Callan G2KS1021 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Callan Sawyer privacy knob fit a 1-3/8 inch interior door, or does it need a 1-3/4?
Both work. The Sawyer privacy knobset covers 1-3/8 inch through 1-3/4 inch doors, which spans the common older interior slab and the standard commercial thickness. Nothing extra to order for either.
2) Does the Callan Sawyer knobset drop into an existing 2-1/8 inch bored door prep?
It does, provided the prep is standard. The Sawyer uses a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and a 1 inch edge bore, and the latch backset adjusts between 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inches, so it lands on either of the two usual backsets without redrilling the door. That covers most existing knob preps on residential and light commercial openings.
3) Do I have to order a left hand or right hand version of the Callan Sawyer privacy knob?
No handing to specify. The Sawyer privacy knobset is fully reversible and works on a left or right hand door out of the same box, so a property manager buying a dozen for a building only has one part to stock.
4) Will this Callan privacy knob latch into the strike plate that's already in my door frame?
Most likely yes on a residential frame. The Sawyer ships with a 1/2 inch latch throw and a round corner latch faceplate, which is the standard residential combination. If the existing strike is a square corner or a full lip strike, swap the strike rather than the lock.
5) How does the privacy lock on the Callan Sawyer unlock from the outside in an emergency?
There's a small pin hole in the center of the exterior knob. Push a straightened pin or emergency key through it and the interior lock releases. The locking button itself is on the inside knob only. That's what makes it right for bedrooms and bathrooms and wrong for an exterior door, since there's no key cylinder for outside security.
6) What is the closest equivalent to the Callan Sawyer privacy knobset from another brand?
The Dexter C2000 Series privacy cylindrical ball knob lock is the nearest match. Both are Grade 2 privacy/bed/bath knob locks, and both fit doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. The Dexter is described as a non-clutching ball knob and is non-keyed; the Sawyer is a zinc knobset 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, so the door prep is the standard bored prep on either. Handing is not a factor on the Sawyer since it is fully reversible left or right.
7) I need the same knob on a hall or closet door where nothing should lock - what do I order instead of a privacy knobset?
Order a passage function knob instead. The Callan Sawyer is privacy function, with an interior locking mechanism and an emergency pin hole on the exterior, which is not what a hall or closet door wants. Grade 2 passage knob locks that fit the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door range include the Dexter C2000 passage ball knob lock and the Corbin Russwin CK4410 Global knob, both non-keyed. The Arrow MK01 and the Arrow RK01 are also Grade 2 non-keyed passage knobs for that same door thickness range, the RK01 with a ball knob.
8) The door needs a key, not a bathroom lock - what takes the place of the Callan Sawyer knobset?
A privacy knob has no cylinder for outside key access; the Sawyer unlocks from the outside only through a small pin hole. For a keyed opening, the Dexter C2000 entry/office ball knob lock is Grade 2, keyed, and fits 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Corbin Russwin CK4851 entrance/office Global knob uses a conventional cylinder and covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. If the Kwikset KW1 keyway matters, the Cal-Royal BER00 entrance/office knob lock is built with a Kwikset keyway and fits 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors - the Sawyer's own cylinder spec is 5 pin KW1, so keys stay in the same family across the building.
9) What privacy knob should I use on a door thicker than 1-3/4 inches?
The Callan Sawyer covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. For a thicker leaf, the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas knob in privacy function is a privacy/bed/bath knob rated for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. Confirm the actual door thickness at the bore before ordering, since a thick-door prep will not accept a spindle sized for a 1-3/4 inch maximum.
10) Should I use a privacy knob or a passage knob on a bathroom door?
Privacy, if the door needs to lock. A passage knob (like the Bravura Albany or the Dexter C2000 passage) just latches, with no locking at all, and belongs on halls and closets. The Callan Sawyer is the privacy version: interior locking button, exterior emergency pin hole, no key. If you want a keyed lock instead, a privacy knob is the wrong function entirely.
11) Is the Callan Sawyer knobset good enough for apartment turns and rental units?
It meets BHMA security Grade 2 requirements and is built from zinc, which puts it a tier above the Grade 3 residential knobs common in that market. Callan classifies it residential, so it suits multifamily bedrooms and baths rather than a school corridor or a hospital wing. For a heavier commercial run, step up to a Grade 1 cylindrical like the Schlage D Series.
12) What other Grade 2 privacy knobs could I use instead of the Callan Sawyer?
The closest equivalent we carry is the Dexter C2000 privacy ball knob, also Grade 2 and rated for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, so it drops into the same prep. Going down a tier, the Pamex FTF Baron and the Cal-Royal BER20 are both Grade 3 privacy knobs across the same door thickness range. On the decorative end, the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors and the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage is a privacy knob on an R027 rose.
13) Can I key the Callan Sawyer privacy knob to match the rest of my Kwikset doors?
