Schlage B561FP 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Schlage B561F deadbolt have a thumbturn on the inside?
No thumbturn. The B561F is key outside, blank plate inside, so the bolt is thrown and retracted by key only and there is no way to operate it from the interior without a key. That makes it a deadbolt for storerooms, mechanical rooms, gates to unoccupied space, or a door where you specifically do not want the bolt worked from inside. If someone can be behind the door, you need a thumbturn function instead: the B560 is thumbturn x cylinder, and the B563 classroom deadbolt lets the inside thumbturn retract only.
2) Is the Schlage B561F fire rated for use on a labeled door?
Yes. The F in B561F means the latch front carries the letter F and the UL symbol, which is Schlage's marking for the UL listed fire rated version. The B500 Series carries UL 10B/UL 10C listing as an auxiliary lock, up to 3-hour fire rated options, and the fire rated latch supplied here is the 12-294, adjustable 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset with a 1 x 2-1/4 inch square corner front. Remember the listing is as an auxiliary lock, so the opening still needs its primary fire rated latching device.
3) Will a Schlage B561F fit a door already bored for a 2-3/8 inch backset?
Yes, and for 2-3/4 inch too. The latch backset is adjustable between 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inches with a lock-in-place helix design, so one part covers both of the standard residential and commercial bores without ordering a specific backset. Those are the two backsets you will find on nearly every bored door in North America.
4) What door thickness does the Schlage B500 deadbolt work on?
1-3/8 to 1-7/8 inches with a conventional cylinder, which covers standard 1-3/4 inch commercial doors and older 1-3/8 inch interior doors. Order the SFIC version instead and the range shifts to 1-5/8 to 2 inches, so a thick door pushes you toward SFIC and a thin 1-3/8 inch door rules it out.
5) Will the B561F latch into the strike plate already in my frame?
The bolt throws a full 1 inch and the supplied strike is the 10-094, square corner, no box, 1-1/8 x 2-3/4 inches. If your existing frame prep is a square corner strike of that size, it drops in. Deeper protection comes from the metal dust box reinforcer with three 3 inch screws that anchor into the framing behind the jamb, so on a wood frame it is worth mortising for the box rather than reusing a shallow existing cutout. ANSI, round corner and thimble strike options are available if your frame is prepped differently.
6) Can I get the B561F to work on my building's existing Schlage keys?
Yes, in several ways. The standard build is a 6-pin solid brass conventional cylinder in the Schlage C keyway, and an S123 keyway is also offered. Keyed alike is available if you want a run of locks on one key, keyed different is the default, and factory master keying can be specified. Two cut keys ship with each lock. If your facility runs interchangeable core, order it less cylinder: B for SFIC less core, J for FSIC less core, or L for less conventional cylinder, and drop in the cores you already key.
7) What ANSI grade is the Schlage B561F, and does the SFIC version change it?
Grade 2 under ANSI/BHMA A156.5 with a conventional or FSIC cylinder. Spec it with an SFIC core and the certification drops to Grade 3, which matters if a spec sheet or a purchasing standard calls for Grade 2 minimum. The ANSI function designation is E0162. If a hard Grade 1 requirement is on the drawing, the Corbin Russwin DL3011 is a Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock in the same cylinder x blank arrangement, listed for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors.
8) Is a Schlage B561F a direct replacement for another brand's single cylinder deadbolt?
It depends on what the inside of the old lock looked like. The B561F is cylinder outside, blank plate inside, so it will not replace a cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt without changing how the door works for anyone inside. Same-arrangement swaps are the Corbin Russwin DL2211 and DL3211, both Grade 1 cylindrical deadlocks with cylinder x blank. If the lock coming out has a thumbturn, look at a cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt instead: the Hager 3115 is Grade 2 and comes in the Schlage C keyway, which keeps existing keys working, and the Arrow DBX61 is another Grade 2 option.
9) I need a deadbolt with a thumbturn inside instead of a blank plate - what should I order?
The Schlage B561F has a blank plate inside and is thrown or retracted by key only, so there is no inside operation at all. For a thumbturn on the inside, the Falcon D211 is a Grade 2 medium duty cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt, and the Hager 3215 is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt with a 1 inch throw for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. The Arrow DBX61 is another Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt. This is the decision that matters most on egress doors, where a blank inside plate will not let anyone out without a key.
10) What is the Grade 1 step up from a Schlage B561F deadbolt?
