The Schlage S206-501 is the OEM CS Series outside assembly for the Schlage CS210 interconnected lock, documented in the Schlage CS210 Service Manual (doc 0139547). The assembly covers the cylinder, deadbolt, and outside trim for the CS200 deadbolt section of the CS210 platform. Finish must be specified at time of order. Available (3-4 weeks).

The CS210 Service Manual documents components for locks manufactured after December 2010. If the installed CS210 was manufactured before that date, confirm service manual compatibility before ordering.

What the Schlage CS210 Interconnected Lock Is

The CS210 is Schlage's Grade 2 interconnected lock, combining a spring latch or deadlatch with a deadbolt in a single housing where both bolts retract simultaneously with one operation. ANSI A156.12-2013, BHMA Grade 2 certified for operational, security, cycle, and finish standards. UL Listed for 3-hour fire door. With SFIC (Small Format Interchangeable Core) cylinders, the security rating drops to Grade 3.

The defining function of the CS210 is single motion egress: turning the inside lever retracts both the latch and the deadbolt simultaneously. Life and Safety codes in many jurisdictions specifically require this capability for multi-unit residential buildings, group homes, assisted living facilities, and retirement communities. A standard deadbolt and latch require two separate operations from the inside; the CS210 requires one. The S206-501 outside assembly is the component that provides the outside cylinder and deadbolt for this system.

Schlage CS210 Platform: CS200 Deadbolt Section Explained

The "CS200" in the S206-501 product description identifies the deadbolt component of the CS210 interconnected lock. The CS200 is not a separate standalone lock - per the official Schlage CS200 Series product page: "Offered exclusively as a CS210 entrance function." The CS200 is the deadbolt section of the CS210 interconnected unit. The S206-501 serves the outside of that deadbolt section, providing the cylinder and outside housing assembly.

The CS210 platform uses two outside deadbolt designs. The B500 has a commercial spin ring - the outer collar around the outside cylinder spins freely rather than gripping, which resists wrenching and prying attacks used to defeat the cylinder. The B60 has a residential spin ring format. Confirm which deadbolt design is installed before ordering to ensure the S206-501 assembly matches the installed hardware.

Schlage CS210 Assembly: Critical Rose Compatibility Note

The Schlage CS210 Service Manual includes a critical compatibility note for outside assemblies. In August 2015, Schlage transitioned the CS210 from crimp-on roses to snap-on roses. The snap-on rose can be identified by retention dimples at the base of the rose. If the installed rose and the replacement outside assembly are not from the same rose generation, they are not compatible with each other.

Per the Service Manual, if the installed outside chassis has a crimp-on rose and needs to be updated for snap-on compatibility, the following parts are required: 06-242 levers, 08-029 rose, A501-945 reinforcement ring, and F206-496 outside chassis assembly. Confirm the rose type on the installed CS210 before ordering the S206-501 outside assembly.

Schlage Lock Parts: CS210 Deadbolt and Cylinder Specifications

Confirmed from the official CS200/CS210 platform data:

Deadbolt: 1-inch throw, hardened steel roller inside the bolt, 1-inch housing diameter. The hardened steel roller prevents sawing the bolt. The bolt automatically deadlocks when fully thrown - no additional operation is required to engage the deadlock.

Cylinder: 6-pin, solid brass, S123 keyway standard. Adjustable backset: 2-3/4-inch standard, with 2-3/8-inch and 5-inch options available.

Door Thickness: 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch standard; 1-3/8 inch available with specification.

Adjustable Escutcheon: Supports both 4-inch and 5-1/2-inch door preparation center-to-center dimensions without modification, eliminating job-site specification conflicts. Center-to-center conversion is made through a modification to the interconnect assembly, documented in the CS210 Service Manual.
