About this item
Most interconnected lever locks ship with a fixed cylinder and no path to a master key system. The Cal-Royal ICSCJHIL30 is different. It's built to accept a Schlage Large Format Interchangeable Core in the deadbolt, which means it slots directly into any Schlage LFIC master key system already in place at a facility. Hotels, universities, healthcare campuses, and government buildings using Schlage LFIC keying systems can install this lock and have it combinated on their existing master key schedule. That's a significant spec advantage over standard interconnected locks.
If you're sourcing cores separately, browse compatible Schlage IC cores to pair the right core with this lock. Note that the core is not included with the ICSCJHIL30 and must be ordered separately.
How the ICSCJHIL30 Single Locking Function Works
This lock carries ANSI function F95: Entrance, Single Locking. From the outside, the deadbolt is thrown or retracted by key through the upper lock. From the inside, a single turn of the lever simultaneously retracts both the deadbolt and the latch bolt for immediate, one-motion exit. The latch bolt retracts by lever from either side. There's no need to disengage the deadbolt separately from the inside, which is exactly the panic-proof behavior required for occupied commercial and institutional suites.
The lower cylindrical body operates independently with its own standard cylinder, while the upper deadbolt is the LFIC-ready position. The "ICSC" prefix in the SKU confirms the Schlage Large Format core housing on the deadbolt only.

Keyway and Cylinder Compatibility
The standard cylinder on the lower lock accepts a 6-pin solid brass "C" keyway. Compatible keyways include Schlage E, Schlage C-K, Russwin D1-2-3-4, Corbin 59/60, Sargent LA-LB-LC, Falcon/Weiser E, Arrow A, Yale 8, Yale GA, and Kwikset. High security cylinder upgrades are available for Medeco, Assa, Kaba, and Cal-Royal HSK. The key-removable lever design allows fast re-keying or cylinder swap without removing the full lock body. Individual anti-sag springs on both the exterior and interior sides of the lever keep the lever in proper position long-term, which matters on doors that see hundreds of operations per day.
Why Choose the ICSCJHIL30 for Institutional Applications
The LFIC core compatibility is the primary reason this lock is specified on institutional and commercial projects. Facilities with Schlage LFIC master key systems can combinate this lock on their existing grand master or master key hierarchy, include it in a construction keying program, and swap cores on rekeying cycles without touching the lock hardware. That's the operational efficiency argument that makes LFIC-ready interconnected locks the standard specification for hospitality, healthcare, and higher education projects.
The reversible, non-handed design means a single SKU covers both door swings on a door schedule, reducing procurement complexity.
