Cal-Royal SL00-26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Cal-Royal SL00 lever lock fit a 1-3/8 inch door?
Yes. The SL00 Pioneer SL leverset covers 1-3/8 inch through 1-3/4 inch doors, so it drops onto both older interior doors and standard 1-3/4 inch commercial doors without a separate spindle kit. If your doors are thicker than 1-3/4 inches, this is the wrong lock for that opening.
2) What backset do I order for the Cal-Royal SL00, and will it work in an existing 2-3/8 inch bore prep?
Order the SL00 in either a 2-3/4 inch backset (the standard) or 2-3/8 inch, and backset is a required choice on the order. The 2-3/4 inch version ships with a 2-1/4 x 1-1/8 inch latch faceplate; the 2-3/8 inch backset uses an optional 2-1/4 x 1 inch face. Cal-Royal also offers 3-3/4 inch and 5 inch backsets for wide-stile or unusual preps. Measure from the door edge to the center of the cross bore before you pick.
3) Is the Cal-Royal SL00 handed, or can one lock go on either a left or right hand door?
Not handed. The solid brass latchbolt is reversible for right hand or left hand doors, so a single SL00 covers both swings and you can stock one part number across a building. The faceplate is also adjustable for flat or beveled doors at 1/8 inch in 2 inches, which is the standard commercial door bevel.
4) What does the entrance/office function on the Cal-Royal SL00 actually do when someone turns the button?
Entrance/office is ANSI F109 turn/push button locking. Push or turn the inside button and the outside lever locks; the key retracts the latch from outside, and the inside lever always retracts free for egress. This is the function you want on a tenant suite door or a private office where staff lock up from inside without needing a key. It is a single cylinder keyed lock, so there is no key cylinder on the inside face.
5) Is a Grade 2 lever lock like the Cal-Royal SL00 enough for a busy commercial corridor, or do I need Grade 1?
Grade 2 to ANSI/BHMA A156.2 Series 4000, tested beyond 400,000 cycles, covers offices, multi-tenant residential, hotels, and retail back-of-house. Grade 1 is the higher cycle and strength tier and is what specs usually call for on high-abuse openings like main entries, stairwells, and school corridors. If your drawing says Grade 1, the SL00 will not meet it and something like the Dexter C1000 entry/office lever, a Grade 1 lock in the same entrance/office function and the same 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door range, is the direct step up.
6) Can I get Cal-Royal SL00 locks keyed alike across a set of doors?
Yes, keying is a required selection: keyed different or keyed alike. Each lock uses a 6-pin C keyway cylinder and comes with 2 keys, keyed to the job. Keyed alike puts every door in the group on one key, which is what property managers usually want for a suite or a common-area group; keyed different is the default for separate tenants.
7) I need the door to lock behind people at all times with a key required from outside. Is the Cal-Royal SL00 the right one?
No. Entrance/office with a turn button means someone has to set the button, and the outside lever unlocks whenever it is released. For a door that stays locked outside at all times with free egress inside, you want a storeroom function, such as the Hager 2580 Grade 2 storeroom lever with the Withnell design, which fits 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. Classroom and asylum functions cover the other secured cases.
8) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to the Cal-Royal SL00 entrance/office lever lock?
The Falcon B511CP6D is the nearest match on function and rating: it is a Grade 2 cylindrical lever lock with Entrance/Office function, the same combination the Cal-Royal SL00 carries as a Grade 2 keyed entrance/office leverset. The Falcon is a medium duty B Series lock. Both are lever-operated cylindrical locks, so the door prep concept is the same; confirm backset and door thickness on the opening before swapping, since the SL00 covers 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" doors.
9) What is a heavier-duty alternative to a Grade 2 entrance/office cylindrical lever lock for a high-traffic opening?
The Dexter C1000 Series Entry/Office lock is Grade 1 with the same Entrance/Office function, and it fits 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" doors, the same thickness range the Cal-Royal SL00 covers. The Dexter uses a clutching lever mechanism; the SL00 is a non-clutch design. Both are keyed cylindrical leversets, so a facility standardizing on lever entry hardware can specify either without changing the door prep family.
