Schlage Residential FC21ELRCAM622DMPCAM – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Schlage FC21 Eller x Dempsey lever be used as both a passage and a privacy lock?
Yes, and the choice is made at install, not at order. The FC21 ships as passage by default. To make it a privacy lock, you insert the privacy pushbutton on the interior side of the lock. From the outside it can then be opened with a small emergency unlock tool, which is what you want on a bathroom or bedroom door. For a property manager stocking units, that means one part number covers hall, closet, bedroom and bath openings.
2) Will the Schlage FC21 lever fit a 1-3/8 inch interior door?
It will. The FC21 cylindrical lockset covers door thicknesses from 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, so it handles both older interior slabs at 1-3/8 and standard 1-3/4 inch doors with no spacer kit. It is also non-handed, so the same lock works on a left or right hand opening without reversing anything.
3) Do I need to know my backset before ordering the Schlage FC21 lever?
No. The FC21 comes with a dual backset latch that fits either a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, which are the two standard bores you will find on residential doors. The latch is a 16-600 spring latch supplied with both round and drive-in options, so you can match an existing faceplate prep or drive it into an unfaced bore.
4) Will the Schlage FC21 latch into the strike plate already in my door frame?
The latch throws 1/2 inch with a 1 inch by 2-1/4 inch faceplate with 1/4 inch radius corners, and the lock includes its own strike: a 10-027 full lip radius strike measuring 1-5/8 by 2-1/4 inches. If your existing strike is a radius corner full lip of that size, the new latch will engage it. If your frame has a square corner or T-strike prep, plan on swapping to the supplied strike and touching up the mortise.
5) Do I need separate passage and privacy locks for a hallway and a bathroom, or can the Schlage FC21 do both?
One part covers both. Stock the FC21 for the whole floor: leave it as passage on hall, closet and office doors, and insert the privacy pushbutton on the bedroom and bathroom doors. That cuts your SKU count, and the levers and rose look identical from door to door. Other brands split these into two models, for example the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage and the 300BRNL Breton privacy.
6) What is a comparable Grade 2 passage lever if the Schlage FC21 Eller x Dempsey is not the right trim style?
The Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 cylindrical passage lever lock with a non-handed design, medium duty, which lines up with the FC21's Grade 2 rating and non-handed build. The Accentra 5301LN Augusta is another Grade 2 cylindrical lever in passage/closet function. Both differ from the FC21 in that the FC21 is a residential product carrying Eller and Dempsey lever designs, with the passage default convertible to privacy by inserting a pushbutton on the interior side.
7) My door is 2 inches thick. Will the Schlage FC21 work, or do I need something else?
The FC21 covers door thicknesses of 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, so a 2 inch door falls outside it. The Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever with Withnell design covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Arrow GL01 Grade 2 passage lever with Sierra lever covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. For Grade 1 on that thickness, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 passage lever covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch.
8) If I need a keyed lever on the same opening instead of the FC21, what do I order?
The FC21 is non-keyed, so for a keyed opening look at an entrance or storeroom function. 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, fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt on the same door range. The Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial entry lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
9) Is there a dedicated privacy lever instead of converting the FC21 with a pushbutton?
Yes. The Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton is a Grade 3 privacy leverset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with 5048 rose is the decorative option. The FC21 arrives as passage by default and becomes privacy when the pushbutton is inserted on the interior side, which lets one part number cover both functions across a floor of bedrooms and hall closets.
10) What do I have to specify when ordering the Schlage FC21 Eller x Dempsey lock?
Three choices. Finish is 622 matte black. Then you pick the rose design separately for each lever: the Eller side and the Dempsey side each take Camelot, Century or Collins rose, and they do not have to match. That gives nine combinations in all, so you can run one rose style on the corridor side and another inside the room.
11) Is the Schlage FC21 a keyed lock?
No. The FC21 is a non-keyed cylindrical lockset with no cylinder on either side. It does passage and, with the pushbutton inserted, privacy. If you need a keyed opening such as an entry, office or storeroom door, this is the wrong function and you should look at a keyed lever instead.
12) Is the Schlage FC21 lever strong enough for multi-family or hospitality use?
