Arrow RLX72SR26D 2-3/4 BS – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Arrow RLX72SR privacy lever latch into my existing ANSI strike prep?
If the frame is prepped for a standard ASA strike, yes. The RLX72SR 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 the door edge prep has to match that backset, not the 2-3/8 inch residential one.
2) Do I have to order the Arrow RLX72SR left hand or right hand?
Neither. The RLX72SR Sierra lever is non-handed, so one part number covers doors swinging either direction. That is why it works as a fleet item for a property manager stocking replacements without tracking handing per opening.
3) Is a Grade 2 privacy lever strong enough for a commercial restroom that gets hung on?
That is the case the RLX Series is built for. It is certified to BHMA A156.2, Series 4000, Grade 2 and UL Listed, and the lever is freewheeling (clutched) as standard, so when someone forces or hangs on the lever it spins free instead of transferring torque into the chassis. Arrow lists the RLX as commercial-rated hardware, and it carries the ANSI F84 function designation.
4) Can I match Arrow RLX Sierra levers across a building where some doors need keys and some just need privacy?
Yes, the Sierra lever design runs across the whole RLX function range so the trim looks the same on every opening. The RLX72-SR is the privacy function for restrooms and bedrooms; RLX01-SR is passage, RLX81-SR entrance/office, RLX82-SR storeroom, RLX87-SR classroom, and RLX08-SR is a single dummy used as a pull or to match the active trim on the inactive leaf.
5) Will the Arrow RLX72SR go straight into a door that already has a cylindrical lockset?
That is what it is built for. The RLX is an Arrow Professional Replacement Product, a bored cylindrical set intended for replacing or upgrading existing commercial locksets. It mounts through the standard cross-bore with removable through bolts, and it ships with both wood and machine screws so it can go into a hollow metal or a wood door. Confirm the existing bore is on a 2-3/4 inch backset, since that is what the supplied G71 deadlatch is.
6) What is a comparable Grade 2 commercial privacy lever to the Arrow RLX72SR?
The Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever and a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range. The Arrow RLX72SR is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical leverset with the Sierra lever design, non-handed, on a 2-3/4 inch backset G71 deadlatch and a 306 ASA ANSI strike measuring 4-7/8 inch by 1-1/4 inch. Both are commercial-duty bored locksets; the difference is the lever style and the trim family they match on adjacent doors.
7) My opening uses a 2-3/8 inch backset - is the Arrow RLX72SR still the right lever?
The Arrow RLX72SR ships with a G71 deadlatch on a 2-3/4 inch backset, so it suits a 2-3/4 inch bore. The Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever is a Grade 2 lever built on a 2-3/8 inch backset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever in the same AG Series uses a 2-3/4 inch backset. Confirm the existing cross bore center before ordering.
8) What is a clutched or freewheeling lever and why would I pick one over a standard lever lock?
On a clutched lever, the outside lever turns freely when the lock is secured rather than driving the retractor. A standard lever is rigid, so abuse at the handle goes straight into the chassis and the spindle, which is the usual failure in schools, dorms and public restrooms. The Arrow RLX Series builds that freewheeling action in as standard across its Grade 2 cylindrical locksets, which is the main reason to choose it over a plain Grade 2 lever on a high-traffic door.
9) I need a clutched lever but the spec calls for Grade 1. What should I look at instead of the Arrow RLX?
The RLX72SR is Grade 2, so it will not meet a Grade 1 spec. The Dexter C1000 Series is a Grade 1 clutching cylindrical lever available in classroom, classroom security and passage functions, with classroom and passage covering 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. If the spec is Grade 1 and vandal resistance is the driver, the Corbin Russwin CL3100 Series CL3110 passage lock is a Grade 1 vandal resistant cylindrical lever for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors and is fire rated.
10) The opening does not need to lock - what do I use instead of the Arrow RLX72SR privacy lever?
For a hall, closet or corridor door that only needs latching, a passage function lever is the right swap. The Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 non-handed cylindrical passage lever, the Hager 2510 is a Grade 2 passage lever with the Withnell design for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 passage/closet cylindrical lever. The Arrow RLX72SR is the privacy version, which adds the inside locking button for bedrooms and restrooms.
11) I need a residential-duty privacy lever instead of the Arrow RLX72SR - what should I look at?
The Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever set is a Grade 3 privacy/bed/bath lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. The Arrow RLX72SR is a Grade 2 commercial privacy leverset. For apartment interiors or single-family bedrooms and baths, the Grade 3 Kwikset carries a lighter cycle rating; for corridor and tenant-turnover traffic in a commercial building, the Grade 2 Arrow is the heavier of the two.
12) I need a keyed lever on the same door series as the Arrow RLX72SR - what are the options?
For keyed openings in the same Grade 2 commercial class, 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, the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with the Withnell design, and the Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 entry/office cylindrical lever. The Arrow RLX72SR is the privacy function with the inside button rather than a key cylinder for access control.
13) Is a dummy lever an acceptable substitute for the Arrow RLX72SR?
No. Dummy trim such as the BEST 7KC single dummy, the BEST 9K 1DT single dummy, or the Accentra 455LN Augusta single dummy is fixed trim with no latch and no locking - it is used as a pull or to match active trim on an inactive leaf. The Arrow RLX72SR is a privacy cylindrical lockset with a live latchbolt on a 2-3/4 inch backset. Dummy trim only matches appearance; it will not secure or latch the door.
14) I want a decorative privacy lever rather than the Arrow RLX72SR - what is available?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with the 5048 rose is a privacy/bed/bath lever in a decorative residential style, with matching passage and left and right hand half dummy versions in the same 5103 trim for adjacent doors. The Arrow RLX72SR is a commercial Grade 2 privacy leverset with the Sierra lever and a freewheeling clutch for abuse resistance. Choose the Baldwin where appearance drives the spec and the Arrow where traffic does.
15) What finish does the Arrow RLX72SR Sierra privacy lever come in?
Satin chrome, 626. Arrow lists the RLX Series finish range as 605/US3 bright brass, 613E/US10BE dark oxide satin bronze equivalent, and 626/US26D satin chromium plated; 626 is the one this Sierra privacy lever is built in, and it is the standard commercial match for most existing door hardware.
16) If I lose the mounting screws on an Arrow RLX lever, can I get just the hardware pack?
Yes. Arrow catalogs RLX-201A as the screw pack covering the chassis, rose and through bolts for the RLX Series, so you do not have to buy a complete lockset to rebuild one that came off a door.
17) Can I use a keypad lever in place of the Arrow RLX72SR?
A keypad lever is a different access method, not a privacy substitute. The Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function and ADA compliance for 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock. Those control entry by code from the outside; the Arrow RLX72SR is a privacy function locked from the inside only, which is what restrooms and bedrooms require.
18) What is a Grade 3 alternative to the Arrow RLX72SR for light-duty interior doors?
Grade 3 leversets in the set include the Callan Asheville passage lever in satin nickel, the Callan Artino entrance lever, the Cal-Royal AUS00 entrance/office lever with a solid brass forged body for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever. The Arrow RLX72SR is Grade 2 and carries the privacy function, so none of those Grade 3 units matches both its grade and its inside-locking function.
