Schlage B581F 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Schlage B581F work on a door that has no exterior keyhole, just a blank plate outside?
That is exactly what the B581F is. The deadbolt is thrown and retracted by the interior turn unit only, and the outside face gets a blank plate with no cylinder and no key. The bolt automatically deadlocks when fully thrown. Use it where you want the door secured from inside and no key access from outside at all: back-of-house, stairwell, storage, or a door that only ever gets locked by someone standing inside it. If someone on the outside needs to get in with a key, this is the wrong function and you want a keyed model instead.
2) Is the Schlage B581F fire rated, and can I use it on a labeled fire door?
The F in B581F is the fire-rated build. The latch supplied is the 12-294 UL listed deadbolt latch, adjustable 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch, square corner, 1 x 2-1/4 inch face, 1 inch housing diameter. Schlage marks the listing with the letter F and the UL symbol on the latch front, and the B500 UL 10C 3-hour fire rated option is listed as an auxiliary lock, meaning it goes on a door that already has its own listed primary latching device. It does not make an unlatched door a fire door on its own.
3) Will the Schlage B581F latch into the strike that is already in my frame?
The bolt throws 1 inch out of a 1 inch diameter housing, and the strike that ships with it is the 10-094, square corner, 1-1/8 x 2-3/4 inches, no box. That is the common square-corner deadbolt strike footprint, so if your frame is already cut for a strike that size and the bolt lines up on 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, you are set. Frames prepped for an ANSI strike, round corner, or a thimble strike need the matching strike option ordered instead of the standard one.
4) Can I add a key cylinder to the Schlage B581F later, or do I need a different model?
No cylinder goes into a B581F, and there is no way to add one; the outside face is a blank plate and the lock is built non-keyed. Staying in the same B500 Series and the same door prep, the keyed functions are the B560 (thumbturn x cylinder), B561 (blank rose x cylinder), B562 (cylinder x cylinder) and the B563 classroom deadbolt where the thumbturn retracts only. Those accept conventional, FSIC and SFIC cylinder formats, with open and restricted keyways and factory master keying available. Note the door range shifts to 1-5/8 to 2 inches if you go SFIC.
5) Is the Schlage B581F a replacement for the main lock on the door, or does it go on in addition to one?
It is an auxiliary bolt, not a latching lockset. It has no latchbolt and no outside operation at all, so the door still needs a knob, lever, or exit device to latch and to let people through. Standard use is a deadbolt added above an existing lockset on a wood or hollow metal door with a 1-1/2 inch cross bore. On labeled fire doors the UL listing for the B500 Series is specifically as an auxiliary lock, which is the same arrangement: primary listed latching device plus this bolt.
6) What is the closest equivalent to the Schlage B581F if I need a non-keyed exit deadlock with a blank plate on the outside?
The Arrow E60 is the straight functional equivalent. Both are Grade 2 deadbolts with a blank plate on the outside and a thumbturn on the inside, so the door locks and unlocks only from the secure side with no keyway on the exterior. The Arrow E60 lists a door thickness range of 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Schlage B581F is a Grade 2 deadbolt with a blank plate x thumbturn function and an adjustable 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset.
7) Our spec calls for a Grade 1 deadlock rather than Grade 2. What should I quote instead of the Schlage B581F?
For a Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock, the Corbin Russwin DL3011 covers a 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range and the DL3211 is built for a 1-3/4 inch door, both cylinder x blank. The Design Hardware D1 Series is a Grade 1 extra heavy duty double cylinder deadbolt for a 1-3/4 inch door. The Schlage B581F is a Grade 2, medium duty deadbolt.
8) What deadbolt should I use for a fire door if I want a Grade 1 heavy duty unit?
The Cal-Royal CRB800 is a Grade 1 heavy duty single cylinder deadbolt with a UL 3-hour fire rated latch, cylinder x thumbturn. The Schlage B581F carries a fire rated latch as well - the standard latch is the 12-294 UL listed deadbolt latch, adjustable 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch, square corner, 1 inch by 2-1/4 inch - and it is a Grade 2 non-keyed unit rather than a keyed Grade 1.
9) Is a one-sided thumbturn deadbolt like the Schlage B581F secure enough on an exterior wood door?
With no outside cylinder there is nothing to pick or drill from the exterior, and the security package underneath is heavier than most Grade 2 bolts: a 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, and a metal dustbox that anchors into the wood frame with three 3 inch screws to resist kick-in. Those 3 inch screws matter more than the lock on a wood frame, since a kick-in usually fails the jamb, not the bolt.
10) What ANSI grade is the Schlage B581F deadbolt, and what duty is it rated for?
Grade 2 under ANSI/BHMA A156.5, medium duty, and Schlage's function designation for the blank rose by thumbturn build is E01112. Grade 2 is the normal commercial spec for multi-family unit doors, offices, and interior openings. If your spec sheet calls for Grade 1 on the deadbolt, look at the Corbin Russwin DL3011 or the Design Hardware D1 Series instead, both Grade 1 deadlocks, though those are keyed cylinder functions rather than a blank outside plate.
