Callan ST5101 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Callan Silona entrance leverset fit my existing door prep?
The Silona entrance leverset drops into a standard residential prep: 2-1/8 inch cross bore, 1 inch edge bore, and an adjustable latch that sets to either 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset. Door thickness range is 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, so it covers both a standard 1-3/4 inch entry door and an older 1-3/8 inch door. If your door is bored for a knob or lever already, no new drilling is needed.
2) Do I have to order a left hand or right hand Callan Silona lever?
No handing to specify. The Silona lever is fully reversible in the field, so the same lockset works on a left or right hand door. One person can install it, and you can stock a single part for a building where the doors swing both ways.
3) Can I get the Callan Silona keyed alike with my other Kwikset or Schlage locks?
Keying is an ordering choice on the Silona. You pick the keyway first, either KW1 5-pin (the Kwikset keyway) or SC1 5-pin (the Schlage keyway), then choose keyed different or keyed alike. Keyed alike puts every lock in the order on one key, which is how you'd set up a house or a unit with a front, side and back door on the same key. To match locks you already own, order the keyway your current keys are cut on.
4) Is a Grade 3 lever like the Callan Silona good enough for an apartment or rental unit?
Grade 3 is the residential duty level, and the Silona is built to it in zinc. For a single-family rental, a condo unit door or a homeowner's entry it's the right class of hardware. For a commercial opening that gets hundreds of cycles a day, a corridor door or anything under a facility standard, step up to a Grade 2 or Grade 1 cylindrical entrance lock. The Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with a lever, and the Dexter C1000 entry/office is Grade 1, both covering 1-3/8 to 2 and 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors respectively.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the Callan Silona Grade 3 entrance leverset from another brand?
The Master Lock BC Series RL01 is the nearest match on the same terms: it is a Grade 3 keyed entry leverset with an entrance function, the same grade and same function as the Callan Silona ST5101 entrance leverset. Both are keyed lever sets intended for an exterior or interior door where the outside is keyed. The Callan Silona uses a 5 pin KW1 cylinder with adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, so if you are matching an existing bore and door thickness those are the numbers to check against whatever you cross to.
6) I need a keyed entrance lever that takes a Schlage C keyway instead of Kwikset - what should I order?
The Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever is built around a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different with a 2-3/8 inch backset, and it fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the same door thickness range as the Callan Silona ST5101 entrance leverset. The Callan Silona is a 5 pin cylinder and is ordered with a keyway choice of KW1 5-pin standard or SC1 5-pin, so if your building is already on Schlage C specifically, the Cal-Royal AG00 is the one that lands on that keyway natively.
7) The Callan Silona is rated residential - what is the commercial equivalent for a keyed entry lever?
Step up to a Grade 2 commercial entry lever. The Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle and covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical lever with entry/office function. Cal-Royal also lists the AUS00 entrance/office lever as Grade 3 with a solid brass forged body and a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range. The Callan Silona ST5101 is a Grade 3 zinc entrance leverset rated residential, so for a leased commercial corridor or a high-cycle tenant entry the Grade 2 options are the ones written to that duty.
8) Can I use a storeroom or classroom lever in place of the Callan Silona entrance leverset?
They are different functions and will not behave the same. The Callan Silona ST5101 is a keyed entry single cylinder lever, keyed outside with an inside thumbturn that locks and unlocks the latch. A storeroom lever such as the Cal-Royal AG05, a Grade 2 storeroom lockset with a deadlocking latchbolt, or the Hager 2580 Grade 2 storeroom lever, keeps the outside lever locked at all times and requires the key on every entry - there is no inside thumbturn to leave it unlocked for the day. A classroom lever such as the Cal-Royal AG03 with a 2-3/4 inch backset, or the Dexter C1000 classroom lever, is locked and unlocked by key from the outside only. If the occupant needs to lock the door from inside without a key, entrance function is the one to hold.
9) The opening needs a fire rated lever - is the Callan Silona the right pick?
For an opening where the fire rating governs, look to a peer that carries one. The Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant cylindrical lever with a fire rating, covering 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical lock with a fire rating covering 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Both are passage function, so for a keyed fire door you would pair the rating requirement with an entrance or storeroom function from the same commercial families. The Callan Silona ST5101 is a Grade 3 residential entrance leverset - the right tool for an apartment or house entry door, not the one to hand a fire door inspector.
10) I have Kwikset locks throughout the building already - does the Callan Silona keep me on one key?
It can. The Callan Silona ST5101 is ordered with a keyway selection of KW1 5-pin standard or SC1 5-pin, plus a keying selection of keyed different or keyed alike, so a KW1 order keys into an existing Kwikset KW1 system. If you also need matching passage and privacy levers on the interior doors of the same units, Kwikset lists the 200BRNL RDT Breton passage and 300BRNL RDT Breton privacy as Grade 3 at 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the 200DL Delta passage lever comes with an adjustable 6AL latch and RCS strike. The Callan Silona uses a round corner latch faceplate, so check that against the prep you already have.
