Pamex FLU603 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Pamex Calypso passage lever fit a standard 1-3/8 inch or 1-3/4 inch interior door?
Both thicknesses are covered as standard. The FLU Calypso lever fits doors from 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, which covers the common older interior door and the standard commercial leaf. For thicker doors, 1-3/4 up to 2-1/4 inches, an extension kit is required.
2) What door prep does the Pamex FLU Calypso lever need, and will it drop into an existing bore?
Standard 161 tubular prep: 2-1/8 inch cross bore with a 1 inch edge bore, and a 2-3/8 inch backset latch. If the door already has a knob or lever in that prep, the Calypso goes straight in. The faceplate is 1 x 2-1/4 inches round corner and the strike is 2-1/4 x 1-3/4 inches round corner full lip, so a square-corner mortised frame prep would need a different strike option.
3) What does the passage function on the Pamex FLU actually do, and is there a lock in it?
Passage means both levers are always free, with no key and no turn button. It latches the door shut and nothing more, which is what you want on a hall, closet, or pantry. If you need to lock the room, the FLU family also offers entry (key outside, turn-piece inside), privacy (turn-piece inside, released outside with a coin or screwdriver), and half dummy for pull-only doors.
4) Will the Pamex Calypso latch into the strike plate already in my frame?
The bolt has a 1/2 inch throw off a 2-3/8 inch backset latch, which is the standard residential tubular setup, so it lines up with an existing round corner full lip strike of the same dimensions. The lockset ships with a 2-1/4 x 1-3/4 inch round corner full lip strike, so if your frame is prepped square corner or for a T-strike, plan on reusing your existing plate or ordering the alternate strike option.
5) What is the closest equivalent to a Pamex FLU Calypso passage lever from another brand?
The Pamex FLU Calypso is a Grade 3 passage leverset, both levers always free, with a zinc die-cast lever. The closest same-grade passage equivalents are the Kwikset 200BRNL RDT Breton passage lever, a Grade 3 passage/hall/closet lever fitting 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Callan Asheville AH5011, a Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel. All three are non-keyed passage levers for interior residential openings, and the FLU also fits 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
6) I need a lock on the door, not a free-turning lever. What takes the place of a Calypso passage set?
A passage lever such as the Pamex FLU Calypso leaves both levers always free and has no locking at all. For a bedroom or bathroom, use a privacy lever like the Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton, a Grade 3 privacy lever for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, or the Hager 2540 Grade 2 privacy lever with Withnell trim. For a keyed opening, the Cal-Royal AUS00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office lever with a solid brass forged body fitting 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Callan Artino 360201 is a Grade 3 entrance leverset.
7) Will a dummy lever work in place of a passage lever on a closet door?
No, not if the door needs to latch. The Pamex FLU Calypso is a passage set with a 2-3/8 inch latch and a strike, so the door stays shut until the lever is turned. A dummy such as the Callan Bentley BN5051 Grade 2 dummy lever, the BEST 7KC 1DT single dummy trim, or the Emtek Cortina dummy pair is trim only, for openings where just a pull is needed, with no latch behind it. Use a dummy on an inactive leaf or a ball-catch door, and a passage set where the latch does the holding.
8) Which passage lever should I pick for a fire-rated door?
Look for a lever that carries a fire rating in its own right. The Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-handed passage lever with a fire rating, covering 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage/closet lever with a fire rating for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. On the residential side, the Kwikset 200DL-RCALFD Delta passage lever comes with a round corner adjustable 20 minute UL latch and a round corner strike.
9) Do I have to specify handing on the Pamex Calypso lever?
No handing to call out. The Calypso lever is non-handed, so one part covers left and right hand doors. For a property manager buying for a building, that means a single SKU on the shelf rather than a left and a right.
10) I need a passage lever for a hall closet. What is the difference between the Pamex Calypso and the Kwikset Breton or a Bravura leverset?
All are passage levers for interior doors, and the split is grade and trim. The Calypso and the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton are both Grade 3, and the Breton lists the same 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door range. The Bravura Atlanta, Orlando, and Tampa passage leversets are Grade 2, with Tampa carrying square trim if you want a squared rose instead of round. Pick on grade and on the trim shape that matches the rest of the openings.
