Schlage Residential FC21DMPCAM622ELRCAM – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How does the Schlage FC21 Dempsey x Eller lever work as both a passage and a privacy lock?
Out of the box the FC21 operates as a passage set, both levers always free. To make it a privacy lock you insert the privacy pushbutton on the interior side, which lets the occupant lock the door from inside. From the corridor side it can still be released with a small emergency unlock tool, so a property manager or caregiver can get in. That means one part number covers hall/closet doors and bed/bath doors, decided at install rather than at the order.
2) Will the Schlage FC21 lever fit a 1-3/8 inch interior door, and does it work with a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset?
Door thickness range is 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, which covers both the older 1-3/8 inch interior slab and the standard 1-3/4 inch door. The latch is a dual backset design that adjusts to either 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches, so you do not have to know the bore centerline before you order. The lock is non-handed as well, so the same unit goes on a left or right hand door.
3) Will the FC21 latch into the strike plate already in my door frame?
The latch has a 1/2 inch throw with a 1 inch by 2-1/4 inch faceplate on a 1/4 inch radius corner, and a full lip radius strike measuring 1-5/8 by 2-1/4 inches ships in the box. If your frame already has a radius-corner strike of that size, the new latch drops into the existing mortise. Square corner frame prep is the one case where you will need to swap or file the strike cutout, since a radius faceplate leaves corners open.
4) What is a commercial-duty alternative to the Schlage FC21 Dempsey x Eller lever for a passage opening in a higher-traffic corridor?
The FC21 Dempsey x Eller is a Grade 2 residential cylindrical leverset. For commercial passage openings, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage cylindrical lock with non-handed levers, a fire rating, and a 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range, and the Falcon T101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever with pressure release technology. The Dexter C1000 passage lever is Grade 1 with clutching levers and covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same thickness range the FC21 fits.
5) What should I use instead of the Schlage FC21 on a 2 inch thick door?
The FC21 Dempsey x Eller covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, so a thicker slab needs a different lock. The Hager 2510 passage lever is rated 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever is built for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors.
6) Is the Schlage FC21 keyed, and does it come with keys?
No. The FC21 Dempsey x Eller is a non-keyed lock, passage with optional privacy conversion. There is no cylinder and no keyway to match to the rest of your building. If you need a keyed opening on the same door design, you want an entry or keyed-entrance function set instead.
7) What is the difference between the Dempsey and Eller levers on this Schlage set, and can I pick the rose shape?
Dempsey goes on the exterior side and Eller on the interior, so the corridor face and the room face look different by design. Rose shape is chosen per side: Camelot, Century, or Collins for the Dempsey lever, and the same three for the Eller lever, in any combination. Finish is 622 Matte Black. That is nine orderable rose pairings in total, which lets you match the rose already used on the other doors in a unit.
8) Is a Grade 2 lever like the Schlage FC21 enough for multi-family bedroom and bathroom doors?
For residential interior openings, yes. The FC21 is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.2-2017 Grade 2 and A156.39-2015 Residential Grade AAA, with a stainless steel substrate. Grade 2 is a medium-duty rating suited to apartment bedrooms, baths, closets and hall doors. For a high-traffic commercial corridor or a school, step up to a Grade 1 cylindrical passage set such as the Falcon K101 or the Dexter C1000 passage lever.
9) Can the Schlage FC21 be used on a fire rated door?
The FC21 is available UL Listed for 90 minute fire door applications, so the fire-rated configuration has to be specified rather than assumed. If the opening is rated and you want a lock whose fire rating is part of the base spec, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 passage lever and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock are both listed as fire rated in our records.
10) What comes in the box with the Schlage FC21 lever set, and what tools do I need to install it?
Both levers with the roses you specified, the 16-600 spring latch (round faceplate plus circular drive-in option, dual backset), and the 10-027 full lip radius strike. Mounting screws are part of the set. Installation is a three-step process needing only a screwdriver on a door already bored for a cylindrical lock. Nothing extra to order unless your frame needs a different strike.
11) Should I buy one dual-function lever or separate passage and privacy sets for a block of apartment doors?
A single FC21 order covers both, since it ships as passage and converts to privacy with the interior pushbutton. That is the case for standardizing one part across bedroom, bath, hall and closet doors in a unit. If you would rather keep functions separate on a spec, the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton is a dedicated Grade 3 passage lever and the 300BRNL Breton the matching Grade 3 privacy lever, both rated 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors like the FC21.
12) I only need a plain hall and closet lever, not privacy. What is a simpler option than the Schlage FC21?
The FC21 Dempsey x Eller ships as a passage lock with a privacy pushbutton you insert on the interior side to convert it. If you will never use the privacy side, a dedicated passage leverset is simpler: the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 medium duty non-handed passage lever, the Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 passage/closet lever, and the Hager 2510 Withnell is a Grade 2 passage lever covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
13) If I need a keyed lever on the same door instead of the non-keyed Schlage FC21, what are my options?
The FC21 Dempsey x Eller is non-keyed. For a keyed lever on a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door, the Cal-Royal AG00 is a Grade 2 entrance lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different on a 2-3/8 inch backset, the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt, and the Dexter C1000 classroom lever is a Grade 1 keyed clutching lever in the same thickness range.
14) Is a dummy lever like the BEST 7KC 1DT a substitute for the Schlage FC21?
No. The BEST 7KC 1DT is a single dummy trim lever, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta and Callan Bentley BN5051 are also dummy function - a dummy lever is fixed trim with no latch, used on inactive leaves and closet false doors. The FC21 Dempsey x Eller is a cylindrical lock with a live latch that operates as passage and converts to privacy with the interior pushbutton.
15) What is a comparable residential-grade bed and bath lever if I want separate passage and privacy locks rather than the convertible Schlage FC21?
The FC21 Dempsey x Eller handles both functions in one lock. To buy them separately for a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door, Kwikset offers the 200BRNL Breton passage lever and the 300BRNL Breton privacy lever, both Grade 3 in the same thickness range. Baldwin Estate 5103 with the 5048 rose is also offered as a passage lever and a privacy lever in matching trim.
16) For a bathroom or bedroom door where I want a knob rather than the FC21 lever, what privacy option matches?
The FC21 is a Dempsey lever by Eller lever set. For a knob on a privacy opening, the Arrow MK02-TA is a non-keyed privacy cylindrical lock with a Tudor knob, fire rated, sized for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors - confirm your slab thickness, since the FC21 covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch.
17) Is the Arrow GL01 Sierra passage lever a direct replacement for the Schlage FC21?
Not on every door. Both are Grade 2 non-keyed passage cylindrical locks, but the Arrow GL01 is listed for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors while the FC21 Dempsey x Eller fits 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The GL01 is passage only; the FC21 converts to privacy with an interior pushbutton and can be released from outside with a small emergency unlock tool.
18) Is the Schlage FC21 an electronic or keypad lock?
No, it is a purely mechanical cylindrical lever lock with no electronics, no battery and no wiring. If you need coded access on an interior opening, the Delaney LP250 electronic keypad leverlock and the Lockey 1150 mechanical keypad lever set are the alternatives we hold.
19) I want a decorative passage lever for a high-end interior instead of the Schlage FC21. What is comparable?
The FC21 Dempsey x Eller is a stainless steel substrate residential lever with Camelot, Century and Collins rose choices. On the decorative side, the Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever uses the 5048 rose, and Bravura offers Grade 2 passage leversets in Atlanta, Orlando and Miramar with round trim or Tampa with square trim.
