The push button is released by turning the inside lever or by key in the outside lever, and closing the door does not release the push button.

Corbin Russwin CL3561 NZD 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Corbin Russwin CL3561 work on a 1-3/4 inch commercial door?
Yes. The CL3561 cylindrical lever lock covers door thicknesses from 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, which spans both the standard 1-3/4 inch commercial door and the thinner 1-3/8 inch interior doors common in older buildings. Backset is 2-3/4 inches, the usual commercial bore center.
2) How does the Entrance/Office function on the CL3561 actually behave day to day?
It is ANSI function F82A. The deadlocking latchbolt retracts by lever from either side until the push button on the inside locks the outside lever. Once pushed, the outside lever stays locked and needs a key; the inside lever is always free to exit and turning it releases the push button. Closing the door does not release it, so an office stays locked after staff leave and pull the door shut behind them.
3) Is the CL3561 lever lock approved for a fire rated door?
It is fire rated, and the CL3500 Series chassis is UL/cUL listed for 3-hour fire doors up to 4 by 10 feet, with NFPA 80 and ADA A117.1 compliance cited. The deadlocking latchbolt has a 1/2 inch throw, which is what a labeled opening needs to stay positively latched.
4) My building is keyed to Schlage C. Can I still specify the CL3561?
The Corbin Russwin CL3561 ships standard with a conventional 6-pin L4 keyway cylinder and can also be ordered less cylinder or less core for Corbin Russwin 6-pin and 7-pin LFIC cores. If the facility is standardized on Schlage C, entrance leversets already built for that keyway include the Cal-Royal AG00, a 6-pin Schlage C keyway lever keyed different. Note it uses a 2-3/8 inch backset against the CL3561 standard 2-3/4 inch.
5) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to the Corbin Russwin CL3561 entrance/office lever lock?
The Falcon B511CP6D is the nearest match in function: it is a cylindrical lever lock with an Entry/Office function, Grade 2. The Corbin Russwin CL3561 is a cylindrical entrance/office leverset with a deadlocking latchbolt operated by lever from either side except when the push button locks the outside lever. If you want the same opening behavior from a different maker, the B511CP6D is the one to quote; the Falcon is listed as medium duty, while the CL3561 is a heavy duty commercial lockset.
6) I need a storeroom function instead of entrance/office on the same door prep. What should I order?
Two cylindrical storeroom leversets to look at are the Cal-Royal AG05, Grade 2 with a deadlocking latchbolt for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Hager 2580 with the Withnell lever, Grade 2 for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Storeroom keeps the outside lever locked at all times with key entry only; the Corbin Russwin CL3561 uses a push button that locks the outside lever and is released by the inside lever or the key.
7) Is a classroom lock a substitute for the CL3561 entrance/office lock?
No. The Dexter C1000 classroom lever is a Grade 1 keyed cylindrical lock for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever uses a 6-pin Schlage C keyway with a 2-3/4 inch backset, but classroom function locks and unlocks the outside lever by key only. The Corbin Russwin CL3561 is push-button controlled from inside, with the inside lever always free. Same chassis family, different daily behavior, so do not swap one for the other on a spec.
8) Can I put this lever lock on a narrow aluminum storefront stile?
No. The CL3500 Series cylindrical chassis needs a minimum 4-1/2 inch stile, so a typical narrow storefront stile will not take it. Narrow stile aluminum doors normally call for a mortise or exit-device-with-lever-trim arrangement instead. On a standard hollow metal or wood commercial door the 4-1/2 inch stile is no obstacle.
9) Which lever design and finish do I pick to match other doors in the building?
Three lever designs are offered, Armstrong (AZD), Newport (NZD) and Princeton (PZD), all solid cast with no plastic inserts and freewheeling for vandal resistance. Finishes run 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 611 bright bronze, 612 satin bronze, 613 and 613L oil-rubbed bronze, 613E dark oxidized equivalent, 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. The common commercial pairing is the NZD Newport lever in 626 satin chrome.
10) I need the same lever style on doors that do not need to lock. What do I order alongside the CL3561?
