Corbin Russwin CL3161-KEYED Grade 1 Entrance/Office Cylindrical Lever Lock with Vandal Resistance and T-Zone Construction

Patented Grade 1 Cylindrical Lever Lock Engineered for High-Traffic Commercial Applications

The Corbin Russwin CL3161-KEYED is a patented Grade 1 cylindrical lever lock from the CL3100 Series, designed to deliver exceptional strength, durability, and quiet operation for demanding commercial environments. Featuring ANSI function F82A (Entrance/Office), this keyed lockset operates with a deadlocking latchbolt controlled by lever from either side, except when the push button locks the outside lever. Compatible with door thicknesses of 1-3/4" to 2" and a standard 2-3/4" backset, the CL3161-KEYED is built on a non-handed platform that retrofits most standard 161 cylindrical lock door preparations. The unique T-Zone construction interlocks the aligning and latch tubes to form a rugged torque-resistant “T” in the critical twist area, providing strength and durability far exceeding ANSI/BHMA A156.2 Series 4000 Grade 1 standards.

Corbin Russwin CL3161 NZD 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Corbin Russwin CL3161 fit a 1-3/4 inch commercial door?
Yes. The CL3161 cylindrical lever lock is built for doors 1-3/4 inches to 2 inches thick with a 2-3/4 inch backset, so a standard 1-3/4 inch commercial door is right in range. It will not work on a thinner 1-3/8 inch door, which is the common older interior thickness, and it will not drop into a 2-3/8 inch backset prep. If your doors are 1-3/8 inch, look at something like the Dexter C1000 Entry/Office lever, which covers 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch.
2) Can I put a CL3161 lever into the existing holes where an old cylindrical lock was?
In most cases yes. The CL3161 retrofits standard 161 cylindrical lock door preparation, which is the common bored prep on commercial doors, and it ships with a square corner deadlatch measuring 2-1/4 x 1-1/8 inches on a 2-3/4 inch backset. Check that your existing latch face is square corner and that the bore is on a 2-3/4 inch backset rather than 2-3/8. The strike supplied is an ANSI curved lip with a 1-1/4 inch lip length, so if your frame already has an ANSI strike cutout the frame side is covered too.
3) Do I have to specify handing when ordering a CL3161 lever lock?
No handing to specify. The CL3161 is non-handed, so one part number covers left and right hand openings and inswing or outswing. For a property manager stocking spares across a building, that means a single lock on the shelf fits any door in the run, and there is no wrong-hand return to deal with.
4) How does the entrance/office push button function on the CL3161 actually work day to day?
Push button locking, and it stays locked until someone deliberately releases it. The deadlocking latchbolt is operated by the lever from either side except when the push button on the inside locks the outside lever. That button is released by turning the inside lever or by key in the outside lever. Closing the door does NOT release the button, so an office can be left secured and stay secured through the day. The inside lever is always free, so egress is never blocked. That is ANSI function F82A.
5) Can the CL3161 be keyed into our existing Corbin Russwin master key system, or take a small format core?
Both paths are open. The standard build is a conventional 6-pin cylinder in the L4 keyway, which integrates into most existing facility key systems and comes with two nickel silver keys. If you run interchangeable cores, order CL6 for less core LFIC 6-pin or CL7 for less core LFIC 7-pin and drop in your own Corbin Russwin cores. Order LC to receive it less conventional cylinder if your locksmith is supplying the cylinder. On the order you also pick KD keyed different or KA keyed alike, and the lock accepts Schlage LFIC as well.
6) What is the closest Grade 1 entrance/office cylindrical lever lock to the Corbin Russwin CL3161?
The Dexter C1000 Series entry/office cylindrical lever lock is the nearest peer: it is a Grade 1 keyed cylindrical lever in the Entrance/Office function, the same function the CL3161 carries. The difference that matters on the opening is door thickness - the CL3161 covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, while the Dexter C1000 entry/office is listed for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. On a 2 inch door the CL3161 is the one that fits; on a 1-3/8 inch door the Dexter is.
7) The classroom doors need a key-in-lever that stays locked - what replaces a CL3161 there?
The CL3161 is an Entrance/Office lock: the outside lever is locked by a push button and released by turning the inside lever or by key. For a classroom opening, the Dexter C1000 Series classroom cylindrical lever lock is a Grade 1 keyed clutching lever in the Classroom function, and the Dexter C1000 classroom security version adds the Classroom Security function. Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt if the door should stay locked at all times.
8) Can a Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever be used in place of a Corbin Russwin CL3161?
Only if the door prep matches. The CL3161 uses a 2-3/4 inch backset with a 2-1/4 inch by 1-1/8 inch square corner deadlatch, and covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. The Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever is a Grade 2 with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway and a 2-3/8 inch backset, for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The backset and the keyway both differ, so it is not a drop-in on a 2-3/4 inch prep or into an L4 keyed system. Cal-Royal's AG03 classroom lever in the same AG Series is the 2-3/4 inch backset version.
9) Which lever locks look like a CL3161 substitute but will not do the same job?
Several levers that photograph the same are not keyed locks. The Accentra 5301LN and 4601LN Augusta levers are Grade 2 passage, the Arrow GL01 is a Grade 2 passage lever, and the Baldwin Estate 5103 comes in passage, privacy and handed half dummy versions - none of those secure the opening the way the CL3161's keyed Entrance/Office function does. The Arrow MK02-TA is a privacy knob, not a lever, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a single dummy. Also note handing: the CL3161 is non-handed, while the Baldwin 5103 half dummy is ordered left hand or right hand.
10) Is a Grade 1 lever lock worth it over a Grade 2 for a busy building entrance?