The Schlage B561F is ANSI/BHMA Grade 2. For a Grade 1 deadbolt on a commercial opening, the Corbin Russwin DL3011 keeps the same cylinder x blank function and covers doors 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. If the inside can carry a thumbturn, the Falcon D111 is a Grade 1 heavy duty classroom deadbolt with an adjustable backset, and the Dexter DB1000 single cylinder is Grade 1 for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch. The Accentra D111 is Grade 1 cylinder x thumbturn with a 2-3/8 inch backset for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch.
11) Which deadbolt do I use for a door that needs to be locked from both sides with a key?
The Schlage B561F takes a cylinder outside and a blank plate inside, so it is keyed from one side only. For key operation from both faces, the Hager 3214 is a Grade 2 double cylinder deadbolt on the Schlage C keyway for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the Dexter DB2000 double cylinder is Grade 2 over the same range, and the Design Hardware D1 is a Grade 1 extra heavy duty double cylinder for a 1-3/4 inch door. Double cylinder function is restricted by code on many egress doors, so confirm the opening allows it.
12) Is the Arrow E60 exit deadlock a substitute for a Schlage B561F?
No - the two are opposite functions. The Arrow E60 is a Grade 2 non-keyed exit deadlock in a blank plate x thumbturn arrangement for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch: the blank face is outside and the thumbturn is inside. The Schlage B561F reverses that, with the cylinder outside and the blank plate inside, thrown or retracted by key only. The E60 lets an occupant lock and unlock from the inside with no outside access; the B561F gives outside key access with no inside operation.
13) I want a deadbolt that takes an interchangeable core - what are my options besides the Schlage B561F?
The Schlage B561F is offered in SFIC less core and FSIC less core cylinder options as well as a 6-pin conventional cylinder. Among other brands, the Arrow E61 is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadlock prepped for SFIC less core, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Deltana CL200LAIC is a Grade 2 single deadbolt with interchangeable core prep, less cylinder, on a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Delaney LM Series is a Grade 1 single cylinder less core deadbolt in dull chrome. Ordering less core lets a locksmith drop in cores from a system already in place.
14) Which deadbolt fits a door thicker than 2 inches?
The Schlage B561F covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch with a conventional cylinder and 1-5/8 inch to 2 inch with SFIC. For a thicker leaf, the Corbin Russwin DL3011 is a Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock in the same cylinder x blank function rated for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. The Deltana 7312KA2 is a Grade 3 double cylinder deadbolt covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Measure the leaf before ordering, since a cylinder tailpiece cut for a thinner door will not reach.
15) What is the difference between a cylinder x blank plate deadbolt and a classroom deadbolt?
Both keep the inside from throwing the bolt, but they behave differently in an emergency. Cylinder x blank plate, the B561 arrangement, is key only from outside with a plain plate inside, so nobody inside the room can retract the bolt at all. A classroom deadbolt keeps a thumbturn that retracts only, so someone caught inside can get out but cannot lock the door. For a room people occupy, classroom is the function to spec: the B563 in this family, or the Falcon D211 Grade 2 classroom deadbolt, or the Grade 1 Falcon D111. Blank plate belongs on doors to spaces nobody stands behind.
16) How well does a Grade 2 Schlage B deadbolt hold up to forced entry?
The security package is heavier than most Grade 2 deadbolts. Solid zinc bolt with a hardened steel anti-saw pin, a free spinning cylinder collar that resists wrenching and prying, a removable security shield against ice-pick attack through the door, a 1 inch wrought brass or bronze trim ring reinforced with a security insert, and a metal dust box anchored with three 3 inch screws into the framing to fight kick-in. Duty level is medium. If the job genuinely calls for extra heavy duty, the Design Hardware D1 Series is a Grade 1 extra heavy duty deadbolt, though it is double cylinder rather than blank plate.
17) Will a Schlage B500 deadbolt match the lever locks and exit devices already in my building?
Yes. The B Series is built to suite with nearly all Schlage and Von Duprin product, and it pairs visually with Schlage, Von Duprin and LCN hardware for a consistent building-wide look. Eleven finishes are offered, from 605 bright brass and 606 satin brass through 613 oil rubbed bronze, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome and 643E aged bronze, so matching the existing 626 openings in a commercial building is straightforward. A 626AM satin chrome with antimicrobial coating is also available, which healthcare facilities often standardize on.
18) What do I need to specify when ordering a Schlage B561F?
Four decisions. Cylinder format: P6 for the 6-pin conventional C keyway cylinder, or B, J, or L to take it less core for SFIC, FSIC, or conventional respectively. Keying: keyed different is standard, keyed alike if a group of doors should share a key, or none if you are supplying cores. Keyway: C is the default, S123 is the alternative. Finish, one of eleven. If the job needs master keying or a restricted keyway, note it in the special cylinder and keying requirements field on the order.
