Pamex FLFP03 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does a passage lever lock or take a key?
No, and that is the point of the function. On the Pamex FLF passage set both levers are always free, so the door latches shut but never locks. There is no key, no turn-piece, no push button. It is for halls, closets, and any door you only need held closed. If you need it to lock from inside a bathroom or bedroom, you want the privacy version instead; if it needs a key, that is the entry function.
2) Is a Grade 3 lever good enough for an apartment building or should I spend up?
Grade 3 to ANSI/BHMA A156.2 is the residential duty tier, and the Alto is built for that: zinc die-cast lever, residential rating. For unit interiors, closets, and hallway doors inside an apartment it is the normal choice. For a corridor door or anything taking public traffic, step up. In the same passage function ZenSupply carries the Grade 2 Falcon B101 and Hager 2510, and Grade 1 options like the Falcon K101 and the Corbin Russwin CL3110.
3) My door is 2 inches thick - the Pamex FLF Alto standard range does not reach it. What passage lever fits?
The Pamex FLF Alto fits 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors as standard, with an extension kit available for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. If you would rather order a lever that covers the thicker door out of the box, the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Arrow GL01 Grade 2 Sierra lever passage lock covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. All are passage function with both levers always free, the same operation as the FLF.
4) What is the closest equivalent to the Pamex FLF Alto passage leverset from another brand?
The Kwikset 200BRNL RDT Breton passage lever set is the nearest match. Like the Pamex FLF, it is a Grade 3 passage lever and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the same door thickness range the FLF covers as standard. Both are non-keyed passage sets, so both levers stay free at all times and there is no cylinder to key. The difference is trim styling - the FLF uses the Alto lever on a round rose, the Kwikset uses the Breton lever. If the requirement is a Grade 3 residential passage lever on a standard 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door, either meets it.
5) The Pamex FLF Alto is Grade 3 - what passage lever should I use on a commercial corridor or a stairwell door instead?
Step up to a Grade 1 passage lever. The Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage cylindrical lock with non-handed levers, carries a fire rating, and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. The Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage/closet lever with a fire rating, for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. The Pamex FLF Alto is a Grade 3 residential lever for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. On a fire-rated opening or a high-traffic commercial corridor, the K101 or CL3110 is the correct specification.
6) I need a lock for a bedroom or bathroom, not a hall. Is the Pamex FLF Alto passage the right one?
No. The Pamex FLF Alto in passage function leaves both levers always free - there is no locking at all, which suits halls and closets. For a bedroom or bathroom you want privacy function, where both levers lock by turn-piece inside and the outside lever releases with a coin or screwdriver. The Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton is a Grade 3 privacy lever set for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same thickness range the FLF covers. In Grade 2, the Hager 2540 privacy lock with the Withnell lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever uses the 5048 rose.
7) Will a Design Hardware J75 or X75 passage lever drop into the same door as the Pamex FLF Alto?
Check the door thickness before ordering. The Design Hardware J75 Grade 2 passage lever and the X75 Grade 1 passage lever are both listed for 1-3/4 inch doors specifically, while the Pamex FLF Alto covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch as standard. On a 1-3/4 inch door all three are candidates and both Design Hardware sets are flat lever trim. On a 1-3/8 inch door, the FLF Alto is the one that covers it.
8) For a classroom or storeroom door, what should I specify instead of the Pamex FLF Alto?
The Pamex FLF Alto in passage function has no locking, so it cannot secure a classroom or a storeroom. For a classroom, the Dexter C1000 Series is a Grade 1 keyed classroom lever with clutching for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the C1000 classroom security version keys both sides. The Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever in the AG Series uses a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different with a 2-3/4 inch backset. For a storeroom, 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, and the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom lock with the Withnell lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
9) Will the Pamex Alto latch catch in my existing strike, or do I need to swap the frame plate?
The bolt throws 1/2 inch, which is standard for a bored residential latch, so it will pick up an existing strike of the same type at a 2-3/8 inch backset. The supplied strike is a 2-1/4 x 1-3/4 inch round corner full lip. If the frame has a square corner cut-out instead of round, use the strike in the frame and just check the lip lines up with your jamb.
10) Is the Pamex Alto lever handed, or do I have to order left and right?
Non-handed. One part number covers both swings, so you can stock a single box for a whole building and not sort left hand from right hand at the door. That is worth noting against something like the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy, which is ordered as a specific left or right hand part.
11) Can I match a passage lever to keyed Alto locks on the same job?
Yes, the FLF Alto family runs across functions, so the passage set matches the entry and privacy versions on the same trim. The keyed ones take a 5-pin Kwikset keyway solid brass cylinder as standard, with a 5-pin Schlage C keyway available, so specify the keyway that matches the rest of the building when you order those. The passage set itself has no cylinder.
