Cal-Royal BA50-32D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Cal-Royal BA50 exit lock fit a 1-3/8 inch door, or is it 1-3/4 only?
Both. The BA50 adjusts across a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range, so the same lock goes on an older 1-3/8 inch interior door and on a standard 1-3/4 inch commercial door without a separate part number. If your building has a mix of both, you can standardize on one lock.
2) Does the Cal-Royal BA50 drop into an existing 161 door prep without redrilling?
It uses standard commercial bored prep: 2-1/8 inch cross bore for the lock housing and a 1 inch edge bore for the latch, at a 2-3/4 inch backset. If the door is already prepped for a bored lockset at those dimensions, the BA50 goes straight in. Extensions are available for 2-3/8 inch, 3-3/4 inch, and 5 inch backsets if your prep is not at 2-3/4.
3) What does an F89 exit function lock actually do, and when should I use one instead of a keyed entry lock?
Exit function means the outside is a plate only, with no knob and no key access. The inside knob retracts the deadlocking latch to get out. Use it where the opening only needs to work one way: stair discharge doors, service exits, and rear doors where you want free egress but nobody entering from outside. If people need to get IN through the door with a key or a code, this is the wrong function. A keyed entrance lock like the Falcon K501 with push-turnbutton, or a TownSteel CDC-109 entry/office lockset, is what you want there.
4) Can I use the Cal-Royal BA50 on a fire rated door?
Yes. The BA50 is UL Listed with a 3-hour fire rating and conforms to UL10C and UBC 7-2-1997. The deadlocking latch is what makes that work: it keeps the latch from being forced back in the strike when the door is in a fire assembly. It also meets or exceeds BHMA/ANSI A156.2 Series 4000 Standard Duty Grade 2.
5) Will the Cal-Royal BA50 latch into the strike already in my frame?
It ships with an ANSI standard strike at 4-7/8 by 1-1/4 inches, which is the common commercial frame cutout, so it drops into most existing prep. If your frame is cut for a smaller T strike or you need a full lip to bridge a gap, both are available on request. Latch faceplate is 2-1/4 by 1-1/8 inches at the 2-3/4 inch backset, and 2-1/4 by 1 inch if you go to a 2-3/8 inch backset.
6) What is a Grade 1 alternative to the Cal-Royal BA50 for a high-traffic opening?
The BA50 is a cylindrical lock built to Grade 2 with a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range. Where a job calls for Grade 1, 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 platform. Both are entry/office function rather than exit function, so they carry an outside key and lever where the BA50 carries an outside plate only.
7) Do I need to specify left hand or right hand when ordering a Cal-Royal BA50?
No handing to call out. The BA50 is completely reversible, so one lock covers left and right hand openings. For a property manager stocking spares across a building, that means one part number on the shelf instead of two.
8) What keyway does the Cal-Royal BA50 use and how many keys come with it?
Six-pin C keyway cylinder, supplied with two keys per lock. Worth noting for an exit function opening: the cylinder is there for the lock, not for outside entry, since the outside is a blank plate. If you are keying a building to a single system, the C keyway is what you are working with on the BA50.
9) Is a Grade 2 lock enough for a school or hospital exit door, or should I spec Grade 1?
The BA50 is Grade 2, BHMA/ANSI A156.2 Series 4000 Standard Duty. For a moderate-traffic exit that gets used at shift change or dismissal, that is the normal spec. If your facility standard calls for Grade 1 on every opening, or the door takes constant abuse, step up: the TownSteel CE/CEI-109 is a Grade 1 extra heavy duty non-clutched cylindrical lockset, the CEC/CECI-109 is the clutched extra heavy duty version, and the Falcon K501 is a Grade 1 heavy duty option. Those are entrance function, though, not exit only.
10) Is the Cal-Royal BA50 Buy American compliant for a government job?
It meets the Buy American Act, which is what you need for federal and many state and municipal procurement specs. It is a commercial-duty lock, used on office buildings, schools, healthcare, retail, warehouse, multi-tenant residential, and government openings.
11) Is the TownSteel CRX-A-41 a substitute for the Cal-Royal BA50?
No. The CRX-A-41 is a single dummy trim - it has no latch and does not operate; it is a stainless steel heavy duty ligature resistant arch trim cylindrical lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors. The BA50 is a working exit function lock with a deadlocking latch bolt operated by the inside knob, a 1 inch edge bore and 2-1/8 inch cross bore. They look similar on a door face but only the BA50 latches the opening.
12) Is there an electrified version of a cylindrical lock like the Cal-Royal BA50 for access control?
The Cal-Royal BA50 is a mechanical exit function lock with a 6-pin C keyway cylinder supplied with 2 keys. For an opening that needs to be released electrically, the BEST 9KW Series is a heavy duty electromechanical cylindrical lock with remote control operation, which fits the same cylindrical prep family but is wired rather than key-only.
13) What finishes does the Cal-Royal BA50 come in, and will it match the other hardware in my building?
Four finishes: US3 polished brass, US10B antique bronze oiled, US26 polished chrome, and US32D satin stainless steel. US32D is the one that matches most modern commercial openings, US3 and US10B are for buildings running a brass or bronze standard. Exposed trim is wrought brass, bronze, or stainless steel depending on finish.
14) Why do knob locksets get wobbly, and does the Cal-Royal BA50 have that problem?
Hub wobble comes from a short spindle hub letting the knob rock in the rose over time, and on a high-cycle exit door it shows up fast. The BA50 uses a long spindle hub to eliminate that, with concealed screw mounting so there are no exposed fasteners on the trim for someone to back out.
15) What is the difference between clutched and non-clutched when replacing a Cal-Royal BA50 with a TownSteel lockset?
On the TownSteel side the choice is stated in the model: the CEC/CECI-109 is the clutched extra heavy duty Grade 1 lockset and the CE/CEI-109 is the non-clutched extra heavy duty Grade 1 lockset, with the CDC-109 a Grade 1 heavy duty clutched version. A clutched lever spins free when locked so force on the lever does not carry into the mechanism. The Cal-Royal BA50 is a Grade 2 knob lock in exit function with a long spindle hub and concealed screw mounting.