10) Which Grade 2 lever lock should I use on a door thicker than 1-3/4 inches?
The Cal-Royal SL00 is built for 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" doors. For a thicker leaf, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle rated for 1-3/8" to 2" doors. If the opening needs Grade 1 on a thick door, the Falcon K101 covers 1-3/8" to 2-1/4" and is fire rated, though it is a passage function with no keying.
11) What is the difference between an entrance/office lever lock and a storeroom lever lock?
The Cal-Royal SL00 is an entrance/office function with turn/push button locking, so the inside lever can be left unlocked for business hours and buttoned down when the space is secured. The Hager 2580 Withnell is a Grade 2 storeroom function cylindrical lock for 1-3/8" to 2" doors, where the outside lever stays locked at all times and the key retracts the latch on each use. Choose entrance/office where occupants control the lock state from inside, storeroom where the door must never be left unsecured.
12) I need a lever lock for a classroom instead of an office. What should I specify?
The Cal-Royal SL00 is an entrance/office lock, locked and unlocked by the button on the inside lever, which is not what a classroom needs. The Dexter C1000 Series Classroom lock is Grade 1 with Classroom function, clutching and keyed, for 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" doors. Where the room must be securable from inside during a lockdown, the Dexter C1000 Classroom Security version carries Classroom Security function on the same 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" door range.
13) Is the Cal-Royal SL00 lever lock ADA compliant for a public building?
The SL00 is designed to meet ADA barrier-free requirements, which is why it is a lever rather than a knob: it operates without tight grasping or wrist twisting. That matters on any door on an accessible route in a school, clinic, hotel, or government building. Note the lock is non-clutching, so the outside lever stays rigid when locked instead of spinning free.
14) What finishes does the Cal-Royal SL00 lever come in, and will it match the other hardware in my building?
Eight finishes: US3 polished brass, US4 satin brass, US5 antique brass, US10 satin bronze, US10BE dark oxidized satin bronze, US15 satin nickel, US26 polished chrome, and US26D satin chrome. US26D is the standard commercial finish on most institutional openings. Exposed trim is wrought brass, bronze, or stainless steel, with zinc levers plated to match the trim, so the lever and rose read as one finish.
15) My tenants keep making the levers droop. Does the Cal-Royal SL00 fix lever sag?
Lever sag is addressed with an independent spring on each side of the lever rather than one shared return spring. That keeps the lever level as the return load builds up over a long service life, which is the usual failure a maintenance crew sees on cheaper leversets. There is also an optional thru-bolt installation if you want the trim mechanically locked through the door on an abuse-prone opening.
16) I need a keyed office lock, not a passage lever. How is the Cal-Royal SL00 different from a passage set?
The SL00 is keyed with a locking function; a passage set has no key and no lock at all, it just latches. If the door only needs to stay closed, a passage lever such as the Falcon B101 or the Hager 2510, both Grade 2, is the cheaper right answer. Pick the SL00 when someone has to secure the door from inside and get back in with a key.
17) What else could I buy instead of the Cal-Royal SL00 for an entry/office door?
Staying in Grade 2 entrance function, the Falcon B511CP6D is a medium duty entrance/office cylindrical lever, and the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial entry lever covering 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, useful if some of your doors run thicker than the SL00's 1-3/4 inch ceiling. For a lighter residential-grade opening the Callan Artino is a Grade 3 entrance leverset. Where the spec calls for Grade 1, the Dexter C1000 entry/office lever is the equivalent function a tier up.
18) Is a Grade 2 passage lever lock a substitute for a keyed entrance lever lock?
No. The Cal-Royal SL00 is keyed with a single cylinder, so it secures the opening. Passage leversets such as the Falcon B101, a Grade 2 medium duty non-handed cylindrical passage lock, or the Accentra 5301LN Augusta, Grade 2 in the 5300 Series, are passage/hall/closet function and do not lock at all. They latch the door and nothing more. Use a passage lever only on interior doors that never need to be secured, and specify a keyed entrance lock where the room is locked.
19) Can I use a dummy lever in place of an entrance lever lock on an inactive leaf?
