Delaney 501L - CT Style Lever Exit Device Exterior Trim - Passage Function

Yes. The 501L CT lever exit device trim is rated for doors 1-3/4 to 2 inches thick, which covers standard commercial hollow metal. Below 1-3/4 inches it is out of range, so a 1-3/8 inch interior door needs a different trim.

The Delaney 501L is a CT style lever trim for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch thick. Grade 1 lever trims in the same role include the Dexter ED1500T with a regular lever, the Pamex E9000 with an L3 lever in storeroom function for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick, and the Design Hardware LE08, a flat lever with escutcheon in entry function for the 1000R and 2000R exit devices. Note that the Pamex and Design Hardware options are keyed functions rather than passage, so the lever behavior differs from the 501L.

The Delaney 501L is passage function, so the lever is always active and there is no cylinder. For a keyed opening, the Design Hardware KIL Entry trim is an entry function Grade 1 trim with a Schlage C keyway and a flat lever, made for the 1000 and 2000 series exit devices, and the Design Hardware KIL Storeroom trim is the storeroom function version of the same trim. The Tell EDELT53 is a keyed entry escutcheon lever trim for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, and the Tell EDELT80 is the storeroom function version. Entry function lets the lever be locked or unlocked by key; storeroom keeps the lever locked at all times and retracts the latch by key only.

The Delaney 501L is a mechanical passage trim; the lever is always active and there is nothing to switch electrically. For access control, the Von Duprin E360L-BE-03 is a Grade 1 electric passage trim with the 03 lever in fail safe configuration for 33 and 35A series devices. Command Access offers electrified trims with 12V/24V operation and fail safe or fail secure options in the ET15, ET25 and ET26 series, and the 230L electrified trim for Von Duprin 98/36/23 style devices; the ET26 is Grade 1 and field reversible. Dormakaba also offers the PowerPlex P201U exit trim for rim, mortise and surface vertical rod devices.

Both are passage function exit device lever trims, meaning the lever is always active and there is no cylinder in the trim. The Delaney 501L uses the CT style lever on an escutcheon that covers a stock hollow metal door with a 161 cutout, and fits doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch thick. The Arrow SRX01 uses the Sierra lever on a rose rather than an escutcheon and is built for the Arrow ED910, S1150 and S1250 exit devices. If the door already has a 161 prep showing, the escutcheon-style 501L covers it; a rose trim does not.

No cylinder is needed. Passage trim has no keyway to fill. The Delaney CT trim line is built around a Schlage C 6-pin keyway as standard with KW1 5-pin optional, but that applies to the keyed versions of the trim, not to the 501L passage unit. All you specify on the 501L is the finish: US26D, US10B, or US19.

Corbin Russwin builds passage function trim across three device families: the 3310AET for the ED3000 Grade 1 series in rim, surface vertical rod and mortise applications, the x810ET for the ED4000 Grade 1 series covering SecureBolt, rim, surface and concealed vertical rod, and the x910ET, a heavy duty passage trim for the ED5200S, ED5200, ED5400 and ED5800 series. The Arrow SRX01 is a passage trim with the Sierra lever on a rose for the ED910, S1150 and S1250 devices. The Delaney 501L is the CT style lever passage trim, ADA compliant, in dull chrome, oil rubbed bronze and black finishes.

A lever trim like the Delaney 501L gives an ADA compliant lever that retracts the latch from outside in passage function. A pull trim gives a grip but no latch retraction unless a cylinder is added. The Tell EDPT pull trim has a cylinder hole and ships less cylinder for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, and the Design Hardware 2P-03NL is a Grade 1 pull trim with a cylinder hole in nightlatch function for the 1000R and 2000R devices. The Dexter ED1500 nightlatch trim uses a raised lip pull plate. Choose the lever if the outside must open without a key on every approach.

They are not interchangeable in function. The Delaney 501L is passage function, with the lever always active and no cylinder. The Falcon 510L is a heavy duty classroom function lever trim for the Falcon 24 and 25 series devices, so it is keyed and the lever locks. Falcon also builds the 179L, a medium duty classroom lever trim for the 1790 series, and the 212L, a medium duty escutcheon lever trim for the 20 series with shear pin protection. Choose by both the device series you are trimming and whether you need a keyed lever or an always-active one.

That is nightlatch or storeroom territory, not the passage function of the Delaney 501L, whose lever is always active. Sargent offers the 704ET, a Grade 1 heavy duty nightlatch lever trim with field reversible operation for the 700 series, the 704-ETL nightlatch lever trim with key retract for PE series devices, and the 744 Grade 1 freewheeling trim for 8700 and 8900 series surface vertical rod and mortise devices. The Dorma YR03R is a wide stile nightlatch escutcheon lever trim supplied less cylinder, and the Marks USA M195F is a storeroom function lever and rose trim with spring loaded roses for M9900 touchbar devices.

The Delaney 501L is mechanical passage trim with no cylinder and no credential. If the opening needs code entry, the Dormakaba E-Plex 201U is an electronic pushbutton exit trim in the E-Plex 2000 series for wide stile doors, and the E-Plex 5067 is a mechanical pushbutton mortise lock in the E-Plex 5000 series, also wide stile. Both control who gets in by code; the 501L leaves the outside lever open to anyone.

The Delaney 501L is a CT style lever trim and is ADA compliant, which is what most lever standards are driving at. The Von Duprin 210K-BE is a knob trim with blank escutcheon for 22 series devices and would not meet a lever standard. Lever alternatives include the Accentra 426F Augusta lever escutcheon trim for 6000 and 1800 series devices, the Accentra 446F Augusta lever trim in classroom function Grade 1, and the Marks USA M195N lever and rose trim.
