Accentra YAL-AU-5304LN-626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What backset does the Accentra 5304LN come with, and can I get it for a 2-3/8 inch bore?

It ships 2-3/4 inch backset as standard, which is the usual commercial prep. If your doors are bored at 2-3/8 inch (common on older or residential-weight openings), that is an extension link you specify at order time, and 3-3/4 inch and 5 inch links are available the same way for wide-stile or glass-adjacent preps. Measure from the door edge to the center of the cross bore before you decide.

2) Will the 5304LN latch into the strike that is already in my frame?

The latchbolt throws 1/2 inch in stainless steel, so it needs a strike pocket cut for a standard cylindrical latch. The lock ships with a 1-1/4 inch curved lip strike sized for a 1-3/4 inch door, and all the strikes are reversible, so the same one works either hand. If your frame has a deeper reveal or a stop that the standard lip does not reach across, other lip lengths are available to order. Swapping a like-for-like cylindrical lockset usually means the existing strike stays put.

3) Do I need to specify handing on the Accentra 5304LN lever lock?

No handing to call out. The 5304LN is non-handed and reversible, and the front is universal so it works on both flat and beveled door edges. One part number covers left and right hand openings, which is why property managers stocking spares for a building only need to hold one lock rather than a pair.

4) Can I use the Accentra 5304LN on a fire rated door?

Yes. The Augusta 5304LN carries a UL/cUL fire rating up to 3 hours, which covers the full range of rated openings you would meet in a stair enclosure, corridor, or tenant separation. It is also windstorm certified, though you should confirm what your local code requires for that application. On the strength side it is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.2, Series 4000, Grade 2.

5) What is the entrance function on the 5304LN, and how does the guardbolt work?

Entrance function: the lock is keyed from the outside and the inside lever is always free for egress. What makes it usable on an exterior or tenant door is the guardbolt, which deadlocks the latchbolt as soon as the door closes so the latch cannot be carded or shimmed back. That guardbolt is standard on every locking function in the 5300 line, not an add-on.

6) What cylinder and keying comes with the Accentra 5304LN?

Standard build is a brass 6-pin cylinder, keyed random, with two keys in the box. If your facility runs a 7-pin master system, this is the wrong lock for it, because 7-pin is not offered on the 5300LN. Locksmiths standardizing a building on 6-pin should plan the keying at order time rather than assuming keyed-alike out of the carton, since random keying is what ships by default.

7) I need locks on offices, closets and restrooms in the same building. Does the 5304LN cover all of them?

No. The 5304LN is entrance function only, keyed outside. For unlocked hall and closet doors you want a passage lever like the Falcon B101, a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical passage lever, or the Arrow GL01 Sierra lever passage lock, also Grade 2 and rated 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors like the Accentra. Restrooms need privacy function, such as the Hager 2540 or the Arrow MK02-TA. Storerooms where the lever must stay locked at all times take a storeroom lock, the Cal-Royal AG05 or Hager 2580 with the Withnell lever. Same door prep across all of them, different function.

8) I need a heavier lever lock than the Accentra 5304LN for a high-traffic entry door. What should I use instead?

Step up to the Dexter C1000 Series Entry/Office lever lock, which is Grade 1 with a clutching lever and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Accentra 5304LN Augusta is Grade 2 and adjusts from 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. Grade 1 is the higher ANSI/BHMA cycle and strength tier, so for an abused entrance the Dexter C1000 is the specification move; check the door thickness first, since the Dexter tops out at 1-3/4 inch where the Accentra continues to 2 inch.

9) What is the difference between the Accentra 5304LN entry lever and a storeroom lever like the Hager 2580 or Cal-Royal AG05?

Function, not construction. The Accentra 5304LN Augusta is an entrance-function lever, so the outside lever can be left unlocked for business hours and relocked. The Hager 2580 with Withnell lever is a Grade 2 storeroom function for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lockset with a deadlocking latchbolt for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. On a storeroom lock the outside lever is always locked and key-only, with the inside lever always free to exit. Choose storeroom for a supply or mechanical room that must never be left open, and the entry-function 5304LN for a door staff need to unlock during the day.