Stay in the CL3500 Series for passage, privacy and dummy openings so the lever design and finish match the keyed doors. If you are not tied to Corbin Russwin trim, comparable non-keyed heavy duty cylindrical levers include the Falcon T101 and Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage locks, or the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim. Those will not match the Newport, Armstrong or Princeton lever profile, so mixing them on adjacent doors will be visible.
11) What is a lower-cost alternative to the CL3561 for an Entrance/Office door in a light-traffic building?
For an office door that does not see heavy use, the Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical lever in the same Entrance/Office function, and the Cal-Royal AUS00 is a Grade 3 Entrance/Office lever rated for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. Neither is a heavy duty chassis, so for corridors, apartment entries and school doors stay with the CL3561, which is a heavy duty commercial lock.
12) Can I get the CL3561 with a 2-3/8 inch backset for a residential-prepped door?
The CL3561 ships standard on a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the CL3500 Series is offered in 2-3/8, 2-3/4, 3-3/4 and 5 inch backsets. The 2-3/8 inch option covers doors bored to the residential center; 3-3/4 and 5 inch are for wide-stile or thick-rail doors. Note the standard deadlatch supplied is the 2-3/4 inch backset latch, so a different backset has to be called out on the order.
13) The door does not need to lock at all. What is the non-keyed alternative to the CL3561?
For an unlocked opening, use a passage leverset. Grade 1 options include the Falcon K101, non-handed and fire rated for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, the Falcon T101 heavy duty with pressure release, the Dexter C1000 passage with clutching levers for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Design Hardware X75 flat lever for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Corbin Russwin CL3561 is a keyed single-cylinder lock, so a passage set is the one to use where no key is wanted.
14) What is a Grade 2 entrance lever alternative if I am matching existing Grade 2 hardware in the building?
The Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever is Grade 2 with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway and 2-3/8 inch backset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Note the backset: the Corbin Russwin CL3561 is 2-3/4 inch standard, so the AG00 at 2-3/8 inch would need matching door prep.
15) I want keyless entry on this opening instead of a keyed lever. What replaces the CL3561?
Mechanical and electronic keypad leversets cover that. The Lockey 2835 pushbutton keyless lever lock is ADA compliant and fits doors 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch, the Lockey 1150 heavy duty keypad lever set covers 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock. Unlike the Corbin Russwin CL3561, which uses a conventional 6-pin L4 keyway cylinder, these open by code rather than key, so they do not join an existing Corbin Russwin key system.
16) I need a matching inactive lever for a pair of doors where one leaf carries the CL3561. What do I use?
A dummy trim set is what goes on the inactive leaf. The BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed cylindrical lever trim, the BEST 7KC 1DT is the Grade 2 medium duty version, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 single dummy cylindrical lever. These have no latch and no cylinder at all, so they are not a substitute for the keyed Corbin Russwin CL3561 on an active leaf.
17) For a restroom or bedroom door in the same building, is the CL3561 the right lock?
No, that opening wants a privacy function. The Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 privacy lever for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Privacy sets lock from inside with no key on the outside; the Corbin Russwin CL3561 is a keyed single-cylinder entrance/office lock intended for offices, suites and unit entries.
18) Is the CL3561 chassis going to hold up in a high-traffic apartment or school corridor?
It is built for it. Heavy duty commercial rating, steel construction with a zinc dichromate coating for corrosion resistance, thrubolts to stop the chassis rotating in the door, and a non-handed spring cassette that keeps the lever from sagging over time. Levers are solid cast and freewheel when forced rather than transmitting the load into the chassis.
19) Which alternative should I look at for a psychiatric or utility door rather than the CL3561?
For those openings the asylum function is the usual call. The Dexter C1000 asylum lock is Grade 1 F87 for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Arrow MK33-BD-CS is a heavy duty Grade 2 asylum lock with a ball knob and a conventional Schlage C keyway cylinder. Asylum function keys both sides; the Corbin Russwin CL3561 keeps the inside lever always free, which is why it suits office and unit entry doors rather than secured utility rooms.