12) I need a lever on a door that does not latch at all, just a pull. Is the passage set right?
No. A passage set has a working latch, so the door catches. For a pull only, closet doors on a catch, or the inactive leaf of a pair, use a dummy instead. The Alto family includes a half dummy for exactly that. Across other brands ZenSupply carries the Callan Bentley dummy lever and, for heavy duty, the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim.
13) Does the Pamex Alto come with a deadlatch or a plain latch?
Both are offered depending on where the lock goes: exterior applications get a 2-3/8 inch deadlatch as standard, interior gets a 2-3/8 inch plainlatch. On a passage function the deadlatch buys you nothing since the door never locks, so the plainlatch is the normal call for a hall or closet. Other backsets are available if your door is bored at 2-3/4 inches.
14) Can I use a dummy lever in place of the Pamex FLF Alto passage lever?
Only where nothing has to latch. The Pamex FLF Alto passage set operates a latch - both levers are always free but the bolt still throws and holds the door closed. A dummy lever has no latch and no moving mechanism; it is surface mounted as a pull. If the door needs to stay shut, the passage set is the correct choice. If it is a closet door on ball catches or an inactive leaf of a pair, dummy trim works: the Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever, the BEST 7KC Series 1DT is a Grade 2 single dummy trim cylindrical lever, and the BEST 9K Series 1DT is the Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy trim.
15) What is a Grade 2 alternative to the Pamex FLF Alto passage lever for a light commercial job?
Several Grade 2 passage levers sit between the Grade 3 Pamex FLF Alto and heavy duty Grade 1 hardware. The Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical passage lever with a non-handed design, matching the non-handed installation of the FLF. The Hager 2510 is a Grade 2 passage lever with the Withnell design for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, a wider thickness range than the FLF standard 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 passage/closet lever in the 5300 Series. All three are non-keyed passage function, the same as the FLF.
16) I need a keyed lever, not a passage lever. What matches the Pamex FLF Alto in Grade 3?
The Pamex FLF Alto in passage function has no cylinder - both levers are always free. For a keyed Grade 3 lever, the Cal-Royal AUS00 is an entrance/office lever with a solid brass forged body for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the same thickness range the FLF covers. The Callan Artino is a Grade 3 entrance leverset, and the Callan Bennett is a Grade 3 entrance leverset paired with a deadbolt in a combo set if the opening needs a second point of security.
17) What is the difference between the Pamex FLF Alto passage lever and a knob set for the same opening?
The trim is the operating difference. The Pamex FLF Alto uses a zinc die-cast lever, which needs no grasping or twisting to operate. Knob sets in the same cylindrical family cover other functions - the Arrow MK02-TA is a privacy knob lock with a Tudor knob and a fire rating for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, and the Arrow HK11-BB is an entrance lock with a turn-pushbutton and a ball knob for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. For an opening that must be operable without tight grasping, the lever trim on the FLF Alto is the form to specify.
18) I am standardizing passage levers across an apartment building - what are my options besides the Pamex FLF Alto?
For residential-grade standardization, the Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel, and the Pamex FLF Alto comes in 619 satin nickel as well as 625 bright chrome and 622 matte black, so the two can be matched on finish. Bravura offers a family of Grade 2 passage leversets that share a trim program across styles - the Atlanta, Orlando and Miramar on round trim and the Tampa on square trim - which lets you run one grade and one rose shape through a whole building while varying lever style by unit type. The Accentra 4601LN Augusta is a Grade 2 passage lever in the 4600 Series if you want a single series carried across a larger property.
19) I want a decorative passage lever instead of the Pamex FLF Alto round rose. What are the options?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever with the 5048 rose is the decorative equivalent, and the same 5103 lever is offered in privacy and in left hand and right hand half dummy so a whole floor can be trimmed alike. Emtek offers dummy trim in decorative families - the Arts and Crafts lever, the Hammered lever, and the Cortina lever in the Classic Brass program, all as dummy pairs. The Pamex FLF Alto lever mounts on a round rose and is non-handed, so it installs the same way regardless of door swing, while the Baldwin half dummy trim is ordered by hand.
20) The Pamex FLF Alto uses a zinc die-cast lever. What passage lever uses a heavier material or construction?
The Pamex FLF Alto lever is zinc die-cast. For heavier construction, the Falcon T101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever with pressure release technology in the T Series, and the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lock. In Grade 3 keyed hardware, the Cal-Royal AUS00 entrance/office lever uses a solid brass forged body and fits the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door range as the FLF Alto. Material choice mostly follows expected traffic: zinc die-cast trim suits residential interior doors, forged and heavy duty bodies suit openings cycled all day.
