Cal-Royal CAL09-26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the Cal-Royal CAL09 institution lock function actually do on the door?
The CAL09 is an ANSI F87 asylum/institution/utility lock: both levers are always fixed, and the dead locking latch bolt retracts only by key from either side. Nobody passes through without a key, in either direction. That is the right choice for a mechanical room, a secure ward, or a utility closet you do not want free egress through, and the wrong choice for any opening that needs to be exited without a key.
2) Will the CAL09 fit a 1-3/4 inch commercial door?
Yes. The CAL09 covers doors from 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick, so standard 1-3/4 inch commercial doors are in the middle of the range, and older 1-3/8 inch interior doors are covered too.
3) My doors are bored at 2-3/8 inch backset, not 2-3/4. Can I still use this lock?
Yes, backset is a selection on the order. Both 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch are orderable, with 2-3/4 inch the standard. Cal-Royal also lists 2-1/8 inch, 3-3/4 inch, and 5 inch backsets for the CAL09 as options for unusual preps. The latch faceplate measures 2-1/4 x 1-1/8 inches and is adjustable for flat or beveled doors at 1/8 inch in 2 inches; a matching 2-1/4 x 1-1/8 inch faceplate is offered for the 2-3/8 inch backset.
4) Can the CAL09 be keyed into our existing Schlage or Sargent master key system?
Yes, in most common keyways. The standard cylinder is a 6 pin solid brass C keyway, and the CAL09 is offered to match 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 and GA, and Kwikset. High security cylinders from Medeco, Assa, Kaba, and Cal-Royal HSK are supported. Factory keying, master keying, and control keys are available options.
5) Does this lock take our BEST interchangeable cores?
It does. The CAL09 accepts compatible 6 or 7 pin interchangeable cores from BEST, Falcon, and Arrow, so a facility already standardized on an IC core system can keep its cores and control key.
6) What is the difference between the CAL09 institution lock and a Grade 1 entry/office lockset like the TownSteel CE-109 or Falcon K501?
Function, not grade. The CAL09 is key-both-sides with both levers permanently fixed, so there is no free passage in either direction. The TownSteel CE/CEI-109 is an entry/office function Grade 1 cylindrical lockset, and the Falcon K501 is a Grade 1 entrance lock with a push-turnbutton, both of which allow free egress from the inside lever. Pick the CAL09 only for openings where you want key control both ways; for an office or tenant entry door, the entry/office versions are the correct function.
7) For a behavioral health opening, is the Cal-Royal CAL09 the same as a ligature resistant lock?
No. The CAL09 is a Grade 1 institution function cylindrical lockset with zinc casting levers plated to match the trim, keyed both sides - it is an access control function, not a ligature resistant trim. For anti-ligature trim, the TownSteel CRX-A-41 is a stainless steel Grade 1 heavy duty ligature resistant arch trim cylindrical lockset, though it is a single dummy with no latch or key function and fits 1-3/4 inch doors only, against the CAL09 range of 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch.
8) Which cylindrical lock handles doors thicker than 2 inches if the Cal-Royal CAL09 does not fit?
The CAL09 covers doors from 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Where the door is thicker, the Falcon K501 Grade 1 entrance cylindrical lock is rated 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Note the function change: the K501 is an entrance lock with push-turnbutton, not the double cylinder institution function the CAL09 provides.
9) If the opening needs remote electric control rather than a key on both sides, what replaces the Cal-Royal CAL09?
The CAL09 is mechanical and double cylinder, so it is operated only by key from either side. Where the opening has to be released from a nurse station or control point, the BEST 9KW Series is a heavy duty electromechanical cylindrical lock with remote control operation. Plan for power and wiring to the door, which the mechanical CAL09 does not require.
10) Do I have to order the CAL09 handed left or right?
No handing to specify. The latch bolt is reversible in the field for right hand or left hand doors, so one part covers either swing, which is useful when you are stocking spares across a building.
11) What finishes does the Cal-Royal CAL09 come in, and will it match our existing brass trim?
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, and the levers are zinc castings plated to match the trim finish, so a set matches across an opening.
12) I need a lock for a pair of fire doors. Is there a different latch for that?
Yes. Alongside the standard 1/2 inch throw latch, Cal-Royal offers a 2-3/4 inch backset anti-friction latch with a 3/4 inch throw intended for pairs of fire doors. The longer throw and anti-friction design help the latch make up into the strike on an active leaf.
13) We need remote release on a secure door. Does the CAL09 do that?
No, the CAL09 is fully mechanical, keyed both sides with no electrified option. If the opening needs release from a desk or console, the BEST 9KW Series is an electromechanical cylindrical lock with remote control operation.
14) Which of these Grade 1 cylindrical locks carries a fire rating for a labeled door?
Among the comparable Grade 1 cylindrical locksets, the Falcon K501 entrance lock is listed as fire rated. The Cal-Royal CAL09 meets BHMA/ANSI A156.2 Series 4000 Grade 1 and uses a UL Listed solid brass latch bolt with a 1/2 inch throw, with a 2-3/4 inch anti-friction latch at 3/4 inch throw offered for pairs of fire doors.
15) What is the difference between the TownSteel CE-109 and CEC-109 as alternatives to a Cal-Royal CAL09?
Both are Grade 1 cylindrical locksets in entry/office function; the CE/CEI-109 is the non-clutched extra heavy duty version and the CEC/CECI-109 is the clutched extra heavy duty version, where the outside lever spins free when locked rather than holding rigid. The Cal-Royal CAL09 differs from both in function - it is Grade 1 in Asylum/Institution/Utility (double cylinder) function with both levers fixed and key operation from either side.
16) Is there a lighter duty alternative to the Cal-Royal CAL09 for a lower traffic office door?
The CAL09 is a Grade 1 extra heavy duty institution lock keyed from both sides. Where the opening is a standard office door, the TownSteel CDC-109 is a Grade 1 heavy duty clutched cylindrical lockset in entry/office function - still Grade 1, but a clutched entry/office lock rather than a double cylinder institution function.
