Cal-Royal AG00 US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever fit a 1-3/8 inch door, or is it only for 1-3/4?
Both. The AG00 covers a door thickness range of 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, so it works on older interior doors as well as standard commercial 1-3/4 inch doors. Backset is 2-3/8 inches, which is the shallower of the two common bored-lock backsets, so check what your existing door is prepped for before swapping.
2) Can I key the Cal-Royal AG00 into my existing Schlage master key system?
The AG00 ships with a 6-pin cylinder in the Schlage C keyway, keyed different. Because it is a standard C keyway, a locksmith can rekey or master key it into an existing Schlage C system using common C key blanks. As supplied it is KD, so each lock has its own key until you have them keyed alike or mastered.
3) What does entrance function mean on the AG00 and is it the right lock for an apartment or office door?
Entrance function means the outside lever is locked or unlocked by key, and the inside lever always retracts the latch for free egress. That suits apartment entry doors, offices, and tenant suites where someone inside needs to get out without a key. If you want a door that stays locked outside at all times and cannot be left unlocked, a storeroom function like the Hager 2580 with the Withnell lever is the better choice.
4) What is a comparable Grade 2 commercial entrance lever to the Cal-Royal AG00?
The Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle, and the Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 cylindrical lever lock with entry/office function. The Cal-Royal AG00 is a Grade 2 entrance lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway cylinder keyed different and a 2-3/8 inch backset, fitting doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch thick. The Hager 2525 is listed for doors 1-3/8 to 2 inch thick, so it covers thicker doors than the AG00 range.
5) I need a heavier-duty lever than the Cal-Royal AG00 for a high-traffic opening. What should I look at?
Step up to Grade 1. The Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical lock with non-handed levers, fire rated, for doors 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch thick, and the Falcon T101 is a Grade 1 heavy-duty cylindrical lever. The Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant, fire rated cylindrical lever for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors. Those three are passage function, so if you need the keyed entrance function the AG00 provides, the Grade 2 AG00 with its 6-pin Schlage C cylinder remains the keyed option.
6) Is a passage lever the same as the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever?
No. The Cal-Royal AG00 is a keyed entrance lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway cylinder. Passage levers such as the Accentra 5301LN Augusta Grade 2, the Arrow GL01 Grade 2 Sierra lever, the Hager 2510 Grade 2 Withnell, and the Design Hardware J75 Grade 2 flat lever are non-keyed and will not lock. Use those on halls and closets, and the AG00 where the door has to be secured with a key.
7) I need the lever to be keyed outside but always latched for a storeroom, not an entrance. What is the alternative to the Cal-Royal AG00?
The Hager 2580 with Withnell lever is a Grade 2 storeroom function cylindrical lock for doors 1-3/8 to 2 inch thick, which keeps the outside lever locked at all times. The Cal-Royal AG00 is entrance function, where the outside lever can be left unlocked for traffic, so the two are not interchangeable on a storeroom opening.
8) I need the lever to release on a fire alarm or card reader. Is the Cal-Royal AG00 the right part?
No. The Cal-Royal AG00 is a mechanical keyed entrance lever with no electrical provision. For an electrified opening, the Corbin Russwin CL33903 is a Grade 1 fail safe cylindrical lever available in 12VAC/DC for doors 1-3/4 to 2 inch thick, including a keyed 12VAC/DC configuration. Confirm your door falls in that 1-3/4 to 2 inch range, since the AG00 covers 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch.
9) Which entrance lever should I specify for a federally funded project or a Florida coastal building?
The Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever complies with the Buy American Act and carries Florida hurricane approval FL13922, along with BHMA Grade 2 and ANSI A156.2 certification. Peer Grade 2 entrance levers such as the Hager 2525 and the Falcon B511CP6D are specified on grade and function, so where the submittal asks for domestic compliance or Florida product approval, the AG00 is the one to carry.
10) Is Grade 2 enough for a school or hospital corridor door, or do I need Grade 1?
The AG00 is BHMA Grade 2 certified to ANSI A156.2, which is the heavy commercial tier below Grade 1 and is commonly specified for offices, schools, apartments, and hotel doors. For openings taking abuse or very high cycle counts, some specs call for Grade 1 cylindrical, such as the Dexter C1000 Series or the Falcon K Series. Match whatever the door schedule calls out.
11) Can I use the Cal-Royal AG00 on a federally funded or government project?
Yes. The AG00 is Buy American Act compliant, which is what most federal and federally funded jobs require on hardware submittals. It also carries Florida hurricane approval FL13922, so it can be used on openings in storm-prone Florida jurisdictions.
12) Can the AG00 be ordered with an interchangeable core or thru-bolt installation?
Those are available configurations on the AG00, along with a clutch system and tactile or lead lining for specialty openings. The standard build is the 6-pin Schlage C conventional cylinder, so if you run a small-format IC system or need thru-bolting on a metal door, specify it at order time rather than assuming it comes that way.
13) I need the same lever style on doors that do not lock. What do I pair with the AG00?
