Schlage Residential FC21 DMP 622 KIN – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How does one lock do both passage and privacy? Do I have to choose when I order?
No choice at order time. The Dempsey FC21 ships in passage function, meaning the lever always turns and nothing latches shut. Insert the privacy pushbutton into the interior side of the lock and it becomes a bed/bath privacy lock. That is why one part number can cover a hall closet and a bathroom on the same floor, and why a property manager can carry one lock on the shelf for both.
2) If a kid locks the bathroom door, can I get in from the hallway?
Yes, when it is set up in privacy mode. The lock opens from the outside with a small emergency unlock tool, so a bedroom or bath door can be released from the corridor side without pulling the lock apart. That is the reason this one gets specified in multi-family and assisted living bath and bedroom doors.
3) Will the FC21 latch drop into my existing strike, or do I have to re-prep the frame?
The latch throws 1/2 inch with a 1 x 2-1/4 inch faceplate on a 1/4 inch radius corner, and the strike supplied is a 10-027 full lip radius strike measuring 2-1/4 x 1-5/8 inches. If the frame already has a radius corner strike of that size, the new latch lines up with it. A square corner strike prep will not match the radius faceplate without filing or a square drive plate.
4) Is the Schlage Dempsey lever rated for a commercial corridor, or is it residential only?
It is built to a residential duty profile: ANSI/BHMA A156.2-2017 Grade 2 and A156.39-2015 Residential Grade AAA, catalogued by Schlage as residential. For apartment interiors, guest rooms and dorm-style rooms that is the right level. For a commercial corridor or a school passage door, step up to a Grade 1 cylindrical passage lever such as the Falcon K101 or the Corbin Russwin CL3110, both Grade 1 passage locks with a fire rating on record.
5) My door is 2 inches thick. Will the FC21 Dempsey work?
No. The Dempsey tops out at 1-3/4 inches. For a thicker leaf, look at locks whose range reaches 2 inches, such as the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever at 1-3/8 to 2 inches, or the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage at 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches.
6) The unit door needs to lock with a key - what replaces the Schlage FC21 Dempsey lever?
The FC21 Dempsey is non-keyed, so an opening that needs key control takes a keyed chassis. 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 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, which keeps the same C keyway family. The Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Dexter C1000 entry/office lever is Grade 1 clutching for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
7) What is the closest equivalent to the Schlage FC21 Dempsey passage lever from another brand?
The Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 cylindrical passage lever lock with a non-handed design, which lines up with the FC21 Dempsey lever as a Grade 2 non-handed cylindrical leverset for passage duty. The Accentra 5301LN Augusta is also a Grade 2 cylindrical lever lock in passage/closet function. The difference to weigh is function scope: the FC21 ships as passage by default and converts to privacy when the pushbutton is inserted on the interior side, while the B101 and the 5301LN are passage-only levers with no privacy conversion.
8) Which lever should be ordered for a bathroom or bedroom door instead of the Schlage FC21 Dempsey?
The FC21 Dempsey already handles that opening - inserting the privacy pushbutton on the interior side converts it from passage to privacy, and it can be opened from outside with a small emergency unlock tool. If a dedicated privacy-only lever is preferred, the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 privacy lever set for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors and the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with a Withnell lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
9) What is a heavier duty alternative to the Schlage FC21 Dempsey lever for a high traffic corridor?
The FC21 Dempsey is a Grade 2 residential lever. Where the opening calls for a commercial-duty chassis in the same passage function, the Falcon T101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage lever with pressure release technology, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lock with non-handed levers, and the Design Hardware X75 is a Grade 1 passage lever lockset with a flat lever. The T101 and K101 are passage only, so a room needing privacy still takes a separate privacy lock.
10) Do I need to order a left hand or right hand version of the Dempsey lever?
No handing to specify. The FC21 Dempsey is non-handed, so one part works on a left or right swinging door and you can stock a single item for a whole building.
11) What do I have to pick when ordering the FC21 Dempsey lever?
Two choices only: finish and rose. Finishes are 619 satin nickel and 622 matte black. Rose designs are Collins and Kinsler, and both roses are offered in both finishes. There is no handing and no keying to specify, since this one is non-keyed.
12) I need a passage lever for a hall closet but do not want to pay for privacy. What are my other options?
If the door never needs to lock, a straight passage leverset does the job. The Bravura Atlanta, Orlando and Tampa passage leversets are Grade 2, as is the Accentra 5301LN Augusta and the Falcon B101. Where you want the option to convert later, the FC21 Dempsey is the one that starts as passage and takes a privacy pushbutton, so a bedroom and a linen closet can carry the same lock.
13) Does the FC21 Dempsey come with a latch and strike, or do I buy those separately?
Both are included. A 16-600 spring latch ships with it, dual option so it can go in as a round faceplate latch or a drive-in, and the 10-027 full lip radius strike comes in the box at 2-1/4 x 1-5/8 inches. A screwdriver finishes the install on a door already bored.
14) Can I use a drive-in latch on the FC21 so I do not have to mortise the edge of the door?
