Delaney 500L - SD Style Lever Exit Device Exterior Trim - Entrance Function

On the 500L, the key does two things: it retracts the latchbolt, and it unlocks the lever so the lever then works freely until you key it back. That's what makes it an entrance trim, you can leave the door in a passage state during business hours. A storeroom trim never unlocks the lever, the key only retracts the latch and the lever stays locked. If you want that behavior instead, the Design Hardware KIL storeroom trim and the Tell EDELT80 are storeroom function, and the Falcon 510L is classroom function.

Standard is a Schlage C 6-pin cylinder, with KW1 5-pin available as an option. If your building is keyed on Schlage C you can bring the 500L into the existing system without a separate cylinder change. On a Kwikset-keyed property, order the KW1 version instead.

Plan on hollow metal. The 500L is specified to cover a stock hollow metal door with a 161 cutout, which is a 2-1/8 inch bore at a 2-3/4 inch backset, the standard commercial prep. Narrow stile aluminum storefront doors don't have that prep and generally can't take a full escutcheon trim. For narrow stile openings, BEST makes narrow stile exit trim in the 2000 and 2900 Series.

The Delaney 500L SD lever trim is built for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch thick and covers stock hollow metal doors with a 161 cutout. For a thinner door, the Tell escutcheon lever trims cover 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, in keyed entry as the EDELT53 or storeroom as the EDELT80, and the Pamex E9000 Grade 1 storeroom trim covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Match the function you need as well as the thickness: the Tell EDELT53 is the keyed entry option in that thinner range.

The Delaney 500L SD is a mechanical trim that changes state only with the key. For an opening controlled by a card reader or a scheduled unlock, use an electrified trim. The Command Access ET15, ET25 and ET26 electrified exit trims all run 12V or 24V with fail safe and fail secure options, and the ET26 is Grade 1 with a field reversible design. The Command Access 230L is the electrified version of the Von Duprin 230L trim for V96, 36 and 23 series devices. The Von Duprin E360L-BE-03 is a Grade 1 electric passage trim with the 03 lever, fail safe, for 33 and 35A series devices, and the Falcon 510L-FSA/FSE is a heavy duty electrified trim with a lever handle for 25 series devices. For pushbutton credential entry with no wiring back to a panel, the Dormakaba E-Plex 201U is an electronic pushbutton exit trim.

The Delaney 500L SD lever trim is an entrance function trim, where the key retracts the latchbolt and unlocks the lever, ordered in US26D dull chrome or US19 black. The nearest equivalents in the same keyed-entry lever family are the Design Hardware KIL entry function exit trim, which is a Grade 1 entry function trim for 1000 and 2000 series exit devices with a Schlage C keyway and flat lever, the Design Hardware LE08 entry function trim for the 1000R and 2000R devices with a flat lever and escutcheon, and the Tell EDELT53 escutcheon lever trim in keyed entry function. The Delaney 500L takes a Schlage C 6-pin cylinder as standard with KW1 5-pin optional, and the Design Hardware KIL entry trim is also built around the Schlage C keyway, so a facility already keyed to Schlage C can stay on one key system with either.

The Delaney 500L SD lever trim is an entrance function, so the key both retracts the latchbolt and unlocks the lever for continued free entry. If the outside lever must stay locked and the key is only meant to pull the latch, a storeroom or nightlatch trim is the right part instead. The Design Hardware KIL storeroom function trim covers 1000 and 2000 series devices with a Schlage C keyway and flat lever, the Tell EDELT80 is an escutcheon lever trim in storeroom function, the Pamex E9000 is a Grade 1 storeroom L3 lever trim, and the Marks USA M195F is a storeroom lever and rose trim with spring loaded roses for the M9900 touchbar. On the nightlatch side, the Sargent 704ET is a Grade 1 night latch lever trim with field reversible operation.

