Cal-Royal GN30-26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Cal-Royal GN30 passage lever fit my existing 2-3/4 inch backset door prep?
Yes. The GN30 ships standard with a UL Listed 2-3/4 inch backset and a 2-1/4 x 1-1/8 inch faceplate, which is the common commercial bore prep. If your doors are prepped at 2-3/8 inches instead, that backset is also available, with an optional 2-1/4 x 1 inch faceplate to suit it. Same lock either way, so you can standardize across a building with mixed preps.
2) Do I need to specify handing when ordering a Cal-Royal GN30 lever?
No handing to call out. The GN30 uses non-handed levers, so one part number covers left and right hand openings. For a property manager or maintenance shop that means a single stocked lock covers every door in the building, and the installer cannot get the hand wrong.
3) Will the GN30 latch work with the strike plates already in my door frames?
The GN30 comes standard with an ANSI strike, 1-1/4 x 4-7/8 inches with a 1-1/4 inch lip and square corner, which is the standard commercial frame prep. Latch throw is 1/2 inch, so the strike lip and pocket depth need to suit that. If your frames are prepped differently, a 2-1/4 inch full lip strike or a 2-3/4 x 1-1/8 inch T-strike are also available.
4) Does the Cal-Royal GN30 lock or take a key?
It does not. The GN30 is a passage function lock, ANSI/BHMA F75, non-keyed. The lever retracts the latch from both sides at all times and there is no cylinder and no thumbturn. Use it on corridor doors, hall doors and closets. For a door that has to be secured you need a different function, such as a keyed entry, storeroom or classroom lock.
5) What is the closest Grade 1 passage lever equivalent to the Cal-Royal GN30?
The Falcon K101 is the nearest straight equivalent. Both are Grade 1 non-keyed cylindrical passage locks with non-handed levers, and both carry a passage/hall/closet function. The K101 is rated heavy duty, is fire rated, and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick. The GN30 is a Grade 1 passage leverset with a 2-3/4 inch backset standard and a 1/2 inch latch throw, built with a thru-bolted assembly and a separate spring cage for each lever. Either one drops into a standard ANSI 4-7/8 inch strike prep on an office, school, or corridor door where the latch is always retractable from both sides.
6) Is there a Grade 2 passage lever that will do the same job as the Cal-Royal GN30 on a lighter-traffic door?
Yes. For interior doors that do not see corridor-level traffic, the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical passage lever with non-handed design, and the Hager 2510 is a Grade 2 passage cylindrical lever with the Withnell design covering doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. The Accentra 4601LN with Augusta trim and the Accentra 5301LN Augusta are also Grade 2 passage/hall/closet cylindrical levers. The GN30 is the Grade 1 version of that same function, built to ANSI/BHMA F75 with a thru-bolted assembly and a separate spring cage for each lever. A common pattern is Grade 1 on the corridor and stair doors and Grade 2 behind them.
7) What should I use instead of the Cal-Royal GN30 if the door needs to lock?
The GN30 is non-keyed passage function, so the lever retracts the latch from both sides at all times and never secures the opening. For a keyed opening in the same cylindrical format, the Dexter C1000 Series offers Grade 1 entry/office, classroom, and classroom security functions, and the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever. For a bed or bath door needing privacy rather than a key, the Hager 2540 uses the same Withnell lever family, and the Arrow MK02-TA is a privacy cylindrical lock with a Tudor knob and a fire rating. Keep the GN30 for the corridor, closet, and hall doors where the latch just needs to hold the door closed.
8) Which passage levers look like a substitute for the Cal-Royal GN30 but are not?
Dummy trim is the one to watch. The Accentra 455LN Augusta, the BEST 9K Series 1DT, the BEST 7KC Series 1DT, the Callan Bentley, and the Emtek Arts and Crafts and Cortina dummy pairs are all dummy function - fixed trim with no latch at all. They mount to the door face and are used on inactive leaves or pull-side trim. The GN30 is a cylindrical passage lock with a working 1/2 inch throw latch bolt into an ANSI 1-1/4 inch by 4-7/8 inch strike, so it holds the door closed. If the existing door has a bored latch prep and a strike in the frame, dummy trim will not fill it.
9) Cal-Royal GN30 or Corbin Russwin CL3110 for a school corridor passage door?
