Delaney Hardware 697112 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will this exit trim cover the 161 prep already in my door?
It will. The escutcheon on the 500L MD lever trim is sized to cover a stock hollow metal door with the standard 161 cylindrical cutout, so you are not patching or filling the existing prep when you swap trim onto the device.
2) What does entrance function mean on this Delaney lever trim, and how is it different from storeroom?
Entrance function on the 500L MD trim means the key does two things: it retracts the latchbolt and it unlocks the lever, so the lever can be left free for business hours and re-locked by key. A storeroom trim never unlocks the lever at all, the key only retracts the latch. If you want the lever permanently locked from outside, look at a storeroom trim such as the Design Hardware KIL storeroom function trim or the Pamex E9000 storeroom trim instead.
3) What keyway does the Delaney 500L trim come with, and can I key it to my Kwikset system?
It ships standard with a Schlage C 6-pin keyway cylinder. A KW1 5-pin cylinder is the optional alternative, so a building already keyed to Kwikset KW1 can be matched, but you have to call that option out when you order rather than assuming the stock cylinder.
4) My door is 1-3/8 inch thick - can I use the Delaney 500L MD trim, and what fits if not?
The Delaney 500L MD covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, so a 1-3/8 inch door falls below its range. The Pamex E9000 storeroom trim lists a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range, and the Tell EDELT53 entry function escutcheon lever trim lists 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, which both reach the thinner door.
5) I need the lever to stay locked at all times with key access only - what should I use instead of the Delaney 500L MD entrance trim?
Use a storeroom function trim. The Delaney 500L MD is entrance function, where the key retracts the latchbolt and unlocks the lever, so the lever can be left unlocked. Storeroom alternatives include the Design Hardware KIL storeroom function exit trim, Grade 1 with a Schlage C keyway and flat lever for 1000 and 2000 series devices, the Pamex E9000 Grade 1 storeroom trim with L3 lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Tell EDELT80 escutcheon lever trim in storeroom function for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
6) Is a night latch lever trim like the Sargent 704ET the same thing as the Delaney 500L MD entrance trim?
No. The Sargent 704ET and 704-ETL are Grade 1 heavy duty night latch lever trims where the key retracts the latch, and the Corbin Russwin VT957ET is a nightlatch escutcheon trim as well. On night latch trim the lever stays rigid until the key is turned. The Delaney 500L MD is entrance function - the key retracts the latchbolt and also unlocks the lever so it can be left in a passage state.
7) Is this lever trim ADA compliant for a public entrance?
Yes, the 500L MD lever trim is ADA compliant. The lever shape is what does it, no tight grasping or wrist twisting to operate, which is why lever trim gets specified over knob trim on accessible entrances.
8) I need the outside lever to stay locked at all times with the key only pulling the latch. Is this the right trim?
No. The 500L MD trim is entrance function, meaning the key unlocks the lever as well as retracting the latch. For key-retract-only operation with a lever that never unlocks, a night latch trim is what you want, such as the Sargent 704ET night latch lever trim or the Dorma YR03R nightlatch escutcheon lever trim.
9) Can I get this Delaney exit trim electrified for an access control system?
The 500L MD is a mechanical key-operated lever trim, not an electrified one. If the opening needs to be released by a card reader or remote, you want electrified exit trim, for example the Command Access ET15 or ET25 with 12V/24V operation and fail safe or fail secure options, or the Von Duprin E360L-BE-03 electric passage trim.
10) Do I need to buy a cylinder separately for the Delaney 500L MD trim?
No separate cylinder purchase is called for. The trim is specified with a Schlage C 6-pin cylinder as standard, with a KW1 5-pin as the optional substitute. That differs from trims sold less cylinder, like the Corbin Russwin VT957ET or the Tell exit device pull trim with cylinder hole, where you source the cylinder yourself.
11) What is a simpler option than the Delaney 500L MD lever trim if the outside only needs a pull with key access?
If no lever is needed outside, a night latch pull trim does the job. The Design Hardware 2P-03NL pull trim has a cylinder hole and night latch function for 1000R and 2000R exit devices, the Tell EDPT pull trim comes with a cylinder hole less cylinder, and the Dexter ED1500 series nightlatch trim uses a raised lip pull plate. The Delaney 500L MD differs in that its lever can be unlocked by key for free entry, which a pull trim cannot do.
12) What should I specify instead of the Delaney 500L MD if the opening needs access control or an electrified lever?
Electrified exit trim handles that. The Command Access ET15, ET25 and ET26 trims run 12V or 24V with fail safe and fail secure options, the ET26 with Grade 1 construction and a field reversible design, and the Command Access 230L electrifies Von Duprin 230L trim. Dormakaba also offers pushbutton exit trim in the E-Plex 201U and the PowerPlex P201U for rim, mortise and SVR devices. The Delaney 500L MD is a mechanical key-operated entrance trim with a Schlage C 6-pin cylinder standard.
13) For a classroom door, is the Delaney 500L MD the right trim or should I use something else?
Classroom function is a different trim. The Falcon 510L is a heavy duty classroom function trim with a lever handle for 24/25 series devices, the Falcon 179L is a medium duty classroom lever control trim for the 1790 series, and the Accentra 446F is a Grade 1 classroom function trim with the Augusta lever. The Delaney 500L MD is entrance function, where the key retracts the latchbolt and unlocks the lever.
14) If the outside trim should always be unlocked, what replaces the Delaney 500L MD?
Passage function trim, which has no cylinder. The Arrow SRX01 is a passage function Sierra lever trim with rose for ED910, S1150 and S1250 devices, the Corbin Russwin 3310AET is passage function for the ED300 series, and the x910ET is passage function heavy duty trim for the ED5200S, ED5200, ED5400 and ED5800 series. The Delaney 500L MD is keyed entrance function with a Schlage C cylinder.
15) I need an ADA compliant lever trim - how does the Delaney 500L MD compare to lever options from other brands?
The Delaney 500L MD is ADA compliant and uses the MD lever, offered in US26D dull chrome, US10B oil rubbed bronze and US19 black. Other lever-style exit trims include the Design Hardware LE08 Grade 1 entry function trim with a flat lever and escutcheon, the Dexter ED1500T Grade 1 trim with a regular lever, and the Marks USA M195F storeroom function lever and rose trim with spring loaded roses. Knob trim such as the Von Duprin 210K-BE is not a lever design.
16) What finishes does the Delaney 500L MD lever exit trim come in?
Three: US26D dull chrome, US10B oil rubbed bronze, and US19 black. US26D is the usual match for satin chrome exit devices and hollow metal openings; US10B and US19 are the choices when you are matching darker storefront or decorative hardware across a property.
17) Will a blank escutcheon or dummy trim work in place of the Delaney 500L MD?
Only if the opening needs no outside operation. The Von Duprin 230DT is dummy trim with a heavy duty 10 gauge steel escutcheon for 22 series devices, the Detex 02BN is a dummy S-lever trim with blank escutcheon, and the Falcon 212L is a blank escutcheon lever trim for the 20 series. None of those give key entry. The Delaney 500L MD is entrance function with a key that retracts the latchbolt and unlocks the lever.
18) What entry-function alternative exists if I do not want a lever on the outside of the door?
A thumbpiece trim. The Tell EDTHP53 is a thumbpiece exit device trim in entry function for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Dexter ED1000T-CLRM-TP-NC is a Grade 1 thumbpiece by pull plate by cylinder trim supplied less cylinder. The Delaney 500L MD instead uses the MD lever and covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors.
