Cal-Royal SL05-26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does storeroom function mean on the Cal-Royal SL05, and is it the right lock for a mechanical room?
Storeroom (ANSI F86) means the outside lever is always fixed. You get in only with a key in the outside lever, and the inside lever always retracts the deadlocking latch for free egress. Nobody can leave the door unlocked by mistake, which is why it suits mechanical rooms, electrical closets, stock rooms, and janitor closets. If you want staff to be able to leave the door unlocked during the day, storeroom is the wrong function and an entry/office lock is what you want.
2) Which backset do I order for the Cal-Royal SL05 lever lock?
Backset is a required choice at order time, 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch. Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore hole: 2-3/4 inch is the usual commercial prep and is the SL05's standard backset, 2-3/8 inch is common on residential-style and older doors. The description also lists 3-3/4 inch and 5 inch as optional backsets for wide-stile openings. Getting this wrong means the lock will not line up with the existing cross bore.
3) Can I key the Cal-Royal SL05 into an existing master key system?
The SL05 uses a 6-pin C keyway cylinder and comes with two keys per lock. Keying with a control key and masterkeying are available, and at order time you choose keyed different or keyed alike at no charge. Keyed alike is what you want when one key should open every storeroom in the building; keyed different is standard when each door needs its own key.
4) Is the Cal-Royal SL05 lever lock ADA compliant for a school or healthcare corridor?
Yes. The SL05 is a lever design meeting ADA requirements and built for Barrier-Free applications, so it operates without tight grasping, pinching, or wrist twisting. That is what puts it in schools, clinics, and public buildings where knobs won't pass. Tactile and lead lining are available on request if the opening needs them.
5) What's a Grade 2 storeroom lever from another brand that would match a Cal-Royal SL05?
The closest straight swap in the same class is the Hager 2580 with the Withnell lever, also a Grade 2 cylindrical storeroom lock, covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. It's the equivalent when you need storeroom function and the SL05 trim doesn't match what's already hanging in the building. Note the function has to match: Falcon B511CP6D and Hager 2525 are Grade 2 levers but they're entry/office, which lets the outside lever be left unlocked, so they will not do the same job.
6) The door is a storage room but no one needs a key to get in - what lever lock should I use instead of a storeroom function?
Drop to a passage set. The Cal-Royal SL05 is keyed, single cylinder, storeroom function, which means the outside lever is permanently locked and only a key opens it. If the room only needs a latch to hold the door closed, the Hager 2510 is a Grade 2 passage cylindrical lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 medium duty passage lever with non-handed levers. Both operate from either side at all times with no cylinder to key.
7) I need a heavier duty lever lock than a Grade 2 for a high-traffic corridor - what steps up from the Cal-Royal SL05?
Move to a Grade 1 cylindrical lever. The SL05 is Grade 2. Among heavier options, the Falcon T101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage lever, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch and is fire rated, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever, fire rated, for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. Note all three are passage function, so if you still need key control on the outside lever the SL05 remains the storeroom option.
8) The door is 2 inches thick - will the Cal-Royal SL05 work, and if not what will?
The SL05 covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness, so a 2 inch leaf is outside its range. For a 2 inch door in a Grade 2 lever, the Hager 2525 entry lock and Hager 2510 passage lock both run 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. In Grade 1, the Falcon K101 passage lever reaches 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. Match the function to the opening: those are entry and passage, not storeroom.
9) Can I use an entry or office function lever in place of a storeroom lever like the Cal-Royal SL05?
They are not the same and the difference shows up the first time someone leaves the door unlocked. The SL05 is storeroom function: the outside lever is always fixed and a key is required every time. Entry and office function locks let a user set the outside lever unlocked and leave it that way. The Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 entry cylindrical lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 entry/office cylindrical lever, and the Dexter C1000 entry/office is Grade 1 for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. Pick entry/office where staff need to unlock for the day; pick storeroom where the room must stay secured at all times.
10) For a classroom door, is the Cal-Royal SL05 storeroom lock the right choice or is there a better function?
Use a classroom function instead. The SL05 is a storeroom lock, keyed single cylinder, where the outside lever never unlocks except by key. A classroom lock lets a teacher key the outside lever to a locked or unlocked state. The Dexter C1000 classroom is a Grade 1 keyed clutching cylindrical lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the same thickness range the SL05 fits, and the Dexter C1000 classroom security version is Grade 1 over that same range for rooms that must be lockable from inside.
11) Is the Cal-Royal SL05 handed, or does it work on a left hand and a right hand door?
No handing to specify. The latchbolt is reversible for right hand or left hand openings, so one part number covers either swing. That matters if you're buying a batch for a building where the door swings vary, since you can stock a single lock instead of splitting the order.
12) Is Grade 2 durable enough for a storeroom door in a busy apartment building?
Grade 2 to ANSI/BHMA A156.2, Series 4000, with cycle testing exceeding 400,000 cycles. For a storeroom, janitor closet, or utility door in multi-family or an office, that is the normal commercial specification. Where the door is a main entrance or a stairwell taking constant traffic, a Grade 1 lock is the heavier answer, and options like the Falcon K Series or the Corbin Russwin CL3100 Series sit at that level.
13) What finishes does the Cal-Royal SL05 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 and the one most likely to match existing closers, hinges, and exit devices in an office or school. The levers are zinc casting plated to match the trim, so lever and rose read as one finish.
14) Does the Cal-Royal SL05 come with the screws, or do I need thru-bolts?
8-32 x 1 inch FPH dual purpose latch and strike screws are included, so the latch and strike mount out of the box. Thru-bolt installation is optional and worth specifying on abused doors or where you want the lock pulled tight through the door rather than held by the rose screws alone.
