Schlage Residential FC21 AND 716 ALD – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the FC21 Andover a passage lock or a privacy lock? I need bedrooms and a hall closet.
It does both, and you decide at install. Out of the box the FC21 Andover knob is passage, which is what you want on the hall closet. Insert the privacy pushbutton on the interior side and the same lock becomes a bedroom or bath privacy set. That means one part number covers both jobs on a unit turn, instead of stocking two.
2) If a kid locks himself in the bathroom, can you get a Schlage FC21 privacy knob open from the hallway?
Yes. With the privacy pushbutton in place, the FC21 can be released from the outside with a small emergency unlock tool. That is the standard bed and bath arrangement and it is why this knob is usable on bathroom doors in rental and multi-family units where staff need to get in.
3) Will the FC21 latch drop into my existing strike, or do I have to change the strike plate?
The latch throws 1/2 inch and the faceplate is 1 x 2-1/4 inch with 1/4 inch radius corners, which is the common residential prep. If your door already has a radius corner faceplate of that size and a full lip strike, it drops in. A 1-5/8 x 2-1/4 inch radius corner full lip strike ships with the lock anyway, so you can replace the frame plate if the old one is square corner or worn. A circular drive-in latch option is included too, for doors bored without a faceplate mortise.
4) Can I use a Schlage FC21 knob on a keyed entry or exterior door?
No. The FC21 Andover is a non-keyed lock, so it takes no cylinder and no key. It is for interior openings only, passage or privacy. For a keyed exterior or office door you want an entrance function lockset, for example the Hager 2525 Grade 2 cylindrical entry lock or the Arrow RL Series HK11 turn-pushbutton entrance knob, both of which cover the same 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door range.
5) I need levers, not knobs, for accessibility on interior doors. What is the equivalent to the Schlage FC21?
The FC21 Andover is a knob, so if your job calls for lever trim you need a different set. In residential Grade 3, the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever covers the same 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door range, with the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever as its bed and bath partner. For a Grade 2 lever, the Falcon B101 passage lever is non-handed like the FC21, and the Hager 2510 passage lever runs 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors.
6) Which passage lock should I use instead of the Schlage FC21 Andover on a 2 inch thick door?
The FC21 Andover knob fits doors from 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, so a 2 inch door falls outside it. The Hager 2510 passage lever lock is rated 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Arrow GL01 passage lock with Sierra lever is rated 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon K101 passage lock runs 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. All three are cylindrical passage/hall/closet locks; the Hager 2510 and Arrow GL01 are Grade 2 like the FC21, and the K101 is Grade 1 with a fire rating.
7) What is the closest non-keyed passage substitute for the Schlage FC21 Andover if the opening needs a lever instead of a knob?
The Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 cylindrical passage lock with a non-handed lever, so it covers the same passage/hall/closet function as the FC21 Andover with lever trim in place of the Andover knob. The Accentra 5301LN Augusta is also a Grade 2 cylindrical passage/closet lever lock. Note the FC21 Andover is a dual-function part - passage by default, converted to privacy with the interior pushbutton - while the B101 and 5301LN are passage only, so bedroom and bath openings need a separate privacy lock in those lines.
8) What is the heavier duty alternative to a Grade 2 Schlage FC21 for a multi-family corridor or commercial interior door?
The FC21 Andover is a Grade 2 residential lock. For a heavier cycle rating on the same passage opening, the Falcon T101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage lever lock, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lock with a fire rating, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage/closet lever lock, also fire rated. The CL3110 is built for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, while the K101 covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, so on a 1-3/8 inch door the K101 is the one that still fits.
9) The FC21 Andover is non-keyed - what do I order if the same opening needs to lock with a key?
The FC21 Andover is a non-keyed passage and privacy lock, so it takes no cylinder. For a keyed opening in the same cylindrical format, the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever is Grade 2 with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different on a 2-3/8 inch backset and fits 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 thickness range, and the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial entry lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. Entrance function unlocks with a pushbutton or turn inside; storeroom stays locked outside at all times.
10) Is a dummy trim like the BEST 7KC 1DT a substitute for a Schlage FC21 passage knob?
No. The FC21 Andover is a working cylindrical passage lock with a latch that retracts when the knob turns, so it holds the door closed. The BEST 7KC 1DT single dummy trim and the Accentra 455LN Augusta single dummy are dummy function - fixed trim with no latch, pulled by hand on a door held by a catch or a ball. Use dummy trim on inactive or closet doors that are held some other way; use the FC21 Andover where the door has to latch.
11) I need a passage lock on a fire-rated door - does the Schlage FC21 Andover work, or is there a better fit?
The FC21 Andover is available UL Listed for 90 minute fire door use, so specify that when the opening is rated. If the door is thicker than the FC21 range of 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 fire rated passage lock covering 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 fire rated passage/closet lever for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. The Kwikset 200DL-RCALFD Delta passage lever carries a round corner adjustable 20 minute UL latch, which is a shorter rating than the 90 minute FC21 option.
12) Is a Grade 2 knob like the Schlage FC21 enough for apartment turns, or do I need Grade 1?
For interior bedroom, bath, hall and closet doors in apartments and condos, Grade 2 is the normal spec and the FC21 carries ANSI/BHMA A156.2-2017 Grade 2 plus A156.39-2015 Residential Grade AAA. Where you have a corridor or an amenity room taking commercial traffic, step up to a Grade 1 passage lever such as the Falcon K101 or the Corbin Russwin CL3110 vandal resistant passage lock instead.
