Callan G2BN5101R – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Callan Bentley lever work with a 2-3/8 inch backset, or do I need to know the backset before ordering?
You don't need to measure first. The Bentley entrance leverset covers both common backsets: it is offered at 2-3/8 inch, at 2-3/4 inch, and with an adjustable latch that sets to either. Those are the two backsets used on virtually every bored door prep in North America, so an adjustable unit drops into an existing hole without a new bore.
2) Is the Callan Bentley leverset handed? I have doors swinging both ways in the building.
Not handed. The Bentley lever is reversible for left or right hand doors, so one part number covers every opening in a building regardless of swing. For a property manager stocking spares, that means one item on the shelf instead of two.
3) Can I key the Callan Bentley lever to my existing Schlage keys?
The Bentley entrance lever uses a 5 pin Schlage C cylinder, and it's ordered with either an SC1 5-pin or a KW1 5-pin keyway. Pick SC1 if the building is on Schlage keys, KW1 if it's on Kwikset. Keying is specified at order time as keyed different or keyed alike, so a set of doors can be brought onto one key.
4) Is a Callan Bentley Grade 2 lever heavy enough for a commercial corridor or apartment common area?
It is BHMA Grade 2, but Callan classes the Bentley as a residential product, which points it at unit entry doors, rental single family, and light multi-family rather than high-traffic common areas. For a corridor or a school opening, step up to a Grade 1 cylindrical, such as the Dexter C1000 Series entry/office lever or the Corbin Russwin CL3100 Series. Both are Grade 1 and built for that duty.
5) What else could I buy instead of a Callan Bentley entrance lever if I want a commercial-rated keyed entry?
A few real alternatives. The Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, so it takes thicker doors than the Bentley's 1-3/8 and 1-3/4. Cal-Royal AG00 is a Grade 2 entrance lever on a 6-pin Schlage C keyway with a 2-3/8 inch backset. If the opening needs Grade 1, the Dexter C1000 entry/office lever handles 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Falcon B511CP6D is another Grade 2 entry/office option.
6) Can a Callan Bentley lever replace an existing knob lockset without redrilling the door?
In most cases yes, if the existing hardware is a standard bored knob set. The Bentley uses a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and a 1 inch edge bore, which is the standard bored prep, and its adjustable latch covers both the 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inch backsets. Measure the cross bore and the door thickness first; if the door is thicker than 1-3/4 inches the Bentley will not make up, and you would want something like the Hager 2525 that goes to 2 inches.
7) What is the closest commercial-grade equivalent to the Callan Bentley Grade 2 entrance leverset?
The Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle, and it fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. The Callan Bentley entrance leverset is also a Grade 2 lever with an entrance function, and it covers 1-3/4 inch and 1-3/8 inch doors with a 5 pin Schlage C cylinder and a choice of SC1 or KW1 keyway. The Hager is described as a commercial lock, while the Bentley is classed as residential, so on a multi-family or commercial opening where the spec calls out a commercial entry lockset the 2525 is the direct swap.
8) What entrance lever should go on a classroom door instead of the Callan Bentley?
A classroom door wants a classroom function. The Dexter C1000 Series classroom lever is Grade 1, clutching and keyed for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Cal-Royal AG03 is a Grade 2 classroom lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different and a 2-3/4 inch backset. On a classroom function the outside lever is locked and unlocked by key only, so it cannot be left unsecured by someone inside. The Callan Bentley is keyed entry with an inside thumb turn, which is the opposite behavior.
9) Can I use a storeroom lever in place of the Callan Bentley entrance leverset?
They lock differently, so the swap changes how the door behaves. The Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever lockset with a deadlocking latchbolt for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom lock with a Withnell lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. On a storeroom function the outside lever stays locked at all times and a key retracts the latch. The Callan Bentley is a keyed entry lever where an inside thumb turn locks and unlocks the outside lever on demand. Choose storeroom for a door that must never be left unsecured, and the Bentley for a door occupants lock and unlock themselves.
10) Which keyed entry lever should I specify if the doors are thicker than 1-3/4 inch?
The Callan Bentley entrance leverset is built for 1-3/4 inch and 1-3/8 inch doors. For a thicker leaf, the Deltana 6201 Manchester, 6411 Morant, and 6431 Linstead entry levers all cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Hager 2525 Grade 2 commercial entry lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Measure the leaf at the lock stile before ordering, since a chassis sized for 1-3/4 inch will not draw up on a 2 inch door.
11) Is there a knob version of the Callan Bentley entrance function?
The Arrow HK11-BB is a turn-pushbutton entrance cylindrical lock with a ball knob and a conventional cylinder, rated Grade 2 for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. It gives the same entrance function on a knob instead of a lever. The Callan Bentley is Grade 2 keyed entry with a metal lever handle and ADA compliant operation. Where ADA applies, the lever is the one that meets the requirement - specify the knob only on openings the code does not cover.
12) The Callan Bentley is not fire rated - what keyed or non-keyed lever should I put on a rated opening?
Specify a lock that carries the rating. The Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 passage cylindrical lock with a fire rating, non-handed levers, heavy duty construction, and a 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 fire rated vandal resistant passage lever for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. Both are passage function, so they do not lock. The Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 keyed entry lever classed for residential use. Match the labeled door assembly to a labeled lockset.
