Cal-Royal BER20-3 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I need to order a left-hand or right-hand version of the BER20 knob lock?
No handing to specify. The BER20 is reversible for right and left hand doors, so one part covers either swing with no extra kit and nothing to order differently.
2) Is the Cal-Royal BER20 keyed? Can it be locked from the hallway side?
It is a non-keyed privacy function, for bed and bath doors. It locks from the inside only, with no cylinder and no key on the outside. If you need a keyed opening, the BER series carries Entry (00) and Storeroom (05) functions instead; for a door that should never lock, use the Passage (30).
3) What is the closest Grade 3 privacy knob equivalent to the Cal-Royal BER20?
The Pamex FTF Baron knob lockset in privacy function, PMX-FTF10, is the closest match. It is a Grade 3 privacy/bed/bath knob lockset fitting 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same door thickness range and grade the BER20 carries. Both are non-keyed bed and bath locks, so the difference comes down to knob design and finish selection rather than function or door prep.
4) I need a heavier-duty privacy knob than a Grade 3 for a high-traffic restroom. What should I use instead?
Step up to the Dexter C2000 Series privacy ball knob lock, DEX-C2000-PRIV-KNB. It is a Grade 2 privacy/bed/bath cylindrical knob lock for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same door range as the Cal-Royal BER20's Grade 3 privacy knob, so it drops into the same prep while carrying the higher ANSI grade for heavier cycle counts.
5) Can I use a keyed entry knob in place of the Cal-Royal BER20 on a bedroom door?
No. The BER20 is a non-keyed privacy knob, locked and released from the inside for bed and bath use. A keyed entry knob such as the Kwikset 400P-CP, a Grade 3 keyed entry knob for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, or the Pamex FTF Baron entrance/office knob PMX-FTF-00, Grade 3 for the same door range, requires a key from the outside and is intended for entrance rather than bath privacy. They share a door prep range but not the function.
6) I have doors thicker than 1-3/4 inches that need a privacy knob. What works there?
The Cal-Royal BER20 covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. For thicker stiles, the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob is a privacy/bed/bath knob rated for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, which takes you past the 1-3/4 inch limit while keeping the same bed and bath function.
7) What ANSI grade is the Cal-Royal BER20, and is it strong enough for apartment bedroom and bath doors?
Grade 3 under ANSI A156.2. That is the residential and light commercial duty level, which suits bedroom and bathroom doors in apartments, offices and similar low-abuse openings. For a high traffic institutional restroom you would step up to a Grade 2 or Grade 1 cylindrical, such as the Dexter C2000 privacy knob (Grade 2).
8) What strike plate comes with the Cal-Royal BER20 knobset?
A round corner full lip strike is the standard strike supplied. If your frame is prepped for a square corner strike, Cal-Royal also offers square corner and other strike options, so check the existing frame cutout before you set the order.
9) I am standardizing a building on Kwikset keyways. Does the Cal-Royal BER series work with that?
The BER series uses a Kwikset keyway as standard and is re-keyable for master and construction keying, so keyed functions in the series drop into a Kwikset-based system. Weiser and Schlage C keyways are available on special factory order. Note that the BER20 itself is the privacy function and carries no cylinder, so keying applies to the keyed members of the series on your entry and storeroom doors.
10) What else could I use instead of the Cal-Royal BER20 for a bath door?
Same Grade 3 class, the Pamex FTF Baron privacy knob covers the same 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. For a heavier duty swap on the same door thickness range, the Dexter C2000 privacy ball knob is Grade 2. If the opening is a decorative residential job rather than commercial, the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob handles 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors and the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage is a privacy knob on an R027 rose.
11) Can I match the BER20 privacy knob with passage and entry locks on the rest of the doors?
Yes, that is the usual way it is specified. The BER series runs the same knob and trim across Entry (00), Privacy (20), Passage (30), Dummy (40) and Storeroom (05), so bedroom and bath doors get the privacy function while closets take passage and the unit entry takes the keyed function, all in one look. Order every door in the same finish, US3, US15 or US10B, to keep them consistent.
12) What is a decorative privacy knob alternative to the Cal-Royal BER20 for a residential interior?
The Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose and the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore privacy lock, BAL-5000PRIV, with a 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike, are both privacy-function knobs with decorative Estate trim. The Cal-Royal BER20 is a commercial-listed privacy knobset with an adjustable backset and a round corner full lip strike, so the choice is between fixed-backset decorative trim and an adjustable commercial cylindrical set.
13) What is the passage version to use where a bathroom lock is not wanted, like a closet or hall door?
The Cal-Royal BER20 is a privacy bed and bath lock, so for a closet or hall door use a passage latch instead. The Pamex FTF Baron in passage function, PMX-FTF30, is a Grade 3 passage/hall/closet knob lockset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. In Grade 2, the Dexter C2000 passage ball knob, DEX-C2000-PASS-KNB, covers the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Arrow MK01 is a Grade 2 non-keyed passage knob over that same range.
14) Is a dummy knob a substitute for the Cal-Royal BER20?
No. A dummy knob is fixed trim with no latch. The BEST 6K Series single dummy trim, BEST-6K-1DT, and the Schlage A170 single dummy trim, SCH-A170-NONKEYED, are both Grade 2 non-keyed dummy knobs with no operating mechanism. The BER20 is a privacy knob with a working latch and an inside locking function for bed and bath doors, so a dummy is only appropriate on an inactive leaf.
15) For a Grade 1 knob lock on an institutional opening, what are the options compared with the Cal-Royal BER20?
The BER20 is a Grade 3 privacy knob. In Grade 1 cylindrical knob locks, the Schlage D10S passage latch is a heavy duty Grade 1 non-keyed orbit knob, the Falcon X101 is a heavy duty Grade 1 cylindrical passage knobset with interchangeable core and a fire rating covering 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Sargent 8XG04 is a heavy duty Grade 1 storeroom/closet knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset. Those are passage and storeroom functions rather than bed and bath privacy.
16) We are standardizing one knob family across a building. How does the Cal-Royal BER20 compare with a full-series approach?
The BER20 is the privacy function within the Cal-Royal BER series, which also includes entry, passage, dummy, and storeroom functions, all Grade 3. If a single series across several functions at Grade 2 is preferred, the Corbin Russwin CK4400 Series CK4410 is a Grade 2 Global knob passage/closet lock for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Dexter C2000 Series spans privacy, passage, entry/office, and classroom functions at Grade 2 over the same door range.
17) Do I need a keyless combination knob instead of the Cal-Royal BER20 for a door staff must get through without keys?
For keyless access, the Lockey 3830 is a mechanical keyless combination knob lock with an auto-locking passage function for 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch doors. It controls entry by code. The Cal-Royal BER20 is a non-keyed privacy knob locked from the inside only, so it does not provide any outside credential and is not a keyless access substitute.
18) What finishes does the Cal-Royal BER20 privacy knob come in, and what is the trim made of?
Three finishes: US3 polished brass, US15 satin nickel, and US10B dark oxidized satin bronze. Bodies are wrought brass, bronze or stainless steel, and the cast zinc handles are plated to match the trim finish, so the whole set reads as one finish across a run of doors.
19) Is the Pamex FT3 Saturn knob lockset the same thing as the Cal-Royal BER20?
They are close in class but not the same function. The Pamex FT3 Saturn is a Grade 3 knob lockset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, matching the BER20's grade and door range. For a bed and bath opening, the privacy-function Pamex FTF Baron, PMX-FTF10, is the direct functional counterpart to the BER20's privacy latch.