13) What finishes and rose styles does the Schlage FC21 Andover knob come in?
Four combinations: 619 Satin Nickel or 716 Aged Bronze, each with an Alden or a Camelot rose. If you are matching a building already running Camelot trim on the entry sets, take the Camelot rose so the interior doors read the same. Satin nickel is the usual match to brushed chrome bath and kitchen fittings, aged bronze to oil-rubbed.
14) Can I put a Schlage FC21 on a 90 minute fire rated apartment entry corridor door?
The FC21 is available UL Listed for 90 minute fire door applications, so it can go on a rated opening when the UL Listed version is specified. Note the function though: this is a non-keyed passage and privacy knob, so it suits a rated closet or utility door, not a keyed unit entry. Also confirm your door thickness lands in the 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch range the lock covers.
15) What tools and prep do I need to install a Schlage FC21 knob, and does it come with the latch and strike?
Everything for the door ships with it: the dual backset spring latch with the 1/4 inch radius faceplate and a drive-in collar, plus the full lip radius strike for the frame. Install is a three step process with a screwdriver on a door already bored for a standard 2-1/8 inch cylindrical prep. On a new door you will still need to bore the cross bore and edge bore to the template. There is no wiring involved, this is a purely mechanical lock.
16) If I only need privacy on a bedroom or bath door, what can I use instead of the dual-function Schlage FC21 Andover?
The FC21 Andover ships as passage and converts to privacy with the interior pushbutton, so one part number covers both. If you want a dedicated privacy lock, the Arrow MK02-TA is a non-keyed privacy/bed/bath cylindrical lock with a Tudor knob and a fire rating, and the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 privacy lever set for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Check thickness before you swap: the MK02-TA is built for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, while the FC21 and the Breton privacy both cover 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch.
17) What is a lighter-rated passage alternative to the Schlage FC21 Andover for interior residential doors?
The FC21 Andover is Grade 2. If a lower rating suits the door, the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever is Grade 3 and fits 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, matching the FC21 thickness range, and the Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel - the same 619 satin nickel family the Andover knob is offered in. Both are lever trim rather than knob, which matters if you are matching existing knobs on the other doors of the unit.
18) For a decorative interior door where the Schlage Andover knob is too plain, what passage options match a designer set?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever with 5048 rose covers the same passage/hall/closet function in a decorative estate line, and Baldwin offers the matching 5103 privacy lever and left and right hand half dummy levers on the 5048 rose so a whole floor of doors reads the same. The Bravura Atlanta, Orlando and Miramar passage leversets are Grade 2 with round trim, and the Bravura Tampa passage leverset uses square trim if the openings call for it. The FC21 Andover knob is offered on Alden and Camelot rose designs in 619 satin nickel and 716 aged bronze.
19) Does the Schlage FC21 Andover work on a patient room or utility door that needs to be secured against occupant lockout?
The FC21 Andover privacy mode is released from outside with a small emergency unlock tool, which suits bedroom and bath doors. Openings specified as asylum or institutional use a different function: the Arrow MK33-BD-CS is a Grade 2 heavy duty asylum lock with a ball knob and a conventional Schlage C keyway cylinder, and the Dexter C1000 asylum F87 is a Grade 1 asylum, institution and utility lock for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. Those are keyed both sides rather than pushbutton privacy.
20) Which passage locks besides the Schlage FC21 are non-handed, so I do not have to check the swing before ordering?
The FC21 Andover is non-handed, so one part covers left and right hand doors. The Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 cylindrical passage lever with a non-handed design and the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 passage lock with non-handed levers. By contrast the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy is ordered by hand - left hand and right hand are separate part numbers - so handing has to be confirmed on those before the order goes in.
21) What passage lever matches the Schlage FC21 door thickness range if I want a flat lever on a 1-3/4 inch commercial door?
The Design Hardware J75 is a Grade 2 flat lever passage lockset built for 1-3/4 inch doors and the Design Hardware X75 is the Grade 1 flat lever passage lockset at the same thickness. The FC21 Andover covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, so it also fits a 1-3/4 inch door, but it is a knob rather than a flat lever and is Grade 2. Pick the X75 where the spec on the drawing calls for Grade 1.
22) I have a run of doors where some need a working knob and one is a false door. Does the FC21 work as a dummy?
No. The FC21 has a live latch, passage by default, so it will not sit right on a closet false door or an inactive leaf where you just want a pull. For that use a dummy trim: the Callan Bentley Grade 2 dummy lever, the BEST 7KC single dummy trim in Grade 2, or the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy, which comes hand specific in left and right.
23) What is the FC21 knob actually made of? These get hammered in rentals.
Stainless steel construction, in the F Series residential line, certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.2-2017 Grade 2 and Residential Grade AAA. That is the interior-door duty level: fine for bedroom, bath and closet doors in single family, condo and apartment units. High-cycle common area doors are a Grade 1 job.
24) Can a keypad lock replace the Schlage FC21 Andover on an interior door?
The FC21 Andover is a mechanical, non-electronic lock. If the door needs code entry instead of a pushbutton, the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination in passage function covering 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock, the same grade as the FC21. Note the Lockey 1150 is mechanical code entry with no batteries, while the LP250 is electronic.
