Schlage B561P 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can you unlock a Schlage B561 deadbolt from the inside of the door?
No, and that is the whole point of the B561. It is thrown and retracted by key only, with a blank plate on the interior face, so there is nothing to turn from inside. The bolt automatically deadlocks when fully thrown. Use it on doors nobody is meant to be behind: storage rooms, mechanical and electrical rooms, equipment closets, service gates. If a person can be inside that space, specify a different function in the same B500 range instead: the B560 is thumbturn by cylinder, and the B563 classroom deadbolt lets the thumbturn retract the bolt but not throw it.
2) Will a Schlage B561 drop into the existing deadbolt hole and strike on my door?
Standard bored deadbolt prep, so usually yes. Housing diameter is 1 inch, the faceplate is 1 x 2-1/4 inches with square corners (latch 12-288), and the strike that ships with it is the 10-094 square corner at 1-1/8 x 2-3/4 inches, no box. The adjustable backset covers a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch bore without ordering a specific one. Where you have to pay attention is the frame: if it is prepped for an ANSI strike or a round corner face, those are separate options in the B Series rather than what comes standard, as are a thimble strike and a drive-in bolt.
3) Can I order the Schlage B561 less cylinder or prepped for a small format interchangeable core?
Four cylinder choices on the B561: P6 6-pin conventional in the C keyway, L less conventional cylinder, J FSIC less core, and B SFIC less core. The less core versions arrive without a core so you install your own. One thing to settle before you spec a facility on SFIC: the B500 Series certifies to ANSI/BHMA A156.5 Grade 2 with a conventional or FSIC cylinder, and Grade 3 with SFIC. Same lock body, the grade moves with the cylinder format, and if a drawing calls for Grade 2 the small format version will not satisfy it.
4) Can I put a B561 on my existing Schlage master key system?
Yes. The cylinder is a 6-pin solid brass conventional cylinder in the C keyway as standard, with S123 also offered, and factory master keying is available so the locks arrive cut to your system. Open and restricted keyway options are both there if you run key control. Two cut keys come with each lock. The series is also built to suite with nearly all Schlage and Von Duprin product, so these can sit on the same system as the levers and exit device cylinders already in the building. If you would rather pin them yourself, order the L less conventional cylinder version.
5) My spec calls for a Grade 1 keyed deadbolt with a blank plate inside. Is there one?
The B561 certifies to Grade 2, so it will not satisfy a Grade 1 spec. For the same cylinder outside, blank inside arrangement at Grade 1, look at the Corbin Russwin DL3011 in the DL3000 Series, listed for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors, or the DL3211 for 1-3/4 inch doors. Both are cylindrical deadlocks keyed from one side with a blank plate on the other. Where the Schlage still wins is thin doors: with a conventional cylinder it starts at 1-3/8 inches, below where either Corbin Russwin begins.
6) I need a deadbolt with a blank plate outside and a thumbturn inside. Is the B561 that lock?
Other way around. The B561 puts the cylinder outside and the blank plate inside. For blank outside and thumbturn inside, the Arrow E60 exit deadlock is exactly that configuration, Grade 2, for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. Staying with Schlage, the keyless functions in the same B500 range cover it: the B580 door bolt is a thumbturn with no exterior trim at all, and the B581 is a thumbturn with a blank rose on the outside face.
7) What other manufacturers build a deadbolt that is key operated on one side with a blank plate on the other, like the Schlage B561?
The Schlage B561 is thrown and retracted by key only, with a blank plate on the inside face. Corbin Russwin builds the same cylinder x blank arrangement in a cylindrical deadlock in three families: the DL3211 in the DL3200 series and the DL3011 in the DL3000 series, both Grade 1, and the DL2211 in the DL2200 series, also Grade 1. Arrow's E61 deadlock is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadlock furnished with SFIC prep less core. The B561 itself is Grade 2 with an adjustable 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset.
8) The door measures 2-1/4 inches thick. What keyed deadbolt covers it if the Schlage B561 does not?
The Schlage B561 covers 1-3/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors with a conventional cylinder and 1-5/8 to 2 inch doors with SFIC, so a 2-1/4 inch door falls outside both ranges. The Corbin Russwin DL3011 is a Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock with the same cylinder x blank arrangement and lists a door thickness range of 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch. If the opening is a straight 1-3/4 inch door, the Corbin Russwin DL3211 and DL2211 are both listed at 1-3/4 inch.
9) I need the occupant to lock and unlock from inside without a key, but keep the same key. What takes the place of the Schlage B561?
The Schlage B561 has no inside operation at all - key only, blank plate on the reverse face - and its cylinder is a 6-pin conventional in the C keyway. Two Hager deadbolts put a thumbturn on the inside and list the Schlage C keyway, so they take the same key section: the 3115, a Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the 3118, a Grade 1 classroom deadbolt with a 6-pin cylinder over the same door range. Confirm keying with the key system before ordering.
