Callan KA1001 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Callan Brayden entry knob fit my existing door prep?
If the door is bored to the standard residential pattern, yes. The Brayden entrance knobset uses a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and a 1 inch edge bore, with an adjustable latch that sets to either a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset. Door thickness range is 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, so it covers both older interior doors and standard 1-3/4 inch exterior doors. No new drilling if the existing hole matches those bores.
2) Do I have to order the Callan Brayden knobset in a specific hand?
No. The Brayden is fully reversible, so one part number covers left hand and right hand doors. You set the hand during install, which also means a property manager can stock a single item for a whole building rather than splitting inventory by swing.
3) Can I get the Callan Brayden keyed alike with the rest of my locks?
Yes. Keying is a required selection: keyed different or keyed alike. The keyway is also a choice, KW1 5-pin standard or SC1 5-pin, so you can match whichever key system is already on the building. The cylinder is 5 pin. If you need a specific key bitting, that goes through the key charge option.
4) Is the Callan Brayden knobset tough enough for a commercial building or apartment turnover?
It meets BHMA Grade 3 and is catalogued as residential duty, made of zinc. Grade 3 is the light residential tier, fine for single family homes and low traffic interior or entry doors. For a commercial corridor, a leased office, or high turnover multi-family, step up to a Grade 2 or Grade 1 cylindrical knob such as the Corbin Russwin CK4851 entrance/office lock or the BEST 8K Series entrance knob lock.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the Callan Brayden Grade 3 entrance knobset from another brand?
The Callan Brayden is a Grade 3 keyed entrance knobset for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. The closest direct equivalents are the Cal-Royal BER00, a Grade 3 entrance/office knob lock with a Kwikset keyway for the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door range, the Pamex FTF Baron in the entrance/office function, also Grade 3 for the same door thickness range, and the Kwikset 400P-CP Polo keyed entry knob, Grade 3 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Master Lock BC Series BC01 biscuit knob is another Grade 3 keyed entry knob. Any of the four give you the same keyed-outside, turn-button-inside function at the same grade.
6) The Callan Brayden is Grade 3 and my opening is a commercial corridor door. What should I use instead?
The Callan Brayden is a residential-duty Grade 3 knobset, so for a commercial opening with high cycle traffic step up in grade. The BEST 8K Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty entrance function single cylinder knob lock, and the Corbin Russwin CK4851 is an entrance/office cylindrical knob lock with a conventional cylinder rated Grade 1 for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. If Grade 2 is enough for the spec, the Dexter C2000 entry/office ball knob lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. All three keep the keyed entrance function the Brayden provides.
7) My door is thicker than 1-3/4 inches. What keyed knob lock covers it instead of the Callan Brayden?
The Callan Brayden is built for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. For a thicker slab, the Corbin Russwin CK4851 entrance/office cylindrical knob lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Deltana 3381 Egg Knob entry and Deltana 6171 Round Knob entry also cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Confirm the cross bore and backset on the existing prep before ordering.
8) I need the exterior to stay locked at all times rather than the Callan Brayden entrance function. What knob lock does that?
The Callan Brayden is an entrance function, so the inside turn button controls whether the outside knob is locked and it can be left unlocked. Where the outside knob must stay locked at all times and always require a key, use a storeroom function instead: the Sargent 6G04 is a Grade 2 standard duty storeroom/closet knob lock with a single cylinder, and the Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom/closet single cylinder knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset. For a classroom opening keyed from outside only, the Dexter C2000 Grade 2 classroom ball knob lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
9) What does the entrance function on this Callan knob actually do?
Keyed entry, single cylinder. Outside knob locks and unlocks with a key; inside has a turn button to lock or release it. It is the normal front door or apartment entry function, not a storeroom lock that stays locked at all times.
10) Will the Brayden latch into the strike plate that is already in my jamb?
The latch has a 1/2 inch throw with a round corner faceplate. That works with a standard residential round corner strike. If your existing latch faceplate is square corner, the mortise in the door edge will need the corners squared off or you swap the strike, since the Brayden ships round corner only.
11) I need matching knobs for the bedrooms and closets, not keyed. What goes with the Brayden?
The Brayden is the keyed entry function only, so interior doors need a different lock. For a matched set at the same grade, Pamex FTF Baron comes in privacy for bed and bath and passage for halls and closets, both Grade 3 for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. Cal-Royal BER20 is a Grade 3 privacy knob in the same range. Styling will not match the Brayden exactly, so if appearance matters across a house, keep one brand family throughout.
12) I do not need the door keyed. What is the non-keyed version of a knobset like the Callan Brayden?
