Cal-Royal GN30 Grade 1 Passage Lever Set

The Cal-Royal GN30 is a heavy-duty Grade 1 cylindrical passage lever set in the Cal-Royal Genesys Series, designed for non-locking commercial openings where the latch needs to retract from either side at all times. ANSI Function F75 Passage: lever operates the latch bolt from both inside and outside continuously, with no locking mechanism, no key cylinder, and no privacy or storeroom hardware involved. Common applications: school corridors, hospital ward halls, multi-tenant office building common areas, retail back-of-house non-locking doors, restroom hallway entrances, restaurant kitchen pass-throughs, and any commercial opening where the door simply needs to latch closed but never lock. ANSI/BHMA A156.2 Series 4000 Grade 1 strength: 1,000,000+ operating cycles, heavy-duty vertical and horizontal load resistance, and impact resistance suitable for heavy-traffic institutional and commercial applications including schools, hospitals, government buildings, multi-tenant office buildings, and high-volume retail. Through-bolted assembly with separate spring cage per lever resists pull-off attacks. Non-handed lever design: one trim works for both right-hand and left-hand door installations without ordering different parts or stocking handed inventory. Same-day shipping, free shipping on orders of $300 or more. SKU GN30.

Where the GN30 Fits in Cal-Royal's Genesys Series Family

Cal-Royal Products is a U.S. commercial hardware manufacturer (Los Angeles, in business since 1986) supplying value-engineered architectural hardware that meets the same ANSI/BHMA standards as Schlage, Yale, Sargent, Falcon, and Corbin Russwin at a meaningfully lower price point. The Cal-Royal Genesys Series is the company's Grade 1 cylindrical lever lock family, covering the full ANSI function range across passage, privacy, entrance/office, classroom, storeroom, vestibule, and communicating functions. The GN30 specifically is the GN lever style Passage function within the Genesys family. Two lever style variants share this Genesys lock body: GN (contemporary straight-arm lever, this product) and SPA (curved-arm transitional lever, see Cal-Royal SPA30 Grade 1 Passage Lever Set). Same lock body, same Grade 1 spec, different lever aesthetic to match architectural style.

For the broader Grade 1 Genesys family see Cal-Royal Genesys Series - Grade 1 within Cal Royal Lever Locks and Cylindrical Lever Locks. For the GN-specific lever style breakout see GN Lever Style. The Genesys Series has a matching SL Series Grade 2 step-down at a lower price point if Grade 2 cycle life is acceptable for the application -the levers, roses, and overall aesthetic match across Grade 1 and Grade 2 so a building can mix Grade 1 on heavy-traffic openings and Grade 2 on lighter-duty openings while maintaining visual consistency.

GN30 Specifications

ANSI/BHMA A156.2 Series 4000 Grade 1 strength and operational requirements (1,000,000+ operating cycles, vertical and horizontal load resistance, impact resistance for heavy-traffic institutional and commercial applications). Function: ANSI F75 Passage (latch bolt operated by lever from either side at all times, no locking mechanism, no key, no privacy lock, no storeroom function). Handing: non-handed, field-reversible without ordering different parts or stocking handed inventory. UL Listed.

Backset: UL Listed 2-3/4" backset standard with 2-1/4" × 1-1/8" faceplate; 2-3/8" backset also available. Strike: ASA curved lip 4-7/8" × 1-1/4" standard; 2-1/4" full lip strike or 2-3/4" × 1-1/8" T-strike also available depending on door frame prep. Bore: 2-1/8" diameter (standard 161 prep). Housing: cold rolled steel with zinc dechromate finish for rust resistance, precision cast steel retractor for cycle longevity. Trim: through-bolted assembly through door with separate spring cage for each lever (resists lever pull-off attacks and forced entry). Lever: full length 4-3/4" lever handle with 3/8" return on GN and SPA design (the 3/8" return brings the lever close to the door face, reducing snag risk on clothing, IV poles in healthcare settings, and equipment carts in commercial settings -meeting ADA Section 309 operable parts requirements for accessibility). Rose: 3-1/2" diameter (round). Mounting: concealed mounting screws (no visible fasteners on the rose face for a clean architectural appearance). Key removable outside lever for fast rekeying when the application is later upgraded from F75 Passage to a keyed function (entrance/office, storeroom, classroom).

Available Finishes

Two BHMA-coded finish options on the GN30:

• US26D Satin Chrome (BHMA 626) -the most-specified commercial finish across institutional and commercial doors, accounts for roughly 70% of Grade 1 specifications nationwide

• US3 Polished Brass (BHMA 605) -bright brass mirror finish for traditional and classical commercial architecture, government buildings, courthouses, and historic preservation projects

For finishes outside these two (US10B Oil Rubbed Bronze, US32D Satin Stainless, US15 Satin Nickel, US26 Polished Chrome, US4 Satin Brass) call 877-471-4870 for special-order availability and lead time.

When to Specify the GN30 Passage Lever

Three buyer scenarios point specifically to the GN30:

• School corridors and hospital hallways where doors need to latch closed for fire-rated compartmentation and acoustic separation but never lock. School classrooms typically use the CGN03 Classroom function, but corridor and hallway doors are F75 Passage.

• Multi-tenant office and retail back-of-house openings where doors latch closed to the corridor but never lock -common-area passage doors, kitchen-to-dining pass-throughs in restaurants, employee corridor doors, and fire-rated stair vestibule passage doors (note: stair vestibule keyed entry doors use the CGN06 Vestibule function instead).

• New construction and major renovation specifications where a building needs Grade 1 cycle life across the entire door schedule and the Cal-Royal Genesys Series is selected as the building standard. The GN30 covers all non-locking openings while sibling SKUs cover privacy, entrance, classroom, storeroom, and other functions.

If the application requires a different ANSI function within the same Cal-Royal Genesys Series Grade 1 family, see the function-specific siblings: Cal-Royal CGN20 Grade 1 Privacy (F76 -bathroom and bedroom privacy with emergency outside release), Cal-Royal CGN00 Grade 1 Entrance/Office (F82 -keyed entry with thumbturn locking), Cal-Royal CGN03 Grade 1 Classroom (F84 -outside locks/unlocks by key), Cal-Royal CGN04 Grade 1 Communicating (between-room locking), Cal-Royal CGN06 Grade 1 Vestibule (F88 -keyed entry, free egress with thumbturn override), Cal-Royal CGN07 Grade 1 Classroom/Intruder (active shooter response classroom function), Cal-Royal ICCGN05 Grade 1 Storeroom SFIC (F86 with small-format interchangeable core), Cal-Royal GN02 Grade 1 Store Lock (F09 Storeroom), or Cal-Royal GN40 Grade 1 Dummy (no operating mechanism, for inactive leaf of double doors).
