Callan KS1021 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Callan Saxon privacy knob fit a 1-3/8 inch interior door with a standard 2-1/8 inch bore?
Yes. The Saxon privacy knobset covers doors from 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick and drops into the standard residential prep: 2-1/8 inch cross bore and a 1 inch edge bore. If the existing door was bored for a common knob lock, no new boring is needed.
2) Does the Saxon knobset work with a 2-3/8 inch backset, or do I need to order a 2-3/4 version?
One part covers both. The latch is adjustable to 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, so you set it on site rather than measuring first and ordering a specific version. That is the practical difference from something like the Baldwin 5000 Baltimore privacy knob, which is preconfigured at a 2-3/8 inch backset.
3) Do I have to specify left or right hand when ordering a Callan Saxon privacy knob?
No handing to call out. The Saxon privacy knob is fully reversible for left or right hand doors, so the same box works on either swing. For a property manager buying a dozen at once, that means one part number for every bedroom and bath door in the building regardless of how they hang.
4) Will the Saxon privacy latch drop into my existing strike plate?
It ships with a 1/2 inch throw latch and a round corner faceplate. A 1/2 inch throw is the standard residential bored-lock throw, so it will engage a strike already set for a knob lock. Where it can bite you is the faceplate: if the door edge is mortised square corner, the round corner faceplate leaves a gap and the mortise needs squaring off or the plate swapping.
5) How does a privacy knob lock actually work on a bathroom door, and can I get in if someone locks themselves in?
The inside knob has the locking mechanism (a push or turn button), and the outside face carries a small pin hole. Push an emergency key or a straightened wire into that hole and the lock releases from the corridor side. That is what makes it right for bedroom and bath doors: privacy while occupied, but no one gets shut in.
6) Is a Grade 3 knobset good enough for an apartment building or should I go Grade 2?
The Saxon is Grade 3 and rated residential, which suits in-unit bedroom and bathroom doors where traffic is per-apartment rather than public. For corridor, office, or common-area openings taking constant use, step up: the Dexter C2000 privacy knob is Grade 2, and Corbin Russwin's CK4300 Series is Grade 1 for the heaviest traffic. Grade 3 is the entry level of the BHMA scale, Grade 1 the highest.
7) Will the Saxon privacy knob work on a 2 inch thick solid core door?
No. The Saxon tops out at 1-3/4 inches, which is the standard commercial door thickness and covers most residential doors. For anything thicker, look at the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob, rated to 2 inches, or, for a passage opening, the Corbin Russwin CK4310, also rated to 2 inches.
8) The door needs a key, not a thumbturn. What knob do I order instead of a privacy set?
A keyed function is the substitute. The Cal-Royal BER00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office knob lock with a Kwikset keyway for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, which keys to the same KW1 family the Saxon privacy knobset's cylinder uses. The Pamex FTF Baron entrance/office knob lockset is also Grade 3 over that thickness range, and the Kwikset 400P-CP keyed entry knob is Grade 3 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
9) Which privacy knob holds up better on a high-traffic bathroom or a commercial corridor than a Grade 3 knobset?
The Dexter C2000 Series privacy cylindrical ball knob lock is a Grade 2 privacy knob for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, one grade step above the Grade 3 Saxon privacy knobset, which is a residential product. Both are non-keyed privacy function for bed and bath openings.
10) The bedroom door does not need to lock, only latch. What knob replaces a privacy set on a hall or closet door?
Passage function is the one to order there. The Pamex FTF Baron passage knob lockset is Grade 3 for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, matching the Saxon privacy knobset's grade and thickness range with a passage rather than privacy function. The Dexter C2000 Series passage ball knob lock covers the same openings at Grade 2, and the Kwikset 200P Polo passage knob ships with a 6AL latch and RCS round corner strike.
11) Is a dummy knob the same thing as a privacy knob?
No. A dummy knob is fixed trim with no latch and no locking mechanism, so it cannot secure a bathroom or bedroom door. The Saxon privacy knobset has an interior locking mechanism with an exterior pin hole for emergency unlocking. If the opening is a closet or an inactive leaf that only needs a pull, the Schlage A170 single dummy trim is a Grade 2 non-keyed dummy knob for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch, and the Cal-Royal BA40 Barrington dummy knob covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
12) The door is thicker than 1-3/4 inch. What privacy knob fits it?
The Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick in privacy/bed/bath function, so it reaches openings above the Saxon privacy knobset's 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch range. For thicker doors in a keyed or entry function, the Deltana 3381 Egg knob and 6171 Round knob entry sets also cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch.
13) Should I use a privacy knob or a keyed entry knob on bedroom and bathroom doors?
Privacy is the right function for bed and bath. It locks from inside only and has no key cylinder, so there are no keys to cut, issue, or lose across a building. Use a keyed function only where you need to control access from outside the room, such as an entrance or office door, and use a passage set where nothing needs to lock at all.
14) How much does the Saxon knob stick out from the door face, and will it clear a door that swings against a wall?
