Schlage Residential FC21 LAT 626 KIN – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Schlage FC21 Latitude lever fit a 1-3/8 inch interior door, or does it need a 1-3/4 inch door?
Both work. The FC21 Latitude lever is built for door thicknesses from 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, which covers older interior doors and standard modern ones without any spacer or extension kit. It's non-handed, so there's no left or right version to sort out before ordering.
2) My doors are bored at 2-3/4 inch backset. Do I have to order a different FC21 for that?
No separate part number. The FC21 ships with a dual backset latch that adjusts to either 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches, which are the two backsets you'll find on residential and light commercial doors. That means one SKU covers a building with mixed prep, and you're not stuck holding two latch inventories.
3) Is the Schlage FC21 a passage lever or a privacy lever?
It's both, and which one you get is decided at install, not at order. Out of the box the FC21 Latitude functions as passage, meaning the lever always retracts the latch from both sides. Insert the privacy pushbutton on the interior side and it converts to a privacy lock for a bedroom or bath. That's why the same part can go on a closet, a hall door, and a bathroom on the same job.
4) How do you get into a bathroom if someone locks the FC21 privacy lever from inside?
From the outside, with the small emergency unlock tool. When the FC21 is set up in privacy mode the outside trim takes that tool to release the button, so a bathroom or bedroom can be opened without pulling the lock or removing the door. This is the reason privacy leversets get spec'd for senior living and multi-family instead of a keyed function.
5) Will the FC21 latch drop into my existing strike, or do I have to re-mortise the frame?
The FC21 latch has a 1/2 inch throw with a 1 inch by 2-1/4 inch faceplate and 1/4 inch radius corners, and it ships with a 1-5/8 by 2-1/4 inch full lip radius strike. If your frame already carries a radius corner strike of that size, the new strike drops straight into the existing cutout. If your frame has square corner prep, you'll need to either file the corners or dress in a square strike, because the radius plate won't seat in a square mortise.
6) Is a Grade 2 lever like the Schlage FC21 strong enough for apartment turnover, or should I be buying Grade 1?
The FC21 carries ANSI/BHMA A156.2-2017 Grade 2 plus A156.39-2015 Residential Grade AAA, which is the tier normally spec'd for apartment and condo interior doors, bedrooms, baths and closets. For a corridor door or anything that takes commercial traffic all day, step up to a Grade 1 passage lever such as the Falcon K101 or the Corbin Russwin CL3110. Note both of those are heavier commercial products and the CL3110 fits 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors, so it won't go on a 1-3/8 inch residential slab.
7) I need a keyed lever for the unit entry door. Does the FC21 Latitude do that?
No. The FC21 Latitude is a non-keyed lock, passage and privacy only, so it has no cylinder and no key. For a keyed entry or office lever on the same job, look at the Hager 2525 entry lever or the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway, which lets the entry doors key into the same C keyway system you're likely already running. Keep the FC21 for the interior doors behind it.
8) What lever lock should I use on a 2 inch thick door instead of the Schlage FC21?
The FC21 Latitude covers door thicknesses of 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, so a 2 inch door needs a different lock. The Hager 2510 passage lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch and is Grade 2 like the FC21. The Arrow GL01 Sierra lever passage lock covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 passage/closet lever covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch in a Grade 1 vandal resistant build. For the widest span, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch.
9) What is the closest equivalent to a Schlage FC21 Latitude passage lever from another brand?
The Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 cylindrical passage lever lock with a non-handed design, which matches the FC21's Grade 2 rating, cylindrical lock type, and non-handed installation. The Accentra 5301LN Augusta is also a Grade 2 cylindrical lever in passage/closet function. The difference to weigh is function scope: the FC21 ships as passage with a privacy pushbutton that converts the interior side to privacy, while the B101 and 5301LN are passage only.
10) Is there a heavier duty alternative to the Schlage FC21 Latitude lever for a high traffic corridor?
The FC21 Latitude is a Grade 2 residential cylindrical lever. For heavier traffic, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage cylindrical lock with non-handed levers and a fire rating, and the Falcon T101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever with pressure release technology. The Design Hardware X75 is a Grade 1 passage lever lockset for 1-3/4 inch doors. Each steps up to Grade 1; the FC21 remains the non-handed Grade 2 option with the passage-to-privacy pushbutton.
11) I need a keyed lever for the same doors as the Schlage FC21 Latitude - what takes a key?
The FC21 Latitude is a non-keyed lock, so an opening that has to lock with a key needs a keyed lever instead. The Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever is Grade 2 with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different and a 2-3/8 inch backset, covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors - the same thickness range the FC21 covers. For a storeroom function, the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt over that same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch range.
12) Can I use the FC21 on a metal door with no edge bore for a faceplate?
Yes. The FC21 comes with a dual option latch, 16-600, that works as either a round faceplate latch or a circular drive-in. The drive-in version pushes straight into the edge bore with no faceplate mortise, which is what you want on a metal door or on a slab where you'd rather not chisel. Same latch, you just pick the configuration at install.
13) What finishes and rose shapes does the Schlage FC21 Latitude lever come in?
Eight finishes: 530 Black Stainless, 608 Satin Brass, 618 Polished Nickel, 619 Satin Nickel, 622 Matte Black, 625 Bright Chrome, 626 Satin Chrome and 716 Aged Bronze. Each pairs with a choice of four rose designs, Century, Collins, Kinsler and Upland, so the Latitude lever can be matched to trim already hung elsewhere in the building. If you're standardizing across a property, pick the rose first, then hold the finish code across every opening.
