Cal-Royal BA09-32D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How does the Cal-Royal BA09 F87 lock actually operate - can someone get out without a key?
No. The BA09 is a double cylinder deadlocking lock (ANSI F87): both knobs are always fixed, and the latch is retracted only by key from either side. Nobody passes through in either direction without a key. That makes it wrong for any opening that needs free egress, so keep it off required exits and rooms occupied by people. It belongs on utility closets, mechanical rooms, storage, and similar controlled openings.
2) Will the Cal-Royal BA09 drop into an existing 161 door prep?
It uses the standard cylindrical prep: 2-1/8 inch cross bore and 1 inch edge bore, with a 2-3/4 inch backset as standard. That is the common commercial bored prep, so an existing door already bored for a cylindrical lock at 2-3/4 inch backset takes it without new machining. A 2-3/8 inch backset version is also orderable, and the catalog lists 3-3/4 inch and 5 inch extensions for wide-stile or special preps.
3) Which backset do I have to pick when ordering the BA09, and does it change the latch face?
Backset is a required choice: 2-3/4 inch standard or 2-3/8 inch. It changes the latch faceplate with it. The 2-3/4 inch backset latch has a 2-1/4 x 1-1/8 inch faceplate; the 2-3/8 inch backset latch has a 2-1/4 x 1 inch faceplate. Measure from the door edge to the center of the existing bore before you choose, and match the faceplate to the existing mortise in the door edge so you are not patching.
4) Can I put the Cal-Royal BA09 on a 90 minute or 3 hour fire door?
Yes. The BA09 is UL Listed with a 3-hour rating and conforms to UL10C and UBC 7-2-1997, so it covers fire door assemblies up to and including 3 hours. It is also BHMA/ANSI A156.2 Series 4000 Grade 2 and meets the Buy American Act, which matters on federal and municipal jobs.
5) Will the BA09 fit a 1-3/8 inch door, or is it 1-3/4 only?
Both. The lock covers a door thickness range of 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, so it handles standard commercial 1-3/4 inch doors and the thinner 1-3/8 inch leaves you still find in older buildings. If you are working doors thicker than 1-3/4 inch, look at a Falcon K501, which is listed for 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches, though that one is an entrance function rather than key-both-sides.
6) Can I key the Cal-Royal BA09 into my building's existing Schlage or Best master key system?
Yes, in most common systems. It ships standard with a 6-pin solid brass "C" keyway cylinder and two keys, and it also accepts Schlage E, Schlage C-K, Russwin D1-2-3-4, Corbin 59/60, Corbin-Russwin L4, Sargent LA-LB-LC, Falcon/Weiser E, Arrow A, Yale 8, Yale GA, Kwikset, plus high security Medeco, Assa, Kaba and Cal-Royal HSK. For small format interchangeable core work it takes 6 or 7 pin cores compatible with BEST, FALCON and ARROW using the "IC" prefix, combinated or uncombinated, with temporary construction cores and factory keying with control and master keys available.
7) What is a Grade 1 alternative to the Cal-Royal BA09 for a high-traffic institutional opening?
The BA09 is a Grade 2 cylindrical lock with an Asylum/Institution/Utility function, keyed on both sides. For a higher-duty cylindrical platform, the TownSteel CE/CEI-109 is a Grade 1, non-clutched extra heavy duty cylindrical lockset, and the TownSteel CEC/CECI-109 is the Grade 1 clutched extra heavy duty version of the same idea. Both are entry/office function, so they use a key on one side with a turn or button inside rather than the BA09 double-cylinder key-both-sides arrangement. If the requirement is that neither knob ever retracts the latch without a key, stay with the BA09 function; if the requirement is simply Grade 1 duty on an office or entry door, the CE-109 or CEC-109 covers it.
8) I need a keyed cylindrical lock for a 2-inch thick door - will the Cal-Royal BA09 work?
No. The BA09 is built for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, so a 2 inch door is outside its range. The Falcon K501 is a Grade 1 keyed cylindrical lock rated for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, which covers a 2 inch leaf. Note the function difference: the K501 is an entrance lock with a push-turnbutton, keyed outside only, while the BA09 is keyed from both sides with both knobs always fixed.
9) What should I use instead of the Cal-Royal BA09 on a behavioral health or ligature-risk door?
The BA09 is a standard knob-trim institutional lock and does not offer an anti-ligature profile. For patient rooms or holding areas where trim geometry matters, the TownSteel CRX-A-41 is a stainless steel heavy duty ligature resistant arch trim cylindrical lockset, Grade 1, sized for 1-3/4 inch doors. Be aware it is a single dummy - it has no latch and no key - so it suits push/pull or paired-leaf openings, not a door that needs to lock. Use it alongside a keyed ligature-resistant function, not as a drop-in for the BA09.
10) Does the Cal-Royal BA09 come with a strike, and will it work with my existing ANSI strike prep?
