Callan BN5021R – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Callan Bennett privacy leverset fit a 1-3/8 inch interior door with a 2-1/8 inch bore?
Yes. The Bennett privacy leverset covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors and drops into the standard prep: 2-1/8 inch cross bore, 1 inch edge bore. Backset adjusts between 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch, so it works on either of the two common bore locations without a separate part number. If your doors are already bored for a knob or lever, no new drilling is needed.
2) Do I have to order the Callan Bennett lever handed left or right?
No handing to specify. The Bennett lever is fully reversible in the field for left or right hand doors, so one part number covers every opening in the building. That matters if you are buying a carton for a turn or a whole floor of bedrooms and baths, since you cannot pick the wrong hand.
3) Is the Callan Bennett a locking bedroom and bathroom lever, and how do you get in if someone locks themselves in?
Privacy function: the inside lever carries the locking mechanism, and the outside face has a small pinhole for emergency release. That is the bed and bath setup, not a keyed lock. Nobody carries a key for it, and staff can open it from the corridor side with a pin or the emergency tool.
4) Will the Bennett privacy lever latch into the strike plates already in my door frames?
Latch throw is 1/2 inch with a round corner faceplate, which is the standard residential tubular latch projection, so it will engage an existing strike prepped for a common bored lockset. Watch the faceplate shape: the latch comes standard with round corners, so a frame or door edge morticed for a square corner faceplate will need the mortise squared off or the plate swapped.
5) Is the Callan Bennett leverset rated for a commercial building or apartment corridor doors?
The Bennett is a Grade 3 residential lever, zinc construction, and Callan lists it for residential use. For apartment interiors, single family, and light-traffic units it is the right duty level. For commercial corridors, schools, or anything taking constant cycling, step up to a Grade 2 or Grade 1 cylindrical lock: the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy lock with the Withnell lever, and the Arrow MK02-TA is a privacy cylindrical lock with a Tudor knob that carries a fire rating.
6) Can I use the Callan Bennett privacy lever on a fire rated bedroom door?
For a fire rated opening, specify a lock that carries the rating. Among privacy and passage cylindrical locks, the Arrow MK02-TA privacy lock is listed with a fire rating, and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock is fire rated and covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. The Bennett is a Grade 3 residential lever for standard interior bedroom and bath doors.
7) What is the closest equivalent to the Callan Bennett privacy leverset from another brand?
The Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever set is the nearest match. Like the Bennett, it is a Grade 3 privacy/bed/bath lever and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the same door thickness range the Bennett covers. Both are lever-style privacy sets for bedroom and bathroom doors, so a swap does not change the door prep or the function on the door.
8) I need a privacy lever for a bathroom door that is 2 inches thick - what works?
The Callan Bennett covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, so a thicker slab needs a different set. The Arrow MK02-TA is a privacy/bed/bath lock rated for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, and it carries a fire rating. It uses a Tudor knob rather than a lever, so confirm the trim style suits the opening before ordering.
9) Which privacy lever holds up better in a commercial or multi-family corridor than a Grade 3 set?
The Callan Bennett is a Grade 3 privacy set built for residential use. Where a higher-cycle rating is specified, the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 cylindrical privacy lock with the Withnell lever, covering doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Arrow MK02-TA is a Grade 1 privacy/bed/bath lock with a fire rating, for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch.
10) Can I use a Cal-Royal AUS00 in place of the Callan Bennett privacy lever?
No - the two are different functions. The Cal-Royal AUS00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office lever with a solid brass forged body, keyed from the outside, while the Callan Bennett is a privacy set with an interior turn and an exterior emergency pinhole and no key. They share the Grade 3 rating and the 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range, so the prep matches, but the AUS00 will not give a bedroom or bathroom the thumbturn privacy the Bennett provides.
11) Does the Callan Bennett lever meet ADA requirements for lever hardware?
Yes, Callan states the Bennett meets Americans with Disabilities Act requirements. The lever is 4-1/8 inches long with a 1-15/16 inch projection off the door face, which is what gives you the graspable, no-tight-pinch operation ADA asks for. Useful on accessible units and any door where a knob would not pass.
