Cal-Royal AG03-626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever fit my existing 2-1/8 inch bored door prep?
Yes, as long as the prep is a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore with a 2-3/4 inch backset. The AG03 is built around that prep, with a 2-1/4 x 1-1/8 inch square corner latch faceplate and an ASA 4-7/8 x 1-1/4 inch strike. It fits doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick. If your doors are prepped at a 2-3/8 inch backset, order that version instead (it takes the 2-1/4 x 1 inch faceplate), and 3-3/4 inch and 5 inch backsets are also offered for wide stile prep.
2) Do I have to specify handing when ordering a Cal-Royal AG03 lever?
No. The AG03 is a non-handed lever with a reversible latch, so one part covers both right hand and left hand doors. That is useful for a property manager or maintenance shop stocking spares, since a single lock covers every opening in the building rather than two handed SKUs.
3) What does the classroom function actually do on this Cal-Royal lever?
Classroom function means the outside lever is locked and unlocked by key only, from the outside. There is no inside button or turn, so nobody can accidentally lock the room from within. The inside lever always retracts the latch for free egress. The AG03 ships with a 6-pin solid brass Schlage C keyway cylinder, keyed different, with two keys.
4) Can I get the Cal-Royal AG03 keyed into my building's existing key system?
It is offered in a wide range of keyways beyond the standard Schlage C: Schlage E, Schlage C-K, Russwin D1-4, Corbin 59/60, Corbin-Russwin L4, Sargent LA-LC, Falcon/Weiser E, Arrow A, Yale 8/GA, Kwikset, Medeco, Assa, Kaba, and Cal-Royal HSK. If you run interchangeable cores, the IC prefix accepts 6- or 7-pin Best, Falcon and Arrow cores, and construction cores are available for new work.
5) Is the Cal-Royal AG03 lever rated for a fire door?
The latch bolt is UL listed to meet fire rating standards, and the classroom function is appropriate on a fire-rated opening because there is no inside locking to defeat egress. The deadlatch itself is 1/2 inch solid brass and reversible.
6) Is a Grade 2 lever heavy duty enough for a school corridor?
The AG03 is certified to BHMA/ANSI A156.2 Grade 2, Series 4000, and exceeds 400,000 operational cycles. That covers heavy-duty commercial traffic in schools, offices, hospitals and hotels. If your spec calls out Grade 1 specifically, the Dexter C1000 Series classroom lever is a Grade 1 clutching keyed classroom lock fitting 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.
7) Can the Cal-Royal AG03 go on a 2 inch thick door?
No. The AG03 covers 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors only. For thicker leaves, look at the Falcon K101, rated 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches, or the Hager 2525, rated 1-3/8 to 2 inches, though both are non-classroom functions. Measure the leaf before ordering rather than assuming standard 1-3/4.
8) What is the closest Grade 1 alternative to the Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever?
The Dexter C1000 Series classroom cylindrical lever lock is the Grade 1 counterpart with the same classroom function. It is a clutching keyed lever rated ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the same door thickness range the AG03 covers. The Cal-Royal AG03 is BHMA/ANSI A156.2 Grade 2 with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway cylinder keyed different. Specify the Dexter where the door schedule calls out Grade 1 classroom hardware; specify the AG03 where Grade 2 satisfies the spec and you want the Schlage C keyway built in.
9) We need a classroom security lock instead of a standard classroom function - what should we order?
Use the Dexter C1000 Series classroom security cylindrical lever lock. It is a Grade 1 clutching keyed lever with a classroom security function, meaning both sides are key-operated so an instructor can lock the door from inside without stepping into the corridor. The Cal-Royal AG03 is a classroom function lever, where the outside lever is locked and unlocked by key from the corridor side only. Door thickness on the Dexter classroom security model is 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, matching the AG03 range.
10) What is a comparable Grade 2 storeroom lever if the opening should stay locked at all times?
The Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom cylindrical lock with a Withnell lever, fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Storeroom function keeps the outside lever locked at all times and requires a key for every entry, with no way to leave it unlocked - that is the difference from the Cal-Royal AG03 classroom function, where a key from the outside holds the lever unlocked until it is keyed back. Both carry ANSI/BHMA Grade 2.
11) What should we use on a door thicker than 1-3/4 inch, since the AG03 tops out there?
The Cal-Royal AG03 is built for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors with a 2-1/8 inch bore. For thicker leaves, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage cylindrical lock covering 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch and is fire rated, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch and is also fire rated. Both of those are passage function rather than classroom, so confirm the opening does not need to be keyed before substituting.
12) What is the clutch option on the Cal-Royal AG series and do I need it?
The C prefix adds a clutch mechanism, available on all keyed and privacy functions. With a clutch, forcing the locked outside lever spins it free instead of transmitting the load into the lock body, which is what you want on abuse-prone doors like school corridors and public restrooms. On a standard AG03 without the prefix, the locked lever stays rigid.
13) What else can I order with the AG03 for a special application?
Options include thru-bolt installation for added pull-out resistance on abused doors, tactile warning (knurled lever) for hazardous rooms, and lead lining for X-ray and imaging suites. Strike choices go beyond the standard ASA plate to T strikes and full lip strikes, which is what you need when the frame stop or jamb return does not suit a standard lip.
