Callan KN5001 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I use the Callan Newport entrance leverset on a fire rated door?
No. The Newport is a residential Grade 3 lockset and is not the lock to put on a rated opening. For a rated door you want a lock with a fire rating on record, such as the Falcon K101 Grade 1 cylindrical lock, which is fire rated and covers 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch doors, or the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1, fire rated for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors. Note both of those are non-keyed passage functions, so match the function to your opening.
2) Does the Newport lever drop into an existing 2-1/8 inch bored door prep?
Yes. The Newport uses the standard 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, which are the two backsets found on essentially every residential bored prep. If your old knob or lever came out of a door bored to that pattern, this goes back in the same hole with no drilling.
3) Do I have to order the Callan Newport entrance lever handed for a left or right door?
No handing to specify. The Newport is fully reversible in the field for either a left or right hand door, so one part number covers both swings. For a property manager stocking a few spares across a building, that means one box works on any opening rather than keeping lefts and rights on the shelf.
4) Can I get the Callan Newport keyed on a Schlage key instead of Kwikset?
Both keyways are orderable. The Newport entrance leverset ships with a 5 pin cylinder in either KW1 5-pin standard or SC1 5-pin, so it can be brought onto an existing Kwikset or Schlage key system. Keyway is a required selection on the order.
5) Can I key several Callan Newport entrance leversets alike so one key opens all of them?
Yes, keyed alike is a selectable option at order time, alongside keyed different. That is the setting a landlord or property manager wants when one key needs to open several unit or common doors. Pick the keyway first (KW1 or SC1), then the keying, since the sets have to share a keyway to share a key.
6) Is a Grade 3 lever like the Callan Newport good enough for an apartment building entry door?
The Newport meets BHMA Grade 3 and is built as a residential lockset, which suits unit doors and single-family rentals but not a high-traffic commercial or common entry. For a building entrance taking constant use, step up to a Grade 2 or Grade 1 commercial entry lever such as the Hager 2525 Grade 2 entrance lock or the Dexter C1000 Grade 1 entry/office lever, both of which cover the same 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door range on the Dexter and 1-3/8 to 2 inches on the Hager.
7) What is the closest equivalent to the Callan Newport 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 lockset with an Entrance function, the same grade and function as the Callan Newport entrance leverset. Both are lever-style keyed entry sets rather than knobs, so the Master Lock RL01 covers the same front, side, or back entrance door the Newport is used on.
8) What entrance lever should I use if the door is a commercial opening rather than a house?
The Callan Newport entrance leverset is a residential-rated Grade 3 set. For a commercial entrance the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle, and the Cal-Royal AUS00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office lever with a solid brass forged body. Both carry a keyed entrance-type function like the Newport.
9) Which entrance lever fits a door thicker than 1-3/4 inch?
The Callan Newport entrance leverset is built for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. For a thicker leaf, the Deltana 6201 Manchester, 6411 Morant, and 6431 Linstead entry levers each list a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range, and the Hager 2525 commercial entry lock lists 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch.
10) I want the tenant to be able to key in but the door to stay latched from outside at all times - what should I order?
That is storeroom function, not entrance function. The Callan Newport entrance leverset unlocks from the inside thumb turn, so the outside lever can be left free. For an always-locked outside lever, the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever lockset with a deadlocking latchbolt for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever.
11) Which keyed entrance lever is built for high-traffic institutional doors?
The Callan Newport meets BHMA Grade 3 requirements and is a residential set. Where the opening takes commercial or institutional traffic, the Dexter C1000 is a Grade 1 entry/office cylindrical lever lock with a clutching mechanism for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors - the same door thickness range the Newport covers - and the Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 medium duty entry/office lever.
12) I have a classroom door - is the Callan Newport entrance leverset the right function?
No. Entrance function locks and unlocks from the interior thumb turn, which is not what a classroom door needs. The Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever uses a 6-pin Schlage C keyway with a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Dexter C1000 classroom lever is Grade 1 clutching and keyed for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Dexter also lists a C1000 classroom security version, keyed on both sides.
13) Will a 1/2 inch throw latch catch my existing strike plate?
The Newport comes with a 1/2 inch throw latch and a round corner faceplate. That 1/2 inch throw is the standard bored-lock latch projection, so it seats into an ordinary residential strike. The thing to check is the faceplate, not the throw: if the door edge is mortised square corner, the round corner plate will not sit flush and you will need to square the mortise or use a square corner plate.
14) Does the Callan Newport entrance lever lock with a key from outside and a thumbturn inside?
