Schlage Residential FC21DMPCAM622HOBCAM – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Schlage FC21 Dempsey lever be used as both a passage and a privacy lock?
Yes, and that is the point of the FC21. It ships functioning as passage, with no locking. To make it a privacy set, you insert the privacy pushbutton on the interior side of the lock. From outside, a small emergency unlock tool releases it when it is locked, so a bathroom or bedroom can still be opened from the hall. That means one part number covers hall/closet openings and bed/bath openings on the same job.
2) Will the FC21 fit a 1-3/8 inch interior door, or does it need a 1-3/4 inch door?
Either one. The FC21 covers door thicknesses from 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, which spans older residential interior doors at 1-3/8 and standard 1-3/4 inch doors. No spacer kit or thickness-specific part to order.
3) My doors are bored 2-3/8 inch backset and some are 2-3/4 inch. Do I have to order two versions?
No. The FC21 comes with a dual backset latch that adjusts to either a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, so the same lock goes on both. Those are the two standard residential backsets, so a mixed building is covered with one SKU.
4) Will the FC21 latch work in my existing strike, or do I need to re-mortise the frame?
The FC21 includes a 1 x 2-1/4 inch faceplate with 1/4 inch radius corners, a 1 inch latch housing diameter and a 1/2 inch throw, plus a 1-5/8 x 2-1/4 inch full lip radius corner strike. If the frame already has a radius corner strike prep at that size, it drops in. Square corner preps will need filing or a square strike plate. The 1/2 inch throw is standard for a residential cylindrical latch, so strike depth is not usually the issue, alignment is.
5) Is the Schlage FC21 rated for a fire door?
Fire door use depends on the specific configuration. The FC21 is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.2-2017 Grade 2 and A156.39-2015 Residential Grade AAA, and is available UL Listed for 90 minute fire doors. If the opening is fire rated, order the UL Listed version rather than assuming a standard set qualifies.
6) Does the Schlage FC21 take a key or a cylinder?
No key. The FC21 is a non-keyed set, so there is no cylinder to key or to suite into a master system. Security on the interior side comes from the privacy pushbutton only. For a keyed opening you need an entrance or storeroom function lock, not this one.
7) My doors are 2 inches thick. Will the FC21 work?
No. The FC21 tops out at 1-3/4 inch doors. For thicker leaves, look at a lock rated past that range, such as the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever at 1-3/8 to 2 inches or the Falcon K101 at 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches.
8) What is a comparable residential passage lever if I do not want the glass knob on the interior side?
The Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever set is a lever-both-sides residential passage lock rated Grade 3 with a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range, so it covers the same interior door thicknesses as the Schlage FC21 Dempsey lever x Hobson knob, which is Grade 2. The FC21 pairs a lever on one side with a glass knob on the other; the Breton is a matched lever on both sides.
9) If the door is a bedroom or bath that always needs to lock, is there a dedicated privacy lock instead of a convertible one?
Yes. The Kwikset 300BRNL Breton is a dedicated privacy/bed/bath lever set, Grade 3, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with 5048 rose is another privacy-function option. The Schlage FC21 Dempsey lever x Hobson knob ships as passage by default and becomes privacy only when the pushbutton is inserted on the interior side, so a dedicated privacy lock removes that step.
10) What should I specify instead for a commercial corridor or school door that this residential lock is not intended for?
Move to a Grade 1 cylindrical passage lock. The Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever lock fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch and is fire rated, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage/closet lever lock, fire rated, for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. The Schlage FC21 Dempsey lever x Hobson knob is a Grade 2 residential lock.
11) Do I need to specify handing for the Schlage FC21?
No. The FC21 is non-handed, so the same lock goes on a left or right hand door with no field reversal step. Worth knowing on a multi-unit job where you do not want to survey every opening before ordering.
12) What is the difference between the Dempsey lever side and the Hobson knob side on this Schlage set?
