Master Lock BC Series - Grade 3 Wawe Style Lever Keyed Entry Lockset

Both common backsets are covered. The WL01 keyed entry leverset ships with a six-way adjustable latch that sets to either 2-3/8 inch (60mm) or 2-3/4 inch (70mm), so one part number covers the two backsets used on residential doors. The same latch handles square corner faceplates, round corner faceplates, or drive-in installation, which means you do not have to know how the existing door is prepped before you order.

Yes, keyed alike is an ordering option on the WL01. Keying is a required selection: KA keyed alike for multiple locks on one key, KD keyed different, or no cylinder at all if you are supplying your own. There is also an optional key code field, so if you are adding locks to a building already running a code, you can put that code on the order and the new levers work the existing key. Keep the keyway consistent across the order, since the lock is offered in Kwikset KW1, Schlage C, and Weiser WR5.

That depends on which keyway you pick, and all three of the usual residential ones are available: Kwikset KW1, Schlage C, and Weiser WR5. Match the keyway to what is already in your doors and pin it to the same code and the WL01 runs on the existing key. The lock uses a conventional cylinder, so a locksmith can rekey it in the field the same way they would any standard residential cylinder.

Grade 3 is the residential tier, and the WL01 entry leverset is built to it. That is the right call for apartment unit doors, single family exteriors, and light traffic rentals. It is not the choice for a school, a healthcare corridor, or any opening seeing constant public use. Step up to Grade 2 for moderate commercial traffic, such as the Hager 2525 entry lever, or Grade 1 for heavy duty, such as the Dexter C1000 Series entry/office lever.

It does. The WL01 is a keyed entry function lever for exterior openings, so the outside lever is locked and unlocked by key and the inside lever always retracts the latch to get out. If you want a lever that never locks, for a hallway or closet, that is a passage function instead, like the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton. For a bed or bath door with a push button and no key, look at a privacy lever such as the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton.

The Callan Artino leverset is the nearest match: it is a Grade 3 entrance leverset, the same grade and the same entrance function as the WL01 keyed cylindrical lever. Both are keyed entry levers meant for an exterior door where the outside lever locks and a key retracts the latch. The WL01 side carries a six-way adjustable latch that fits either a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset and operates on a conventional cylinder, so if you are matching a residential entry door and want a Grade 3 lever, the Artino covers the same duty class.

The Cal-Royal AUS00 is a Grade 3 lever with an entrance/office function and a solid brass forged body, fitted for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. The difference from the Master Lock WL01 is the function: the WL01 is an entrance lock, while the entrance/office function on the AUS00 lets the outside lever be left unlocked for business hours and then locked from inside. Same Grade 3 duty class either way.

Move to a Grade 2 or Grade 1 keyed lever. The Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick, holding the same entrance function as the WL01. Above that, the Dexter C1000 is a Grade 1 entry/office cylindrical lever with a clutching, keyed design for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The WL01 itself is a Grade 3 residential lock, so for a building with tenant or public traffic on the door, the 2525 or C1000 is the class you want.

No. The Breton 200BRNL is a Grade 3 passage lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick - passage means it always turns freely and takes no key or cylinder. The Master Lock WL01 is keyed, with a conventional cylinder and a choice of Kwikset KW1, Schlage C or Weiser WR5 keyway. They share the Grade 3 class and the lever look, so they pair well on the same run of doors, but only the WL01 will lock an exterior opening.

The Callan Bennett is a Grade 3 entrance leverset supplied as a deadbolt combo, so the lever and the deadbolt come as one set. The Master Lock WL01 is the lever alone - a keyed entrance cylindrical lockset with a six-way adjustable latch for a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset. Both are Grade 3 entrance products; the Bennett is the pick when the opening needs a second point of locking.

A storeroom-function lever. The Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lockset with a deadlocking latchbolt for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, and the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. On a storeroom function the outside lever stays locked at all times and a key is required every entry, where the WL01 entrance lock can be left unlocked by the inside control.

No, a classroom door wants a classroom function. The Cal-Royal AG03 is a classroom lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different on a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Dexter C1000 classroom is a Grade 1 clutching keyed lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. On classroom function the outside lever is locked and unlocked by key from the corridor with no inside button. The WL01 is an entrance function lock intended for residential exterior doors.

No handing to specify. The WL01 keyed entry lever is ordered by finish and keyway only, with no left or right hand option in the matrix, so the same part goes on an inswing or outswing door either way. What you do need to know before ordering is the backset in the door, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4, though the adjustable latch covers both.

Three finishes: 605 bright brass, 716 aged bronze, and 619 satin nickel. All three are standard BHMA finish numbers, so if the levers and deadbolts already on your building are specified as 605, 619, or 716, the WL01 lines up with them. Every finish is available in all three keyways, so matching the look does not force a keyway compromise.

The WL01 is the keyed entry lockset only. If the opening needs a deadbolt above the lever, that is a separate order, and you would want it in the same keyway and keyed alike to the lever so the tenant carries one key. If you would rather buy the two as a matched set in one box, the Callan Bennett Grade 3 entrance leverset ships as a lever and deadbolt combo.

Yes. Along with keyed alike and keyed different, the keying selection includes a less cylinder option, which is how you order when a locksmith is fitting the building's own cylinders or keying the job in house. The lock takes a conventional cylinder, not an interchangeable core, so plan the keying around that.

Two close alternatives at the same grade and function. The Cal-Royal AUS00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office lever with a solid brass forged body, listed for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Callan Artino is a Grade 3 entrance leverset. Both are keyed entry levers in the same residential and light duty class as the Master Lock WL01, so the decision comes down to trim style and the keyway you need to match.

It will. The six-way adjustable latch on the WL01 converts to drive-in, so it goes into a bored hole with no faceplate mortise cut. The same latch also configures for square corner or round corner faceplates if the existing door is prepped that way. This is what makes it a practical retrofit for a mixed set of doors where the prep varies unit to unit.

The Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock, so entry is by code at the keypad rather than by cylinder. The Master Lock WL01 is a mechanical Grade 3 keyed entrance lever running a conventional cylinder in a Kwikset KW1, Schlage C or Weiser WR5 keyway, keyed alike or keyed different. Choose the LP250 when you are rotating occupants and want to change a code; choose the WL01 when the opening has to key into an existing mechanical system.

For a 2 inch door, look at a lever whose stated thickness range reaches it: the Hager 2525 Grade 2 entrance lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Deltana 6201 Manchester entry lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Cal-Royal AUS00 Grade 3 entrance/office lever stops at 1-3/4 inch. The WL01 latch is six-way adjustable for a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset and square, rounded-corner or drive-in preps, which is a separate dimension from door thickness.

Not for a keyed opening. The Baldwin Estate 5103 with the 5048 rose comes in passage, privacy and half dummy versions, left or right hand - none of which take a key. The Master Lock WL01 is a keyed entrance lockset with a conventional cylinder. Use the 5103 where you want the Estate trim on interior or inactive doors, and a keyed entrance lock such as the WL01 where the door has to lock from outside.
