Callan KA5101R – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Callan Lexington entrance leverset fit a 1-3/8 inch door, or does it need a 1-3/4 inch door?
Both. The Lexington keyed entry leverset covers 1-3/8 inch through 1-3/4 inch doors, which spans the common older interior door and the standard exterior residential door. Bore prep is 2-1/8 inch cross bore with a 1 inch edge bore, and the latch adjusts between a 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch backset, so it drops into a standard pre-bored door without redrilling.
2) Do I have to order a left hand or right hand Callan Lexington lever?
No handing to specify. The Lexington entrance lever is fully reversible in the field for left or right hand doors, so one part number covers either swing. That matters if you are buying a batch for a building and don't want to count door swings before ordering.
3) Will a Callan Lexington lever latch into the strike plate already in my door frame?
The Lexington ships with a 1/2 inch throw latch and a round corner faceplate. A 1/2 inch throw is the standard residential cylindrical latch projection, so it will engage a strike already set for a bored lockset at either a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset. If the existing latch faceplate is square corner or a drive-in, the mortise pocket in the door edge will need to be recut to the round corner shape.
4) Can I get the Callan Lexington entry lever keyed alike to the rest of my locks?
Yes. Keying is chosen at order: keyed different, keyed alike, or a key charge option. Keyway is selectable as KW1 5-pin (Kwikset) or SC1 5-pin (Schlage), both 5-pin cylinders, so pick whichever matches the keys already in circulation on the property. For a landlord replacing several doors in one unit, keyed alike on a single keyway is what keeps one key working the whole unit.
5) Is a Grade 3 lever like the Callan Lexington good enough for an apartment building or should I buy commercial?
Grade 3 is the residential duty level, and the Lexington is built to residential spec in zinc. It suits single family, condo interiors, and light apartment turnover. For a commercial corridor, a school, or a high-traffic multifamily entrance, step up: the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lever, and the Dexter C1000 Entry/Office is Grade 1 for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. Those carry the cycle life a busy opening chews through.
6) What is the closest equivalent to the Callan Lexington Grade 3 entrance leverset from another brand?
The Master Lock BC Series RL01 return style lever is the nearest match: it is a Grade 3 keyed entry lever, the same grade and entrance function as the Lexington. Both are keyed on the outside for a front, side or back entrance door. The Lexington carries a US15 satin nickel finish and a 5 pin KW1 cylinder with an SC1 5-pin keyway also available, so if an existing Kwikset or Schlage key system has to be matched, the Lexington keyway choice is the deciding detail.
7) Which entrance lever should be used instead of the Callan Lexington on a commercial opening that needs a heavier grade?
The Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle, fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. The Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever is also Grade 2, with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different and a 2-3/8 inch backset, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Callan Lexington is a Grade 3 entrance leverset built for residential use, with zinc construction and an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick.
8) For a school or institutional door, what lever should be specified rather than the Callan Lexington entrance leverset?
The Dexter C1000 Series classroom lever is Grade 1 with classroom function and clutching, keyed, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the C1000 classroom security version is the same grade and door range with classroom security function. Where a storeroom function is called for, the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever lockset with a deadlocking latchbolt over that same door thickness range. The Callan Lexington is a Grade 3 residential keyed entry lever.
9) What entrance lever works on a door thicker than 1-3/4 inch, since the Callan Lexington tops out there?
The Deltana 6201 Manchester, 6411 Morant and 6431 Linstead entry levers all fit doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. The Hager 2525 Grade 2 commercial entry lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch as well. The Callan Lexington is sized for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch with an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset.
10) What does keyed entry single cylinder mean on a lever lock, and is it right for a front door?
Single cylinder means a key operates the outside lever and a thumbturn on the inside locks and unlocks it. No key needed to get out. That is the standard arrangement for a front, side, or back entrance door in a house or apartment. If you want a lever that never locks (hall or closet), that is a passage function instead, and a bathroom door wants a privacy function.
11) Does the Callan Lexington lever meet ADA requirements for lever operation?
Yes, the Lexington entrance leverset meets ADA requirements. The lever shape itself is what does it, since it operates without grasping, pinching, or twisting the wrist the way a knob does. That is the usual reason a property manager swaps knobs for levers on an accessible unit.
12) I need a matching passage or privacy lever for the bedroom doors on the same job. What pairs with a satin nickel entry lever?
