Yale Residential YR21MO-626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What door prep does the Yale YH Monroe lever need, and will it drop into an existing bored door?
Standard bored prep: a 2-1/8 inch cross bore through the face and a 1 inch edge bore for the latch. That is the normal prep on nearly every residential and light commercial door already carrying a knob or lever, so on a door that already has a bored lockset the Monroe goes straight in with no new drilling.
2) Do I have to order the Yale Monroe lever left hand or right hand?
No handing to specify. The YH Collection Monroe lever is a non-handed design, so one part number works on a left or right hand door and you can stock a single item across a building.
3) Does the Yale Monroe privacy lever take a key, and how does it unlock in an emergency?
It is a non-keyed privacy function for bathrooms and bedrooms: you lock it from inside the room, and there is no cylinder or key. If you need a keyed lever on the same door instead, that is an entrance or office function lockset, not this one.
4) Is a Grade 2 lever like the Yale Monroe strong enough for apartment turnover work?
The Monroe is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.2 Grade 2, which is the light commercial tier and suits multi-family unit interiors, bedrooms and baths. For a corridor door, a stairwell, or anything taking constant public traffic, step up to a Grade 1 cylindrical lever such as the Falcon K101 or the Corbin Russwin CL3110.
5) How does the Yale Monroe privacy lever compare with a Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever?
Both are non-keyed bed and bath levers covering 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. The difference is the durability tier: the Monroe is ANSI Grade 2 light commercial, the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton is Grade 3 residential. On rental turnover or anywhere the door gets worked hard, the Grade 2 is the one to spec.
6) The door is 2 inches thick - which privacy or passage lever fits when the Monroe does not?
The Monroe fits doors from 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, so a 2 inch door is outside it. Peers that reach 2 inches include the Hager 2540 privacy lock at 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Hager 2510 passage lever at the same range, the Arrow GL01 Sierra lever passage lock at 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, and the Deltana 6201 Manchester entry lever at 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch.
7) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to the Yale YH Collection Monroe privacy leverset?
The Hager 2540 with the Withnell lever is the nearest peer: it is a Grade 2 cylindrical privacy lock on a door thickness range of 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, against the Monroe's Grade 2 rating and 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door range. Both are lever-trim bored locks for bed and bath openings, so the swap is mainly a matter of lever style and finish. On doors between 1-3/4 inch and 2 inch the Hager covers ground the Monroe does not.
8) What should I use instead of the Monroe lever on a fire-rated privacy opening?
The Arrow MK02-TA carries a fire rating and a privacy/bed/bath function, so it is the one to specify where the opening is rated. It is a knob trim rather than a lever, on a 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch door range, so it will not satisfy an ADA lever requirement and it will not fit the thinner 1-3/8 inch doors the Monroe covers. Where the opening is rated and lever trim is required, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is fire rated and lever trim, but it is a passage/closet function with no privacy lock.
9) I ordered a Monroe privacy lever but the door is a closet that does not need to lock - what is the passage version?
For a closet or hall door that only needs a latch, the Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 cylindrical lever lock in passage/hall/closet function, matching the Monroe's Grade 2 rating without the privacy lock. Two other Grade 2 lever passage options are the Falcon B101, which is non-handed like the Monroe, and the Hager 2510 with the Withnell lever on a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door range.
10) The bathroom door in a clinic needs a key on the outside - can I still use the Monroe privacy lever?
No. The Monroe is non-keyed, so there is no cylinder to key from the corridor side. For a keyed toilet or utility opening, the Arrow MK33-BD-CS is a Grade 2 heavy duty lock in asylum/institution/utility function with a conventional cylinder in a Schlage C keyway, and the Dexter C1000 asylum is the Grade 1 equivalent of that function on a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door range.
11) For a school or hospital corridor, is the Monroe lever heavy duty enough or should I step up a grade?
The Monroe is Grade 2 and specified as residential hardware, which suits dwelling-unit bed and bath doors. Where an institutional spec calls for Grade 1 lever trim, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-handed passage lock that is fire rated and covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Design Hardware X75 is a Grade 1 passage lever for 1-3/4 inch doors. Both are passage function, so a room that must lock from inside needs a privacy lock chosen separately.
