Cal-Royal CTUB00-US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Cal-Royal Genesys leverset be keyed into my existing Schlage C master key system?
Yes. The Genesys comes standard with a 6-pin solid brass C keyway, so it keys straight into a Schlage C system. It also accepts Schlage E, Schlage 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 keyways, plus Medeco, Assa, Kaba and Cal-Royal HSK high security cylinders. That range is what lets you standardize a mixed building on one lock without rekeying the whole system.
2) Does the Cal-Royal Genesys accept interchangeable cores?
It does. The Genesys takes compatible 6 or 7 pin small format cores in BEST, FALCON and ARROW, and large format cylinders for SCHLAGE, CORBIN/RUSSWIN, SARGENT and YALE. For a facility already running an SFIC system, that means the locksmith pulls the factory core and drops in your own, no cylinder swap.
3) What does the clutch mechanism on the Cal-Royal Genesys lever actually do?
When the lock is thrown, the lever spins free instead of resisting. Nothing inside the lock is loaded when somebody hangs on the handle or kicks the lever down, and the latch stays put. On a school corridor or a multi-tenant hallway, that is the difference between a lever that shears off and one that keeps working. Cal-Royal is one of only three manufacturers offering the clutch system.
4) Which function do I order for a classroom, a restroom, or a storage room on the Genesys GN series?
Six functions are offered on the Genesys: Classroom, Communicating, Entrance/Office, Institution, Privacy, and Storeroom. Classroom for a teaching space keyed from the corridor, Privacy for restrooms and any room needing an inside push-button, Storeroom for a door that stays locked and is always keyed, Entrance/Office for an office you want to leave unlocked during the day, and Institution where both sides need to stay locked. Function is chosen at order time and cannot be changed later in the field.
5) My door is 2 inches thick - which heavy duty cylindrical lever covers that without a special order?
The Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage cylindrical lock rated for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch and carries a fire rating, so a 2 inch door is inside its standard range. The Corbin Russwin CL3110 vandal resistant Grade 1 passage lever is built for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors and is also fire rated. The Cal-Royal CGN Genesys is built for 1 3/8 inch to 1 3/4 inch doors with 2 inch to 2 1/4 inch available on request, so a 2 inch opening is a request item rather than a stock configuration.
6) What is a Grade 1 cylindrical lever equivalent to the Cal-Royal CGN Genesys if I need clutching on a classroom door?
The Dexter C1000 Series classroom lever is the closest straight equivalent. It is a Grade 1 clutching cylindrical lever lock in the Classroom function, fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Cal-Royal CGN Genesys covers the same ground with its Clutch System and offers Classroom among its function choices, on a 1 3/8 inch to 1 3/4 inch door range. Both are keyed Grade 1 cylindrical locksets, so a classroom spec calling for clutched Grade 1 trim can be filled by either.
7) I need an Entrance/Office lever for a tenant suite door - what are my Grade 1 and Grade 2 options?
For Grade 1, the Dexter C1000 Series Entry/Office lever is a clutching keyed cylindrical lock for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Cal-Royal CGN Genesys is also Grade 1 and lists Entrance/Office among its functions. If the opening does not call for Grade 1, the Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical lever in the Entrance/Office function, and the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The difference is duty level and door range, so match it to the traffic the suite door sees.
8) For an institution or asylum function door, what Grade 1 cylindrical lock competes with the Cal-Royal CGN Genesys?
The Dexter C1000 Series Asylum (F87) is a Grade 1 cylindrical lock in the Asylum/Institution/Utility function for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Cal-Royal CGN Genesys lists Institution among its functions and is Grade 1 with a Clutch System that lets the lever turn free in the locked position. The Arrow MK33-BD-CS is also an Asylum/Institution/Utility lock but is Grade 2 with a ball knob rather than a lever, which matters where ADA lever trim is required.
9) What looks like a substitute for the Cal-Royal CGN Genesys but is not a keyed cylindrical lockset?
Several lever products in the same size class are not key-operated locksets. The Lockey 1150 and Lockey 2835 are mechanical keypad keyless lever locks in passage function, opened by combination rather than a key. The Delaney LP250 is an electronic keypad leverlock, and the Emtek Classic Keypad Leverset is likewise keypad operated. The Corbin Russwin CL33903 is an electrified fail safe lever running on 12VAC/DC and requires power to the opening. The Corbin Russwin 585F715 is a lock lever for an ED8000 pushpad exit device, a trim lever rather than a complete cylindrical lockset, and the Codelocks CL410/CL415 tubular latchbolt is a latch component. The Cal-Royal CGN Genesys is a mechanical cylindrical lockset with a 6-pin Schlage C cylinder and needs no power or code programming.
10) Is a Kwikset or Callan lever an acceptable swap for the Cal-Royal CGN Genesys on a commercial door?
They sit at a different grade. The Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage and 300BRNL Breton privacy levers are Grade 3 for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Callan Artino 360201 entrance and Asheville AH5011 passage leversets are Grade 3 as well. The Cal-Royal CGN Genesys is Grade 1 and is designated for commercial use. On a commercial opening written to a Grade 1 spec, the Grade 3 levers will not satisfy it; they suit residential-duty interior doors.
11) What is the difference between the Cal-Royal CGN Genesys and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 for a vandal-prone opening?
