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. Both of those are passage function with no cylinder, so they suit an unkeyed abuse-prone opening; the RLX17SR is the keyed classroom answer with the same abuse-resistant lever behavior at Grade 2.
21) What replaces an Arrow RLX17SR on a patient room or utility door in a healthcare building?
An asylum or institutional function is the right call there. The Dexter C1000 Series asylum lock is a Grade 1 cylindrical lock in the F87 asylum/institution/utility function for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, keyed on both sides so the room can be secured from either side. The Arrow RLX17SR is the F84 classroom function, keyed outside only with the inside lever always free, which is the opposite of what a utility or secure patient room needs.
22) The bathroom next to the classroom needs a lever - what goes there instead of the Arrow RLX17SR?
A privacy lever, which locks by turn or button from inside with an emergency release outside and takes no key. The Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy lock with the Withnell lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, holding the same Grade 2 tier as the Arrow RLX17SR. The Kwikset 300BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 privacy lever for lighter-traffic residential use. The RLX17SR is a keyed classroom lock and would put a restroom on the key system, which is not what a restroom wants.
23) What do I use if the classroom door needs to release on the fire alarm?
That requires an electrified lever, not the mechanical Arrow RLX17SR. 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, available with the NZ lever and D rose. Fail safe means removing power unlocks the lever, which is how an access control or alarm release sequence is wired. The RLX17SR shares that 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch door range but is key-operated only, with no electrical option.
24) What finish does the Arrow RLX17SR come in, and will it match existing satin chrome hardware?
It is supplied in 626 satin chrome, the standard commercial finish that matches most existing satin chrome levers, closers and exit hardware in an institutional building. Across the RLX series the finish options are 03/605/US3 bright brass, 613E/US10BE dark oxide satin bronze equivalent, and 26D/626/US26D satin chromium plated.
25) What does the freewheeling lever on the Arrow RLX handle actually protect against?
When the outside lever is locked, the lever spins free rather than transmitting force into the chassis. That is the vandalism failure mode on a school or public corridor lock, someone hanging on or yanking a locked lever, and the RLX takes it as standard across the series. It is what puts a Grade 2 lock into openings that would otherwise chew through one.
26) Can I use an Accentra Augusta lever to match the Arrow RLX17SR across a floor?
Only for the unkeyed openings. The Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 cylindrical lever in passage/hall/closet function, the 4601LN is a Grade 2 passage lever with Augusta trim, and the 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 single dummy. None of those are keyed, so they cover the closets, corridors, and inactive leaves but not the classroom itself. The Arrow RLX17SR remains the keyed classroom lever with a 6-pin Schlage C cylinder; mixing brands across a floor also means the levers will not visually match, since the RLX carries the Sierra lever design.
27) Is a Baldwin Estate 5103 lever an alternative to the Arrow RLX17SR?
They serve different buildings. The Baldwin Estate 5103 comes as a passage lever, a privacy lever, and left or right hand half dummy versions, all on the 5048 rose - a decorative residential line with no classroom function and handed dummy trim. The Arrow RLX17SR is a non-handed commercial classroom lever certified to BHMA A156.2 Grade 2. For a school, office, or common-area door on a key system, the Estate 5103 does not cover the function.
