Corbin Russwin CL3162-KEYED Grade 1 Communicating Cylindrical Lever Lock with Vandal Resistance and T-Zone Construction

Patented CL3100 Series Communicating Keyed Cylindrical Lever Lock for High-Traffic Commercial Applications

The Corbin Russwin CL3162-KEYED is a Grade 1 communicating cylindrical lever lock from the patented CL3100 Series, engineered for offices and rooms with multiple entries requiring independent lever control from either side. Designed for door thicknesses of 1-3/4" to 2" with a 2-3/4" backset, this lock features ANSI function F80 (Communicating) and delivers a deadlocking latchbolt operable by lever from either side, except when a key in either lever locks and unlocks that lever independently while the opposite lever remains freewheeling in the locked position. Built on a steel and zinc dichromated substrate for corrosion resistance, the CL3162-KEYED exceeds ANSI/BHMA A156.2 Series 4000 Grade 1 standards through its unique T-Zone construction, which interlocks the aligning and latch tubes to form a rugged torque-resistant "T" in the critical twist area.

Corbin Russwin CL3162 NZD 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the communicating function on the Corbin Russwin CL3162 actually do on a door with two entries?
The CL3162 is ANSI function F80, communicating. The deadlocking latchbolt retracts by lever from either side, and a key in either lever locks and unlocks that lever independently of the other. When one side is locked, that lever freewheels while the opposite lever still operates the latch. That is what suits it to an office or exam room with more than one way in, where each side needs its own control.
2) Will the CL3162 fit a 1-3/8 inch door?
No. The CL3162 is built for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors with a 2-3/4 inch backset, so a 1-3/8 inch leaf is out of range. For thinner doors, Dexter's C1000 Series cylindrical locks cover 1-3/8 inch up to 2 inch, and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, though those are different functions.
3) Can I drop the CL3162 into an existing 161 cylindrical prep, or do I need to redrill?
It retrofits most standard 161 cylindrical lock preps, so an existing commercial bored door usually takes it without new drilling. Confirm the prep is on a 2-3/4 inch backset, since that is the backset both the lock and the supplied square corner deadlatch (2-1/4 by 1-1/8 inch front) are built to. It is also non-handed, so the same lock works on a left or right hand opening.
4) Can I key the CL3162 into my building's existing master key system?
Yes, in several ways. As standard it ships with a conventional 6-pin cylinder in the L4 keyway. If your facility runs interchangeable cores, order CL6 (less core, 6-pin LFIC) or CL7 (less core, 7-pin LFIC) and install your own Corbin Russwin cores, or order LC (less conventional cylinder) to fit your own. The CL3100 Series also accepts Schlage LFIC. Note this is a double cylinder function, so there is a keyed cylinder in each lever.
5) Is the CL3162 lever lock approved for a fire rated door?
Yes, the CL3162 carries a fire rating, and the deadlocking latchbolt with the ANSI curved lip strike is the arrangement a labeled door needs for positive latching. It is a Grade 1 commercial lock to ANSI/BHMA A156.2 Series 4000.
6) I need to order several of these for one suite. What do I have to specify?
Four selections plus keying. Lever design: AZ Armstrong, NZ Newport or PZ Princeton. Rose: C rose 2-3/4 inch diameter, D rose 3-1/2 inch diameter (standard), E rose 3-1/8 inch square or K rose 2-3/4 inch diameter. Cylinder: conventional 6-pin L4 keyway, CL6 or CL7 less core, or LC less cylinder. Finish: 12 choices from 605 bright brass through 626 satin chrome, 722 black oxidized bronze oil-rubbed, BSP black suede and WSP white suede powder coat. Then keying, either keyed different, keyed alike across the group, or none if you are supplying cores. The common commercial spec is the NZ Newport lever in 626 satin chrome.
7) What Grade 1 cylindrical lever lock should I use if the opening needs a classroom function instead of communicating?
The Corbin Russwin CL3162 is built for the F80 communicating function, where a key in either lever locks and unlocks that lever independently of the other. If the door instead needs to be locked and unlocked only from the outside key with the inside always free, the Dexter C1000 Series classroom lever lock is a Grade 1 cylindrical lock with a classroom function and a clutching lever, listed for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. For a classroom security function with cylinders on both sides, the Dexter C1000 Series classroom security lever is also Grade 1 and covers the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door range.
8) Can I substitute a Grade 2 lever lock for the Corbin Russwin CL3162 on an office door?
The CL3162 is an ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 cylindrical lever lock for commercial use. Grade 2 lever locks in the same cylindrical format include the Falcon B511CP6D entry/office lever, the Hager 2525 commercial cylindrical entry lock for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal AG05 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. None of those is a communicating function, so if the room has two entries needing independent lever control from either side, they do not perform the same job as the CL3162.
9) I need a Grade 1 lock for a patient room or institutional door - is the CL3162 the right function?
The Corbin Russwin CL3162 uses the F80 communicating function, intended for rooms with multiple entries where each lever is keyed independently. For a door requiring an asylum or institution function with a cylinder controlling the latch from both sides, the Dexter C1000 Series asylum lock is Grade 1, ANSI F87, and listed for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Arrow MK33-BD-CS is an asylum function cylindrical lock with a conventional Schlage C keyway cylinder and a ball knob rather than a lever.
10) If my facility is keyed in Schlage, is there an alternative to the CL3162's L4 keyway?
The Corbin Russwin CL3162 ships with a conventional 6-pin L4 keyway cylinder and can also be ordered less conventional cylinder or less core for Corbin Russwin LFIC 6-pin or 7-pin. If you would rather buy a lock already cut to Schlage C, the Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever uses a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different with a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever is Schlage C 6-pin with a 2-3/8 inch backset. The Accentra 107S is a Schlage cylinder adapter kit for Yale hardware, not for Corbin Russwin.