The AG00 is keyed entrance only, so passage and privacy doors need a separate lockset. Within the Grade 2 commercial range ZenSupply carries, the Hager 2510 Withnell passage lever and the Falcon B101 passage lever cover hall and closet doors, and the Accentra 5301LN Augusta is another Grade 2 passage option. Lever style will not match the AG00 exactly across brands, so if appearance matters on the same corridor, stay within one series.
14) What is the closest alternative to the Cal-Royal AG00 if I want another brand's Grade 2 keyed entry lever?
The Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lever covering 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, and the Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 entry/office cylindrical lever. Both are keyed entry-class cylindrical locks in the same tier as the AG00. If the opening is residential rather than commercial, Grade 3 options like the Callan Artino entrance leverset exist, but they are a lighter duty class than the AG00.
15) What is a lighter-duty alternative to the Cal-Royal AG00 for residential doors?
For residential work the Callan Artino is a Grade 3 entrance leverset and the Master Lock BC Series RL is a Grade 3 return style keyed entry lockset; the Callan Bennett is a Grade 3 entrance leverset packaged with a deadbolt combo. All three are keyed entrance function like the Cal-Royal AG00, but the AG00 is Grade 2 and certified to ANSI A156.2 for commercial traffic in offices, schools, hospitals, and hotels.
16) Which lever should I use for a classroom or an institutional cell instead of the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever?
For classrooms, the Dexter C1000 is offered in Grade 1 classroom and Grade 1 classroom security functions, both clutching and keyed, for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch thick, the same thickness range the Cal-Royal AG00 covers. For institutional and utility openings requiring key operation on both sides, the Arrow MK33-BD-CS is a Grade 2 asylum function lock with a conventional Schlage C keyway cylinder, matching the AG00's 6-pin Schlage C keyway for keying, though it uses a ball knob rather than a lever.
17) Can I use a dummy lever in place of the Cal-Royal AG00 to match the look on an inactive door?
Yes, that is the usual approach for an inactive leaf, but a dummy has no latch and no key. The BEST 7KC single dummy trim is Grade 2 medium duty and the BEST 9K 1DT is Grade 1 heavy duty; the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 single dummy, and the Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever. The Cal-Royal AG00 is the working half with a keyed entrance function and a 2-3/8 inch backset latch, so pair a dummy only where the door does not need to latch.
18) What should I use instead of the Cal-Royal AG00 if I want to stop issuing keys?
Keyless lever options include the Delaney LP250 Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock, the Emtek Classic keypad leverset, and the mechanical pushbutton Lockey 2835 and Lockey 1150 lever sets. The Lockey 2835 fits doors 1 3/16 to 2 inch thick and the Lockey 1150 fits 1-1/8 to 2 inch. The Cal-Royal AG00 is a keyed mechanical lever using a 6-pin Schlage C cylinder, which is the choice if the building is already keyed to Schlage C.
19) Is the Accentra 107S Schlage cylinder adapter kit needed with the Cal-Royal AG00?
No. The Accentra 107S is a Schlage cylinder adapter kit for Yale hardware, used to put a Schlage-style cylinder into Yale locks. The Cal-Royal AG00 already ships with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway cylinder keyed different, so no adapter is involved.
20) Is the Arrow HK11-BB a substitute for the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever?
Functionally close but not the same trim. The Arrow HK11-BB is a Grade 2 turn-pushbutton entrance lock with a conventional cylinder for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch thick, matching the Cal-Royal AG00 on grade and door thickness range. The difference is the handle: the Arrow uses a ball knob, while the AG00 is a lever, which is what most projects specify for accessible openings.
21) Does the Cal-Royal AG00 lever sag after heavy use?
It is built against that. Each side of the lever carries its own spring, which is what keeps a lever from drooping over time on a high-traffic door. The trim is wrought brass, bronze, or stainless steel with zinc cast levers plated to match the finish.
22) What finish does the Cal-Royal AG00 come in, and will it match the rest of my building?
Satin Chrome, 626 / US26D. That is the standard commercial finish on most office, school, and multifamily openings, so it will sit alongside typical 626 closers, hinges, and exit devices without looking off.
23) I need a bathroom or bedroom lever alongside the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance levers. What matches the application?
Privacy function is the right choice there. The Hager 2540 with Withnell lever and the Arrow MK02-TA Tudor knob privacy lock are both non-keyed privacy products, the Arrow being fire rated, and the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 privacy lever for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch thick. The Cal-Royal AG00 is keyed entrance function and covers the same 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door thickness, so it stays on the entry doors.
24) Does the Cal-Royal AG00 come in decorative finishes like the Baldwin or Emtek levers?
The Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever is supplied in 626/US26D satin chrome, with wrought brass, bronze, or stainless steel trim and zinc cast levers plated to match the finish. If the opening calls for a decorative residential look, the Baldwin Estate 5103 with 5048 rose is offered in passage, privacy, and half dummy in left and right hand, and Emtek offers Arts and Crafts and Cortina levers as dummy pairs. Those decorative options are not keyed entrance function and do not carry the AG00's BHMA Grade 2 and ANSI A156.2 certification.
