Cal-Royal SL01-26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Cal-Royal SL01 lever lock fit a 1-3/8 inch door?
Yes. The SL01 Pioneer SL Series leverset covers doors from 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" thick, so it handles both older 1-3/8 interior doors and standard 1-3/4 commercial doors without a separate kit. If your openings are heavier than 1-3/4, this is not the lock for them.
2) What backset do I have to specify when ordering a Cal-Royal SL01, and will it hit my existing cross-bore?
Backset is a required choice on the SL01: 2-3/4" standard or 2-3/8". Those are the two usual bored-lock backsets, so an existing prepped door almost always takes one of them. The description also notes 3-3/4" and 5" as optional configurations for wide-stile or aluminum openings. Measure from the door edge to the center of the cross-bore before you pick.
3) Will the Cal-Royal SL01 latch into the strike that is already in my frame?
The SL01 latchbolt has a 1/2" throw and ships with an ASA strike as standard, so it drops into a frame already prepped for a standard ASA strike lip. If your frame uses a different cutout, "T" strike and full lip strike are available on request. The latch front is 2-1/4" x 1-1/8" for the 2-3/4" backset, with an optional 2-1/4" x 1" front for the 2-3/8" backset, and it adjusts for flat or beveled doors at 1/8" in 2".
4) What does the Entrance Push function on the Cal-Royal SL01 actually do at the door?
Entrance Push is ANSI function F82: the outside lever is locked or unlocked by a pushbutton on the inside, and the key retracts the latch from outside. The inside lever always retracts the latch for free egress. It is a single cylinder keyed lock with a 6-pin "C" keyway and 2 keys per lock. Use it on offices, suite doors, and tenant entries where staff want to lock up from the inside without a key.
5) Is a Grade 2 lever lock like the Cal-Royal SL01 heavy duty enough for a busy commercial corridor?
The SL01 meets ANSI/BHMA A156.2 Series 4000 Grade 2 and exceeds 400,000 cycles, with a UL listed latchbolt. Grade 2 is the commercial medium duty tier, which suits offices, retail, multi-tenant residential and back-of-house doors. For a main entry or a stairwell that cycles constantly, step up to a Grade 1 cylindrical lever such as the Falcon K Series K101 or the Corbin Russwin CL3100 Series.
6) I need a keyed entry lever, not a passage set. Which Cal-Royal or comparable lock is keyed?
The SL01 is the keyed one: single cylinder, Entrance function, 6-pin C keyway. Most of the lever locks alongside it are non-keyed, including the Arrow GL01 Sierra passage lever, the Falcon B101 passage lever, and the Accentra 5301LN Augusta passage lever, all Grade 2. Those latch and release only, they do not lock. If you want keyed entry in Grade 2 from another brand, the Hager 2525 is a commercial cylindrical entry lever; the Falcon B511CP6D covers entry/office. Grade 3 residential-tier keyed options include the Callan Artino and the Master Lock BC Series RL01 return lever.
7) What should I use instead of the Cal-Royal SL01 on a door thicker than 1-3/4 inches?
The Cal-Royal SL01 is rated for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, so a thicker leaf needs a different lock. The Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 entrance cylindrical lever that covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. If the opening also calls for Grade 1, the Dexter C1000 Series Entry/Office lever is Grade 1 but stays within 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, while the Falcon K101 reaches 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch in Grade 1 passage function.
8) Is the Arrow HK11-BB a substitute for the Cal-Royal SL01?
Only on openings where a knob is acceptable. The Arrow HK11-BB is an entrance cylindrical lock with a ball knob, fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the same thickness range as the Cal-Royal SL01. The SL01 uses a lever and is built for ADA barrier-free applications, which a ball knob does not satisfy. On a route that has to be barrier-free, the knob is not an equivalent.
9) Can I use a Callan Artino or Master Lock RL01 entrance leverset in place of the Cal-Royal SL01?
They are keyed entry leversets, but they sit at a different grade. The Callan Artino and the Master Lock RL01 keyed entry lever are both Grade 3. The Cal-Royal SL01 is Grade 2, conforming to ANSI/BHMA A156.2 Series 4000 and exceeding 400,000 cycles. If the specification on the drawing calls for Grade 2, a Grade 3 leverset will not answer it.
10) What is the Grade 2 alternative to the Cal-Royal SL01 for a stock or supply room?
The Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever, fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Cal-Royal SL01 is Grade 2 as well but is an Entrance Push lock, ANSI Function F82, where the outside lever is released by the pushbutton or the key. A storeroom lock keeps the outside lever locked at all times and needs the key on every entry, which is the behavior a supply room usually wants.
11) I need the entry door to release on a fire alarm signal. Can the Cal-Royal SL01 do that?
No, the Cal-Royal SL01 is a mechanical Entrance Push lock with a keyed single cylinder and no electrical function. For an electrified opening, the Corbin Russwin CL33903 is a Grade 1 fail safe cylindrical lever lock running 12VAC/DC for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, available in a keyed version. Fail safe means the lever unlocks when power is removed, which is what an alarm release calls for.
12) Is the Cal-Royal SL01 handed, or can one lock cover both right and left hand doors?
One part covers both. The SL01 latchbolt is reversible for right hand or left hand doors, so you can stock a single lock for a building with openings swinging both ways and set handing at install.
13) Can the Cal-Royal SL01 be keyed into an existing master key system?
Yes. The SL01 uses a 6-pin "C" keyway cylinder and is available keyed with a control key and masterkey, so it can be brought into an existing C keyway system rather than issued as a standalone key. Two keys come with each lock.
14) Does the Cal-Royal SL01 meet ADA lever requirements for a barrier-free opening?
Yes. The SL01 is an ADA compliant lever design intended for barrier-free applications, which is what a school, healthcare, or government facility spec normally calls for in place of a knob.
15) What is the closest alternative to the Cal-Royal SL01 if I need the same door thickness range from another brand?
The Hager 2525 Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lever covers 1-3/8" to 2" doors, a slightly wider range than the SL01's 1-3/8" to 1-3/4". If you want a Grade 1 entry lever instead, the Dexter C1000 Series Entry/Office lock matches the SL01's 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" range and adds a clutching mechanism, where the SL01 is non-clutch. Clutch matters on abuse-prone doors: the outside lever spins free when locked instead of loading the spindle.
16) What is the difference between the Cal-Royal SL01 and the Falcon B511CP6D?
Both are Grade 2 cylindrical lever locks for keyed entry openings. The Falcon B511CP6D is listed as Entry/Office function and medium duty in the B Series. The Cal-Royal SL01 is an Entrance Push lock, ANSI Function F82, keyed single cylinder with a 6-pin C keyway and a 1/2 inch throw brass latchbolt, and it takes an ASA strike as standard.
17) I need a lever that matches the Cal-Royal SL01 on the non-keyed doors in the same building. What works?
Match the grade and the handle style on the openings that do not need a key. The Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical passage lever with a non-handed design, and the Accentra 4601LN is a Grade 2 passage cylindrical lever in the 4600 Series. Either keeps the Grade 2 lever standard the Cal-Royal SL01 sets on the keyed entry doors. For closets and halls only, the Accentra 5301LN is the Grade 2 passage/closet lock in the 5300 Series.
18) What do I use instead of the Cal-Royal SL01 if I do not want to issue keys?
The Cal-Royal SL01 is keyed with a 6-pin C keyway cylinder and two keys per lock. If you want to drop keys entirely on that opening, the Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with ADA compliance fitting doors 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch, and the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set fitting 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch. The Delaney LP250 is an electronic keypad leverlock at Grade 2, the same grade as the SL01.
19) The opening needs to lock from the inside but not take a key. Is that the Cal-Royal SL01?
No. The Cal-Royal SL01 is an Entrance Push function, keyed single cylinder. For a bed or bath opening that locks with a thumbturn or button and no key, the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. In knob trim, the Arrow MK02-TA is a privacy cylindrical lock with a Tudor knob, fire rated, fitting 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch.
20) Is there a lever lock like the Cal-Royal SL01 rated for a classroom or a patient room?
Those functions sit outside Entrance Push. The Dexter C1000 Series Classroom lever is Grade 1, clutching and keyed, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the same range the Cal-Royal SL01 covers, and the C1000 Classroom Security version adds the second keyed cylinder for locking from inside the room. For a patient or utility room, the Dexter C1000 Asylum lock is Grade 1 Asylum/Institution function fitting 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch.
21) Will a Baldwin Estate 5103 or an Emtek dummy leverset work where the Cal-Royal SL01 is specified?