The 500L is a keyed entrance trim built around a Schlage C 6-pin cylinder as standard, with a KW1 5-pin option. Specify which keyway you need when you order so the trim matches the rest of your keying. Some competing trims are sold explicitly less cylinder, like the Tell exit device pull trim and the Dexter ED1000T classroom thumbpiece trim, so if you're comparing quotes, check whether the cylinder is part of the line item.

On a standard 161 prep, yes, the escutcheon is sized to cover a stock hollow metal door with that cutout. That's the usual case when you're pulling off a knob trim or an older lever escutcheon on a commercial metal door. Enlarged or non-standard prep is a different story, and you'd want to measure before ordering.

Right, the 500L unlocks the lever when you key it, so it isn't a nightlatch. For key-retracts-latch-only trim where the lever never goes free, look at the Sargent 704ET or 704-ETL nightlatch lever trims, the Corbin Russwin VT957ET nightlatch escutcheon, or the Dorma YR03R wide stile nightlatch lever trim.

The Delaney 500L SD is entrance function: the key retracts the latchbolt and unlocks the lever. Classroom function trims are keyed to lock and unlock the outside lever from the corridor side without leaving it unlocked by use. The Falcon 510L is a heavy duty classroom function trim with a lever handle for 24 and 25 series devices, the Falcon 179L is a medium duty classroom lever control trim for 1790 series devices, the Accentra 446F is a Grade 1 classroom function trim with the Augusta lever, and the Dexter ED1000T-CLRM is a classroom trim using a thumbpiece and pull plate rather than a lever. Choose by how the room is meant to be secured during use, not by the lever shape.

The Delaney 500L SD is a keyed entrance trim, so it always includes a cylinder function. Where the outside lever should simply be free at all times, passage trims are the substitute: the Arrow SRX01 is a passage function Sierra lever with rose for ED910, S1150 and S1250 devices, the Corbin Russwin 3310AET is a passage trim for the ED3000 Grade 1 series covering rim, surface vertical rod and mortise devices, the x810ET is the passage trim for the ED4000 series, and the x910ET is the heavy duty passage trim for the ED5200S, ED5200, ED5400 and ED5800 series. These give no key control at the opening, so use them only where the door does not need to be secured from the outside.

The Delaney 500L SD unlocks the lever with the key, which is not what a nightlatch opening wants. For key-retract-only with a lever, the Sargent 704-ETL is a Grade 1 heavy duty nightlatch lever trim with key retract function on PE series devices, the Sargent 704ET is the 700 series nightlatch lever trim with field reversible operation, and the Sargent 744 is a Grade 1 freewheeling trim where the key retracts the latch, for 8700 and 8900 surface vertical rod and mortise devices. The Dorma YR03R is a wide stile escutcheon trim with an R lever in nightlatch function, less cylinder, and the Accentra AU-441F is a night latch keyed lever trim with the Augusta design.

Not on the same door prep. The Delaney 500L SD is sized to cover a stock hollow metal door with a 161 cutout, which an escutcheon-style trim conceals. A rose trim leaves that cutout exposed: the Marks USA M195F is a lever and rose storeroom trim with spring loaded roses for the M9900 touchbar, the M195N is a lever and rose trim in the M195 series, and the Arrow SRX01 is a Sierra lever with rose. If the door already has a 161 prep, an escutcheon trim such as the Tell EDELT53 keyed entry or the Design Hardware LE08 with escutcheon is the closer match to what the 500L covers.

Fire rated openings are governed by the listing of the complete device and trim assembly, so confirm the device manufacturer's fire label before selecting trim. Among the comparable lever and escutcheon trims, the Accentra 121NL nightlatch trim, the 426F Augusta lever escutcheon trim for 6000 and 1800 series, the AU-441F night latch keyed lever trim and the 446F classroom trim are each listed with a fire rating of No. Where the opening is fire rated, that is a question for the device it mounts to, not a substitution you make on the trim alone.
