Cal-Royal SOP00-15 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I install the Cal-Royal SOP00 in an existing 2-1/8 inch door prep without redrilling?
If the door is already bored 2-1/8 inches for the face with a 1 inch cross bore, the SOP00 drops straight in. It is a standard cylindrical bored lockset in that prep, and it will take either of the two common backsets, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches. A drive-in latch and an adjustable backset are available on special factory order if the existing prep needs them.
2) Does the Cal-Royal SOP00 need to be ordered left hand or right hand?
No handing to specify. The SOP00 leverset is reversible for right and left hand doors, so one part number covers both swings and a property manager can stock a single lock for a whole building. The latch is a 1 x 2-1/4 inch round corner face as standard, with square corner available by special factory order.
3) How does the entrance/office function on the Cal-Royal SOP00 actually work day to day?
Both sides are locked or unlocked by key from the outside or by the push button inside. Push the button and the outside lever stays locked until it is released; key the outside cylinder and you can lock or unlock without going in. That is the usual setup for a tenant suite or an office door where staff wants to secure the room from inside at the end of the day. It is a single cylinder keyed function.
4) Is a Grade 3 lever lock like the Cal-Royal SOP00 enough for a commercial office door, or do I need Grade 1?
The SOP00 is Grade 3 to ANSI A156.2, light duty, and Cal-Royal builds it for commercial use with an all metal body, a solid brass forged body and wrought brass, bronze or stainless steel parts. That suits tenant offices, back-of-house rooms and multi-tenant residential entries. For a high traffic corridor, a school classroom or anything on a fire rated opening, step up: the Dexter C1000 entry/office lever is Grade 1 and covers the same 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 entry/office lever in between.
5) Which lever lock do I use instead of the Cal-Royal SOP00 on a fire rated opening?
Among the comparable levers, fire rating is carried by the Corbin Russwin CL3110, a Grade 1 vandal resistant cylindrical lever in passage/closet function for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Falcon K101, a Grade 1 non-handed passage lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. Both are passage function with no key, unlike the keyed entrance/office Cal-Royal SOP00, so a fire rated opening needing key control calls for a keyed model confirmed against the label.
6) What is the closest Grade 1 entrance/office lever lock to the Cal-Royal SOP00?
The Dexter C1000 Series entry/office cylindrical lever lock carries the same Entrance/Office function and the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range as the Cal-Royal SOP00, at Grade 1 with a clutching, keyed lever. The SOP00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office lever for wood and metal doors in the same thickness range. For an opening where the specification calls for ANSI Grade 1 lever hardware, the Dexter C1000 entry/office meets that grade on the same door prep depth.
7) What should I use instead of the Cal-Royal SOP00 on a 2 inch thick door?
The Cal-Royal SOP00 covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. For a thicker leaf, the Hager 2525 Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with lever handle is rated 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lever runs 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. The Hager 2525 keeps a keyed entry function; the Falcon K101 is passage only and has no key.
8) I need a lever that always stays locked from outside - is the Cal-Royal SOP00 the right one?
No. On the Cal-Royal SOP00 both sides are locked or unlocked by key outside or push button inside, so an occupant can leave the outside lever unlocked. For an opening that must stay secure from the corridor at all times, the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom cylindrical lock with a Withnell lever, rated for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. Storeroom function is the correct call for mechanical rooms, IT closets and stockrooms.
9) Can I use a Cal-Royal SOP00 on a classroom door?
The Cal-Royal SOP00 is an entrance/office function with a push button on the inside, which is not the function schools specify for instructional space. The Dexter C1000 Grade 1 classroom lever and the Dexter C1000 Grade 1 classroom security lever are both keyed and clutching, and both fit 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same range as the SOP00. The classroom security version adds key control of the inside lever.
10) What takes the place of the Cal-Royal SOP00 where the door has to release on a fire alarm?
The Cal-Royal SOP00 is a mechanical entrance/office lever with no electrical provision. For access control tied into an alarm or card reader, the Corbin Russwin CL33903 is a Grade 1 fail safe electrified cylindrical lever lock at 12VAC/DC for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, offered with an NZ lever and D rose. Fail safe means the lever unlocks when power drops, which is what an egress release sequence requires.
11) What strike does the Cal-Royal SOP00 use, and will it hit my existing frame cutout?
The SOP00 ships with a round corner full lip strike measuring 1-3/4 x 2-1/4 inches. That is the common commercial frame prep, so if your frame is already cut for a round corner full lip strike of that size you can reuse the opening. A T-strike is offered as an option, and there is a round corner deadbolt strike at 1 x 2-1/4 inches if a deadbolt is being run alongside. Strikes and latchbolts are matched across the knob and lever lines.
12) Can I key a set of Cal-Royal SOP00 locks alike across several doors?
Yes, keyed alike is one of the two keying choices at order time, the other being keyed different. Because the cylinders are re-keyable and take master and construction keying, a property manager can put a whole floor on one tenant key and still bring it into a building master later. If you need Schlage C to match an existing system, that keyway is a special factory request.
13) Can the Cal-Royal SOP00 go on a hollow metal door, or is it wood only?
Both. The SOP00 is built for wood and metal doors within the 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch thickness range, which covers a hollow metal leaf in a steel frame as well as a solid core wood door. The prep is the same either way: 2-1/8 inch face bore, 1 inch cross bore, and a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset.
14) What is the difference between an entrance/office lever and a storeroom or classroom lever?