11) Does the CL3162 come with a strike, and will it work in my existing frame prep?
An ANSI curved lip strike with a 1-1/4 inch lip length is supplied as standard, measuring 4-7/8 by 1-1/4 inches with 1-1/4 inch lip to center. If your frame is already cut for an ANSI 4-7/8 inch strike, it drops in. Frames prepped only for a small T-strike will need the opening enlarged.
12) Will the CL3162 hold up in a high-traffic corridor, and is it suitable for a healthcare or school building?
It is tested past 15 million cycles through patented T-Zone construction, which interlocks the aligning and latch tubes into a torque-resistant T at the point where levers get twisted or hung on. The body is steel, zinc dichromated for corrosion resistance. That covers commercial offices, hospitals, K-12 and university buildings, and government facilities. For infection-control areas the CL3100 Series can be had with Microshield antimicrobial coating.
13) Can I match the CL3162 to the passage and dummy levers on the other doors in the same suite?
Within the CL3100 Series, yes: 18 functions share the same trim, and most function changes take only two parts, so a communicating lock, a passage lock and a privacy lock can all wear the same Armstrong, Newport or Princeton lever and the same rose in the same finish. If you are matching Grade 1 non-keyed trim from another line instead, the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy is a Grade 1 heavy duty dummy, and the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 fire rated passage lever.
14) Which rose size should I pick if I am covering up marks from the old lockset?
The D rose at 3-1/2 inch diameter is the standard and the largest of the four, so it hides the most around an existing bore. The E rose is 3-1/8 inch square, and both the C and K roses are 2-3/4 inch diameter, which suit a clean door or a narrower stile. All four mount on the same 2-3/4 inch backset cylindrical prep.
15) Is there a Grade 1 lever lock equivalent for a door that does not need to lock at all?
The Corbin Russwin CL3162 is a keyed lock with a double cylinder arrangement, so it is more than a non-locking opening requires. For passage duty at the same Grade 1 level, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage cylindrical lock with non-handed levers, fire rated, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. The Falcon T101 is another Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever lock, and the Dexter C1000 Series passage lever is Grade 1 with a clutching, non-keyed lever for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
16) What should I order instead of the CL3162 if the door only needs matching lever trim with no latch?
The Corbin Russwin CL3162 is a functioning cylindrical lever lock with a deadlatch and a 2-3/4 inch backset, so it is not the part for an inactive leaf. Dummy trim options include the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim lever, which is Grade 1 heavy duty and non-keyed, the BEST 7KC Series single dummy trim lever in Grade 2 medium duty, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta Grade 1 single dummy cylindrical lever from the 5400 Series.
17) Is a keypad lever lock an alternative to the Corbin Russwin CL3162?
They solve different problems. The CL3162 is a keyed mechanical communicating lock using a conventional 6-pin L4 keyway cylinder, and it can also be ordered less core for Corbin Russwin LFIC 6-pin or 7-pin cores, so it folds into an existing facility key system. Keypad alternatives include the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function, listed for 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch doors, the Lockey 1150 heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set for 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Delaney LP250 electronic keypad leverlock at Grade 2. Those are code-entry devices and do not provide independent key control of each lever.
18) Will a residential-grade lever set work in place of the Corbin Russwin CL3162?
The CL3162 is specified as commercial and Grade 1, with steel and zinc dichromated substrate for corrosion resistance. Lever sets such as the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever and the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever are Grade 3 and listed for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Master Lock BC Series keyed entry lever is Grade 3, and the Cal-Royal AUS00 entrance/office lever is Grade 3 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Those cover lighter-traffic openings and none offers the communicating function.
19) Which alternative matches the CL3162's 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch door thickness range?
The Corbin Russwin CL3162 covers doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch thick with a 2-3/4 inch backset. Among cylindrical lever alternatives with comparable or wider ranges, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock is listed for 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever and Hager 2580 Grade 2 storeroom lever both cover 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Arrow GL01 Grade 2 passage lock is listed for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. Locks such as the Cal-Royal AG05 stop at 1-3/4 inch, so they will not suit a 2 inch leaf.
20) Does a privacy lever lock do the same thing as the Corbin Russwin CL3162?
No. The CL3162 is keyed with a cylinder in each lever, so each side is locked and unlocked independently with a key. Privacy locks are non-keyed and use an inside turn: the Arrow MK02-TA is a privacy cylindrical lock with a Tudor knob and is fire rated, the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with a Withnell lever, and the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with 5048 rose is a decorative privacy set. Those suit bath and bedroom doors, not multiple-entry offices.
21) Does the CL3162 count toward LEED credits?
The lock is made from 68% post-consumer recycled content as per LEED MR credit 4, which is the figure to put on a submittal for recycled content. Grade 1 durability and a 15 million cycle rating also support a long replacement interval on high-use openings.