Both address abuse but by different means. The Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant cylindrical lever in Passage/Closet function, fire rated, for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, and it does not lock. The Cal-Royal CGN Genesys is Grade 1 with a Clutch System that lets the lever turn freely in the locked position without retracting the latch, so force applied to a locked lever does not carry into the retractor, and it is offered in locking functions including Storeroom and Classroom. If the opening must lock, the Genesys covers it; if it is a through-traffic door on a thicker leaf, the CL3110 fits the range.
12) Which classroom lever should I pick if the room needs to be locked from inside during a lockdown?
That is a classroom security function, not standard classroom. The Dexter C1000 Series Classroom Security lever is a Grade 1 clutching keyed cylindrical lock in the Classroom Security function for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Dexter C1000 Classroom lever and the Cal-Royal CGN Genesys Classroom function are keyed from the outside on the same door range. If the lockdown procedure calls for locking without stepping into the corridor, specify the Classroom Security version.
13) How do I order the Cal-Royal Genesys keyed alike across a group of doors?
Keying is specified on the order. You pick keyed different or keyed alike, along with the backset, so a set of doors that should open on one key goes in as keyed alike in a single order. Get the whole group on one line rather than ordering doors piecemeal, since separate orders are separate keyed-alike groups.
14) What is the difference between the Cal-Royal Genesys and the Dexter C1000 classroom lever?
Both are Grade 1 clutching cylindrical levers rated for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, so they are close substitutes on the same opening. The Dexter C1000 is sold per function, one SKU each for Classroom, Classroom Security, Entry/Office, and Asylum. The Genesys is a single series configured across six functions, four finishes and five trims at order time, and it publishes its keyway and interchangeable core compatibility, which is what matters if you are matching an existing master key system.
15) Do I need a keyed Genesys lever for a door that just needs to latch, or is there a cheaper option?
For a hall, closet or any door that only needs to latch, a passage lever is the right part and there is no reason to pay for a cylinder. The Design Hardware X75 is a Grade 1 passage lever for 1-3/4 inch doors; the Falcon T101 and K101 are heavy duty Grade 1 passage levers as well. Save the Genesys for the openings that actually lock, or order it in its non-keyed configuration.
16) Is the Cal-Royal Genesys leverset overkill for an apartment interior door?
For interior residential doors it usually is. The Genesys is a commercial Grade 1 lock built for corridor and institutional traffic. Bedroom and bath doors in an apartment are normally served by a Grade 3 or Grade 2 lever such as the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage or 300BRNL Breton privacy, both rated for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, or the Hager 2540 Grade 2 privacy lever for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. Where property managers do want the Genesys is the unit entry, stair and common area doors that see real traffic.
17) Does the Cal-Royal Genesys lever need to be handed when I order it?
Backset, function, trim design and finish are the choices on the order, along with keyed alike or keyed different. Handing is not among them. Order the correct backset for the existing prep, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4, since that is the one dimension that decides whether the lock lines up with the hole already in the door.
18) Which Grade 1 lever locks besides the Cal-Royal CGN Genesys also take a Schlage C keyway?
The Cal-Royal CGN Genesys ships with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway as standard. Among the comparable Grade 2 options, the Arrow MK33-BD-CS asylum lock uses a conventional cylinder in the Schlage C keyway, so it can be keyed into the same system on a lighter duty opening. If you are moving Yale hardware onto a Schlage cylinder instead, the Accentra 107S is a Schlage cylinder adapter kit for Yale hardware rather than a lockset.
19) Can I use a dummy lever from the Cal-Royal CGN Genesys line on an inactive leaf?
The CGN Genesys functions are Classroom, Communicating, Entrance/Office, Institution, Privacy, and Storeroom, so an inactive leaf needs a dedicated dummy trim. The BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim is Grade 1 heavy duty and non-keyed, which keeps the leaf at the same grade as a Grade 1 active door. The BEST 7KC Series 1DT is the Grade 2 medium duty equivalent, the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 single dummy cylindrical lever, and the Callan Bentley BN5051 is a Grade 2 dummy lever.
20) I need a privacy lever for a restroom - what are the alternatives to the Cal-Royal CGN Genesys?
The Cal-Royal CGN Genesys offers Privacy among its functions at Grade 1 and comes in US10B antique bronze oiled, US26 polished chrome, US26D satin chrome, and US3 polished brass. The Arrow MK02-TA is a Grade 1 fire rated privacy lock for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, but it uses a Tudor knob rather than a lever. The Hager 2540 with Withnell lever is a Grade 2 privacy lock for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with 5048 rose is a decorative option. Where ADA lever trim is required, the knob-trimmed Arrow is out.
21) How is the Cal-Royal Genesys built inside, and will it hold up in a damp or high abuse location?
The housing is cold rolled steel with a zinc dichromate finish for rust resistance, and the retractor is precision cast steel rather than stamped. The latch is brass. Combined with the clutch, that construction is what makes it suitable for locker rooms, schools, healthcare corridors and hotel work where the hardware takes abuse daily.
22) I want a decorative lever for an office suite instead of a commercial cylindrical lockset - what fits?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 lever with 5048 rose comes in passage, privacy, and left- or right-hand half dummy, so a suite can be trimmed consistently across active and inactive leaves. The Emtek Arts and Crafts and Hammered levers and the Emtek Cortina lever are offered as dummy pairs, and the Deltana Claremont 5851, Manchester 6201, Morant 6411, and Linstead 6431 are entry levers, the last three rated for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Cal-Royal CGN Genesys takes a different tack, offering AT, AUG, DAN, SPA, and TUB trim designs on a Grade 1 commercial chassis.