14) I need a matching passage or storeroom lever for the same doors, what pairs with a classroom lock?
The AG series covers other functions, and if you are filling out an opening set with other brands ZenSupply carries, the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom cylindrical lever for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors and the Hager 2510 is the Grade 2 passage version in the same range. The Falcon B101 is another Grade 2 non-handed passage lever. Any of those keep you at the same grade level as the AG03.
15) The room does not need to be keyed - is there a matching passage lever in the same duty class?
For a non-keyed opening in the same duty class, the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical passage lever with a non-handed design, and the Hager 2510 is a Grade 2 passage cylindrical lever fitting 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. Either one latches the door without any locking, so corridors, closets and utility rooms do not carry the cost of a cylinder. The Cal-Royal AG03 is the keyed classroom version with a 6-pin Schlage C cylinder; both it and the Falcon B101 are non-handed.
16) Is a Grade 2 entrance/office lever an acceptable substitute for the AG03 on a staff office door?
It is a different function, not a substitute. The Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical lever with entrance/office function, which lets the occupant lock the outside lever with a pushbutton or turn from inside. The Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Cal-Royal AG03 classroom function has no inside locking control at all - it is keyed from the corridor side only, which is what institutions specify when they do not want occupants securing the room themselves.
17) Will a Kwikset or Callan lever work as a lower-cost swap for the AG03 in an apartment building?
They sit in a lighter duty class. The Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever is Grade 3 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Callan Artino entrance leverset is Grade 3. The Cal-Royal AG03 is BHMA/ANSI A156.2 Grade 2, tested past 400,000 cycles, with a 1/2 inch solid brass deadlatch. On common-area and unit-entry doors in multi-tenant buildings the Grade 2 cycle rating is usually what the spec asks for; the Grade 3 sets are interior residential hardware.
18) We want keyless entry on a few doors instead of keyed classroom levers - what are the options?
Mechanical and electronic keypad levers replace the cylinder entirely. The Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock is ADA compliant and fits 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch doors; the Lockey 1150 heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set covers 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch and has an adjustable backset. The Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock. The Cal-Royal AG03 takes a 6-pin Schlage C keyway cylinder and is also available for 6- or 7-pin Best, Falcon and Arrow interchangeable cores, so keep it where the building is already on a master key system.
19) For a patient room or detention-type door, is the AG03 the right function?
No - that application usually calls for an asylum function, keyed on both sides with no free egress trim. The Dexter C1000 Series asylum lock is Grade 1 for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Arrow MK33-BD-CS is a Grade 2 heavy duty asylum lock with a ball knob and a conventional Schlage C keyway cylinder. The Cal-Royal AG03 is a classroom function lever keyed from the outside only, with the inside lever always free. If you are standardizing on the Schlage C keyway, the Arrow MK33 shares that cylinder family with the AG03.
20) Our doors use Yale hardware but we key to Schlage - does that change the lever we pick?
If you are keeping the Yale bodies, the Accentra 107S Schlage cylinder adapter kit is the part that lets Schlage cylinders work in Yale hardware. If you are replacing the lock outright, the Cal-Royal AG03 ships with a 6-pin solid brass Schlage C keyway cylinder as standard and is also offered in Schlage E and Schlage C-K, plus Best, Falcon and Arrow interchangeable cores, so it drops onto an existing Schlage-keyed system without an adapter.
21) What finish does the Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever come in, and will it match my other hardware?
It is supplied in 626/US26D Satin Chrome, the standard institutional finish that matches most commercial closers, hinges and exit devices. The levers are zinc cast and plated to match, with a 3-5/16 inch rose.
22) Can I order the AG03 as the inactive half of a pair, or do I need a separate dummy?
Order a separate dummy trim. The Cal-Royal AG03 is a keyed classroom lever with a working latch, so it is not the part for an inactive leaf. The BEST 7KC Series single dummy trim is a Grade 2 non-keyed medium duty cylindrical lever, and the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim is the Grade 1 heavy duty equivalent. Callan also offers the Bentley Grade 2 dummy lever. Match the dummy to the duty class of the active leaf hardware.
23) Is the Accentra 5301LN a drop-in replacement for the AG03?
Not for a classroom opening. The Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 cylindrical lever in passage/hall/closet function, so it carries no cylinder and cannot be locked; the Accentra 4601LN is likewise a Grade 2 passage lever. They share the Grade 2 rating with the Cal-Royal AG03, but the AG03 is keyed classroom function with a 6-pin Schlage C cylinder and two keys. Use the Accentra passage sets only where the door never needs to be secured.
24) What is the difference between the Design Hardware J75 and X75 levers if I am cross-shopping against the AG03?
Both are flat-lever passage locksets for 1-3/4 inch doors; the J75 is Grade 2 and the X75 is Grade 1, so the X Series is the heavier of the two. Neither is keyed. The Cal-Royal AG03 is a Grade 2 keyed classroom lever fitting 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, so the J75 is the nearest match on duty class if the same opening does not need a cylinder.