Yes. The 16-600 latch supplied is a dual option, round faceplate or drive-in. Drive-in saves you mortising the door edge on a new bore, which matters when you are turning apartments fast. The strike still gets mortised into the frame.
15) Which passage lever fits a 1-3/4 inch door only, compared with the Schlage FC21 Dempsey?
The Design Hardware J75 is a Grade 2 passage lever lockset with a flat lever specified for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the X75 is the Grade 1 version at the same 1-3/4 inch thickness. The FC21 Dempsey spans 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, so on a mixed job with both 1-3/8 inch and 1-3/4 inch leaves the FC21 covers both preps while the J75 and X75 are set to the thicker door.
16) Is a Kwikset Breton passage lever the same thing as a Schlage FC21 Dempsey?
They are both non-keyed interior levers, but they are not the same specification. The FC21 Dempsey carries a Grade 2 rating; the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever is Grade 3, with the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range. The Breton also splits by function - the 200BRNL is passage and the 300BRNL Breton is the separate privacy lever - whereas the FC21 is passage by default and converts to privacy with the interior pushbutton.
17) A door needs a matching lever that does not latch - what pairs with a Schlage FC21 Dempsey opening?
The FC21 Dempsey is a working cylindrical lock with a latch, so a closet or French door leaf that only needs a pull takes a dummy trim instead. The BEST 7KC single dummy trim is a Grade 2 non-keyed cylindrical lever, the BEST 9K Series 1DT is the Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy trim, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 single dummy cylindrical lever. Dummy trim has no latch or privacy function at all - it is surface mounted trim only.
18) Is the Arrow GL01 Sierra passage lever a drop-in substitute for the Schlage FC21 Dempsey?
Both are Grade 2 non-keyed cylindrical passage levers, but the door prep differs. The Arrow GL01 is specified for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, while the FC21 Dempsey covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. On a 1-3/8 inch interior door the GL01 is outside its range. The GL01 is also passage function only, where the FC21 converts to privacy with the interior pushbutton.
19) What is a lower cost lever than the Schlage FC21 Dempsey for interior hall and closet doors?
For a hall or closet leaf that never needs privacy, a Grade 3 passage lever covers the job: the Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel, and the Kwikset 200DL Delta is a passage door lock for interior hall and closet use, reversible, with an adjustable 6AL latch and RCS strike. The trade against the FC21 Dempsey is the Grade 2 rating and the privacy pushbutton conversion, neither of which the Grade 3 passage levers carry.
20) What lever holds up for a patient room or utility door where the Schlage FC21 Dempsey is not appropriate?
The FC21 Dempsey is a residential passage and privacy lever, which is not the function set for a room requiring key control on both sides. The Dexter C1000 Asylum (F87) is a Grade 1 cylindrical lock in asylum/institution/utility function for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Arrow MK33-BD-CS is a Grade 2 heavy duty asylum lock with a ball knob and a conventional cylinder in Schlage C keyway.
21) Does a mechanical or electronic keypad lever replace the Schlage FC21 Dempsey where code access is wanted?
The FC21 Dempsey is a mechanical, non-electronic lever. Where an opening needs code entry rather than a pushbutton privacy turn, the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination in passage function for 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock. These are entry-control devices, not privacy locks, so they do not reproduce the FC21 interior pushbutton and emergency unlock behavior.
22) Can a Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever be used in place of the Schlage FC21 Dempsey on the same door?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 with the 5048 rose is offered as a passage lever, and separately as a privacy lever and as left hand and right hand half dummy levers, so the function is chosen at order time rather than converted in the field. The FC21 Dempsey is non-handed and ships passage with an interior privacy pushbutton conversion, which means one part number covers a run of doors where the Baldwin approach takes a different part per function and per hand.
23) What is inside the Dempsey lever, and will it hold up on a bathroom door that gets used all day?
The lock is built on a stainless steel substrate with a 1 inch housing diameter latch, and it carries Residential Grade AAA under A156.39-2015, which is the top residential tier. For a bedroom or bath in an apartment or guest room that is appropriate duty. A door cycled like a commercial restroom entrance wants a heavy duty Grade 1 lock instead.
24) Which Bravura passage lever is comparable to the Schlage FC21 Dempsey by design style?
Bravura offers several Grade 2 passage leversets that sit at the same grade as the FC21 Dempsey, differing in lever and trim shape: the Atlanta and Orlando come with round trim, the Tampa with square trim, and the Miramar with round trim in a US4 satin brass finish. All four are passage function, so a bedroom or bath door still needs a privacy lock, while the FC21 Dempsey converts to privacy with the interior pushbutton.
25) What is the difference between the Accentra 4601LN and 5301LN Augusta levers when cross-shopping the Schlage FC21 Dempsey?
Both are Grade 2 cylindrical lever locks in passage/hall/closet function with the Augusta trim design; the 4601LN is in the 4600 Series and the 5301LN is in the 5300 Series. Either lines up with the FC21 Dempsey on grade and cylindrical chassis type, and both are passage function without the interior privacy pushbutton the FC21 carries.