No, and it doesn't need to be. A privacy knob has no key cylinder in it at all, just an interior button and an exterior pin hole. To key an opening into a Kwikset KW1 system, you want an entry or entrance function instead, such as the Kwikset 400P Polo keyed entry knob or the Cal-Royal BER00, which uses a Kwikset keyway.
14) Is there a lower-grade privacy knob that fits the same door prep as the Callan Sawyer?
Two Grade 3 privacy knob locks cover the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range as the Sawyer: the Cal-Royal BER20 privacy knob lock with brass trim, and the Pamex FTF Baron knob lockset in privacy function. Both are privacy/bed/bath function like the Sawyer. The difference is the BHMA grade - the Sawyer meets Grade 2 requirements, while the BER20 and the FTF Baron are Grade 3.
15) Will a dummy knob work in place of the Callan Sawyer privacy knobset?
No. A dummy knob is fixed trim with no latch and no locking mechanism, so it cannot secure a bath or bedroom door the way the Sawyer's privacy function does. Dummy knobs such as the Schlage A170 single dummy trim, the BEST 6K Series single dummy trim, the Bravura Biloxi round trim dummy knobset and the Cal-Royal BA40 dummy knob are for inactive leaves and closet faces. Order a dummy only for a door that never latches.
16) The Callan Sawyer is marked residential - what is the commercial-duty alternative for a knob lock?
The Sawyer is a residential Grade 2 knobset. For heavier commercial traffic, Grade 1 cylindrical knob locks include the Schlage D10S passage latch with Orbit knob, listed as heavy duty, the Falcon X101 heavy duty passage knobset with interchangeable core covering 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors and carrying a fire rating, the BEST 8K Series entrance function single cylinder knob lock, heavy duty, and the Sargent 8XG04 storeroom/closet knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset. Note that these are passage, entrance and storeroom functions rather than privacy, so match the function to the opening before substituting.
17) What other privacy knobs are available if the Sawyer style does not suit the decor?
Privacy function knobs in other styles include the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose, the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore 2 inch knob with 5148 rose in privacy with a 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike, and the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas knob in privacy. The Sawyer itself comes in five finishes - US15 satin nickel, US3 bright brass, US19 black, US5 antique brass and US10BE edged bronze - so the finish match may already be covered before changing families.
18) Does the Callan Sawyer privacy knobset carry a fire rating for a rated door assembly?
For a rated opening, specify a knob lock that states a fire rating. Among knob locks, the Falcon W101 Grade 2 cylindrical knob lock in passage/closet latch function with a 2-3/4 inch backset carries a fire rating and is medium duty, and the Falcon X101 Grade 1 heavy duty passage knobset with interchangeable core is also fire rated across 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. Both are passage function, so a rated bedroom or bath door needs the function confirmed against the code requirement for the facility.
19) I need to outfit a whole unit with matching knobs - is there a combo pack that includes the other functions?
The Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob is sold as a combo pack with adjustable backsets and dual strikes, covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. That is the same door thickness range the Callan Sawyer handles, and the Sawyer likewise ships with an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset, so a mixed order of Sawyer privacy sets alongside the passage and entry functions will prep identically on standard bored doors.
20) What is the difference between the Callan Sawyer and a classroom or storeroom function knob lock?
Function is the difference, and it decides where each one belongs. The Sawyer is privacy function for bedroom and bathroom doors, locked from the interior. A classroom function unit such as the Dexter C2000 classroom ball knob lock is Grade 2, keyed, and fits 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. A storeroom function unit such as the Sargent 6G04 Grade 2 storeroom/closet knob lock uses a single cylinder and is standard duty. Those are keyed control functions for spaces staff manage; they are not interchangeable with a privacy set.
21) How far does the Callan Sawyer knob stick out from the door face?
Projection is 2-5/8 inches. That matters where a door swings back against a wall or a vanity, or where two doors in a corner could clash. For comparison, the Omnia 434/PA knob latchset projects 3 inches.
22) What finishes does the Callan Sawyer privacy knobset come in?
Five: US15 Satin Nickel, US3 Bright Brass, US5 Antique Brass, US10BE Edged Bronze, and US19 Black. If you're matching existing openings in a building, US15 and US3 are the two that most commonly pair with older residential hardware already in place.
23) Are the mounting screws on the Callan Sawyer knob visible from the inside?
Yes, the Sawyer uses exposed screws on the interior rose rather than a concealed-screw rose. It's a one person install, and the visible fasteners are what make servicing it quick later. If you want a clean rose face with no fasteners showing, this is not that trim.
24) Is a keyless combination knob lock a substitute for a privacy knobset?
No. The Lockey 3830 mechanical keyless combination knob lock is an auto-locking passage function unit for 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch doors - it controls entry by code rather than providing the interior thumb-turn privacy and outside emergency pin hole a bath or bedroom door needs. The Callan Sawyer is privacy function, locked from the inside and released from the outside through that pin hole.