12) What finishes does the Yale Monroe lever come in, and can I match it across a whole floor?
Five finishes: 605 polished brass, 613E dark oxidized satin bronze, 619 satin nickel, 626 satin chrome, and BSP black suede powder coat. All five carry the same round rose and Monroe lever shape, so you can run one look through bedrooms, baths and closets and swap finish only where the decor changes.
13) I need matching passage levers for the closets and halls on the same job as the Yale Monroe privacy lever. What pairs with it?
The Monroe is sold as the privacy function only, so hall and closet doors take a separate passage lever. Grade 2 passage options include the Accentra 5301LN Augusta and the Hager 2510, and Bravura's round-trim Miramar, Atlanta and Orlando levers if you want a residential round rose closer in look to the Monroe.
14) Can the Yale YH Monroe lever go on a fire rated door?
Not one to spec for a rated opening. For a rated door, use a lock that carries a fire rating in its own listing, such as the Falcon K101 or the Corbin Russwin CL3110, both Grade 1 cylindrical levers with a stated fire rating. Rated openings also generally rule out privacy function on the corridor side.
15) Is there a lighter-duty privacy lever for interior bedroom and bath doors in a rental unit?
The Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton privacy lever set is a Grade 3 privacy/bed/bath lock covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same door range as the Grade 2 Monroe. Grade 3 is the residential tier of ANSI/BHMA; the Monroe's Grade 2 rating is the step above it and is what the YH Collection is built to. For a unit turn where the door sees household traffic the Breton meets the function; where a property manager is standardizing on light commercial durability the Monroe is the higher grade.
16) I need a matching lever with no working latch for a false door - what pairs with a privacy leverset?
A dummy lever mounts to the face of the door with no latch and no lock, which is what a closet false panel or an inactive leaf takes. The Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 single dummy cylindrical lever, the BEST 7KC single dummy trim is the Grade 2 medium duty version, and the Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever. The Monroe itself is a privacy function with a latch and strike plate in the box, so it is not the part for a non-operating door.
17) Can a keypad leverset replace a privacy lever on a bathroom or staff room door?
It changes what the door does. The Monroe locks from the inside with a privacy turn and has no key or code on the outside. The Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock and the Lockey 1150 is a mechanical keypad lever set with double combination for 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors; both control who can enter from the outside, which is access control rather than occupancy privacy. For a bed or bath door where anyone should be able to close themselves in, the privacy function is the correct one.
18) What lever should I use on the entry door if I am putting Monroe privacy levers on the bedrooms?
The Monroe is non-keyed, so it does not serve an entry opening. Grade 2 keyed lever options include the Hager 2525 commercial cylindrical entry lock for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, the Falcon B511CP6D in entry/office function, and the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different and a 2-3/8 inch backset. The Cal-Royal AG00 covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same thickness range the Monroe fits.
19) Do I need a cylinder adapter to put the Monroe lever on a job keyed to Schlage?
No. The Monroe is non-keyed, so there is no cylinder in it to adapt. The Accentra 107S is a Schlage cylinder adapter kit for Yale hardware, and it applies to keyed Yale locks rather than to a privacy function. A locksmith standardizing a building on a Schlage C keyway keys the entry and storeroom openings; the bed and bath doors on the Monroe stay off the key system entirely.
20) What is the Yale Monroe lever made of, and how does the lever attach to the chassis?
Metal construction throughout, with a square spindle driving the levers into the interior chassis. The square spindle plus pre-installed, concealed mounting screws is what lets the set go on without exposed fasteners on the rose face.
21) Which decorative lever brands cover the same doors if I want a different lever profile than the Monroe?
The Monroe is a round rose lever in five finishes from polished brass through satin nickel, satin chrome, dark oxidized satin bronze and a black suede powder coat. For a different look on the same kind of opening, Bravura offers Grade 2 leversets in round trim as the Atlanta and the Orlando and in square trim as the Tampa, and Deltana offers the Claremont, Manchester, Morant and Linstead levers. The Bravura options named are passage function and the Deltana ones are entry function, so the privacy turn belongs to the Monroe among these.
