Cal-Royal CALDOR238-26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the CALDOR238 a complete lockset or just a part of one?
It is a component, not a full lock. The CALDOR238 is Cal-Royal lock trim within their bored lockset line, so it goes onto a compatible bored prep alongside the rest of the lock. If you are replacing an entire cylindrical lock on a dorm door, you need the full lockset, not this piece on its own.
2) Is the Schlage 03-031 lever a replacement for the Cal-Royal CALDOR238 dead latch?
No. The Cal-Royal CALDOR238 is a dormitory-function dead latch, the latching component of a bored lockset. The Schlage 03-031 is a lever only, prepped for a cylinder, for the ND Series. One is the latch inside the door edge, the other is the handle you grip, so they replace different parts of the lock and are not interchangeable.
3) What does the dormitory function on the Cal-Royal CALDOR238 dead latch actually do?
Dormitory is the function Cal-Royal assigns the CALDOR238 CAL101 dead latch. In practice that means an opening that stays secure on the outside while still giving free egress from the room side, which is why it shows up on student housing, multi-tenant residential, and other multi-occupancy doors rather than on a general-purpose office opening.
4) What finish does the Cal-Royal CALDOR238 come in?
One finish only: US26D, satin chrome. There is a single orderable configuration, CALDOR238-26D, so if the rest of the hardware on your doors is brass, bronze, or black, this will not match. US26D is the usual choice for institutional openings because it hides wear and fingerprints on high-traffic doors.
5) I need a replacement lever rather than a dormitory latch component. What else is there?
The CALDOR238 is Cal-Royal dead latch trim and will not serve as a lever swap. For lever-only replacements, Schlage parts cover that: the 03-031 is a cylinder-prep lever for ND Series locks built before February 2017, the 09-401 is an outside lever with retaining clip and insertion tool for the L Series mortise line, and the 47258049 is a Latitude design KIL lever for the ALX Series. Match the part to the lock series already in your door.
6) Would a Schlage ALX Series lever work with a Cal-Royal CALDOR238 dormitory latch?
Treat them as separate systems. The Schlage 47258049 is an ALX Series KIL lever in the Latitude design, built as trim for Schlage's ALX bored locks. The Cal-Royal CALDOR238 is a dormitory dead latch within Cal-Royal's own bored lockset line, and latch and trim should be kept within one manufacturer's series so the retractor and spindle engagement match.
7) Is the CALDOR238 rated for commercial use or is it residential-grade hardware?
Cal-Royal builds the CALDOR238 as commercial hardware, and the applications it is aimed at are dormitories, schools, healthcare, government buildings, and commercial offices. It is not a residential-duty part dressed up for the trade.
8) How do I keep the satin chrome finish on Cal-Royal door hardware from degrading?
Cal-Royal publishes a finish maintenance and care guide covering their finishes, US26D included, and it is the reference to follow on cleaning agents and routine care. The short version for institutional openings: avoid abrasives and solvent cleaners on plated finishes, since those are what dull satin chrome fastest on high-touch doors.