Entrance/office, which is what the Cal-Royal SOP00 is, lets the occupant lock the door themselves with a push button inside and the key outside controls it too, so the lever can be left unlocked for business hours. A storeroom lever keeps the outside always locked and key-only, with no inside button, which is what you want on an electrical or supply room: the Hager 2580 with the Withnell lever is a Grade 2 storeroom option. A classroom function is keyed from the outside only with no inside button, so a student cannot lock the room; the Dexter C1000 classroom lever covers that.
15) What other Grade 3 keyed entry levers could I use instead of the Cal-Royal SOP00?
Two close ones. The Callan Artino is a Grade 3 entrance leverset, and the Master Lock RL Series return style lever is a Grade 3 keyed entry lockset. Both sit at the same duty level as the SOP00. What the Cal-Royal brings over them in the data we hold is the solid brass forged body and wrought brass, bronze or stainless steel construction rather than a lighter build, plus a KW keyway that is re-keyable into a master system.
16) What is the difference between the Cal-Royal SOP00 and a Callan Bennett entrance leverset with deadbolt?
The Cal-Royal SOP00 is a single cylinder entrance/office lever alone, using a round corner full lip strike sized 1-3/4 inch by 2-1/4 inch. The Callan Bennett is a Grade 3 entrance leverset with a deadbolt combo, so it adds a second bore and a second strike to the door prep. Both are Grade 3 entrance function; the Bennett is the choice when the opening needs auxiliary deadbolt security in one keyed set.
17) What Grade 3 keyed lever lock can substitute for the Cal-Royal SOP00?
Two Grade 3 keyed levers cover the same ground. The Callan Artino is a Grade 3 entrance leverset, and the Master Lock BC Series RL is a Grade 3 return style keyed entry lockset. Both are keyed entrance function at the same ANSI grade as the Cal-Royal SOP00, which is a Grade 3 entrance/office lever with single cylinder keying. A property manager matching lever style across a building can pick among the three on trim design at one grade.
18) What is a simpler alternative to the Cal-Royal SOP00 for a door that does not need to lock?
The Cal-Royal SOP00 is a keyed single cylinder entrance/office lever. Where the opening needs a lever that always retracts the latch, the Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset and the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 passage lever set rated for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same thickness range the SOP00 covers. Both are non-keyed, so there is no cylinder to key into a master system.
19) Is the Cal-Royal SOP00 a substitute for a privacy lever on a restroom or bedroom door?
It is not. The Cal-Royal SOP00 is a keyed single cylinder entrance/office lever, so it takes a cylinder and a key on the outside. A privacy opening wants no key: the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with a Withnell lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 privacy lever set for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with 5048 rose covers the same function in a decorative trim.
20) What replaces the Cal-Royal SOP00 if I want keyless entry with no key to distribute?
The Cal-Royal SOP00 uses a single cylinder key outside. To remove keys from the opening, the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock, and the Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with ADA compliance for doors 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch, with a double combination version in the Lockey 2835DC. The Lockey units are mechanical, so no wiring or batteries are involved.
21) Does a dummy lever work as a cheaper version of the Cal-Royal SOP00 on an inactive leaf?
Only where nothing has to latch. The Cal-Royal SOP00 is a keyed cylindrical lock with a working latch in a 1 inch cross bore. A dummy trim has no latch and no bore for one: the BEST 7KC Series single dummy trim lever is Grade 2 medium duty, the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim is Grade 1 heavy duty, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 single dummy cylindrical lever. Use these on a fixed inactive leaf, never on a door that must stay closed or lock.
22) The Cal-Royal SOP00 uses a Kwikset keyway - what if my building is keyed to Schlage C?
The Cal-Royal SOP00 ships with a KW 5-pin Kwikset keyway as standard, re-keyable for master and construction keying, with Weiser and Schlage C keyways available on special factory request. If the building is already on Schlage C and a stock keyway is preferred, the Arrow MK33-BD-CS is a Grade 2 asylum cylindrical lock with a conventional cylinder in Schlage C keyway, though it is a ball knob in asylum function rather than an entrance/office lever.
23) Is a knob lockset an acceptable substitute for the Cal-Royal SOP00?
Functionally yes, ergonomically no on an ADA path. The Cal-Royal SOP00 is a lever handle type. The Arrow HK11-BB is a turn-pushbutton entrance cylindrical lock with a ball knob for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, matching the SOP00 door thickness range and its inside push button operation. Ball knobs require grasping and twisting, so on accessible openings the lever is the one to keep.
24) What finishes does the Cal-Royal SOP00 lever lock come in?
Three: US3 polished brass, US15 satin nickel, and US10B dark oxidized satin bronze. The levers are zinc casting plated to match the trim finish, so the lever and the rose read the same across a run of doors. If you are matching existing hardware in a building, US15 is the usual partner for satin chrome trim and US10B for oil rubbed style door furniture.
25) Which entry lever gives the same look as the Cal-Royal SOP00 in a decorative residential trim?
The Cal-Royal SOP00 is a commercial entrance/office lever in wrought brass, bronze or stainless steel with zinc casting levers plated to match trim. For a decorative entry lever in the same keyed role, Deltana offers the 6201 Manchester, 6411 Morant and 6431 Linstead entry levers, all rated for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, plus the 5851 Claremont entry lever. These are entry function trims aimed at finish-driven openings rather than commercial grade duty cycles.