11) I need a non-keyed one-sided deadbolt. What is the difference between the Schlage B581F and the Arrow E60?
Both are blank plate by thumbturn deadbolts, non-keyed, and both are Grade 2. The Arrow E60 is listed for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors; the Schlage thumbturn-only build covers 1-3/8 to 1-7/8 inches, so it reaches thicker doors. The Schlage also comes in a fire-rated latch build (the F) and suites with other Schlage, Von Duprin and LCN hardware if you are keying and finishing a building as one package. If the opening is a plain 1-3/4 inch door and matching an existing Schlage suite is not a factor, the E60 covers the same function.
12) Does the Schlage B581F thumbturn meet ADA requirements for a unit door?
The B500 Series thumbturn design is ADA compliant, so the turn unit can be operated without tight grasping, pinching, or twisting of the wrist. On the B581F the turn is the only way the bolt moves, so the ADA-compliant turn is the whole user interface for the lock. The line is also Buy American Act compliant if you are on a federal or federally funded job.
13) I have a 3 inch or 5 inch backset door prep. Will the Schlage B581F still work?
The standard B581F latch adjusts to 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches only, so a deeper prep will not line up with it. The B500 Series does offer a 5 inch fixed backset option along with the fire-rated variants, so a 5 inch prep is handled by ordering that latch rather than the adjustable one. Anything other than 2-3/8, 2-3/4 or 5 inch is outside what this series covers.
14) I want a one-sided deadbolt but my door is only bored on one face. Is there an alternative to the Schlage B581F?
The B581F needs a full 1-1/2 inch cross bore through the door, since the bolt assembly passes through and picks up a trim ring on the outside face. If your door only takes a half bore, the Callan Model 205S is a Grade 3 one-sided half-bore deadbolt and is the type that suits that prep. On grade the two are not equivalent: the Schlage is Grade 2 with a fire-rated latch option, the Callan is Grade 3.
15) Is the Arrow E61 a substitute for the Schlage B581F?
No. The Arrow E61 is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadlock with SFIC prep less core, so it takes a small format interchangeable core and is keyed from the outside, on a door 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. The Schlage B581F is non-keyed with a blank plate on the exterior. The two share the deadlock family but not the function.
16) We need a classroom function deadbolt where the inside turn only retracts. What model does that?
The Falcon D211 is a Grade 2, medium duty classroom function deadbolt with single cylinder operation, and the Falcon D111 is the Grade 1 heavy duty classroom deadbolt with an adjustable backset. Hager also lists the 3118 as a Grade 1 classroom deadbolt with a Schlage C keyway and a 6-pin cylinder for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Schlage B581F is thrown and retracted by the turn unit only, with a blank plate outside.
17) Is a Baldwin Reserve double cylinder deadbolt an alternative to the Schlage B581F?
They solve different problems. The Baldwin Reserve Contemporary Round and Contemporary Square deadbolts are double cylinder units, keyed on both sides, so a key is required to unlock from the inside as well. The Schlage B581F is non-keyed with a thumbturn inside and a blank plate outside, an ADA compliant thumbturn design. On an egress door where a key on the inside is not acceptable, the double cylinder units do not swap in.
18) We key everything to Schlage C. Which deadbolts match that keyway?
Hager lists the 3115 Grade 2 cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt, the 3215 single cylinder with a 1 inch throw, and the 3214 Grade 2 double cylinder, all with a Schlage C keyway on doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Schlage B581F is non-keyed, so there is no keyway to match on it - it ships with a blank plate on the exterior side.
19) What finishes does the Schlage B581F deadbolt come in, and will it match the rest of my Schlage hardware?
Ten finishes: 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, and 643E aged bronze. Those are standard BHMA finish numbers, so 626 satin chrome matches 626 on your levers and closers regardless of which Allegion line they came from. The B500 Series is built to suite with nearly all Schlage and Von Duprin product for a consistent building-wide look.
20) What comes in the box with the Schlage B581F deadbolt?
The lock ships with the 12-294 fire-rated deadbolt latch adjustable to 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches, the 10-094 square corner strike at 1-1/8 x 2-3/4 inches with no box, and the metal dust box reinforcer with three 3 inch screws for the frame. The exterior side is a 1 inch wrought brass or bronze trim ring reinforced with a security insert. No keys or cylinder are included, because there is no cylinder on this function.
21) Is the Codelocks CL200 surface deadbolt the same kind of product as the Schlage B581F?
No. The Codelocks CL200 is a light duty surface deadbolt with key override, mounted to the face of the door rather than through a bore. The Schlage B581F is a medium duty bored deadbolt requiring a 1-1/2 inch cross bore prep in the door. A surface unit is the move when the door cannot be bored; it is not a drop-in for a bored prep.
22) Can I use an electronic deadbolt in place of a mechanical thumbturn deadbolt on the same door?
There are electronic options in the same deadbolt family. The Codelocks CL2200 is a medium duty electronic surface deadbolt, 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 electronic lock override. The Schlage B581F is not electronic - it is a mechanical thumbturn unit with no power or credential requirement.
