Schlage Residential FC21 NBK 622 KIN – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Schlage FC21 Northbrook a passage lock or a privacy lock?
Both, depending on how you set it up. Out of the box the FC21 Northbrook works as passage, the lever always turns and there is no locking. Insert the privacy pushbutton on the interior side and it becomes a bed and bath privacy lock. From the outside it can still be opened with a small emergency unlock tool. That means one part number can cover the hall and closet doors and the bedroom and bath doors on the same unit.
2) Does the Schlage FC21 lever take a key?
No. The FC21 Northbrook is a non-keyed cylindrical lever, so there is no cylinder, no keyway to specify and no keys to manage. For a door that has to be locked and opened with a key, you need a keyed function instead, such as an entry lever. Within the trade options we carry, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle, and the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever comes with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different on a 2-3/8 inch backset.
3) Will the FC21 latch drop into the strike that is already in my door frame?
The FC21 ships with a 1 x 2-1/4 inch latch with a 1/4 inch radius corner faceplate and a 1/2 inch throw, plus a 1-5/8 x 2-1/4 inch radius corner full lip strike. If the frame already has a radius corner strike cut of that size, the new strike drops straight in. Square corner prep will not accept the radius faceplate without filing or a new plate. The 1/2 inch throw is standard for a residential cylindrical latch, so an existing frame set up for one will engage.
4) Is the Schlage FC21 Northbrook lever strong enough for apartment turnover work?
It is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.2-2017 Grade 2 and A156.39-2015 Residential Grade AAA, with stainless steel construction. That is the residential heavy end, appropriate for multi-family units, student housing and assisted living where doors take more traffic than a single-family home. For a commercial corridor or a school on a Grade 1 spec, step up to something like the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lever or the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever.
5) What do I have to specify when ordering the Schlage FC21 Northbrook lever?
Two choices, and no handing. Finish comes in 619 Satin Nickel, 622 Matte Black, 625 Bright Chrome and 716 Aged Bronze. Rose design comes in Colins, Kinsler and Upland, and every one of those roses is offered in all four finishes. Backset does not need calling out because the latch adjusts to 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches, and the latch and full lip strike come in the box.
6) Will the Schlage FC21 work on a 2 inch thick door?
No. The FC21 Northbrook tops out at 1-3/4 inches, so a 2 inch leaf is outside its range. For thicker doors, the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever covers 1-3/8 to 2 inches, and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock goes from 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches. The Arrow GL01 Grade 2 passage lever is built for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors.
7) What should be used instead of a Schlage FC21 Northbrook on an office or entry door that has to lock with a key?
The FC21 Northbrook is non-keyed, so an opening that must be secured with a key needs a keyed function lock. The Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 cylindrical lever lock in entry/office function, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever lockset with a deadlocking latchbolt for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
8) What is the closest equivalent to the Schlage FC21 Northbrook passage lever from another brand?
The Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 cylindrical passage lever lock with a non-handed design, matching the FC21 Northbrook on grade, cylindrical lock type and non-handed installation. The FC21 differs in that it ships as a passage lever that converts to privacy when the pushbutton is inserted on the interior side, while the B101 is a passage function lock. Choose the Falcon B101 where a dedicated hall or closet passage lever is wanted, and the FC21 Northbrook where the same opening may later need bed or bath privacy.
9) Is there a heavier duty lever than the Schlage FC21 Northbrook for a high traffic corridor?
The FC21 Northbrook is a Grade 2 residential cylindrical lock. Where a heavier duty passage lever is specified, the Falcon T101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage lever lock with pressure release technology, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage cylindrical lock with a fire rating, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant cylindrical lever lock in passage/closet function with a fire rating. None of the three carry the FC21's privacy pushbutton conversion.
10) Is the Arrow GL01 Sierra lever a drop-in substitute for the Schlage FC21 Northbrook?
They share grade and function - the Arrow GL01 is a Grade 2 non-keyed passage cylindrical lock with the Sierra lever - but the door prep differs. The Arrow GL01 covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch door thickness, while the FC21 Northbrook covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. On a 1-3/8 inch interior door the GL01 is outside its range, and the GL01 is a passage lock where the FC21 converts to privacy with the interior pushbutton.
11) How does the Schlage FC21 compare to a Kwikset Breton passage lever?
Both are non-keyed residential levers covering 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, but the grade differs. The FC21 Northbrook is ANSI/BHMA Grade 2; the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever is Grade 3. Grade 3 is the light residential tier and Grade 2 is the step above it in cycle and strength testing, which is the difference that matters on rental turnover doors. The Kwikset line also splits functions, a separate 300BRNL for privacy, where the FC21 converts between passage and privacy with a pushbutton.
12) I need a matching lever on a door that does not need to latch. Does the FC21 come as a dummy?