11) Can the Pamex Calypso passage lever be keyed to match my other doors?
No. Passage function has no cylinder at all, so there is nothing to key. Keying only comes into play on the entry function in the FLU family, which uses a 5-pin solid brass cylinder in the Kwikset keyway as standard, with a 5-pin Schlage C keyway available. If your building is on Schlage C, specify that on the keyed openings.
12) Is there a mid-duty passage lever between a Grade 3 residential set and a Grade 1 commercial lock?
Yes. The Pamex FLU Calypso is Grade 3; several Grade 2 passage levers sit between it and Grade 1. The Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 medium duty non-handed passage lever, the Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 passage/closet lever in the 5300 Series, the Hager 2510 is a Grade 2 passage lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Arrow GL01 is a Grade 2 non-keyed Sierra lever passage lock for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. Grade 2 is a common choice for multi-family unit interiors where the traffic is heavier than a single-family home.
13) What passage lever fits a door thicker than 1-3/4 inches?
The Pamex FLU Calypso 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 doors. If you would rather have the range built in, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 passage lever is rated 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch.
14) What is the difference between the Pamex Calypso passage lever and a Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever?
Both are passage levers, but they are built for different jobs. The Pamex FLU Calypso is a Grade 3 residential leverset with a zinc die-cast lever, non-handed, fitting 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever comes with the 5048 rose and is offered as a handed pair on the half dummy side, with separate left hand and right hand versions, so handing has to be called out when the trim is matched across an opening.
15) What lever do I use on a classroom or storeroom door instead of a passage set?
The Pamex FLU Calypso is a passage lever with no keying, which does not suit a room that has to be secured. For a classroom, the Dexter C1000 is a Grade 1 clutching classroom lever for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal AG03 is a Grade 2 classroom lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway and 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 lever with Withnell trim.
16) If I am standardizing an apartment building on one lever family, can I match the Pamex Calypso across every door function?
The Pamex FLU family is offered in entry, privacy, passage, and half dummy functions, so a unit can be trimmed out in one lever style. If you would rather standardize on a single commercial family, the Accentra Augusta line runs across functions with the 5301LN Grade 2 passage/closet lever and the 455LN Grade 1 single dummy, and the Falcon B Series pairs the B101 Grade 2 passage lever with the B511CP6D Grade 2 entry/office lever.
17) What finish does the Pamex FLU Calypso passage lever come in?
Satin nickel is the finish offered, and it is the only one. If you are matching satin nickel across a floor and need the same look in other functions, the Callan Asheville is another Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel.
18) Is there a matching dummy lever to pair with the Pamex Calypso on a double door or closet pair?
The FLU Calypso family includes a half dummy for doors that only need a pull, so a pair of closet doors can run a passage set on the active leaf and the half dummy on the other. Handing is not a concern on the passage set, since it is non-handed.
19) I want a square rose instead of a round one on a passage lever. What are the options?
The Pamex FLU Calypso is a Grade 3 passage lever with round trim. For a square trim look on the same function, the Bravura Tampa BV333702 is a Grade 2 passage leverset with square trim. If round trim is fine and you are just comparing lever shapes, the Bravura Atlanta BV333002, Orlando BV333602, and Miramar BV940-106 in satin brass are all Grade 2 round-trim passage leversets.
20) Can I use a keypad lever where a passage lever is going in?
Only if the opening actually needs access control. The Pamex FLU Calypso is a non-keyed passage set with both levers always free, so it holds the door shut and nothing more. A keypad lever such as the Lockey 1150 heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set, which fits 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors and is offered in a passage function, or the Delaney LP250 Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock, adds code entry and a deeper door prep. For a plain hall or closet door there is nothing for the code to control.
21) Does a knob set work as a substitute for a Calypso lever on the same door prep?
The Pamex FLU Calypso is a lever, which is the usual choice where ADA-style operation matters because it does not require grasping or twisting. Knob equivalents in the same cylindrical family include the Arrow MK02-TA Grade 1 privacy lock with a Tudor knob for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors and the Arrow HK11-BB Grade 2 turn-pushbutton entrance lock with a ball knob for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Both are keyed or locking functions rather than passage, so the trim style and the function both change.
