Pamex FLU600 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Pamex Calypso entrance lever need to be ordered left or right hand?
No handing to specify. The Calypso FLU lever is non-handed, so one part covers both swings, and the standard latch is a 2-3/8 inch backset (deadlatch on the exterior side, plainlatch inside). For a property manager buying several at once, that means you order a single part number regardless of which way each door swings.
2) Will the Pamex FLU lever latch into the strike already in my frame?
The bolt throws 1/2 inch and the set ships with a 2-1/4 x 1-3/4 inch round corner full lip strike. If your existing strike is that same round corner size, the new lock latches straight into it and you can leave the frame alone. Square corner frames or a different lip length mean swapping the strike plate, and other strike options are made for the FLU.
3) Can I key the Pamex Calypso lever to my existing Kwikset or Schlage keys?
The Calypso FLU comes standard with a 5-pin Kwikset keyway solid brass cylinder, and a 5-pin Schlage C keyway version is also made. So if a building is already running KW keys, the standard set keys into that system; if it is on SC, you specify the C keyway version when ordering.
4) Is a Grade 3 lever like the Pamex Calypso good enough for an apartment or office door?
Grade 3 under ANSI/BHMA A156.2 is the residential duty tier, and Pamex catalogues the FLU as a residential lockset with a zinc die-cast lever. It suits apartment unit doors and light office traffic. For a corridor, a school, or any opening cycling hundreds of times a day, step up: the Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 entrance/office cylindrical lever, and the Dexter C1000 entry/office is Grade 1 on a 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door.
5) The Pamex Calypso entrance lever will not work on my 2 inch thick door - what fits?
The Pamex FLU Calypso is built for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. For a 2 inch door, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Deltana 6201 Manchester entry lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch as well. If the door is thicker still, the Falcon K101 covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, though that one is a passage function with no key.
6) What is the closest equivalent to the Pamex FLU Calypso entrance lever from another brand?
The Cal-Royal AUS00 is the nearest match. Both are Grade 3 entrance/office function levers built for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, so the door prep and the way the lock behaves at the opening are the same: key outside, turn-piece inside. The Pamex FLU uses a zinc die-cast lever, while the Cal-Royal AUS00 is built on a solid brass forged body. If you are matching an existing Pamex FLU on an adjacent door and want the same function and door range from a different maker, the AUS00 is the one to look at.
7) I need an entrance lever for a commercial corridor with heavy daily traffic - is a Grade 3 lever right, or should I step up?
The Pamex FLU Calypso is a Grade 3 residential entrance/office lever. For a commercial opening that cycles constantly, step up to the Dexter C1000 Series entry/office lever, which is Grade 1 with a clutching mechanism and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, or the Falcon B511CP6D, a Grade 2 medium-duty entry/office lever. All three hold the same entry/office function - key outside, unlocked inside - so the opening behaves the same way; the difference is the ANSI/BHMA cycle and strength grade behind it.
8) If I want a Schlage C keyway on the entrance lever instead of Kwikset, what are my options?
The Pamex FLU Calypso comes standard with a 5-pin Kwikset keyway solid brass cylinder and is available with a 5-pin Schlage C keyway. If your building is keyed to Schlage C and you want more pins, the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever is a Grade 2 with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different and a 2-3/8 inch backset - the same backset the FLU uses - and it fits the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door range.
9) What should I use instead of the Pamex Calypso entrance lever on a door that must stay locked and always latch behind whoever walks through?
That is storeroom function, not entrance/office. On the Pamex FLU Calypso the lever can be left unlocked by the inside turn-piece, which is exactly what you do not want on a storeroom or a mechanical room. Use the Cal-Royal AG05 instead - a Grade 2 storeroom leverset with a deadlocking latchbolt covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same door range - or the Hager 2580 Withnell, a Grade 2 storeroom lock for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
10) Is a knob lock a valid substitute for the Pamex Calypso entrance lever?