The Callan Brayden is a keyed entrance function, locked from outside with a key and from inside with a turn button. For a bedroom or bath where you only want a thumbturn and no key, the Pamex FTF Baron privacy knob lockset is Grade 3 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, as is the Cal-Royal BER20 privacy knob lock. For a hall or closet door that only needs to latch, the Pamex FTF Baron passage knob lockset is the Grade 3 passage version, and the Dexter C2000 passage ball knob lock is a Grade 2 option for the same door range.
13) Will a dummy knob work in place of the Callan Brayden entrance knobset?
No. The Callan Brayden is a keyed entrance knobset with a working latch and a 1/2 inch throw, so it actually latches and locks the door. Dummy trim such as the BEST 6K Series single dummy, the Schlage A170 single dummy trim, the Bravura Biloxi dummy knobset or the Cal-Royal BA40 dummy knob has no latch mechanism at all and simply surface mounts as a pull. Use dummy trim only on an inactive leaf or a door held by a ball catch, never as a substitute for a keyed opening.
14) I am standardizing a building on one knob family. How does the Callan Brayden compare to other Grade 3 entrance knobsets for that?
The Callan Brayden is a Grade 3 entrance knobset offered with a KW1 or SC1 5-pin cylinder and keyed alike or keyed different, which is what makes it workable as a fleet standard. Comparable Grade 3 entrance families include the Delaney Belton, Galway and Olivia entrance knobsets, all Grade 3 entrance function, and the Cal-Royal BER00 entrance/office with a Kwikset keyway. Choosing one family across the doors keeps the keying and the trim appearance consistent unit to unit.
15) Does the Callan Brayden knobset carry a fire rating for a rated door?
The Callan Brayden is a Grade 3 residential entrance knobset. For a labeled fire door opening, choose a knob lock listed as fire rated, such as the Falcon W101 Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset or the Falcon X101 Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical knobset with interchangeable core for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Both are passage function, so pair them with the keyed hardware your rated opening schedule calls for.
16) What should I use instead of the Callan Brayden if I want keyless entry on a rental unit?
The Callan Brayden uses a 5-pin KW1 or SC1 cylinder and requires a physical key from the outside. If you want to eliminate key handoffs between tenants, the Lockey 3830 is a mechanical keyless combination knob lock with an auto-locking passage function for doors 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch thick. It changes the workflow entirely, so verify the door thickness and existing bore before swapping.
17) Is the Callan Brayden the same thing as a knob trim for an exit device?
No. The Callan Brayden is a complete cylindrical knobset that bores into the door with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and 1 inch edge bore and includes its own latch. Knob trim for an exit device, such as the Sargent 28C-KNOB entrance function trim for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Sargent 78-2875 outside knob only, or the Imperial USA ED-BKL580 storeroom function knob trim, mounts to a panic device and has no latch of its own. Those are only correct where a rim or mortise exit device is already on the door.
18) What finishes does the Callan Brayden entry knob come in?
Two: US15 satin nickel and US3 bright brass. Satin nickel is the usual match for contemporary trim packages, bright brass for traditional. If you are matching existing hardware across a house, pick the one that matches your hinges and deadbolt.
19) How much clearance does the Brayden knob need off the door face?
Projection is 2-3/8 inches. Worth checking if the door swings against a wall, a cabinet run, or another door in a tight hallway. The screws are exposed rather than concealed, so the rose fasteners are visible on the interior side.
20) The Callan Brayden is zinc. What is a solid brass alternative for a decorative entry?
The Callan Brayden knobset is made of durable zinc and comes in US15 satin nickel and US3 bright brass. Where an owner wants solid brass construction on a decorative interior opening, the Omnia 434/PA egg-shaped knob latchset with a 3 inch projection and the Omnia 458/0 single dummy knob latchset with a 2-3/8 inch backset are solid brass. Note those Omnia items are passage and dummy functions, so they do not replace a keyed entrance opening.
21) Can I buy a knob and deadbolt together instead of just the Callan Brayden knobset?
The Callan Brayden ships as a keyed entrance knobset with an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset latch. If you want the knob and deadbolt packaged as one keyed unit, the Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob is a combo pack with adjustable backsets and dual strikes for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. If you are furnishing several openings at once with knobs only, the Sure-Loc Bergen round knob is sold as a 6-pack with adjustable backset.
22) Can one person install the Callan Brayden, or do I need a helper?
It is built for one person. The knobset threads together from both faces with the adjustable latch already set to your backset, so a single installer can hold and fasten it without a second pair of hands on the far side.