No, and the reason is function rather than style. The Baldwin Estate 5103 comes in passage, privacy and half dummy versions, and the Emtek Arts and Crafts and Cortina leversets listed are dummy pairs. A dummy lever is trim only with no latch, and a passage lever has a latch but no lock. The Cal-Royal SL01 is a keyed single cylinder Entrance Push lock with a UL listed brass latchbolt, so none of those will secure the opening.
22) The door is fire rated. Does the Cal-Royal SL01 apply, or is there a different lever to use?
For a labeled opening, work from locks that carry a fire rating in their own record. The Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant cylindrical lever, fire rated, for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever, fire rated, for 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Both are passage function; if the fire door also has to be keyed, confirm the fire label requirement against the lock function you are specifying.
23) Can I key an Accentra lever to the same system as the Cal-Royal SL01?
They start from different cylinders. The Cal-Royal SL01 ships with a 6-pin C keyway cylinder and supports keying with a control key and masterkey. On the Accentra side, the 107S is a Schlage cylinder adapter kit for Yale hardware, which is what brings that hardware onto a C keyway. The Arrow MK33-BD-CS is a Grade 2 asylum lock supplied with a conventional cylinder in the Schlage C keyway. Confirm the keyway and pinning with your keying schedule before you order.
24) Is a Kwikset Breton or Delta lever an alternative to the Cal-Royal SL01 for apartment doors?
They land in a different class of hardware. The Kwikset 200BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 passage lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the 300BRNL Breton is the Grade 3 privacy version over the same thickness range. The Cal-Royal SL01 is a Grade 2 keyed Entrance Push lock for commercial use, exceeding 400,000 cycles. On a unit entry door in a multi-tenant building, the cycle count and the keyed function are usually the deciding pair.
25) What lever pairs with an exit device instead of the Cal-Royal SL01?
A cylindrical lock and exit device trim are not interchangeable. The Cal-Royal SL01 is a bored cylindrical leverset that mounts through a 2-3/4 inch backset prep with an ASA strike. Where the opening runs a pushpad exit device, the Corbin Russwin 585F715 is a Grade 1 lock lever for the ED8000 pushpad exit device for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, and the Imperial USA ED-EL500HD is heavy duty escutcheon lever trim in entry function for the ED-500 Series.
26) Does the Arrow GL01 fit the same doors as the Cal-Royal SL01?
Not across the full range. The Arrow GL01 is a Grade 2 non-keyed passage lock with the Sierra lever for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. The Cal-Royal SL01 covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, so the two overlap only at 1-3/4 inch. On a 1-3/8 inch leaf the GL01 is out of range, and the SL01 is also keyed where the GL01 is not.
27) If I am standardizing a building on one lever, how do the Cal-Royal SL01 and the Hager line compare across functions?
Both give a full Grade 2 lever set. Hager offers the 2510 passage, the 2525 entry, the 2540 privacy and the 2580 storeroom, all Grade 2 with the Withnell lever over a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door range. The Cal-Royal SL01 is the Grade 2 Entrance Push position, conforming to ANSI/BHMA A156.2 Series 4000, with a 6-pin C keyway and finishes from US3 polished brass through US26D satin chrome for matching trim across a facility.
28) Do the Cal-Royal SL01 levers sag over time like cheap lever locks?
The SL01 carries an individual spring on each side to hold the lever level, which is what stops the drooping lever that generates callbacks on lighter locksets. Levers are zinc casting plated to match the trim finish, on a wrought brass, bronze, or stainless steel body.
29) What finishes does the Cal-Royal SL01 lever lock come in, and can I match existing brass hardware?
Nine finishes: US1 black, 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. For a building already running polished brass, US3 matches; for the common commercial satin chrome standard, US26D. Levers are plated to match the trim finish, so the set reads as one piece.
30) Can the Cal-Royal SL01 be thru-bolted for extra security on an abused door?
Yes, thru-bolt installation is an option on the SL01 rather than the standard mount. On doors that take a beating, thru-bolting ties the two roses together through the door instead of relying on screws into the chassis. The latch and strike screws supplied are 8-32 x 1" FPH dual-purpose.
31) How does the Cal-Royal SL01 compare with the Design Hardware J75 for a commercial job?
The Design Hardware J75 is a Grade 2 passage lever lockset with a flat lever, built for a 1-3/4 inch door only. The Cal-Royal SL01 is also Grade 2 but is keyed Entrance Push and spans 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, so it suits both the thinner leaves and the standard commercial door. If the same opening needs Grade 1 in the same trim family, the Design Hardware X75 is the Grade 1 passage version, also for a 1-3/4 inch door.