It is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.2-2017 Grade 2 and to A156.39-2015 Residential Grade AAA, with a stainless steel substrate. That is a residential-duty lock, suitable for apartment interiors, guest rooms and assisted living unit doors. For a high-traffic commercial corridor or a school, a Grade 1 lever such as the Falcon K101 or the Dexter C1000 passage is the heavier option.
13) What is a good commercial-duty alternative to the Schlage FC21 passage lever?
If the opening is commercial rather than residential, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever that covers 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch doors, a wider thickness range than the FC21's 1-3/8 to 1-3/4. The Dexter C1000 passage is also Grade 1 with clutching levers over 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. Staying at Grade 2, the Falcon B101 and Accentra 5301LN Augusta are passage levers in the same grade class as the FC21.
14) What tools and parts do I need to install the Schlage FC21 lever?
A screwdriver covers the assembly once the door is prepped. The FC21 is a three-step install using a standard cylindrical bore, and the latch and strike both come in the box: the dual-option latch and the 1-5/8 by 2-1/4 inch full lip radius strike. Because the lock is non-handed, there is nothing to reverse for a left or right hand door, and no separate handing part to order.
15) For a multi-family or assisted living project, is the FC21 the right choice or should I spec a commercial passage lever?
The FC21 is a residential Grade 2 stainless steel lock and is commonly used on multi-family units, bedrooms and baths, and assisted living doors, with a passage default that converts to privacy. If the specification calls for commercial heavy duty, the Falcon K101 is Grade 1 heavy duty and fire rated, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is Grade 1 vandal resistant in passage/closet function. The Design Hardware X75 is a Grade 1 passage lever with a flat lever for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the J75 is the Grade 2 flat lever equivalent.
16) What is the closest residential alternative to the Schlage FC21 lever if I want a lower grade option?
The Kwikset 200BRNL RDT Breton passage lever is Grade 3 and covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the same thickness range the FC21 handles, and Kwikset's matching 300BRNL RDT Breton is the Grade 3 privacy version. Callan's Asheville leverset is a Grade 3 passage lever in satin nickel. The FC21 differs in that it is Grade 2 and one lock covers both passage and privacy, with the pushbutton inserted on the interior side to convert it.
17) Is a dummy lever a substitute for the Schlage FC21 on a closet door?
No. A dummy trim has no latch and no operating mechanism - it is a pull only. The BEST 7KC single dummy trim is Grade 2 non-keyed, the BEST 9K 1DT is Grade 1 heavy duty, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 single dummy. Use one of those on a door held shut by a ball catch or roller. The FC21 is a cylindrical lockset that ships with a 16-600 spring latch and a 10-027 full lip radius strike and actively latches the door.
18) I want a decorative lever for a residence rather than the Schlage FC21. What are the options?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 line is the decorative route and is sold by function: 5103 passage, 5103 privacy, and left or right hand half dummy versions, all with the 5048 rose. Emtek's Arts and Crafts and Hammered leversets and the Classic Cortina lever are offered as dummy pairs. Note the Baldwin half dummies are handed, while the FC21 is non-handed and covers passage and privacy in a single Grade 2 lock.
19) Does anything comparable to the FC21 offer keyless code entry instead of a key or pushbutton?
For code entry, the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock and the Emtek Classic keypad leverset is a decorative keypad option; the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set in passage function covering doors 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch with no batteries. The Schlage FC21 is not electronic - it is a mechanical passage lever that converts to privacy with an interior pushbutton and opens from outside with a small emergency unlock tool.
20) What passage lever alternatives to the FC21 come in a decorative round or square rose?
Bravura's Grade 2 passage leversets give you a trim choice: the Atlanta and Orlando come with round trim and the Tampa with square trim, and the Miramar with round trim is offered in US4 satin brass. Each is a Grade 2 passage/hall/closet leverset, matching the FC21's Grade 2 rating. The FC21 differs in offering Camelot, Century, and Collins rose designs selectable independently for the Eller and Dempsey levers, plus the privacy pushbutton conversion.
21) Is the Schlage FC21 lever an electronic or keypad lock?
No, it is a purely mechanical cylindrical leverset with no electronics, no battery and no keypad. If you want code entry on an interior door, the Delaney LP250 electronic keypad leverlock or the Lockey 1150 mechanical keypad lever set are the keypad options.