13) Will the Callan Bentley leverset mount on a metal door, or is it wood only?
Both. The Bentley ships with combination screws that suit wood or metal door mounting, so the same lockset goes on a hollow metal unit entry or a solid wood interior door without ordering separate hardware. The chassis is all metal with an interlocking design and a protective sleeve over the latch.
14) What do I have to specify when ordering a Callan Bentley entrance leverset?
Three things beyond the finish. Keyway (SC1 5-pin standard or KW1 5-pin), keying (keyed different or keyed alike, with a key charge line if a specific keying is required), and the finish itself: US15 Satin Nickel, US19 Black, or US10BE Edged Bronze. Latch faceplate comes round corner or squared corner, so match whatever is already mortised into the door edge.
15) How does the Callan Bentley keyed entry lever lock and unlock, and is it panic proof?
Keyed on the outside, thumbturn on the inside. Turn the inside thumbturn and the outside lever is locked until a key or the thumbturn releases it. It is not panic proof, meaning turning the inside lever does not automatically release the outside trim. If you need an opening where a single motion on the inside always unlocks the outside as well, that is a different function than what the Bentley provides.
16) Is the Callan Bentley lever ADA compliant for a rental unit door?
Yes, the Bentley is ADA compliant. It's a lever rather than a knob, which is the operable-hardware requirement that catches most retrofits. Worth noting for anyone converting knob openings in a multi-family building to meet accessibility requirements.
17) I need matching levers on the interior doors, not keyed ones. What pairs with a Callan Bentley entrance set?
The Bentley entrance lever is the keyed function only. For the bedroom and bath doors you want a privacy function, and for hall and closet doors a passage function. Options in the same bored cylindrical format include the Bravura Miramar or Atlanta passage leversets in Grade 2, the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever, or the Hager 2540 for privacy. Matching finish across brands is the thing to check, since trim styling will differ.
18) Is a keypad leverset a substitute for the Callan Bentley entrance leverset?
It changes how the door is credentialed. 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. Both open on a code rather than a key. The Callan Bentley is keyed entry on a 5 pin Schlage C cylinder and can be ordered keyed alike or keyed different, so it drops into an existing key system where the code locks do not. Pick the keypad where you are turning over tenants or crews and want to change a code instead of a cylinder.
19) What is the difference between the Callan Bentley entrance leverset and the Cal-Royal AUS00 entrance lever?
Grade and function separate them. The Cal-Royal AUS00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office lever with a solid brass forged body for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Callan Bentley is Grade 2 with keyed entry function, all metal construction, an interlocking chassis, and a 5 pin Schlage C cylinder, and it fits 1-3/4 inch and 1-3/8 inch doors. An entrance/office lever is turned by a pushbutton or turn on the inside face; the Bentley uses a thumb turn on the inside to lock the outside lever.
20) Does a dummy lever work in place of the Callan Bentley on a non-latching door?
No - a dummy has no latch at all. The BEST 7KC Series single dummy trim is a Grade 2 non-keyed dummy lever, and the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy comes in left hand and right hand versions with the 5048 rose. Dummy trim is surface mounted pull hardware for an inactive leaf or a closet on a ball catch. The Callan Bentley is a keyed entry lever with an adjustable GR2 latch, a 2-1/8 inch cross bore, and a 1 inch edge bore, so it operates a door that latches. Order dummy trim only for a leaf that never needs to latch.
21) What lever do I use on the bathroom and bedroom doors if the entry doors are Callan Bentley?
Use a privacy function. The Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with a Withnell lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton privacy lever set is Grade 3 for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. Privacy levers lock from inside with a turn and release with an emergency tool, with no key cylinder. The Callan Bentley is the keyed entry lever for the exterior openings, so pairing it with a privacy lever inside keeps one lever style logic across the unit without keying interior doors.
22) What is the difference between the Callan Bentley entrance leverset and the Master Lock BC Series keyed entry lockset?
The Master Lock BC Series is a Grade 3 return style lever keyed entry lockset. The Callan Bentley is Grade 2 keyed entry with reversible handing, a patented GR2 adjustable latch that sets to 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset, a 5 pin Schlage C cylinder, and ADA compliant lever operation. Both are keyed entry levers; the Bentley carries the higher BHMA grade and the adjustable backset, which matters when you are stocking one part for doors bored at either backset.
23) I need a keyed lever for a utility or maintenance room - is the Callan Bentley the right choice?
For a utility room where the lever must stay locked from outside, the Arrow MK33-BD-CS is a Grade 2 asylum function cylindrical lock with a heavy duty rating, a ball knob, and a conventional Schlage C keyway. Asylum function keeps both sides key operated. The Callan Bentley is a keyed entry lever where the inside thumb turn frees the outside lever, which is right for a unit or office door but leaves the outside unlocked whenever someone turns the thumb turn. Both take a Schlage C key, so they can share a key system.
24) Can I mix the Callan Bentley with Falcon B Series levers across a building?
They cover different functions in the same Grade 2 tier. The Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical lever with entry/office function and the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 medium duty passage lever with a non-handed design. The Callan Bentley is Grade 2 keyed entry with reversible handing and a 5 pin Schlage C cylinder available on the SC1 keyway. Keyed openings on a Schlage C system can carry either the Bentley or the Falcon entry/office lock, with the Falcon B101 on the non-keyed doors.