For an opening that gets hit hundreds of times a day, yes. The CL3161 is ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 and uses T-Zone construction that interlocks the aligning and latch tubes into a torque resistant T in the area where a lever gets twisted and hung on, tested past 15 million cycles. That is the failure mode on abused entrance doors. A Grade 2 entrance lever such as the Falcon B511CP6D or the Hager 2525 is a lower duty answer for interior offices and lighter traffic. Grade 3 products like the Cal-Royal AUS00 are residential grade duty.
11) Can I use the CL3161 on a fire rated door?
The CL3161 carries a fire rating, so it can go on a labeled opening. It is a keyed entrance/office lock with a deadlocking latchbolt and a free inside lever at all times, which is what a fire door needs on the egress side. Confirm the door label and the frame prep match what your AHJ requires for that opening.
12) What lever and rose choices do I have to match the CL3161 to the rest of the building?
Three lever designs, four roses, twelve finishes. Levers are AZ Armstrong, NZ Newport and PZ Princeton. Roses are the D rose at 3-1/2 inch diameter (the standard), the C rose at 2-3/4 inch diameter, the K rose at 2-3/4 inch diameter, and the E rose at 3-1/8 inch square. Finishes run 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 611 bright bronze, 612 satin bronze, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 618 bright nickel, 619 satin nickel, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, 722 black oxidized bronze oil-rubbed, BSP black suede and WSP white suede powder coat. If you are covering an old larger rose footprint, the 3-1/2 inch D rose gives you the most coverage.
13) I need a matching dummy or passage lever to go with keyed entrance levers on the same suite. What pairs with a CL3161?
The CL3161 itself is keyed only, single cylinder, so it does not cover the closet or inactive leaf doors in the same suite. For those, non-keyed Grade 1 options ZenSupply carries include the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy lever trim, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lever (1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch doors, fire rated) and the Falcon T101 Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever. They are different manufacturers, so the lever shape will not match the Armstrong, Newport or Princeton designs exactly; if visual match matters, stay within the Corbin Russwin CL3100 Series for the non-keyed functions.
14) What do I order for the doors on the same run that do not need to lock?
Keep the CL3161 on the keyed openings and use a non-keyed lever elsewhere. Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage cylindrical lock with non-handed levers, fire rated, for 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors; Falcon T101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever. For a door leaf that only needs a pull, BEST 9K Series 1DT is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy trim lever. A dummy has no latch at all, so it does not hold a door closed.
15) What is the alternative if we want keyless entry on the same door instead of a keyed lever?
The CL3161 takes a conventional 6-pin L4 keyway cylinder and includes keys. If the door should open on a code instead, the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock is ADA compliant and fits 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Lockey 2835DC adds a second combination; the Lockey 1150S is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever with an adjustable backset for 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors. Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock. Keyless units will not join the facility key system the CL3161 keys into.
16) We key everything on Schlage C - does that rule out the Corbin Russwin CL3161?
The CL3161 ships with a conventional 6-pin cylinder in the L4 keyway and can also be ordered less cylinder or less core for a Corbin Russwin LFIC 6-pin or 7-pin core. If the facility standard is Schlage C, the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever and AG03 classroom lever come with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway, and the Arrow MK33-BD-CS asylum lock uses a conventional Schlage C keyway cylinder. Accentra also lists a 107S Schlage cylinder adapter kit for Yale hardware.
17) Which comparable lever locks are fire rated like the Corbin Russwin CL3161?
The CL3161 carries a fire rating. Among peers, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lever is fire rated, and Arrow's MK02-TA privacy cylindrical lock is fire rated for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. If the opening is a rated door assembly and needs a keyed Entrance/Office lock, the CL3161 is the one of these that matches that function.
18) For a commercial entry door, how does the Hager 2525 compare with the Corbin Russwin CL3161?
The Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle, listed for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The CL3161 is Grade 1 with the ANSI F82A Entrance/Office function and covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors on a 2-3/4 inch backset. The Hager reaches thinner doors; the Corbin Russwin carries the higher grade and the published F82A function code, which matters when a hardware schedule calls the function out by number.
19) Storeroom function instead of entrance/office - what are the options next to the CL3161?
The CL3161's push button function leaves the outside lever unlocked until someone sets it, and closing the door does not release the button. Where the door must stay locked and key-only from outside, the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
20) What is the CL3161 made of, and will it hold up in a humid or coastal building?
Steel with a zinc dichromate treatment for corrosion resistance is the substrate under the finish. For high touch areas like healthcare and schools, the CL3100 Series can also be ordered with Microshield antimicrobial coating, available across the series finishes.
21) Does the CL3161 count toward LEED on a green building project?
The CL3161 is made from 68 percent post-consumer recycled content per LEED MR credit 4, which is the material that a specifier or sustainable distributor needs for the submittal on that credit.
22) We need matching trim across a building - does the CL3161 offer more lever and rose choices than the comparable Grade 1 levers?
The CL3161 is ordered with Armstrong, Newport or Princeton levers and a choice of C, D, E or K rose, in twelve finishes from 605 Bright Brass through 626 Satin Chrome to White Suede Powder Coat. Peers are generally offered on a single trim design - the Hager 2510 and 2580 use the Withnell lever, Design Hardware J75 and X75 use a flat lever, and Arrow's GL01 uses the Sierra lever. If a facility is standardizing lever shape and rose across keyed and non-keyed openings, that trim range is the deciding factor.