Both are Grade 1 cylindrical passage/closet lever locks. The Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a vandal resistant design in the CL3100 Series, is fire rated, and covers doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch thick. The Cal-Royal GN30 is a Grade 1 passage leverset classified ANSI/BHMA F75, thru-bolted through the door with a separate spring cage for each lever and a clutch mechanism fixed through the bolt installation, listed for offices, schools, hospitals, apartments, hotels, and commercial and public buildings. Both prep the same bored hole and ANSI strike, so the choice comes down to the door thickness on hand and whether the opening spec calls for the vandal resistant trim.
10) Is a Grade 1 passage lever worth it over a Grade 2 for a school or hospital corridor?
On high-traffic openings, yes. The GN30 is Grade 1 to ANSI A156.2 Series 4000, with a thru-bolted assembly through the door, a separate spring cage for each lever and a clutch mechanism fixed through the bolt installation, which is what holds up under constant use and lever abuse. Grade 2 passage sets like the Falcon B101 or the Hager 2510 are medium duty and are a reasonable call on lower-traffic interior doors, offices, storage rooms, apartments interiors.
11) What are the other Grade 1 passage lever locks I could use instead of the Cal-Royal GN30?
Three straight equivalents in the same function and grade: the Falcon K101, a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lock with non-handed levers rated for 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch doors and fire rated; the Falcon T101 Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever; and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 from the CL3100 Series, a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors, fire rated. Design Hardware X75 is another Grade 1 passage leverset, for 1-3/4 inch doors. Pick on lever design, finish match and the door thickness you actually have.
12) What finishes does the Cal-Royal GN30 lever come in, and will they match my existing hardware?
Four finishes: US3 polished brass, US26 polished chrome, US26D satin chrome and 32D stainless steel. The levers are zinc castings plated to match the trim finish, so lever and rose read as one finish. US26D satin chrome is the usual match for existing commercial hardware; 32D reads similar but is stainless.
13) Can the GN30 be installed on a beveled door edge?
Yes. The standard 2-1/4 x 1-1/8 inch faceplate is adjustable for flat or beveled doors at 1/8 inch in 2 inches, which is the standard commercial bevel, so the same latch works on either edge without a separate part.
14) I need a lever instead of a knob on hall and closet doors for accessibility. Is the Cal-Royal GN30 the right swap?
For a knob-to-lever change on a passage door, the GN30 is a direct-function replacement: same passage/hall/closet function, lever handle, and it uses the standard 2-3/4 inch backset and ANSI 1-1/4 x 4-7/8 inch strike prep that most existing commercial cylindrical knobs are already cut for. Non-handed, so you order one lock for the whole run of doors.
15) I only need a lever on one side that does not turn. Is a passage set like the GN30 what I want?
No, that is a dummy trim, not a passage lock. The GN30 has a working latch operated from both sides. For a fixed pull with no latch, look at the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim, a Grade 1 non-keyed heavy duty dummy lever, or the Grade 2 BEST 7KC 1DT. Accentra also offers the 455LN Augusta Grade 1 single dummy from the 5400 Series.
16) Is the Design Hardware X75 the same thing as the Cal-Royal GN30?
They are close peers. The Design Hardware X75 is a Grade 1 passage lever lockset with a flat lever in the X Series, fitting a 1-3/4 inch door. The Cal-Royal GN30 is a Grade 1 passage leverset with the GN design lever, a 2-3/4 inch backset standard with a 2-3/8 inch backset also available, and a 2-1/4 inch by 1-1/8 inch faceplate adjustable for flat or beveled doors. Note that Design Hardware also sells the J75 in the J Series, which is the same passage function at Grade 2 - so confirm the series letter before ordering against a Grade 1 spec.
17) What is the alternative to the Cal-Royal GN30 on a residential-grade interior door?
For light residential interior work, the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever set is a Grade 3 passage/hall/closet lock for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, and the Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset in a satin nickel finish. The Bravura Atlanta, Orlando, Tampa, and Miramar passage leversets are Grade 2 in the same function with round or square trim. The Cal-Royal GN30 is the commercial-duty option in that group - Grade 1, thru-bolted through the door, in wrought brass, bronze, or stainless steel with zinc-cast levers plated to match the trim finish.
18) I need code access on a passage-style opening - what replaces the Cal-Royal GN30?
Mechanical and electronic keypad leversets cover that. The Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function and ADA compliance for doors 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch thick, and the 2835DC is the double combination version. The Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination and passage function for doors 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch, with the 1150S offering an adjustable backset. The Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock. The Cal-Royal GN30 has no code entry - it is a non-keyed Grade 1 passage lever where the lever works from both sides at all times.