10) Which classroom-function lever should I order instead of the Accentra 5304LN for a school door?

For classrooms use the Cal-Royal AG03, a Grade 2 classroom lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway, keyed different, on a 2-3/4 inch backset, which matches the 2-3/4 inch standard backset of the Accentra 5304LN Augusta. For the higher tier, the Dexter C1000 Classroom is Grade 1 with a clutching lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Dexter C1000 Classroom Security adds a second cylinder so the inside lever can be locked down from within the room. The 5304LN is entrance function, which is not the same operation a classroom door needs.

11) Which lever lock should I use instead of the Accentra 5304LN on a door that needs to release on a fire alarm?

Use an electrified lock. The Corbin Russwin CL33903 is a Grade 1 fail safe electrified cylindrical lever lock operating on 12VAC/DC for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, and is also offered with the NZ lever on a D rose. Fail safe means the lock unlocks when power is removed, which is how an access-controlled or alarm-released opening is built. The Accentra 5304LN Augusta is a mechanical key-operated entrance lock with no electrical connection, so it cannot be tied into a release circuit.

12) What finishes does the Accentra 5304LN Augusta lever come in?

Nine finishes are orderable: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613E dark oxidized satin bronze equivalent, 619 satin nickel, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, plus BSP black suede and WSP white suede powder coats. The brass finishes 605 and 606 are PVD as standard, so they hold up outdoors and in high-touch corridors better than a lacquered brass would. 626 satin chrome is the usual pick when you are matching existing commercial hardware in a building.

13) Is a Grade 2 cylindrical lever like the 5304LN enough for a school or hospital corridor, or should I go Grade 1?

Grade 2 to ANSI/BHMA A156.2 Series 4000 covers commercial traffic and the 5304LN is built for it, heavy gauge steel, zinc plated and dichromated. Where a door sees constant abuse (a main entry, a gym, a public restroom in a high school), buyers usually step up to Grade 1. In that case the Corbin Russwin CL3100 Series CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant cylindrical lever rated for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors, and the Falcon K Series K101 is a Grade 1 fire rated cylindrical lock spanning 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch doors. Both of those named models are non-keyed passage function, so match the function to the opening before substituting.

14) What is a comparable Grade 2 commercial entry lever if the Accentra Augusta is not the lever style I want?

The Hager 2525 is the closest straight equivalent, a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle, rated 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, so it covers thinner openings than the 5304LN does as standard. The Falcon B511CP6D is another Grade 2 cylindrical lever, entry/office function, medium duty. Cal-Royal's AG00 is a Grade 2 entrance lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway and 2-3/8 inch backset, which is the one to look at if your building is already keyed to Schlage C.

15) Can I put the Accentra 5304LN on an X-ray room or other lead-lined door?

No. Lead shielding is not offered on the 5300LN line, so a radiology or imaging suite door that requires a lead-lined lock body needs a different product. Everything else in a healthcare facility (offices, corridors, staff entries) is fair game for the 5304LN.

16) Can I add a keypad or electrified access control to the Accentra 5304LN Augusta lever?

The 5304LN is a mechanical key-in-lever lock, no electrification and no code entry. If the opening needs credential or code access in the same cylindrical prep, look at the Corbin Russwin CL33903, a Grade 1 fail safe electrified cylindrical lever running 12VAC/DC for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors, or a standalone mechanical keypad set such as the Lockey 2835, which takes 1-3/16 to 2 inch doors and needs no wiring. The Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock if you want battery power rather than a wired feed.

17) Can the Accentra 5304LN replace an existing knob lockset on the same door?

If the existing lockset is a standard cylindrical bored set on a 2-3/4 inch backset, the 5304LN drops into the same prep, and the universal front handles a flat or beveled edge either way. Going from knob to lever also gets you a lever handle, which is what most facilities move to for accessibility. What to verify first: the door thickness must land in 1-3/4 to 2 inches, and the cross bore has to be on 2-3/4 inch backset unless you order the 2-3/8 inch extension link.