That is exactly the function. Keyed entry, single cylinder: key on the exterior, thumbturn on the interior to lock or release the latch. It is the usual choice for a front, side, or back entry door. If you want an interior door that just latches with no lock, or one that locks for a bath or bedroom, this is the wrong function and you want a passage or privacy lever instead.
15) What finishes does the Callan Newport lever come in, and can I match it to darker bronze hardware already on the doors?
Four finishes, and both bronze tones are covered: US10B Oil Rubbed Bronze, US10BE Edged Bronze, US15 Satin Nickel, and US15A Antique Nickel. For a fleet of doors already running oil rubbed bronze, the US10B matches; the Edged Bronze is the highlighted variant with lighter wear edges rather than a uniform dark tone.
16) Is the Callan Newport lever ADA compliant for a rental unit?
Yes, the Newport meets Americans with Disabilities Act requirements. A lever is the operable shape ADA calls for, since it releases without tight grasping or wrist twisting, unlike a round knob. That matters on units and common doors where accessible operation is required.
17) What is the closest alternative to the Callan Newport if I need a Grade 3 keyed entry lever from another brand?
Two straight equivalents in the same class: the Master Lock RL Series RL01 return style keyed entry lever, Grade 3 entrance function, and the Cal-Royal AUS00 Grade 3 entrance/office lever, which carries a solid brass forged body and fits 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same thickness range as the Newport. The Cal-Royal is the one to look at if you want a brass body rather than zinc.
18) I need matching passage and privacy levers to go with a keyed entry lever on the same job. What pairs with the Callan Newport?
The Newport itself is the keyed entry function only, so the interior doors need separate locks. In the same Grade 3 residential class, Kwikset's Breton line covers both: the 200BRNL passage lever for halls and closets and the 300BRNL privacy lever for bed and bath, both Grade 3 and both fitting 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, same as the Newport. Trim style will not match exactly across brands, so decide whether that matters on the openings people see.
19) I do not need the door to lock - what is the non-keyed version of a lever like the Callan Newport?
The Newport is a keyed entry set with an interior thumb turn. For a hall or closet door that never locks, the Kwikset 200BRNL RDT Breton is a Grade 3 passage lever set, and the Bravura Atlanta, Orlando, and Tampa are Grade 2 passage leversets with round or square trim. Passage function means the lever always retracts the latch from both sides with no cylinder.
20) What lever do I use on the bedroom and bathroom doors instead of a keyed entrance lever?
A privacy set is the right part there - it locks from inside with a turn button and has no key cylinder. The Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton is a Grade 3 privacy lever set for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, matching the door thickness range the Callan Newport entrance leverset covers. The Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with 5048 rose is another privacy option.
21) Is a dummy lever the same thing as the Callan Newport entrance leverset?
No. A dummy lever is a fixed pull with no latch and no cylinder - it does not operate a door. The Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy comes handed left or right, the Emtek Arts and Crafts and Cortina dummy levers ship as pairs, and the BEST 7KC single dummy trim is a Grade 2 non-keyed dummy. The Callan Newport is a keyed entry set with a working latch and a 5 pin cylinder.
22) Can I get an entrance lever that opens with a code instead of a key?
The Callan Newport entrance leverset takes a KW1 or SC1 5-pin key. For keyless access, the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock, and the Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock listing a 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch door thickness range. The Lockey and Delaney units are code-entry, so they are not keyed to the same KW1 or SC1 system as the Newport.
23) I need a keyed entrance set that takes a Schlage C key - what are my options?
The Callan Newport entrance leverset can be ordered with an SC1 5-pin keyway. The Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever uses a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different with a 2-3/8 inch backset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Pin count differs between the two, which matters if the key system already in place is 5-pin.
24) Is there a knob version of a keyed entrance lock instead of a lever?
The Callan Newport is a lever set and meets ADA requirements. Where a knob is wanted instead, the Arrow HK11-BB is a turn-pushbutton entrance cylindrical lock with a ball knob and conventional cylinder, listing a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range - the same range the Newport covers. Note the Arrow uses a turn pushbutton rather than the Newport thumb turn.
25) How far does the Callan Newport lever stick out from the door face?
Projection is 2-3/8 inches off the face of the door. Worth knowing where a door swings back against a wall, a cabinet, or another leaf in a tight corridor, since that is what sets whether the lever contacts before the door is fully open.
26) Will I see the mounting screws on the Callan Newport lever rose?
Yes, screws are exposed on the Newport, not concealed. On a rental or back-of-house door that is a non-issue and it makes servicing quicker. If the look matters on a front entry, a decorative brass leverset like the Deltana 6201 Manchester entry lever is a different class of trim; the Newport is a zinc lockset built for straightforward one-person install.
