Cal-Royal SC8453 SS US26D – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Cal Royal SC8453 Grade 1 entrance mortise lockset used for?
This Grade 1 mortise lockset provides heavy-duty entrance security for commercial and institutional buildings. It's designed for high-traffic applications including office buildings, schools, hospitals, and retail facilities where maximum durability is required.
2) What door thickness is compatible with the SC8453?
Standard mortise locksets typically fit doors from 1-3/4" to 2-1/4" thick. Verify your door thickness and check the manufacturer's template for exact specifications before ordering. Door weight capacity should also be confirmed for your specific application.
3) How do I determine the correct handing for this mortise lockset?
Stand on the secure side of the door (where you want the key). If hinges are on your right, order right hand. If hinges are on your left, order left hand. Mortise locksets can typically be field-reversed, but confirm this capability before installation.
4) What finishes are available for the Cal Royal SC8453?
Cal Royal typically offers standard finishes including satin chrome, polished brass, and oil-rubbed bronze. Verify available finishes with your specific model as options may vary. Choose finishes that match your building's hardware standards.
5) What does Grade 1 certification mean for this lockset?
Grade 1 is the highest ANSI/BHMA rating for commercial locksets. It means this unit passed rigorous testing for durability, security, and cycle life. Grade 1 locks are required for most commercial applications and high-security installations.
6) Does this lockset meet building code requirements?
Grade 1 mortise locksets typically meet most commercial building codes. However, verify specific ADA compliance, fire rating requirements, and local code specifications with your authority having jurisdiction before installation.
7) What parts and accessories are included with the SC8453?
Standard mortise locksets include the lock body, trim, cylinders, and installation hardware. Strike plates and door prep templates are typically included. Verify complete contents upon delivery and check for any field-configurable options.
8) What are the basic installation requirements?
Installation requires mortising the door edge and face, plus strike preparation in the frame. Use the manufacturer's template for precise measurements. Professional installation is recommended for proper alignment and code compliance.
9) How do I maintain and adjust this mortise lockset?
Regular maintenance includes lubricating moving parts with graphite or approved lubricant. Check door alignment periodically. Avoid oil-based lubricants that attract dirt. Most adjustments require professional service to maintain Grade 1 performance standards.
10) Are there related Cal Royal models I should consider?
Cal Royal offers various mortise lockset configurations within their commercial line. Consider different functions like classroom, storeroom, or privacy based on your security needs. Browse our door hardware section for compatible options.
11) What field conditions affect mortise lockset performance?
Door sag, frame settling, and temperature changes can affect operation. Ensure proper frame reinforcement and door support. High-humidity or corrosive environments may require special finishes or more frequent maintenance schedules.
12) What are the key measurements I need before ordering?
Measure door thickness, backset (typically 2-3/4"), and verify frame conditions. Check existing prep if replacing a lockset. Standard mortise dimensions are typically consistent, but always verify with the manufacturer's template for your specific installation.