15) What Grade 2 lever locks can I use for the passage doors when the storeroom doors are Cal-Royal SL05?
To keep one grade across a floor, stay at Grade 2 on the non-keyed openings. The SL05 handles the keyed storeroom doors at Grade 2. For passage, the Accentra 5301LN Augusta and the Accentra 4601LN are both Grade 2 cylindrical passage levers, the Design Hardware J75 is a Grade 2 passage lever lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Arrow GL01 is a Grade 2 Sierra lever non-keyed passage lock for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. Check the door thickness against each, since the SL05 range of 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch does not line up with all of them.
16) Is there a keyless alternative to the Cal-Royal SL05 for a storage room where I do not want to issue keys?
Yes, a mechanical or electronic keypad lever removes the key entirely. The SL05 uses a 6-pin C keyway cylinder with two keys per lock. If you would rather manage a code, the Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with ADA compliance for doors 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch, the Lockey 2835DC adds a double combination over that same thickness range, and the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock. The tradeoff is code management instead of key control: keypads have no cylinder to master key into an existing system.
17) Will a dummy lever match the Cal-Royal SL05 on an inactive leaf?
A dummy trim is a lever and rose with no latch and no cylinder, so it will not secure anything - it is for a fixed or inactive leaf only. If that is what the opening needs, the BEST 7KC single dummy trim is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical lever dummy and the BEST 9K 1DT is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed dummy. The Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever. None of these bore or latch like the SL05, which is a keyed storeroom lockset with a 1/2 inch latch throw, so they are not substitutes for a locking opening.
18) Is a Grade 3 residential leverset an acceptable substitute for the Cal-Royal SL05 on a commercial door?
Not for the same duty. The SL05 is a commercial Grade 2 cylindrical lockset. Grade 3 sets such as the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever over the same range, the Callan Asheville passage lever, and the Master Lock RL Series keyed entry lever sit a grade below and are built to a lighter cycle expectation. On a tenant interior door in a residential unit they may be all the opening needs; behind a stock room or a corridor with daily commercial traffic, stay at Grade 2 or better.
19) What should I use instead of the Cal-Royal SL05 on a utility or patient room door in a healthcare or detention setting?
Look at an asylum or institutional function. The SL05 is a storeroom lock with free egress from the inside lever at all times. Asylum function is keyed on both sides, so neither lever retracts the latch without a key - that is the point on a utility closet or a controlled room. The Dexter C1000 asylum is Grade 1, F87 function, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Arrow MK33-BD-CS is a Grade 2 heavy duty asylum lock with a ball knob and a conventional Schlage C keyway cylinder. Confirm the egress code path for the room before specifying either.
20) I need an ADA compliant lever to replace knob locks in my building - which options work?
Any lever trim addresses the knob-grasping issue; the Cal-Royal SL05 is a lever handle set built for Barrier-Free applications. Watch out for the knob-trim sets in the same duty class, which do not help you: the Arrow HK11-BB is a Grade 2 turn-pushbutton entrance lock with a ball knob for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Arrow MK02-TA is a privacy lock with a Tudor knob. If you are standardizing a facility on levers, pair the SL05 storeroom openings with lever passage sets such as the Falcon B101 Grade 2 or the Hager 2510 Grade 2 rather than carrying knob trim on adjacent doors.
21) Can I put the Cal-Royal SL05 on a restroom door?
A restroom wants privacy function, not storeroom. The SL05 is keyed storeroom, so the outside lever is always locked and opens by key - an occupant cannot lock it from the inside. For a bath or restroom, the Arrow MK02-TA is a privacy lock with a Tudor knob and is fire rated, the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with 5048 rose covers privacy in a lever, and the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 privacy lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. Keep the SL05 for the janitor and stock rooms on the same corridor.
22) The storeroom door needs to unlock on a fire alarm signal - what do I use instead of the Cal-Royal SL05?
You need an electrified lever, which the SL05 is not - it is a mechanical cylindrical lockset operated by key or by the inside lever. The Corbin Russwin CL33903 is a Grade 1 fail safe electrified cylindrical lever running 12VAC/DC for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, and the CL33903 with NZ lever and D rose is the same Grade 1 fail safe arrangement over that thickness range. Fail safe means the outside lever releases when power drops, so confirm that is the behavior your access control sequence calls for.
23) Do the levers on the Cal-Royal SL05 droop over time like cheaper lever locks?
Lever sag is handled with an individual spring on each side of the lever rather than a single return spring. That's the failure most property managers see on budget levers, where the outside lever slowly drops and eventually stops retracting the latch. Fewer service calls on a corridor full of doors.
24) Is the Cal-Royal SL05 a commercial lock or a residential one?
Commercial. It's a bored cylindrical lockset built to the commercial standard, with a wrought brass, bronze, or stainless steel case and a UL listed latchbolt. Residential-grade Grade 3 levers like the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton are a different class of product and won't hold up on a storeroom door taking daily traffic.
25) Are decorative brass leversets an equivalent to the Cal-Royal SL05?
They serve a different door. The SL05 is a commercial Grade 2 storeroom lockset with a wrought brass, bronze or stainless steel substrate and zinc cast levers plated to match the trim finish. Decorative sets such as the Deltana 6201 Manchester entry lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Deltana 6431 Linstead entry lever over the same range, and the Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever with 5048 rose are entry and passage function trims aimed at finished interiors, not keyed storeroom control on a commercial opening. If a designer picked a decorative lever for a lobby, the back-of-house doors can still run SL05 storeroom sets.
