Callan KI5021R – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Callan Kendall privacy leverset fit a 1-3/8 inch interior door?
Yes. The Kendall privacy leverset covers doors from 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, so it handles both older interior doors at 1-3/8 and standard 1-3/4 slabs without any extra kit. Bore prep is the usual 2-1/8 inch cross bore with a 1 inch edge bore, and the backset adjusts between 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inches, so it drops into a door already bored for a standard cylindrical lock.
2) Do I have to order the Callan Kendall lever left hand or right hand?
No handing to specify. The Kendall lever is fully reversible in the field for either left or right hand doors, so one part number covers every opening in a unit. That is what makes it a sensible stock item for a property manager keeping a few spares on the truck rather than a handed pair per door.
3) What does the privacy function on a bed and bath leverset actually do if someone gets locked in?
Locking is from the inside only, with a push or turn button on the room side, and the outside face carries a small pin hole so a parent or maintenance tech can release it from the corridor with an emergency key or a stiff wire. There is no keyed cylinder, so it is not a security lock, it is a do-not-enter lock for bedrooms and bathrooms.
4) Will the Kendall privacy lever latch into the strike plate that is already in my door frame?
The latch throws 1/2 inch, which is the normal throw for a residential cylindrical latch, so it will engage a standard bored-door strike already in the jamb. The faceplate is a round corner, so if your existing latch prep is a square corner mortise you will need to square the pocket or swap the strike to match. Projection off the door face is 2 inches.
5) Is a Grade 3 privacy lever enough for an apartment bedroom, or do I need Grade 2?
Grade 3 is the residential duty tier, and the Kendall is built for residential use in zinc. For bedroom and bathroom doors inside an apartment or a single family rental, that is the right level. For a corridor door, a leasing office, or anything a commercial tenant uses all day, step up: the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock, and the Arrow MK02-TA is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock in a knob rather than a lever.
6) Can I use the Kendall privacy leverset on an apartment entry door?
No. There is no keyed cylinder on a privacy lockset, so it cannot secure an entry. For a unit entry door you want a keyed function: the Cal-Royal AUS00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office lever for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors with a solid brass forged body, and the Master Lock RL01 is a Grade 3 keyed entry lever. Keep the Kendall for the bedroom and bathroom doors behind it.
7) My door is 2 inches thick. Will this lever work?
No. The Kendall tops out at 1-3/4 inches. For a thicker slab look at hardware rated past that: the Hager 2510 covers 1-3/8 to 2 inches, and the Deltana 6201 Manchester lever covers 1-3/8 to 2 inches as well. Measure the door edge before ordering, because forcing a short spindle into a thick door leaves the lever loose on the rose.
8) What is the closest equivalent to the Callan Kendall privacy leverset from another brand?
The Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton privacy lever set is the closest match. Both are Grade 3 privacy/bed/bath levers, and both cover a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range, so the Breton drops into the same bedroom and bathroom doors the Kendall is bored for. The Kendall is fully reversible for left or right hand openings with an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset, a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and a 1 inch edge bore.
9) I need a privacy lever for a bathroom door that is 2 inches thick - what works?
The Callan Kendall privacy leverset is built for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, so a 2 inch door is outside its range. The Arrow MK02-TA privacy lock covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors and is a privacy/bed/bath function with a fire rating, though it uses a Tudor knob rather than a lever. If a lever is required on a thicker door, the Hager 2540 privacy cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch.
10) Is the Callan Kendall privacy lever heavy duty enough for a commercial corridor?
The Kendall is a Grade 3 residential lever made of zinc. For commercial traffic, the Grade 2 options step up: the Hager 2540 privacy lock with Withnell lever, or on the entrance side the Hager 2525 commercial cylindrical entry lock. For a Grade 1 privacy function, the Arrow MK02-TA is Grade 1 and carries a fire rating.
11) What should I use instead of the Callan Kendall on a fire rated door?
The Kendall carries no fire rating in its specifications, so for a rated opening choose hardware listed for it. The Arrow MK02-TA is a Grade 1 privacy/bed/bath lock with a fire rating covering 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. For passage openings on a rated assembly, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage cylindrical lock with a fire rating covering 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever with a fire rating for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors.
12) Does the Callan Kendall lever meet ADA requirements for accessible units?
Yes. The Kendall is stated to meet the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act, which is the reason to run a lever rather than a knob on accessible units in the first place, since it operates without grasping or twisting the wrist.
13) Is zinc durable enough for a rental bathroom door lever?
The Kendall body is zinc and rated to BHMA Grade 3, the residential tier. For a bathroom or bedroom door in a house or apartment that is the normal spec and it holds up. Where the door sees constant public traffic, a dorm bath, a clinic restroom, a hotel corridor, move to heavier hardware. Grade 3 is not the tier for that duty cycle.
14) What is the difference between the Callan Kendall privacy lever and a passage lever?
The Kendall is a privacy function: it locks from the interior with an emergency pin hole on the exterior to release it, which is what bedroom and bathroom doors need. A passage lever has no lock at all and is used on hall and closet doors. Grade 3 passage equivalents include the Kwikset 200BRNL RDT Breton passage lever, which covers the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range as the Kendall.
15) Is the Callan Kendall lever ADA compliant compared to other levers?
The Callan Kendall privacy leverset meets Americans with Disabilities Act requirements. Among keyless alternatives, the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock is also ADA compliant and has a passage function, covering doors 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch thick, which is a different function and a wider thickness range than the Kendall's 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch privacy application.
16) I am standardizing lever hardware across an apartment building - does the Callan Kendall cover every door?
The Kendall covers the privacy openings, bedrooms and bathrooms, at Grade 3 with reversible handing. Halls and closets need a passage lever such as the Kwikset 200BRNL RDT Breton, Grade 3 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, or the Kwikset 200DL Delta passage lever with its adjustable 6AL latch and RCS strike. Unit entry doors need a keyed function such as the Master Lock BC Series RL01 Grade 3 keyed entry lever.
17) What finishes does the Callan Kendall privacy leverset come in?
Two: US15 Satin Nickel and US10BE Edged Bronze. If you are matching existing hardware across a building, satin nickel is the one that lines up with most modern brushed trim, and the edged bronze reads darker with the high points relieved. Both are the same lockset underneath, so mixing finishes across floors does not change the prep or the keying story.
18) Is the Callan Kendall lever a one person install, and what tools do I need?
It is built for one person to hang. The chassis goes through a 2-1/8 inch cross bore with a 1 inch edge bore, the backset adjusts on the latch so you do not need to know whether the door was bored at 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 before you get there, and handing is reversible in the field. Screws are exposed rather than concealed, so the roses fasten straight through without a spanner or set screw step.
19) Is a keypad leverset a substitute for the Callan Kendall privacy lever?
Not for a bedroom or bathroom. The Kendall locks from the inside and releases through an exterior pin hole, which is what a privacy opening needs. A keypad set such as the Delaney LP250 electronic keypad leverlock, Grade 2, or the Lockey 2835DC double combination mechanical keyless lever lock, which is a passage function for 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch doors, controls access from the outside instead and does not give an occupant a thumbturn.
20) Which finishes does the Callan Kendall privacy lever come in and what are the alternatives if I need satin brass?
The Callan Kendall privacy leverset comes in US15 Satin Nickel and US10BE Edged Bronze. For a satin brass lever, the Bravura Miramar with round trim is offered in US4 Satin Brass as a Grade 2 passage leverset, which is a passage function rather than privacy.