12) What finishes does the Callan Bennett privacy lever come in, and can I match the passage sets already on the other doors?
Five finishes: US15 Satin Nickel, US3 Polished Brass, US19 Black, US10BE Edged Bronze, and US15A Antique Nickel. Those are standard BHMA finish codes, so matching across a building is a matter of ordering the same code on the passage, privacy, and entry doors rather than eyeballing a swatch.
13) How much clearance do I need behind the Bennett lever for a door that swings against a wall or a narrow bath?
Projection is 1-15/16 inches from the door face, with a 4-1/8 inch lever. In a tight powder room or where the door swings back toward a vanity or a wall, that is the number to check against your stop or wall clearance before ordering a carton.
14) I need a passage lever and a privacy lever that look the same on bedroom and hall doors. Can I get a matching set?
The Bennett privacy lever handles the bed and bath doors. For the hall, closet, and pass-through doors in the same job, a passage function lever is what you want, and there are Grade 3 residential options like the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever set. If the whole opening group is being standardized, the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton is the privacy counterpart in the same family and also covers 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.
15) I ordered a Bennett privacy lever but the door does not need to lock - what should I get instead?
A hall or closet door takes a passage set, which latches but has no locking mechanism. The Kwikset 200BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 passage/hall/closet lever covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, matching the Bennett's Grade 3 rating and door thickness range. The Bravura Atlanta and Bravura Orlando are Grade 2 passage leversets with round trim if a heavier set is wanted.
16) Is a dummy lever the same as a privacy lever for a bathroom door?
No. A dummy lever is fixed trim with no latch and no locking mechanism - the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy in left hand and right hand, and the BEST 7KC single dummy trim, are all dummy function. The Callan Bennett is a privacy set with a working latch, a 1/2 inch latch throw and an interior lock, which is what a bathroom door needs. Dummy trim is for inactive leaves and closet doors held shut by a catch.
17) What privacy lever should I use on a door that also needs key access for staff?
The Callan Bennett is non-keyed - it locks from the inside only, with an exterior pinhole for emergency release. Where staff need a key, the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial entry lock with a lever handle for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. Both change the function on the door - neither gives an occupant the inside privacy turn.
18) Which privacy lever matches a decorative brass door package rather than a builder-grade one?
The Callan Bennett is a zinc lever with a 4-1/8 inch lever length and non-concealed screws, in finishes including US3 polished brass and US15A antique nickel. For a decorative package, the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with the 5048 rose is also a privacy/bed/bath function and comes with matching passage and half dummy versions in the same 5103 lever so a whole suite of doors reads the same.
19) Does the Falcon K101 work as a substitute for the Callan Bennett on a bedroom door?
Not for privacy. The Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage cylindrical lock with non-handed levers and a fire rating, covering doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch - it latches but never locks. The Callan Bennett is the privacy function, with the interior lock a bedroom or bathroom needs. The K101 is the right call for the hall doors in the same corridor, not the bedroom itself.
20) Are the mounting screws on the Callan Bennett lever hidden, or do they show on the rose?
Screws are exposed, not concealed. On the Bennett the rose fasteners are visible on the interior side. If a designer or an owner is asking for a clean rose with nothing showing, look at a set built for concealed fasteners instead; on a rental turn or an MRO swap this is rarely a factor and it makes the install faster.
21) Can one person install the Callan Bennett lever, and what tools does the job need?
It is a one-person install. Bored lockset, 2-1/8 inch cross bore and 1 inch edge bore, backset adjusted at the latch to 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches, then the two halves screw together through the door. On a turn where a maintenance tech is doing eight doors alone, that adjustable latch is what keeps it to one SKU on the truck.
22) I need a bathroom lock a resident cannot lock themselves out of the code with - what are my options versus a standard privacy set?
The Callan Bennett handles privacy the conventional way: interior lock, exterior pinhole for emergency entry, and it is ADA compliant. Where a facility wants no small parts or keys on the door at all, the Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function and ADA compliance for doors 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch. It is a code-entry set rather than a privacy set, so the occupant does not get a simple inside turn.