19) Cal-Royal GN30 or Falcon T101 for a high-traffic passage door?
Both are Grade 1 heavy-duty cylindrical passage lever locks. The Falcon T101 is in the T Series and uses pressure release technology. The Cal-Royal GN30 is Grade 1 with a thru-bolted assembly through the door, a separate spring cage for each lever, and a clutch mechanism fixed through the bolt installation, in wrought brass, bronze, or stainless steel. Both are non-handed passage sets that install the same way on a standard bored prep, so the differences are in the internal mechanism and the lever design rather than the door prep.
20) Will an Arrow GL01 work in place of a Cal-Royal GN30?
Functionally yes on a lighter door. The Arrow GL01 is a non-keyed passage function cylindrical lock in the GL Series with a Sierra lever, Grade 2, for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch thick. The Cal-Royal GN30 is the Grade 1 version of the same non-keyed passage function, with a 2-3/4 inch backset standard, a 2-3/8 inch backset also available, and an ASA 4-7/8 inch by 1-1/4 inch strike as standard. Where the two differ for a mixed-door building is thickness range: the GL01 starts at 1-3/4 inch, so a thinner leaf needs a different set.
21) Can I use the Cal-Royal GN30 as the inactive-leaf trim on a pair of doors?
No - the GN30 is a working cylindrical passage lock with a 1/2 inch throw latch and an ANSI strike, meant for a door that latches. On an inactive leaf or a pull-only door you want dummy trim: the BEST 9K Series 1DT is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed single dummy trim cylindrical lever, and the BEST 7KC Series 1DT is the Grade 2 medium duty equivalent. Baldwin also offers the Estate 5103 as left hand and right hand half dummy levers on the 5048 rose. Pairing a GN30 on the active leaf with dummy trim on the inactive one is the usual way to keep the levers matching across the opening.
22) What is the Cal-Royal GN30 actually made of?
The lock body and trim are wrought brass, bronze or stainless steel depending on the finish ordered, and the levers are zinc castings plated to match the trim. Rated commercial and built for offices, schools, hospitals, apartments, hotels and public buildings.
23) Is a Grade 1 commercial passage lever overkill for apartment interior doors?
It depends on the traffic. The GN30 is listed for apartments and hotel/motel work as well as schools and hospitals, so it is a legitimate choice for multi-family interiors where you want one Grade 1 lock across common areas and units. If the doors are low-traffic unit interiors and cost of standardizing matters less, Grade 2 passage sets such as the Accentra 5301LN Augusta or Accentra 4601LN cover the same passage function, and Grade 3 residential sets like the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton exist for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.
24) What matches the Cal-Royal GN30 if I want a knob instead of a lever?
The Cal-Royal GN30 is a lever handle set, and lever operation is what most commercial and ADA-driven specs call for. If a knob is what the opening takes, Arrow offers cylindrical knob sets in the same bored format: the MK02-TA privacy with a Tudor knob, fire rated, for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, the HK11-BB turn-pushbutton entrance with a ball knob and conventional cylinder for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the MK33-BD-CS asylum function with a ball knob and Schlage C keyway. Those are different lock functions, so match the function first and the trim second.
25) What is a decorative alternative to the Cal-Royal GN30 for a hospitality or residential corridor?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever with the 5048 rose is the same passage/hall/closet function in a decorative brass line, and Baldwin carries the matching 5103 privacy lever and left and right hand half dummies on the same rose, so a whole floor can be trimmed consistently. Deltana's Claremont, Manchester, Morant, and Linstead levers are entry function in the same decorative vein, with the Manchester, Morant, and Linstead covering doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. The Cal-Royal GN30 is the Grade 1 commercial-duty passage set, listed for hotel and motel properties among its applications.
26) Does the Cal-Royal GN30 come in a version that unlocks on a fire alarm signal?
The GN30 is a mechanical, non-keyed passage lever - there is nothing electrified about it. When an opening needs to release on a signal, the Corbin Russwin CL33903 is a Grade 1 fail safe electrified cylindrical lever lock at 12VAC/DC, offered with the NZ lever and D rose and for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch thick. Since a passage function never secures the door in the first place, an electrified lock is only the answer where the opening actually needs to be locked and then released - otherwise the GN30 covers it mechanically.