18) The door does not need to lock, just latch. What is the non-keyed version to order instead of an entry lever?

For a latching, non-locking opening use a passage lever such as the Falcon B101, a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical passage lever lock with a non-handed design, or the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever, which covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. Both are the same Grade 2 tier as the Accentra 5304LN Augusta entry lever, but the passage function has no cylinder and the lever always retracts the latch from both sides. If the opening later needs keying, the entry-function 5304LN is the one that accepts a key.

19) Is a Grade 3 entrance lever like the Cal-Royal AUS00 or Callan Artino a substitute for the Accentra 5304LN?

They perform the same job at a lighter tier. The Cal-Royal AUS00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office lever with a solid brass forged body for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Callan Artino is a Grade 3 entrance leverset. The Accentra 5304LN Augusta is Grade 2 and covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. If the project specification calls for ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 or the door is a rated commercial opening, the Grade 3 units will not meet it; for light interior or residential-scale traffic they are the simpler option.

20) Does a dummy lever such as the BEST 7KC 1DT or Callan Bentley work in place of the Accentra 5304LN?

No. A dummy trim is a fixed pull with no latch and no cylinder. The BEST 7KC Series single dummy trim is Grade 2 medium duty and non-keyed, the BEST 9K Series 1DT is Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed, and the Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever. They mount to the face of the door for an inactive leaf or a closet pull. The Accentra 5304LN Augusta is a keyed entrance cylindrical lock with a latchbolt, so the two are not interchangeable even though the lever looks similar on the door.

21) We want to stop issuing keys. What keyless lever replaces an Accentra 5304LN entry lock?

Two directions. The Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock, the same grade tier as the Accentra 5304LN Augusta. For a battery-free option, the Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with ADA compliance for doors 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch, and the Lockey 2835DC adds a double combination. Note the Lockey 2835 units are passage function, meaning the code retracts the latch rather than holding the door in a locked entrance state the way the keyed 5304LN does.

22) The opening needs a knob rather than a lever. What is the equivalent to the Accentra 5304LN in a knob?

The Arrow HK11-BB is a turn-pushbutton entrance cylindrical lock with a ball knob and a conventional cylinder, Grade 2, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. It is the same entrance function and grade as the Accentra 5304LN Augusta, with a knob in place of the Augusta lever. Keep in mind that lever trim is what ADA-governed openings generally call for, so confirm the accessibility requirement before switching the trim style.

23) What holds up better than the Accentra 5304LN where levers get kicked or hung on?

Look at the vandal resistant and pressure-release designs. The Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant cylindrical lever lock, fire rated, for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon T101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical lever with pressure release technology. Both are passage function, so they suit a corridor or stair door that does not lock. The Accentra 5304LN Augusta is Grade 2 with an entrance function and is UL/cUL fire rated up to 3 hours, so if the door must be keyed the 5304LN remains the functional match while these two are the answer where abuse, not keying, is the problem.

24) A residential-style entry lever like the Deltana Manchester was specified. How does that compare to the Accentra 5304LN Augusta?

They serve different openings. The Deltana 6201 Manchester entry lever fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, as do the Deltana 6411 Morant and 6431 Linstead entry levers. These are decorative entry trim aimed at residential and light-commercial doors. The Accentra 5304LN Augusta is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical lock with a 2-3/4 inch standard backset and UL/cUL fire rating up to 3 hours, which is what an inspected commercial or institutional opening is specified against. If the drawing calls for an ANSI/BHMA grade or a fire label, the Accentra is the one that carries it.

25) Is the Falcon B511CP6D the same thing as the Accentra 5304LN?

Close but not identical in function. The Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical lever lock with an entry/office function, and the Accentra 5304LN Augusta is Grade 2 with an entrance function; both are keyed cylindrical levers at the same grade. Entry/office typically adds a pushbutton on the inside for holding the outside lever unlocked. The Accentra 5304LN is furnished with a brass 6-pin keyed-random cylinder and two keys, and is non-handed, so verify the keying and keyway requirement before treating either as a drop-in for the other.
