Cal-Royal CGN05 Genesys Series Grade 1 Entrance/Office Lever Lock with Interchangeable Core Option

The Cal-Royal CGN05 Genesys Series lock is a heavy-duty Grade 1 entrance/office lever lock featuring a deadlocking latchbolt operated by key from the outside lever or by rotating the inside lever, with the outside lever always fixed. Built to meet or exceed BHMA/ANSI A156.2 Series 4000 Grade 1 requirements, this cylindrical lockset is designed for door thicknesses of 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" and features a 2-3/4" backset with a 1/2" latch throw. The lock ships standard with a Schlage C keyway and is UL/cUL listed up to 3 Hours for fire-rated door applications.

Cal-Royal CGN00-26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Cal-Royal CGN05 Genesys lever lock fit a 1-3/8 inch door, or is it 1-3/4 only?
Both. The CGN05 Genesys entrance/office lever covers 1-3/8 inch through 1-3/4 inch doors as standard, and 2 inch to 2-1/4 inch thickness is available on request for thick or clad doors. That standard range covers typical commercial 1-3/4 inch doors and the older 1-3/8 inch interior doors in the same part number.
2) Do I have to specify the backset when ordering a CGN05 entrance lock?
Yes, backset is a required choice: 2-3/4 inch or 2-3/8 inch. The 2-3/4 inch is the standard commercial prep; pick 2-3/8 inch if the existing cross-bore sits closer to the door edge. Cal-Royal also lists 3-3/4 inch and 5 inch backsets as available options for wide-stile or special openings.
3) Will the Cal-Royal Genesys lock latch into the strike already in my frame?
If your frame has the standard ANSI prep, yes. The lock ships with a 4-7/8 x 1-1/4 inch ASA/ANSI strike with a curved lip cut to ANSI A115.2 frame preparation, and the brass latch has a 1/2 inch throw. If your existing strike is a small T-strike or full lip aluminum frame type, use the included ASA strike and confirm the frame cutout matches 4-7/8 x 1-1/4.
4) Can I key the Cal-Royal CGN05 into my existing Schlage or Best master key system?
It ships with a 6-pin solid brass Schlage C keyway as standard, so it drops into most Schlage C systems. Other keyways include Schlage E, 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, plus Medeco, Assa, Kaba and Cal-Royal HSK high security cylinders. For interchangeable core systems it accepts 6 or 7 pin BEST, FALCON and ARROW cores, and is available with full-size SCHLAGE, CORBIN/RUSSWIN, SARGENT and YALE large format cores.
5) Can I use this lever lock on a fire-rated stairwell or corridor door?
Yes. The Genesys CGN05 is fire rated and UL/cUL listed up to 3 hours, which covers typical 20, 45, 60 and 90 minute openings as well as 3 hour stair and corridor doors. It is also built to meet or exceed BHMA/ANSI A156.2 Series 4000 Grade 1.
6) What bore does the Genesys lock need, and will it drop into an existing cylindrical prep?
It uses a 2-1/8 inch diameter cross bore, which is the standard commercial cylindrical door prep, so it generally replaces an existing cylindrical lockset without redrilling as long as the backset matches your 2-3/4 or 2-3/8 inch hole and the frame takes the 4-7/8 x 1-1/4 ASA strike. Assembly is thru-bolted with concealed mounting screws.
7) I need an entrance/office lever lock for a door thicker than 1-3/4 inches. What should I use instead of the Cal-Royal CGN05?
The Cal-Royal CGN05 is built for door thicknesses of 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch as standard. If the opening is thicker, the Falcon K501 is a Grade 1 heavy duty entrance cylindrical lock rated for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and it is fire rated as well.
8) Can I use the TownSteel CRX-A-41 in place of the Cal-Royal CGN05?
No. The CRX-A-41 is a single dummy trim with no latch and no key, used on inactive leaves, while the Cal-Royal CGN05 is a keyed single-cylinder entrance/office lock with a deadlocking latchbolt. The CRX-A-41 is also built for 1-3/4 inch doors only, where the CGN05 covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch.
9) How does the entrance/office function actually work day to day?
The outside lever is always fixed and the deadlocking latchbolt retracts by key from outside or by turning the inside lever, which always gives free egress. That suits a tenant suite or office door you want locked from the corridor at all times and keyed entry only. If you want staff to be able to leave the door unlocked with a push or turn button instead, that is a different function.
10) Do I need to order left hand or right hand levers for this Cal-Royal lockset?
No handing to specify. The Genesys levers are non-handed, so the same lock works on a left or right hand door, and the outside lever is key-removable for fast re-keying in the field. That makes it simpler to stock one part number across a building.
11) Is a clutched lever worth it, or should I get a non-clutched cylindrical lock?
Clutch matters where the door gets abused. On the Genesys CGN05 the handle free-turns in the locked position without retracting the latch, so someone hanging on the lever is less likely to break the trim or the spindle. TownSteel's CDC-109 and CEC/CECI-109 are also clutched Grade 1 entry/office cylindrical locksets if you want to compare; the TownSteel CE/CEI-109 is the non-clutched extra heavy duty version of the same function.
12) What else could I buy instead of the Cal-Royal CGN05 for a Grade 1 entrance door?
Closest cross-brand options we carry: the Falcon K501, a Grade 1 fire rated entrance cylindrical lock with a push-turnbutton function and a 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range, and TownSteel's CDC-109, CEC/CECI-109 and CE/CEI-109, all Grade 1 heavy duty entry/office cylindrical locksets. The Falcon differs in function, the turnbutton lets occupants leave the outside lever unlocked, where the CGN05's outside lever stays fixed and is key-only.
13) Is there a clutched entrance/office lockset with a heavier duty rating than the Cal-Royal CGN05?
The TownSteel CEC/CECI-109 is a Grade 1 clutched extra heavy duty cylindrical lockset in the CEC Series with an entry/office function, so it covers the same function as the heavy duty Cal-Royal CGN05 with an extra heavy duty build.
14) I want remote or access-control operation instead of a key. What replaces the Cal-Royal CGN05?
The Cal-Royal CGN05 is a mechanical keyed lock operated by key from the outside lever. For electrified operation in the same cylindrical prep family, the BEST 9KW Series is a heavy duty electromechanical cylindrical lock with remote control operation.
15) Does the Falcon K501 lock the same way as the Cal-Royal CGN05?
Not quite. The Falcon K501 is a Grade 1 entrance cylindrical lock with a push-turnbutton function, so the inside is locked with a button. On the Cal-Royal CGN05, the outside lever is always fixed and is retracted by key from outside or by rotating the inside lever.
16) What finishes does the Cal-Royal Genesys entrance lever come in, and will it match my other doors?
Four finishes: US3 polished brass, US26 polished chrome, US26D satin chrome, and US10B antique bronze oiled. US26D satin chrome is the usual match for existing commercial satin chrome hardware; US10B is the dark oiled bronze look for hospitality or residential lobbies.
17) Is this lock heavy duty enough for a school or hospital corridor?
It is a heavy duty Grade 1 commercial lockset with a cold rolled steel housing in zinc dichromate for rust resistance and a precision cast steel retractor, and Cal-Royal lists it for offices, schools, healthcare, hotels, multi-tenant residential and government buildings. The lever is a full length 4-3/4 inch handle on a 3-1/2 inch diameter rose.
