Cal-Royal CAL05-26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How does the Cal-Royal CAL05 storeroom lock actually operate on a supply closet door?
The CAL05 is an F86 storeroom function: the outside lever is always fixed and only a key retracts the latch from outside. From inside, rotating the lever always releases the latch, so nobody gets locked in. The latch is dead locking, so it cannot be carded back. That is the right function for storage rooms, mechanical rooms, IT closets, and any door that must stay locked at all times without a thumbturn someone can leave unlocked.
2) Will the Cal-Royal CAL05 fit a 1-3/8 inch wood door and also a 1-3/4 inch metal door?
Both work. The CAL05 covers doors from 1-3/8 inch up to 2 inch thickness, which spans the older 1-3/8 inch interior doors and the 1-3/4 inch standard commercial door in the same part number. Nothing extra needs to be ordered to change thickness within that range.
3) My existing bore is on a 2-3/8 inch backset. Can I still use the CAL05?
Yes. Backset is a required selection on the CAL05, offered as 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch, so you can match an existing 2-3/8 inch prep instead of re-boring. The 2-3/4 inch backset is the standard commercial figure and is the catalogued default. Measure from the door edge to the center of the cross bore before you pick.
4) Can the CAL05 be keyed into my existing Schlage or Sargent master key system?
The CAL05 ships with a 6-pin solid brass "C" keyway cylinder, and it is offered in keyways matching Schlage E and 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, and Kwikset. It also accepts Medeco, Assa, Kaba, and Cal-Royal HSK high security cylinders. Keying is single cylinder, and factory keying with control key and master key options is available.
5) Does the Cal-Royal CAL05 take a BEST or Falcon interchangeable core?
It does. Ordered with the "IC" prefix ahead of the part number, the CAL05 accepts compatible 6 or 7 pin interchangeable cores in BEST, FALCON, and ARROW formats. Cores can be supplied combinated or uncombinated, and temporary construction cores are available for a job that has to be re-keyed at turnover.
6) Is the Cal-Royal CAL05 acceptable on a Grade 1 spec for a school or hospital?
Yes. The CAL05 is certified to BHMA/ANSI A156.2 Series 4000, Grade 1, is BHMA Certified, ADA compliant, has a UL Listed latch bolt, and meets the Buy American Act. That combination is what most institutional and government specs call for on cylindrical locksets.
7) What is a Grade 1 alternative to the Cal-Royal CAL05 if the door needs an entrance function instead of storeroom?
The Cal-Royal CAL05 is a storeroom function lock, meaning the outside lever stays fixed and is retracted only by key. If occupants need to leave the outside lever unlocked at times, the Falcon K501 is a Grade 1 entrance cylindrical lock with a push-turnbutton function, and the TownSteel CE/CEI-109 and CEC/CECI-109 are Grade 1 extra heavy duty cylindrical locksets in an entry/office function. All three let the outside lever be left free for traffic, which the storeroom CAL05 by design does not.
8) If I need remote or access-controlled operation rather than a key, what replaces the Cal-Royal CAL05?
The Cal-Royal CAL05 is a purely mechanical keyed storeroom lock with a single cylinder. For remote release, the BEST 9KW Series is a heavy duty electromechanical cylindrical lock with remote control operation, which requires power and wiring to the door that the mechanical CAL05 does not.
9) Which cylindrical lock should I use on a door thicker than 2 inches instead of the Cal-Royal CAL05?
The Cal-Royal CAL05 covers doors from 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. For a thicker leaf, the Falcon K501 Grade 1 cylindrical lock lists a door thickness range of 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Note that the K501 is an entrance function with a push-turnbutton rather than a key-only storeroom function, so confirm the function is acceptable for the opening before substituting.
10) Do I have to order the Cal-Royal CAL05 handed for a left or right hand door?
No handing to specify. The CAL05 latch bolt is reversible in the field for right hand or left hand doors, so one part covers both swings. That is useful for a property manager stocking spares across a building, since one lock fits any opening in the range.
11) What is the CAL05 latch faceplate size, and will it work on a beveled door edge?
The faceplate measures 2-1/4 x 1-1/8 inches and is adjustable for flat or beveled doors up to 1/8 inch in 2 inches on the 2-3/4 inch backset latch. An optional 2-1/4 x 1-1/8 inch faceplate covers the 2-3/8 inch backset latch. Most existing cylindrical latch mortises in the edge will take it without re-routing.
12) How does the Cal-Royal CAL05 compare with a TownSteel CE-109 or Falcon K501 on a Grade 1 cylindrical spec?
All three are Grade 1 cylindrical locksets, but they are different functions. The CAL05 is storeroom, always locked outside and key operated. The TownSteel CE/CEI-109 is an extra heavy duty non-clutched entry/office lockset, and the CEC-109 is the clutched version of the same function, where the outside lever spins free when locked to protect the mechanism from forced turning. The Falcon K501 is an entrance function with push-turnbutton and is listed for a wider 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch door thickness against the CAL05 range of 1-3/8 to 2 inch. Pick on function first, then on thickness.
13) Can I use the Cal-Royal CAL05 on a pair of fire doors?
For a pair, specify the 2-3/4 inch anti-friction latch with 3/4 inch throw, which Cal-Royal offers on the CAL05 for pairs of fire doors. The standard 1/2 inch throw latch is for single doors. Backsets of 2-1/8 inch, 3-3/4 inch and 5 inch are also available for unusual preps.
14) For a fire-rated opening, is the Cal-Royal CAL05 or the Falcon K501 the right call?
The Cal-Royal CAL05 uses a UL Listed latch bolt and offers a 2-3/4 inch anti-friction latch with 3/4 inch throw for pairs of fire doors. The Falcon K501 is listed with a fire rating of yes as a Grade 1 heavy duty lock. Both are candidates for labeled openings; the deciding factor is function, since the CAL05 is storeroom and the K501 is entrance with a push-turnbutton.
15) What is the difference between a clutched lockset like the TownSteel CDC-109 and the Cal-Royal CAL05?
The TownSteel CDC-109 is a Grade 1 heavy duty clutched cylindrical lockset in entry/office function, and TownSteel also offers the CEC/CECI-109 as a clutched extra heavy duty version and the CE/CEI-109 as the non-clutched equivalent. A clutch lets the outside lever rotate freely when locked so force on the lever is not transferred to the internal works. The Cal-Royal CAL05 instead holds the outside lever rigid at all times, retracted only by key or by the inside lever, and is rated to ANSI/BHMA A156.2 Series 4000 Grade 1.
16) I am standardizing a school on one cylindrical lock. How do the Cal-Royal CAL05 and the TownSteel CE-109 differ for that?
Both are Grade 1 cylindrical locksets. The Cal-Royal CAL05 is a storeroom function lock, ASA strike standard with T and full lip strikes available on request, and accepts 6 or 7 pin interchangeable cores in BEST, FALCON and ARROW formats, which suits key-controlled storage, mechanical and electrical rooms. The TownSteel CE/CEI-109 is an entry/office function in the CE Series, suited to classroom and office doors that need the outside lever left free during the day. Many facilities carry both functions in the same keyway program.
17) Which finishes does the Cal-Royal CAL05 come in if I need to match existing door hardware?
Six finishes: US3 polished brass, US4 satin brass, US10 satin bronze, US10B antique bronze oiled, US26 polished chrome, and 26D satin chrome. Exposed trim is wrought brass, bronze, or stainless steel depending on finish, with zinc cast levers plated to match the trim, so lever and rose read as one finish on the door.