Functionally yes, ergonomically no. The Arrow HK11-BB is a turn-pushbutton entrance cylindrical lock with a conventional cylinder for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch - the same door range as the Pamex FLU Calypso - but it uses a ball knob rather than a lever. A lever is the form that satisfies ADA operable-hardware requirements on doors that have to be usable without grasping or twisting; a round knob is not. On a unit interior with no accessibility requirement the knob is a fine swap, but do not substitute it on a path-of-travel door.
11) Which lever should I use on a fire-rated door instead of the Pamex Calypso?
For an opening where the hardware itself has to carry a fire rating, look at the Corbin Russwin CL3110 from the CL3100 Series, a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage/closet lever that is fire rated and fits 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, or the Falcon K101 from the K Series, a Grade 1 heavy duty fire rated passage lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. Both are passage function - always free, no key - so on a fire door that also has to lock you will be specifying a keyed function within those same series rather than a straight swap.
12) Is the Corbin Russwin 585F715 lever a replacement lever for the Pamex Calypso?
No. The Corbin Russwin 585F715 is a Grade 1 lock lever for the ED8000 pushpad exit device and the CL3300 cylindrical lock series - it is trim that mounts to those specific devices, not a complete lockset. The Pamex FLU Calypso is a complete bored lockset with cylinder, latch and strike. The same distinction applies to the Imperial USA ED-EL500HD, which is escutcheon lever trim in entry function from the ED-500 Series and needs an exit device behind it. If you are replacing a whole lock in a 2-1/8 inch cross bore, you want a lockset, not trim.
13) What does the entrance/office function on the Pamex Calypso actually do day to day?
Key outside or turn-piece inside locks and unlocks both levers. Staff can button the office down from inside at the end of the day and let themselves back in with the key, and the door can be left free-turning during business hours. It is the function you want on a unit entry or a private office, not on a storeroom where the outside lever should stay locked at all times.
14) I need matching passage and privacy levers to go with the Pamex Calypso entry set. Do they exist?
Yes. The Calypso line runs entry, privacy (turn-piece inside, coin or screwdriver release outside), passage with both levers always free, and a half dummy for pull-only doors. So a unit can be trimmed out in one lever style: keyed at the front door, privacy on the bath, passage on the closet.
15) Does the Pamex FLU lever come with the latch and strike, or do I order those separately?
Latch and strike are included: a 2-3/8 inch deadlatch for the exterior side, a 2-3/8 inch plainlatch inside, a 1 x 2-1/4 inch round corner faceplate, and the 2-1/4 x 1-3/4 inch round corner full lip strike. Alternate latch, faceplate, and strike options are made if the frame prep calls for them, and there is a separate extension kit for thicker doors.
16) My existing lock has a 2-3/4 inch backset. Will the Pamex Calypso work?
Standard on the FLU Calypso is a 2-3/8 inch backset latch, which is the usual residential setting; 2-3/4 inch is the other common backset and Pamex lists alternate latch options for it. If you would rather buy a lock built around 2-3/4 inches, the Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever is a 2-3/4 inch backset unit.
17) Which levers match the Pamex Calypso entrance lever on doors that do not need a key?
For the non-keyed doors in the same run, the Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel, which is the same grade and the same finish as the Pamex FLU Calypso. The Kwikset 200BRNL RDT Breton is also a Grade 3 passage lever covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same door range the Pamex FLU covers. Passage function means both levers are always free - no key, no turn-piece - so use it on halls and closets and keep the FLU on the doors that lock.
18) Is the Callan Artino entrance leverset the same thing as the Pamex Calypso entrance lever?
They are close but not identical in what they cover. Both are Grade 3 keyed entrance levers. The Callan Artino is an entrance function lever; the Pamex FLU Calypso is entrance/office, and it ships with a 2-3/8 inch deadlatch on the exterior and a 2-3/8 inch plainlatch on the interior. If you are keying an opening to an existing Pamex system, confirm the keyway before you cross-order - the FLU takes a 5-pin Kwikset keyway as standard with a 5-pin Schlage C keyway as an option.