The FC21 Northbrook is offered as a passage and privacy cylindrical lock, not as a dummy trim. For a closet or a false door leaf that only needs a pull, use a dedicated dummy, such as the BEST 7KC Series single dummy trim lever in Grade 2, the Grade 1 BEST 9K 1DT, or the Callan Bentley Grade 2 dummy lever. Trim design will not match Northbrook across brands, so plan the matching by finish rather than by lever shape.
13) How hard is a Schlage FC21 lever to install on an existing bored door?
It goes on with a screwdriver in three steps if the door is already bored for a cylindrical lockset. The included universal latch handles either backset, so the existing 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch cross bore works as is, and the same latch is supplied in both round faceplate and drive-in form, which covers a door prepped either way. Non-handed levers mean no reversing step before it goes on.
14) Can maintenance get into a bathroom if someone locks the FC21 privacy button from inside?
Yes. With the privacy pushbutton engaged, the lock opens from the outside with a small emergency unlock tool. That is the feature that makes it usable on bedroom and bath doors in multi-family, assisted living and student housing, where staff need a way in without cutting the door.
15) What is a lighter duty alternative to the Schlage FC21 Northbrook lever for interior residential doors?
The Kwikset 200BRNL RDT Breton passage lever set is Grade 3 for passage/hall/closet openings and covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same thickness range the FC21 Northbrook accepts. For privacy on bed and bath doors the matching Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton privacy lever set is Grade 3 over the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch range, whereas the FC21 handles both functions from one lock with the interior pushbutton.
16) Can a Baldwin Estate 5103 lever replace a Schlage FC21 Northbrook?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 with 5048 rose is sold as separate function-specific levers: the 5103 passage lever for hall and closet openings and the 5103 privacy lever for bed and bath. The FC21 Northbrook covers both from one non-keyed cylindrical lock, passage by default with a privacy pushbutton inserted on the interior side. Replacing an FC21 with Baldwin Estate 5103 means ordering the function that matches each door rather than one part number for the floor.
17) What matches a Schlage FC21 Northbrook lever on a door that only needs a pull, with no latch?
A dummy lever is the match for a door with no latch. The BEST 7KC Series single dummy trim cylindrical lever is Grade 2 medium duty, the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim lever is Grade 1 heavy duty, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 single dummy cylindrical lever in the 5400 Series. The FC21 Northbrook is a working cylindrical lock with a latch and a privacy pushbutton, so it is not the part for a false door or an inactive leaf.
18) What is the difference between the Accentra 5301LN Augusta and the Accentra 4601LN for a passage opening compared with a Schlage FC21 Northbrook?
Both Accentra levers are Grade 2 cylindrical passage locks for hall and closet function, the same grade and function class as the FC21 Northbrook; the 5301LN Augusta is 5300 Series and the 4601LN with Augusta trim is 4600 Series. Neither converts to privacy, while the FC21 takes a privacy pushbutton on the interior side and can be released from outside with a small emergency unlock tool.
19) Which passage lever standardizes across a facility with mixed 1-3/4 inch doors instead of the Schlage FC21 Northbrook?
For a facility built on 1-3/4 inch doors, the Design Hardware J75 passage lever lockset with flat lever is Grade 2 at 1-3/4 inch, and the Design Hardware X75 passage lever lockset with flat lever is Grade 1 at 1-3/4 inch. The FC21 Northbrook spans 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch on one part number, which suits a building whose interior doors run both thicknesses.
20) Does a keypad lever like the Delaney LP250 do the same job as a Schlage FC21 Northbrook?
No. The Delaney LP250 is an electronic keypad leverlock, Grade 2, in the LP250 Series, and controls access by code. The FC21 Northbrook is a mechanical non-electronic lock whose privacy is set by a pushbutton on the inside of the room and released from outside with an emergency unlock tool. A keypad lever suits an opening that needs code-based access; the FC21 suits bedroom, bath, hall and closet doors.
21) What is the difference between the Bravura Atlanta, Orlando and Tampa passage leversets and the Schlage FC21 Northbrook?
All three Bravura leversets are Grade 2 passage function for hall and closet openings, the same grade and function class as the FC21 Northbrook. Atlanta and Orlando carry round trim, Tampa carries square trim. The FC21 Northbrook is offered with Colins, Kinsler and Upland rose designs and adds the privacy pushbutton conversion the Bravura passage leversets do not have.
22) Is the Callan Asheville passage leverset the same thing as a Schlage FC21 Northbrook?
The Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset in a satin nickel finish for hall and closet function. The FC21 Northbrook is Grade 2 and comes in 619 Satin Nickel among its finishes, so the finish match is available on both, but the grade and the privacy pushbutton conversion differ - the Asheville is passage function only.