11) What does keyed entry single cylinder actually mean on this Callan lever?
On the Silona, the outside lever is keyed and the inside has a thumb turn. You unlock from outside with the key, and from inside you just twist the turn, no key needed. That's the normal setup for a front, side or back entrance door. If you need a lock nobody can key at all, look at a passage or privacy lever instead.
12) Does the Callan Silona lever meet ADA requirements?
Yes. The Silona meets the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. The lever is 4-1/8 inches long, so it operates with a closed fist or a forearm, which is the point of a lever over a knob on an accessible opening.
13) What's a comparable Grade 3 keyed entry lever if the Callan Silona isn't the style I want?
Two straight equivalents in the same class: the Cal-Royal AUS00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office lever with a solid brass forged body covering 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Master Lock BC Series RL01 is a Grade 3 return style keyed entry lever. Both are keyed entry at the same residential duty level as the Silona, which is zinc rather than forged brass. The Kwikset 200BRNL Breton is Grade 3 on the same 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door range but it's passage function, so it takes no key at all.
14) I want the same Silona lever look on my interior doors that don't need a key. What do I order?
The Silona entrance leverset is keyed only, single cylinder with an interior thumb turn. For hall and closet doors you want a passage lever, and for a bedroom or bath you want privacy. Kwikset's 200BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 passage lever and the 300BRNL Breton is the matching Grade 3 privacy, both on the same 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door range as the Silona. Bravura's Miramar, Atlanta, Orlando and Tampa passage leversets are Grade 2 options if you want to step the interior hardware up.
15) I do not need the door keyed - what is the non-keyed version of a lever like the Callan Silona?
The Callan Silona ST5101 is a keyed entry single cylinder function, so for a hall or closet door you want a passage lever instead. At the same grade, the Kwikset 200BRNL RDT Breton passage lever is Grade 3 and fits 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same thickness range as the Callan Silona. Bravura lists Grade 2 passage leversets in the Atlanta, Orlando and Tampa trims, and the Tampa carries square trim where the Atlanta and Orlando are round. For a bed or bath door needing a thumbturn but no key, the Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton is the Grade 3 privacy version at the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch range.
16) What is the difference between the Callan Silona entrance leverset and a dummy lever that looks the same?
A dummy lever has no latch and no mechanism at all - it is fixed trim that mounts to the face of the door for pulling. The Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy comes handed as a left hand or right hand unit, and Emtek sells its Arts and Crafts, Hammered and Cortina levers as dummy pairs. The Accentra 455LN Augusta and the BEST 9K Series 1DT are Grade 1 single dummy trims. None of these will latch or lock a door. The Callan Silona ST5101 is a working keyed entry lever with a 1/2 inch throw latch and adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset, cut into a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and 1 inch edge bore. Order a dummy only for an inactive leaf or a closet door you want to look matched.
17) We want to stop issuing keys to tenants - what keyless lever replaces the Callan Silona on the same door?
Two directions, both cylindrical lever sets. The Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock, the same grade family you would spec for a light commercial entry, and Emtek offers a Classic keypad leverset. For a battery-free option, the Lockey 1150 heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination covers doors 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Lockey 1150S adds an adjustable backset over the same 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch range - both wider than the Callan Silona ST5101 range of 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, so they will also carry over to thicker doors in the same building. Note the Lockey 1150 and 2835 units are passage function, so they release the latch by code with no key override.
18) Is there a knob version of the Callan Silona entrance function, and can I use a knob instead?
The Arrow HK11-BB is a 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 thickness range as the Callan Silona ST5101 entrance leverset. The functional caution is accessibility: the Callan Silona is a lever built to meet Americans with Disabilities Act requirements, and a round ball knob is not an ADA-compliant operator. On an accessible route, a public entrance, or any opening your facility spec holds to ADA, keep the lever.
19) What is a heavier duty entrance lever than the Callan Silona for a high traffic tenant door?
The Dexter C1000 Series entry/office lever is Grade 1 with a clutching keyed design, covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors - the same door thickness range as the Callan Silona ST5101, so it drops into the same openings. The clutch means the outside lever spins free when locked rather than transmitting force into the mechanism, which is the behavior that matters on a door people yank. The Callan Silona is a Grade 3 zinc leverset with fully reversible handing and a 1/2 inch throw latch; the Dexter is the step up in grade for the same entry function.
20) What finishes does the Callan Silona entrance leverset come in?
Four finishes: US15 Satin Nickel, US26 Polished Chrome, US10BE Edged Bronze, and AS Antique Silver. If you're matching other openings in a house or a unit, US15 and US26 are the common brushed and bright silver tones, and US10BE is the dark oil-rubbed-style bronze look.
21) Are the mounting screws on the Callan Silona hidden or exposed?
Exposed. The Silona rose is not a concealed screw design, so the two mounting screws show on the interior side. That's normal for a Grade 3 residential lever and it makes install and later removal straightforward. If exposed fasteners are a problem on a visible interior opening, a decorative line like the Baldwin Estate 5103 with the 5048 rose is the direction to look.