It comes with the ANSI standard strike, 4-7/8 x 1-1/4 inches, which is the same strike cutout already in most commercial hollow metal frames, so an existing ANSI prep takes it as is. If your frame is prepped for a T strike or you need a full lip for a wood frame or a deep reveal, both are available on request.
11) Is a Grade 2 cylindrical lock enough for a school or hospital corridor, or should I go Grade 1?
The BA09 is Grade 2 standard duty under BHMA/ANSI A156.2 Series 4000, which suits utility and storage openings and moderate traffic. For high-cycle corridors and main entry doors, step up to Grade 1: the TownSteel CE/CEI-109 is a non-clutched extra heavy duty entry/office lockset, the CEC/CECI-109 is the clutched extra heavy duty version (a clutch spins the lever under a forced turn instead of transferring the load into the mechanism), and the Falcon K501 is a Grade 1 heavy duty entrance lock with push-turnbutton. Note those are entry/office functions, not key-both-sides, so they do not replace the BA09's F87 operation.
12) I need a lock for a behavioral health or detention room - is this institutional lock the right call?
Not for a patient room. The BA09 is called an institutional lock because of its asylum/institution/utility function, key both sides with fixed knobs, but a round knob and standard trim are not ligature resistant. For behavioral health openings, look at TownSteel's CRX-A ligature resistant stainless steel arch trim line, such as the CRX-A-41 single dummy, which is Grade 1 and listed for 1-3/4 inch doors. Use the BA09 where the requirement is keyed control of a utility or storage opening rather than patient safety.
13) Is the TownSteel CDC-109 a direct replacement for the Cal-Royal BA09?
Not functionally. The CDC-109 is a Grade 1 heavy duty clutched cylindrical lockset in the entry/office function, meaning the outside trim spins free when locked and the inside always allows egress. The BA09 is a double cylinder lock requiring a key from either side with both knobs fixed at all times. They share the cylindrical bored-lock format, but the CDC-109 will not give you key-both-sides control. Choose the CDC-109 when you want Grade 1 duty and clutched vandal protection on an office door, and the BA09 when the opening specifically calls for the ANSI F87 institutional function.
14) Can I get the Cal-Royal BA09 function with electronic or remote control operation?
No - the BA09 is a purely mechanical cylindrical lock, keyed from both sides. If the opening needs to be released or controlled remotely, the BEST 9KW is an electromechanical cylindrical lock with remote control operation in a heavy duty build. It occupies the same cylindrical bored prep family but requires power and wiring at the door, which the BA09 does not.
15) For a fire-rated door, how does the Cal-Royal BA09 compare with the Falcon K501?
The BA09 is UL listed with a 3-hour rating and conforms to UL10C and UBC 7-2-1997, and it meets BHMA/ANSI A156.2 Series 4000 Grade 2. The Falcon K501 is a fire rated Grade 1 entrance cylindrical lock in the K Series. Both are candidates for a labeled opening; the decision usually comes down to function and door thickness rather than the fire label, since the K501 is an entrance lock with a push-turnbutton and the BA09 is a key-both-sides institutional lock.
16) What finishes does the Cal-Royal BA09 knob lock come in for matching other doors in a building?
Four finishes: US3 polished brass, US10 satin bronze, US10B antique bronze oiled, and US32D satin stainless steel. Exposed trim is wrought brass, bronze or stainless steel depending on finish, with concealed screw mounting. US32D is the usual pick when you are standardizing across schools, healthcare and other institutional buildings.
17) Do I have to specify handing when I order the Cal-Royal BA09?
No. It is a bored cylindrical lock with a keyed cylinder in each knob and both knobs fixed, so there is no inside-versus-outside trim to get backwards and the latch is reversible in the field on this style of lockset. The choices you do have to make are backset (2-3/4 standard or 2-3/8) and finish.
18) Do the knobs on the BA09 get loose over time like cheap cylindrical locks?
Cal-Royal builds the BA09 with a long spindle hub specifically to eliminate hub wobble, which is the usual failure you feel in a worn bored lock. Trim is wrought brass, bronze or stainless steel with concealed screws, so there are no exposed fasteners for someone to back out on the secure side.
19) Clutched versus non-clutched - which TownSteel should I look at if I am moving off the Cal-Royal BA09 knob?
Both TownSteel options are Grade 1 entry/office cylindrical locksets. The CEC/CECI-109 is clutched extra heavy duty, so forcing the outside trim when locked turns it freely instead of loading the lock; the CE/CEI-109 is the non-clutched extra heavy duty build of the same series. The CDC-109 is a clutched Grade 1 heavy duty lockset as well. Clutched trim is typically chosen where abuse or vandalism is expected on the corridor side. None of the three carry the BA09 double-cylinder function, so confirm the opening does not require a key from both sides before substituting.