19) Can a classroom lever be substituted for the Pamex Calypso entrance lever?
No - the key does a different job. On the Pamex FLU Calypso, entrance/office function means the outside key or the inside turn-piece locks and unlocks both levers, so the door can be left unlocked. On a classroom lever such as the Dexter C1000 Series classroom lock, a Grade 1 clutching keyed lever for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the key works the outside lever only and there is no inside turn-piece to leave it open. Cal-Royal also builds a classroom lever in the AG Series, the AG03, on a 2-3/4 inch backset rather than the 2-3/8 inch the FLU uses as standard - check your cross bore location before swapping.
20) I saw a Pamex Calypso privacy lever listed - can I use that on my front entry door?
No. Privacy function on the Calypso line locks and unlocks from the inside turn-piece only, and the outside lever releases with a coin or a screwdriver - it is a bathroom and bedroom lock, not a keyed one. The entrance/office FLU is the keyed version, with a 5-pin solid brass cylinder. If you want a Grade 3 privacy lever for the bed and bath doors on the same job, the Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton is a Grade 3 privacy lever for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, matching the FLU door range.
21) What is the difference between the Pamex Calypso entrance lever and a keypad lever like the Emtek Classic or Lockey 1150?
The Pamex FLU Calypso is mechanical and key-operated - a 5-pin solid brass cylinder outside, turn-piece inside. A keypad lever removes the key from the daily routine: the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination in passage function, fitting doors 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock. Emtek also builds a Classic Keypad Leverset. Where a keyed lever means cutting and tracking keys for every tenant turnover, a keypad means changing a code instead.
22) I need a lever with a deadbolt above it on the entry door - does the Pamex Calypso do that?
The Pamex FLU Calypso is a bored lockset on its own, with a 1/2 inch throw latch bolt - the deadbolt is a separate cylinder if you want one. If you would rather buy the pair as one set, the Callan Bennett is a Grade 3 entrance leverset supplied as a deadbolt combo. Same Grade 3 entrance duty as the FLU, but the two bores come keyed and boxed together.
23) I only need a lever on one side for pull - can I order the Pamex Calypso that way, or is there another option?
The Calypso line includes a half dummy for doors where only a pull is required. Cross-brand, the Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever, and BEST builds dummy trim in two duty levels - the 7KC Series single dummy trim, Grade 2 medium duty, and the 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim, Grade 1 heavy duty. Baldwin's Estate 5103 half dummy is handed, offered as a left hand and a right hand part, which matters because the Pamex FLU itself is non-handed - if you go Baldwin you have to call the hand.
24) What lever do I use on a behavioral health or utility room where the Pamex Calypso entrance function is not appropriate?
Those rooms take asylum function, where both sides are keyed and there is no free lever and no inside turn-piece - the opposite of what the Pamex FLU Calypso does. The Dexter C1000 Series asylum lock is Grade 1 for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Arrow's MK33-BD-CS covers the same asylum, institution and utility function as a Grade 2 heavy duty lock with a conventional cylinder in Schlage C keyway, though it is a ball knob rather than a lever.
25) What finish does the Pamex FLU Calypso lever come in, and will it match my other doors?
Satin nickel only on the Calypso FLU entrance set. That is the common brushed silver tone, so it sits alongside most contemporary satin nickel hinges and pulls. If a building is standardised on brass, the Bravura Miramar passage leverset is offered in US4 satin brass.
26) Which entry levers give a more decorative look than the Pamex Calypso for a residential rental?
The Pamex FLU Calypso is a zinc die-cast lever in satin nickel. For a more decorative entry on the same kind of residential door, Deltana builds several entry levers with wider door coverage - the 6411 Morant and the 6431 Linstead both fit 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, as does the 6201 Manchester, and the 5851 Claremont is also an entry function lever. All of them are entry function like the FLU, so the door works the same way for the tenant; the difference is the lever shape and the door thickness range you can order into.
