Schlage Residential FC21DMPCAM622DAWCAM – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How does the Schlage FC21 Dempsey/Dawes lock work as both passage and privacy?
The FC21 ships set up as passage, so both the Dempsey lever and the Dawes glass knob turn freely with no locking. To make it a privacy set, you insert the privacy pushbutton on the interior side. Once converted, it locks from inside and can be released from the outside with a small emergency unlock tool. That means one part number covers a hall or closet door and a bedroom or bath door, which is useful if you are buying for a whole house or a block of units and want to decide room by room at install.
2) Will the Schlage FC21 fit a 1-3/8 inch interior door, or does it need a 1-3/4 inch slab?
Either works. The FC21 covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, which spans older interior slabs and standard modern doors, so you do not need to order a separate thickness variant.
3) Do I need to know the backset before ordering the Schlage FC21?
No. The FC21 comes with a dual backset latch that adjusts to either a 2-3/8 inch or a 2-3/4 inch backset, the two backsets you will find on residential doors. One latch handles both, so a mixed building does not need two SKUs.
4) Will the Schlage FC21 latch drop into the existing strike on my door frame?
The FC21 uses a 1 inch by 2-1/4 inch faceplate with 1/4 inch radius corners and a 1 inch housing diameter, with a circular drive-in option included, so it goes into either a radius-corner mortised prep or a drilled drive-in bore. It ships with a full lip radius strike measuring 1-5/8 inch by 2-1/4 inch. If your frame has a square-corner strike cutout, the radius strike will not sit flush without rework.
5) What is a comparable residential passage lever if the Dempsey lever and Dawes glass knob combination is not wanted?
The Schlage FC21 is a non-keyed passage/privacy cylindrical lock with a Dempsey lever on one side and a Dawes knob on the other. For a straight lever-only passage set in the same Grade 3 residential class, the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever set covers a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door, the same door thickness range the FC21 accepts. If a Grade 2 lever-only passage set is preferred, the Falcon B101 is a non-handed Grade 2 cylindrical passage lever, matching the FC21's non-handed design.
6) What should be used instead of the Schlage FC21 on a commercial door that sees heavy traffic?
The FC21 is a Grade 2 residential cylindrical lock. For heavier commercial duty on a passage opening, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage cylindrical lock with a fire rating and a 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch door range, and the Dexter C1000 passage lever is Grade 1 with clutching and a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door range. The Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors.
7) If the opening only needs privacy and never passage, what is an alternative to the FC21?
The FC21 ships as passage by default and converts to privacy when the interior pushbutton is inserted, so a dedicated privacy set removes that step. The Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever set is a Grade 3 privacy lock for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, matching the FC21's door range. In Grade 2, the Hager 2540 is a privacy cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with the 5048 rose is another privacy option.
8) The door is thicker than 1-3/4 inches. What passage lever fits instead of the FC21?
The FC21 covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, so a thicker slab needs a different set. The Hager 2510 passage cylindrical lever with the Withnell design covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Arrow GL01 Grade 2 Sierra lever passage lock covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch.
9) The door needs to be locked with a key, not just a privacy button. What replaces the FC21?
The FC21 is non-keyed, so it cannot be keyed from the outside. For a keyed opening, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with a lever, the Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 entry/office lever, and the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever uses a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different with a 2-3/8 inch backset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same door range the FC21 fits.
10) Is handing an issue with the Schlage FC21 lever and knob set?
Non-handed. The FC21 installs on a left or right hand door without reversing anything, so you can stock one lock for the whole job. Note the trim is deliberately mixed: Dempsey lever on one face, Dawes glass knob on the other.
11) Is the Schlage FC21 rated for commercial corridor traffic?
It is a residential product, carrying ANSI/BHMA A156.2-2017 Grade 2 with a stainless steel substrate. That is fine for apartments, assisted living rooms and hospitality guest rooms, but for a commercial corridor or a school you want a Grade 1 cylindrical passage lock such as the Falcon K101 or the Corbin Russwin CL3110.
12) What rose options do I have to pick for the Dempsey lever and the Dawes knob?
Each side is specified separately. The Dempsey lever rose and the Dawes knob rose can each be Camelot, Century or Collins, in any combination, all in 622 Matte Black. That is nine buildable combinations, so you can either match both faces or run different roses on the corridor and room sides.
13) Can I use the Schlage FC21 on a fire-rated bedroom door?
A UL Listed 90 minute fire door version of the FC21 is offered. Do not assume any given configuration carries it, and never install a non-rated lock in a rated opening.
14) What is a good alternative to the Schlage FC21 if I want a straightforward lever-only passage set?
The Dempsey/Dawes FC21 pairs a lever with a glass knob, which is a design choice as much as a hardware one. For plain lever-both-sides passage, the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 residential passage lever with the same 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door range. Stepping up in duty, the Falcon B101 and the Accentra 5301LN Augusta are Grade 2 cylindrical passage levers. None of those convert to privacy the way the FC21 does, so for a bedroom or bath you would order a dedicated privacy set like the Kwikset 300BRNL or the Hager 2540.
15) What comes in the box with the Schlage FC21, and what else do I need to buy?
The set includes the Dempsey lever, the Dawes glass knob, the 16-600 dual-option spring latch (round faceplate or drive-in) and the 10-027 full lip radius strike. Screws and templates are provided; a screwdriver is the only tool required for the three-step install. Nothing else is needed on a door that is already bored, which makes it practical for a property manager doing a fleet swap without a locksmith.
16) Is the Schlage FC21 an option for a keypad or code-entry opening?
No. The FC21 is a mechanical, non-electronic lockset with no code entry. For code access on a lever, the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock, the Emtek Classic keypad leverset is an electronic option, and the Lockey 1150 is a mechanical keypad lever set with double combination passage function for 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
17) Can a dummy lever be used in place of the Schlage FC21 on a closet door?
No. The FC21 is a working cylindrical lockset with a latch, so it operates and latches the door. A dummy trim such as the BEST 7KC single dummy or the Accentra 455LN Augusta single dummy is a fixed pull with no latch mechanism, and the Emtek Arts and Crafts dummy pair and Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy levers are the same idea. Those suit a door held by a ball catch or a stationary inactive leaf, not an opening that needs a latching passage or privacy function.
18) What are the alternatives to the FC21 if a plain lever-on-both-sides look is wanted in Grade 2?
The FC21 pairs a Dempsey lever with a Dawes glass knob, so both sides do not match. For a matched lever appearance in Grade 2 passage, the Accentra 5301LN Augusta and Accentra 4601LN are both Grade 2 passage cylindrical lever locks, and the Bravura Atlanta, Orlando, and Tampa passage leversets are Grade 2 as well, with Tampa carrying square trim and Atlanta and Orlando round trim.
19) What Grade 3 passage lever is comparable to the Schlage FC21 for light-traffic interior doors?
The FC21 carries a Grade 2 rating for residential interior use. On lighter-traffic interior openings, the Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel, and the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 passage lever set covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same range the FC21 accepts. The Kwikset 200DL Delta passage lever is reversible with an adjustable 6AL latch and RCS strike.