10) Our building is keyed on interchangeable cores. Which deadbolts ship less core besides the Schlage B561?
The Schlage B561 is ordered less core three ways: B for SFIC less core, J for FSIC less core, and L for less conventional cylinder. Note that the B500 deadbolts are ANSI/BHMA A156.5 Grade 2 with a conventional or FSIC cylinder and Grade 3 with SFIC. Cross brand, the Arrow E61 is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadlock with SFIC prep less core for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors; the Deltana CL200LAIC is a Grade 2 interchangeable core deadbolt less cylinder with a 2-3/4 inch backset; the Delaney LM Series less core deadbolt is Grade 1 in US26D. The Arrow keeps the keyed-one-side arrangement, while the Deltana and Delaney are cylinder x thumbturn.
11) Which deadbolts carry a fire rating for a labeled opening if the Schlage B561 is being considered?
The Schlage B561 belongs to the B500 Series, which offers optional UL 10B and UL 10C listing as auxiliary locks, identified by the letter F and the UL symbol on the latch front, so the rated version has to be specified rather than assumed. Among comparable deadbolts, the Hager 3215 is a Grade 2 commercial deadbolt with a 1 inch throw listing a fire rating, as do the Hager 3115 and the Hager 3214, all over a 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door range. The Cal-Royal CRB800 is a Grade 1 heavy duty single cylinder deadbolt with a UL 3-hour fire rated latch.
12) Is the Arrow E60 exit deadlock the same thing as the Schlage B561?
No, they are mirror images of each other. The Arrow E60 is a Grade 2 non-keyed exit deadlock in blank plate x thumbturn for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, so the turn is on the occupied side and the blank plate faces out with no cylinder anywhere. The Schlage B561 is the opposite: the bolt is thrown and retracted by key only and the blank plate is on the inside. Ordering one for the other leaves the opening either without key control or without inside operation.
13) Does the Schlage B561 deadbolt lock the door by itself, or do I still need a lockset on it?
You still need a lockset. This is an auxiliary deadbolt: a key-operated bolt with a blank plate inside, no lever, no knob, no latchbolt. Nothing holds the door in the frame until someone throws the bolt with a key, and the UL listing on the B500 Series is written for it as an auxiliary lock alongside a primary lock. On a storeroom or mechanical room the usual build is a cylindrical lockset or passage set for the handle, with this deadbolt doing the actual securing.
14) Can a Schlage B500 deadbolt go on a fire rated door?
UL 10B and UL 10C listing is an option on the B500 Series, as an auxiliary lock, with 3 hour fire rated options available. It has to be ordered that way, it is not standard on every configuration. On the job you can tell a listed one by the latch front: the letter F and the UL symbol are stamped there. Fire rated latch options are called out separately from the standard adjustable bolt, along with a 5 inch fixed backset.
15) Is there a Grade 2 deadbolt prepped for SFIC less core, since the Schlage drops to Grade 3 with a small format core?
That grade change is real: the B500 Series is Grade 2 with a conventional or FSIC cylinder and Grade 3 with SFIC. If the drawing requires Grade 2 and the building runs small format cores, the Arrow E61 in 26D is listed as a Grade 2 single cylinder deadlock with SFIC prep less core, for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. The other route is to stay with Schlage and order the J FSIC less core version, which keeps the Grade 2 certification while still taking a removable core.
16) How does the B561 deadbolt hold up against forced entry on a wood frame?
The frame reinforcement is the part that matters on wood: a metal dust box anchors deep into the jamb with three 3 inch screws, which is what resists a kick. On the door side the bolt is solid zinc with a hardened steel anti-saw pin insert and measures 0.81 x 0.62 x 1 inch throw. The cylinder collar spins free so a wrench or pry bar gets no purchase, the trim ring is 1 inch wrought brass or bronze reinforced with a security insert, and a removable security shield sits over the bolt against an ice pick worked through the door gap. Schlage rates the series medium duty, commercial.
17) Do these deadbolts come in a finish that matches the rest of my Schlage and Von Duprin hardware?
Eleven finishes on the B500 Series: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 609 antique brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, 626AM satin chrome antimicrobial, and 643E aged bronze. The series is made to suite with nearly all Schlage and Von Duprin product, so a 626 deadbolt lands with the 626 levers and exit device trim already on the building. The finishes are weather resistant for interior and perimeter openings. In healthcare, 626AM is the one to call out where touch surfaces carry an antimicrobial requirement.
18) Is the Schlage B500 Series deadbolt Buy American Act compliant for a federal or government job?
Yes, the B500 Series is a BAA compliant product, which is the box that has to be ticked on federal work and on a lot of state and municipal contracts written to the same language. Allegion publishes a BAA compliance catalog covering the line if your submittal needs the documentation attached.
19) I want the same Schlage key but with a thumbturn inside. What are my options?