A dummy trim is not a lock and has no latch, so it will not do the job of the keyed Cal-Royal SL00. On an inactive leaf or a pull-only door, the BEST 7KC Series 1DT single dummy trim is a Grade 2 non-keyed medium duty lever, and the BEST 9K Series 1DT is the Grade 1 heavy duty equivalent. Matching a dummy to the active-leaf lock keeps the pair of doors looking alike.
20) What is a keyless alternative to a keyed entrance lever lock for a door where I do not want to issue keys?
The Cal-Royal SL00 uses a 6-pin "C" keyway cylinder with two keys per lock. If the site would rather manage a code than a keyway, the Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function and ADA compliance for 1 3/16" to 2" doors, and the Lockey 2835DC adds a double combination on the same door range. The Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock. All of these change how access is granted, so decide who holds credentials before switching.
21) Which lever lock is used instead of an entrance lock on a bathroom or bedroom door?
An entrance/office lock like the Cal-Royal SL00 is keyed from outside, which is wrong for a bath or bedroom. The Hager 2540 Withnell is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock for 1-3/8" to 2" doors. The Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy leverset is Grade 3 for 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" doors, and the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with the 5048 rose covers privacy function in a decorative trim.
22) Is a knob entrance lock interchangeable with a lever entrance lock in the same door prep?
The Cal-Royal SL00 is a lever handle type. The Arrow HK11-BB is a Grade 2 turn-pushbutton entrance cylindrical lock with a ball knob and a conventional cylinder, fitting 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" doors, the same door range the SL00 covers, with the same turn/push button entrance locking behavior. The difference is the trim: the SL00 is a lever designed to meet ADA barrier-free requirements, while the Arrow uses a knob. Facilities on an ADA path specify the lever.
23) What lever lock do I use on a door that needs to release on a fire alarm?
The Cal-Royal SL00 is a mechanical entrance/office lock with turn/push button locking and has no electrical connection. For an opening tied into access control or an alarm release, the Corbin Russwin CL33903 is a Grade 1 electrified fail safe cylindrical lever lock at 12VAC/DC for 1-3/4" to 2" doors, in the CL33900 Series. That is a different opening entirely, with power, wire transfer, and a thicker door range to account for.
24) Which lever lock stands up to abuse better than a standard Grade 2 entrance lock on a public corridor?
The Cal-Royal SL00 is Grade 2 and exceeds 400,000 test cycles with individual springs on each side of the lever to resist sag. Where the opening takes deliberate abuse, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 in the CL3100 Series is a Grade 1 vandal resistant cylindrical lever lock, fire rated, for 1-3/4" to 2" doors, and the Falcon T101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty lever with pressure release technology. Both are passage function, so they hold the corridor open rather than securing it; pair them with a keyed lock where the room itself must lock.
25) What lever lock replaces an entrance/office lock on a utility or patient room door that must not be lockable by the occupant?
The occupant-controlled button on the Cal-Royal SL00 is exactly what an asylum or institution opening rules out. The Dexter C1000 Series asylum lock is Grade 1 with Asylum/Institution/Utility function, F87, for 1-3/8" to 2" doors, keyed on both sides so only staff operate it. The Arrow MK33-BD-CS is a Grade 2 heavy duty asylum cylindrical lock with a ball knob and a conventional cylinder in the Schlage C keyway, which matters if the facility already keys to that system.
26) Can I put a Cal-Royal SL00 on a keyless keypad opening instead of carrying keys?
The SL00 is a key-operated cylindrical lock, not keyless. If you want code entry on the same kind of opening, the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever covers 1-3/16 to 2 inch doors and is ADA compliant, and the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock. Those remove the rekey and lost-key work on turnover-heavy properties.
27) If I standardize on a Grade 2 entrance lever, what matching passage lever keeps the same look on interior doors?
Within a commercial Grade 2 standard, the Hager 2510 Withnell is a Grade 2 passage cylindrical lever lock for 1-3/8" to 2" doors and pairs with the Hager 2525 Grade 2 entry lock on the same door range, so a floor can run one lever design across locked and unlocked doors. The Design Hardware J75 is a Grade 2 passage lever lockset with a flat lever for 1-3/4" doors. The Cal-Royal SL00 covers the keyed entrance/office positions in that plan.