19) Is the Schlage B500 deadbolt Buy American Act compliant for a government job?
Yes, the B Series deadbolts are BAA compliant product, which is what a federal or state procurement spec typically asks for. The thumbturn design across the series is also ADA compliant, though that point does not apply to the B561F because there is no thumbturn on it, just a blank plate inside.
20) Is an electronic deadbolt an alternative to a Schlage B561F?
They solve different problems. The Schlage B561F is a mechanical deadbolt with no electronics, operated by key. The Codelocks CL2200 is an electronic surface deadbolt rated medium duty, the Delaney KP400 is a Grade 2 electronic deadbolt with a programmable remote, and the Dormakaba Saffire LX-D is an RFID electronic deadbolt with BLE and electronic lock override. Those give credential-based access and code changes without rekeying; the B561F keys into an existing mechanical system and needs no power.
21) What is a lighter-duty deadbolt than a Schlage B561F for a low traffic interior door?
The Schlage B561F is a medium duty commercial deadbolt. Where the traffic does not call for that, the Cal-Royal ED500 is a Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolt with an adjustable backset for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Cal-Royal LSD is Grade 3 with an ADA ergonomic thumbturn over the same door range. The Callan Model 200S is a Grade 3 single cylinder square trim deadbolt. All three put a thumbturn inside rather than the blank plate the B561F carries, so confirm the inside face is what the opening needs before swapping.
22) What is the difference between a Schlage B561F and a classroom deadbolt?
A classroom deadbolt keeps an inside thumbturn that retracts the bolt but cannot throw it. The Falcon D111 is a Grade 1 heavy duty classroom deadbolt with an adjustable backset, the Falcon D211 is the Grade 2 medium duty classroom version, and the Hager 3118 is a Grade 1 classroom deadbolt on the Schlage C keyway. The Schlage B561F carries a blank plate inside instead, so the bolt moves by key only in both directions. Pick the classroom function where an occupant must be able to get out without a key, and the B561F where no inside operation is wanted.
23) Does the Arrow 460 strike work with a Schlage B561F?
The Arrow 460 is a mortise lock strike for latchbolt and deadbolt functions with a straight lip, sized for a 1-3/4 inch door - it is a strike, not a lock, and it serves a mortise case. The Schlage B561F is a bored deadbolt and comes with its own 10-094 square corner strike, 1-1/8 inch by 2-3/4 inch with no box. Bored and mortise preps are cut differently, so the two are not interchangeable at the frame.
24) What should I use instead of a Schlage B561F on a door with no room for a full bore?
The Callan Model 205S is a Grade 3 one-sided half-bore deadbolt, which takes a partial prep rather than a through bore. The Codelocks CL200 is a surface deadbolt with key override, mounted to the face of the door instead of into it. The Schlage B561F is a bored deadbolt with a 1 inch housing diameter and a metal dust box reinforcer, so it needs a full cross bore and an edge bore in the leaf.
25) What deadbolt should I use on a storefront or narrow stile door instead of a Schlage B561F?
The Schlage B561F is a bored deadbolt that needs a cross bore through the leaf, which a narrow stile will not accept. The Dormakaba D900 is a small case mortise deadbolt, cylinder x thumbturn, keyed different with SC keyways, and the Dormakaba M1960 is an M1000 Series single cylinder deadbolt, cylinder x thumbturn with no trim. The Emtek 2050 and 2051 are European mortise deadbolts with an integrated roller latch, in square and round trim. Mortise cases fit stiles too narrow for a bored prep.
26) Can I install a Schlage B561F on an exterior door that gets weather?
Yes. The B500 finishes are weather resistant and rated for interior and perimeter applications, and the series is a commercial product rather than a residential one. On an exterior opening the dust box and three 3 inch screws into the framing matter most, since that is what resists a kick, and the free spinning collar guards the cylinder against a wrench on the outside face.
27) Is a Baldwin or Emtek deadbolt the same thing as a Schlage B561F?
Those are decorative residential-style deadbolts rather than a commercial cylinder x blank lock. The Baldwin Reserve Contemporary Round and Contemporary Square are double cylinder deadbolts, the Emtek 8323 Modern Disc is a brass double cylinder deadbolt, and the Emtek #11 Tuscany is a lost wax cast bronze cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt. The Schlage B561F is a commercial Grade 2 deadbolt with a blank plate inside, offered in 11 architectural finishes including 626 satin chrome and 626AM satin chrome antimicrobial.