The Lexington keyed entry lever covers the exterior doors. For interior openings, a Bravura Miramar or Atlanta Grade 2 passage leverset handles halls and closets, and a Kwikset 300BRNL Breton Grade 3 privacy lever handles bed and bath on 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. Match on finish code across the doors, not on lever shape, if a consistent look matters to the tenant.
13) Is there a Grade 3 alternative to the Callan Lexington entrance lever for an interior door that does not need a key?
Yes. The Kwikset 200BRNL RDT Breton passage lever is Grade 3 with passage/hall/closet function for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton is the Grade 3 privacy version over the same door thickness range for a bed or bath door. Both are non-keyed, where the Callan Lexington is a keyed entry single cylinder lever with a thumb turn on the inside.
14) What is the difference between the Callan Lexington entrance leverset and the Cal-Royal AUS00?
Both are Grade 3 levers for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. The Cal-Royal AUS00 is an entrance/office function lever with a solid brass forged body. The Callan Lexington is an entrance function leverset made of zinc, reversible for left or right hand doors, with an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset and a 5 pin KW1 cylinder.
15) Can a Baldwin Estate 5103 or an Emtek dummy lever be used in place of the Callan Lexington entrance leverset?
No. The Baldwin Estate 5103 with 5048 rose comes in passage, privacy and half dummy versions, and the Emtek Arts & Crafts and Cortina leversets are dummy pairs. Dummy levers do not latch and privacy and passage levers take no key, so none of them will secure an exterior door. The Callan Lexington is a keyed entry single cylinder lever, keyed outside with a thumb turn inside. Among the Baldwin 5103 versions the passage lever is the closest in trim if the opening turns out not to need a key.
16) What keyless entrance lever can replace the Callan Lexington where handing out keys is not practical?
The Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock. On the mechanical side, the Lockey 1150 heavy duty keypad lever set uses a double combination and fits doors 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Lockey 2835DC double combination keyless lever covers 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch. The Callan Lexington instead uses a 5 pin cylinder, offered in KW1 or SC1 keyway and keyed alike or keyed different, which is the route to take when the opening has to fall into an existing key system.
17) Is the Arrow HK11-BB an alternative to the Callan Lexington entrance leverset?
It is an entrance-function alternative with a different trim. The Arrow HK11-BB is a Grade 2 turn-pushbutton entrance cylindrical lock with a ball knob and a conventional cylinder, fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the same door range as the Callan Lexington. The Lexington is a lever, which meets Americans with Disabilities Act requirements, so where ADA-compliant operation is required the lever is the one to specify.
18) What lever should be used instead of the Callan Lexington on a heavy traffic multifamily corridor door?
For heavy duty service the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 passage cylindrical lock with non-handed levers, fire rated, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Falcon T101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever with pressure release technology. Where the corridor door needs to be keyed, the Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 medium duty entry/office lever and the Dexter C1000 entry/office lever is Grade 1 with clutching, keyed, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Callan Lexington is a Grade 3 zinc entrance leverset for residential use.
19) How far does the Callan Lexington lever stick out from the door face?
Projection is 1-7/8 inches off the door face. Worth checking where a door swings back against a wall or an adjacent cabinet, and where a lever needs clearance from a storm door or a narrow jamb return.
20) Can one person install the Callan Lexington lever, and are the screws visible on the face?
It is built for a one person install on a standard bored door, and the mounting screws are exposed rather than concealed. If you want a clean rose with no visible fasteners, this is not the trim for it. The 2-1/8 inch cross bore and 1 inch edge bore are the standard prep, so no new drilling on a door that already had a bored lockset.
21) Is the Callan Lexington lever made of solid brass or cast metal?
Zinc. That is standard construction at the residential grade and it carries a US15 satin nickel finish. If the job spec calls for a forged brass body, the Cal-Royal AUS00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office lever with a solid brass forged body for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.
22) Which lever matches the Callan Lexington entrance leverset on a passage door in the same run of doors?
For matching non-keyed openings alongside a keyed entrance, the Kwikset 200BRNL RDT Breton passage lever is Grade 3 like the Lexington and fits the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door range. Stepping up a grade, the Bravura Atlanta, Orlando and Tampa passage leversets with round or square trim are Grade 2, as is the Hager 2510 passage lever, which fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch.
