Arrow cylindrical lever and knob locks
Choose an Arrow cylindrical lock by grade, then by function and lever or knob. Grade 1 series such as the QL, GL and APL suit heavy traffic doors, while the Grade 2 RL and MLX suit medium duty interior doors. Function numbers are shared across series: 01 is passage, 02 privacy, 03 communicating, 11 entrance, 12 storeroom and 72 privacy in the QL and MLX ranges, and 08 is a single dummy trim. The APL Series adds a status indicator, which is why the APL02-ST privacy lock is one of our most looked-up Arrow products.
Arrow deadbolts
Arrow deadbolts come in three series. The D Series is listed as Grade 1 (D60 exit, D61 single cylinder, D62 double cylinder). The E Series and the DBX are listed as Grade 2, and the E71-IC, DBX61-IC and DBX62-IC are SFIC-prep versions sold less core. The E61 listing describes a single cylinder deadlock with ANSI function E0152, field reversible, and the DBX61 an adjustable 2-3/8" or 2-3/4" backset for 1-3/8" to 1-3/4" doors.
Arrow exit devices, trims and parts
The Arrow exit device range includes the S1250 rim and S1150 surface vertical rod devices, the FS1250 and FS1150 fire rated versions, the ED910 rim exit device (listed as BHMA Grade 1 certified, with hex key dogging) and the PEC910-36 with permanent end cap. Outside trims include the SRX lever trims and SF blank and dummy pull plates. For repairs, the Arrow exit device parts category lists rail assemblies by door width (for example E for 24" to 32", F for 32-1/4" to 36" and G for 36-1/4" to 48"), fire rated thru-bolts and extension rods.
Arrow cylinders, cores and key blanks
Arrow locks use Arrow cylinders and keyways, so replacement cylinders should match the series. The catalog lists the MC61 mortise cylinder in "A" keyway, the RC62 rim cylinder, the 600HD cylinder for Q, W, H, S, ML, L and RL Series, deadbolt cylinders for the D and E Series, SFIC mortise and rim housings, the 100CRP and 7100CRP SFIC cores and Arrow key blanks (K5, K6, L6A, K671, L671, C).
Arrow door closers
Arrow surface closers in the catalog include the DCN314 and DCN516, listed as Grade 1 with tri-mount (regular, parallel and top jamb) installation on the push or pull side, the DCN516-1 hold open version and the 5016NH hold open closer. See Arrow door closers.