Projection is 2-3/8 inches from the door face. That is the number to check against a door that opens hard against a wall or against furniture placed behind it, and against any wall stop you already have set. By comparison, the Omnia 434/PA knob latchset projects 3 inches, so the Saxon sits noticeably tighter to the door.
15) What finishes does the Callan Saxon privacy knob come in?
Nine finishes, so it can be matched to whatever is already hanging in the building: US3 bright brass, US5 antique brass, US10B oil rubbed bronze, US10BE edged bronze, US15 satin nickel, US15A antique nickel, US19 black, US26 polished chrome, and AS antique silver. Ordering the same US number across a property keeps knobs, hinges, and stops consistent.
16) What is the closest alternative to the Callan Saxon privacy knobset if I need the same function in a different look?
Staying at Grade 3, the Pamex FTF Baron privacy knob and the Cal-Royal BER20 are the direct counterparts, both privacy function and both covering 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. For a heavier duty swap in the same opening, the Dexter C2000 privacy ball knob is Grade 2 across the same thickness range. For a decorative solid-look option, the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors.
17) I need matching knobs on a closet and an entry door as well as the bathroom. Does the Saxon privacy set cover those?
No. The privacy version locks from inside and has no key cylinder, so it is wrong for a closet or hall door (use a passage set, which never locks) and wrong for an exterior or office door (use a keyed entrance set). Within the same Grade 3 residential tier, the Pamex FTF Baron comes as passage and as entrance/office, and Cal-Royal's BER00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office knob, so you can carry one look across functions.
18) Can I key the Callan Saxon into my Kwikset master key system?
Not on the privacy version. A privacy knob locks from inside with a button and releases through an emergency pin hole, so there is nothing to key. If you need Kwikset KW1 keying on the same door, order a keyed function instead: the Cal-Royal BER00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office knob lock built around the Kwikset keyway.
19) I am matching a set of decorative interior knobs, not a plain zinc knob. What privacy knobs come in a decorative style?
The Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose and the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore knob with 5148 rose are privacy-function decorative knobs; the Baltimore set is preconfigured with a 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike. The Saxon privacy knobset is zinc with a round corner latch faceplate and an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset.
20) Does a Grade 3 privacy knob meet a commercial spec calling for a fire-rated lock?
The Saxon privacy knobset is a Grade 3 residential knobset. Where the drawing calls for a fire-rated cylindrical knob lock, the Falcon W101 is a Grade 2 medium duty passage/closet knob lock with a fire rating and a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage knobset with a fire rating, an interchangeable core and a 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range. Both are passage rather than privacy function.
21) I am standardizing bedroom, bath, hall and closet doors in one building on a single knob line. What covers all of it?
The Pamex FTF Baron line runs across functions at Grade 3 for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch: privacy, passage, and entrance/office all share that grade and thickness range. The Callan Saxon privacy knobset covers the bed and bath openings at Grade 3 for the same door thickness, with a reversible latch and an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset.
22) A classroom or storeroom door needs a knob that locks from outside with a key but never locks a person in. What replaces a privacy knob there?
Privacy function is the wrong function for those openings. 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 function, the Dexter C2000 Series classroom ball knob lock is Grade 2 and keyed, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch.
23) What is the difference between the Callan Saxon privacy knobset and the Delaney Belton or Galway knobsets?
All three are Grade 3 knobsets, but the function differs: the Delaney Belton and Delaney Galway are entrance function, which is keyed, while the Saxon is privacy function with an interior lock and an exterior pin hole for bed and bath doors. The Delaney Olivia is a third Grade 3 entrance knobset in that group.
24) Does a Corbin Russwin or Schlage cylindrical knob cross-reference to a Callan Saxon privacy knobset?
Not as a like-for-like swap. The Corbin Russwin CK4310 Global knob is a Grade 1 passage/closet lock for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch and the CK4410 is the Grade 2 passage version for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch; the Schlage D10S Orbit knob is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage latch. All three are passage function with no locking mechanism, where the Saxon is privacy function with an interior lock and exterior pin hole release.
25) What is the Callan Saxon privacy knob made of, and are the screws visible?
Zinc construction, and the mounting screws are exposed rather than concealed. Exposed screws mean you can pull and service the knob without a spanner tool or a hidden catch, which matters when a maintenance tech is swapping units on turnover. If a screwless look is the priority on a finish-sensitive job, that is a reason to look elsewhere.
26) Can one person install the Saxon knobset, or do I need a second set of hands?
It is built for a one person install, and the adjustable backset means you don't have to confirm 2-3/8 versus 2-3/4 before you get to the door. Combined with reversible handing, a maintenance tech can carry one part number down a corridor and fit every bedroom and bath opening without going back to the truck.
27) I need the front door and the interior doors done at once. Is there a combo instead of separate knobsets?
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, the same door thickness the Saxon privacy knobset covers with its adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset. The Saxon is a single privacy function set rather than a combo.
28) Is there a keyless option instead of a privacy knob for a door people share?
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 opens on a code rather than the interior thumb lock and exterior pin hole release the Saxon privacy knobset uses, and it reaches thicker doors than the Saxon's 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch range.