14) Can I put the Schlage FC21 on a 90 minute fire rated door?
There is a UL Listed version of the FC21 rated for 90 minute fire door use, but it is a specific configuration you have to call out when ordering, not the standard build. If the opening is a rated corridor or stair door, specify the UL Listed fire door version. On an unrated bedroom, bath or closet door the standard FC21 is what you want.
15) What tools do I need to install a Schlage FC21 lever, and is the door prep standard?
A screwdriver, if the door is already bored. The FC21 is a cylindrical lockset, so it goes into the standard cross-bore and edge-bore prep that residential and light commercial doors already carry, and the install is three steps: latch in the edge bore, lock body through the cross bore, strike on the frame. Set the latch to your 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 backset before it goes in. On a new slab you'll need to bore first per the template.
16) I want a matching dummy lever for the inactive leaf of a double door. Does the FC21 cover that?
The FC21 Latitude is a working passage and privacy lock, not a dummy trim, so it isn't the part for a fixed inactive leaf or a false door. For dummy trim on the same job, the Accentra 455LN Augusta and the BEST 7KC Series single dummy are both cylindrical lever dummies, and Emtek offers dummy pairs in its Classic and Arts and Crafts leversets. None of those will match the Latitude lever shape exactly, so if appearance across the pair matters, spec both leaves from the same family.
17) What is a simpler or lower cost lever than the Schlage FC21 for interior apartment doors?
The Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever is a Grade 3 passage lock covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same thickness range the FC21 Latitude covers. The Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel. Both drop from the FC21's Grade 2 to Grade 3, and neither carries the FC21's dual passage/privacy design, so bathrooms and bedrooms would need the separate Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever.
18) Can I use a dummy lever in place of the Schlage FC21 on a closet door?
No - the two do different jobs. The FC21 Latitude is a cylindrical lock with a working latch, listed with a 16-600 spring latch in round and drive-in options, so it latches the door closed. A dummy such as the BEST 7KC single dummy trim, the Accentra 455LN Augusta single dummy, or the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy is trim only for a door held by a catch or a second active leaf. If the closet door needs to latch, the FC21 or another passage lever is the right part.
19) If I standardize on the Schlage FC21 for bedrooms, what matching lever covers the entry door?
The FC21 Latitude handles interior passage and privacy openings but is non-keyed. To finish a unit, the Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 cylindrical lever in entry/office function, and the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Callan Bennett is a Grade 3 entrance leverset paired with a deadbolt if the door calls for a second point of locking.
20) What lever do I use instead of the Schlage FC21 on a bathroom door that only needs privacy, never passage?
The FC21 Latitude ships as passage and becomes privacy when the pushbutton is inserted on the interior side, so it covers a dedicated privacy opening. If a purpose-built privacy lever is preferred, the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 privacy lever set for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The FC21 differs in that the same part number covers both roles across a unit.
21) Is a keypad leverset a substitute for the Schlage FC21 Latitude?
They are different classes of hardware. The FC21 Latitude is a non-electronic mechanical cylindrical lock. The Delaney LP250 is an electronic keypad leverlock, and the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination covering 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors. A keypad unit controls who enters by code; the FC21 does not restrict entry at all in passage mode and gives room-side privacy only.
22) Does the Schlage FC21 work for a patient room or utility door that needs staff override?
The FC21 Latitude opens from outside with a small emergency unlock tool when the privacy button is set, which suits bedroom and bathroom doors. For an opening that needs an institutional function, the Dexter C1000 Grade 1 asylum lock (F87) covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Arrow MK33-BD-CS is a Grade 2 asylum function lock with a conventional cylinder in the Schlage C keyway. Those key both sides rather than relying on a tool release.
23) The FC21 Latitude is a lever - what is the knob equivalent for the same kind of interior door?
The FC21 Latitude is a lever handle lock. For a knob in a comparable interior role, the Arrow MK02-TA is a Grade 1 privacy cylindrical lock with a Tudor knob, non-keyed, for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. Note the thickness difference: the FC21 covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, so a 1-3/8 inch door takes the lever, not that knob. Levers are also the choice where ADA operation matters.
24) What is the FC21 lever body actually made of?
Stainless steel. That matters most on bathroom and multi-family openings where the lever gets cleaned constantly and sees humidity, and it's part of why this one gets used in senior living where the hardware is wiped down daily.
25) Is the FC21 Latitude an electronic or keypad lock?
Purely mechanical. The FC21 has no keypad, no batteries and no wiring, which is what you want on interior doors where the only requirement is privacy. If a unit needs code access instead, the Delaney LP250 and the Emtek Classic keypad leverset are electronic keypad leversets, and the Lockey 1150 is a mechanical keypad lever set that needs no power and fits 1-1/8 to 2 inch doors.
26) Which Grade 2 passage levers besides the Schlage FC21 Latitude offer a different lever or rose look?
The FC21 Latitude uses the Latitude lever and comes on Century, Collins, Kinsler, and Upland roses. Among Grade 2 passage peers with a different look, the Bravura Atlanta and Bravura Orlando use round trim, the Bravura Tampa uses square trim, and the Bravura Miramar round trim passage leverset is offered in US4 satin brass. The Design Hardware J75 is a Grade 2 passage lever lockset with a flat lever for 1-3/4 inch doors.