Inside the range, the B560 is the thumbturn by cylinder function and the B563 classroom deadbolt lets the thumbturn retract but not throw the bolt, both on the same B500 body and the same key system. From other brands, the Hager 3115 is a Grade 2 cylinder by thumbturn deadbolt built for the Schlage C keyway across 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 3118 is the Grade 1 classroom version with a Schlage C keyway 6-pin cylinder, also 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch. Both Hagers carry a fire rating. Any of them will take the same C keyway keys the B561 uses.
20) What if I want a key on both sides instead of the blank inside plate of the Schlage B561?
The Schlage B561 is keyed on one face with a blank plate opposite. For a key on both faces, the Hager 3214 is a Grade 2 double cylinder deadbolt listed with the Schlage C keyway and a 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door range, which matches the B561 6-pin C keyway cylinder for key section. The Dexter DB2000-DCT is a Grade 2 double cylinder over the same 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch range, and the Delaney LU Series double cylinder is Grade 2 in stainless steel US32D. Check local egress requirements for the opening before specifying double cylinder.
21) I want the inside to retract the bolt but not throw it. Which deadbolts are classroom function instead of the Schlage B561?
The Schlage B561 is key only in both directions with a blank plate on the inside, so nothing on the inside face operates the bolt. For classroom function, the Falcon D211 is a Grade 2 medium duty classroom deadbolt with single cylinder operation in the D200 Series, and the Falcon D111 is the Grade 1 heavy duty D100 Series version with adjustable backset. The Hager 3118 is a Grade 1 classroom deadbolt with a 6-pin cylinder in the Schlage C keyway, matching the B561 key section, and the Corbin Russwin DL2211 is a Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock listed in classroom function for 1-3/4 inch doors.
22) The door is only prepped on one face. Is a one-sided deadbolt an alternative to the Schlage B561?
The Callan 205S is a Grade 3 one-sided half-bore deadbolt, prepped into one face of the door rather than through it. The Schlage B561 is a bored deadbolt that takes a 1 inch housing diameter latch with a 1 by 2-1/4 inch faceplate and carries the blank plate on the opposite face, so it needs prep on both sides of the door. If the second face is already finished or the door cannot be bored through, the one-sided Callan is the different prep; if the through bore exists, the B561 keeps the Grade 2 rating and the adjustable 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset.
23) The door has no cross bore, or it takes a mortise case. What deadbolt goes in instead of the Schlage B561?
The Schlage B561 is a bored deadbolt using a 1 inch housing diameter latch on an adjustable 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, so it needs a bored door. For a surface application, the Codelocks CL200 is a light duty surface deadbolt with key override. For a mortise pocket, the Dormakaba D900 is a small case mortise deadbolt in cylinder x thumbturn with a D cylinder, keyed different, in SC keyways, which matches the B561 C keyway key section. The Emtek 2050 and 2051 are European mortise deadbolts with an integrated roller latch, in square and round trim.
24) The deadbolt I am replacing has a 5 inch backset. Can I get a B500 to match?
Standard on the B561 is an adjustable bolt that sets to 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches, which covers almost every bored prep you will meet. A 5 inch fixed backset is offered as a separate option in the B500 Series for openings prepped that deep, so it has to be specified at order rather than adjusted on site. Measure from the door edge to the centre of the bore before you order, because the adjustable bolt will not reach 5 inches.
25) Is there a lighter duty deadbolt to use where the Schlage B561 is more lock than the opening needs?
The Schlage B561 is a Grade 2 medium duty deadbolt, keyed on one side with a blank plate opposite. Where a thumbturn on the inside is acceptable and the opening is lighter, the Cal-Royal ED500 is a Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolt with adjustable backset for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Cal-Royal LSD is Grade 3 with an ADA ergonomic thumbturn over the same door range, and the Callan 200S is a Grade 3 single cylinder with square trim. All three change the function from key-only to cylinder x thumbturn, so the inside can operate the bolt.
26) Can the Arrow 460 strike be used with the Schlage B561?
No. The Arrow 460 is a mortise lock strike for latchbolt and deadbolt functions with a straight lip, cut for a mortise case. The Schlage B561 is a bored deadbolt supplied with the 10-094 strike, a square corner strike with no box measuring 1-1/8 by 2-3/4 inch, working against a 1 inch housing diameter deadbolt latch with a 1 by 2-1/4 inch faceplate. The two are prepped into different frames and are not interchangeable.
27) We want to drop keys and go to a code or credential. What electronic deadbolts sit alongside the Schlage B561?
The Schlage B561 is fully mechanical, with a 6-pin conventional cylinder in the C keyway and two keys per lock. For credential or code access, the Delaney KP400 is a Grade 2 electronic deadbolt with a programmable remote, the Codelocks CL2200 is a medium duty electronic surface deadbolt in brushed steel, and the Dormakaba Saffire LX-D is an RFID electronic deadbolt with BLE and electronic lock override. The Codelocks CL2200 mounts to the door surface rather than into a bored deadbolt prep, so the door preparation differs from the B561.