It is a split-trim set: the Dempsey lever goes on one face and the Hobson glass knob on the other. Buyers usually run the lever on the corridor or approach side for easier operation and the glass knob inside the room for looks. You choose the rose style separately for each side, so the lever and knob do not have to match.
13) Is a Grade 2 residential lock like the FC21 enough for apartment turns and assisted living rooms?
For interior bedroom, bath, closet and guest room doors in multi-family or assisted living, Grade 2 with a stainless steel substrate is the normal spec, and the FC21 is built to that. What it is not is a heavy duty commercial set for corridor and traffic doors. If the opening is high cycle commercial, step up to a Grade 1 passage set such as the Falcon K101 or the Dexter C1000 passage lever instead.
14) I only need a plain hall or closet passage lever, not privacy. Is there a simpler alternative to the FC21?
If you never want the locking option, a straight passage leverset is less hardware to stock. Comparable Grade 2 passage levers include the Falcon B101, the Accentra 5301LN Augusta, and the Bravura Atlanta or Orlando round trim leversets. The FC21 makes sense when you want one lock that can be passage today and privacy later with the pushbutton.
15) For a closet or double door that only needs a pull, can I use this lock without the latch?
No - use a dummy trim instead. The Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever, the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy is offered in left hand and right hand versions with the 5048 rose, and the BEST 7KC single dummy trim is a Grade 2 medium duty option. The Schlage FC21 Dempsey lever x Hobson knob is a working cylindrical latch set that operates in passage and privacy.
16) This is non-keyed - what do I order for the doors that need a key?
The Schlage FC21 Dempsey lever x Hobson knob is non-keyed. For keyed openings, the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever is a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different lever with a 2-3/8 inch backset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt over the same door range, and the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 entry lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
17) What looks like a substitute for this but will not actually work on a standard interior bedroom door?
Watch the electronic and institutional models. The Delaney LP250 is an electronic keypad leverlock and the Emtek Classic keypad leverset is code-operated, while the Schlage FC21 Dempsey lever x Hobson knob is a mechanical, non-electronic lock. The Arrow MK33-BD-CS is an asylum/institution/utility function with a Schlage C keyway cylinder, and the Dexter C1000 asylum F87 is the same family of function - both key both sides rather than offering a simple privacy pushbutton.
18) I want a matching decorative passage lever in a brass or estate style rather than matte black - what are my options?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever with the 5048 rose is a decorative passage-function lever, and the Bravura Miramar with round trim is a Grade 2 passage leverset in US4 satin brass. The Schlage FC21 Dempsey lever x Hobson knob is offered in 622 matte black with Camelot, Century, and Collins rose choices for each side.
19) Is there a passage lever with a clutching mechanism for a high-traffic residential corridor?
The Dexter C1000 passage cylindrical lever lock is Grade 1, non-keyed, clutching, and fits 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same door range the Schlage FC21 Dempsey lever x Hobson knob covers. The Falcon T101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever with pressure release technology. The FC21 is a Grade 2 lock with a stainless steel substrate.
20) What rose and finish choices are there on the FC21 Dempsey lever and Hobson knob set?
Finish is 622 Matte Black. Each side takes its own rose: Camelot, Century or Collins for the Dempsey lever, and the same three for the Hobson knob, in any combination. Nine combinations in total, so you can match the rose profile already on your other openings on the lever side and still run a different look inside.
21) What is involved in installing the FC21 on a door that is already bored?
On a standard bored door it is a screwdriver job. The latch is a universal design that works as a round faceplate latch or a circular drive-in, so you can use whichever the existing prep takes, set the backset to 2-3/8 or 2-3/4, fit the latch, then mount the lever and knob chassis and check that both passage and the privacy pushbutton operate before hanging the trim.
22) Is the Schlage FC21 electronic or does it need any wiring?
Purely mechanical. The FC21 is a non-electronic cylindrical lock with no power, wiring or batteries involved. If the opening needs code access, a keypad set such as the Delaney LP250 or the Lockey 1150 mechanical keypad lever is the different product category to look at.
