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

It does. The 501L SD escutcheon trim will cover stock hollow metal doors prepped with the standard 161 cutout, so on a retrofit you are usually working with the hole already in the door rather than cutting new prep.

No. The 501L needs 1-3/4 to 2 inch door thickness and is sized to cover a 161 prep in hollow metal, which narrow stile aluminum doors do not have. For narrow stile openings, BEST Precision offers the 2901 narrow stile lever trim and the 2001 narrow stile pull trim for its 2000 Series devices.

No - the Delaney 501L is passage function, which leaves the lever always active with no cylinder, so it will not secure a classroom. Classroom-function options include the Falcon 510L heavy duty lever trim for 24/25 Series devices, the Falcon 179L medium duty lever control trim for 1790 Series, the Accentra 446F with Augusta lever in Grade 1, and the Dexter ED1000T-CLRM-TP-NC Grade 1 classroom trim, which uses a thumbpiece and pull plate and ships less cylinder rather than a lever.

The Arrow SRX01 is the nearest straight equivalent: it is an exit device trim in passage function with a Sierra lever, matching the Delaney 501L's passage function where the lever is always active with no cylinder. The difference is the mounting style - the Arrow SRX01 uses a rose behind the lever, while the Delaney 501L uses an escutcheon sized to cover a stock hollow metal door with a 161 cutout. The Arrow trim is built for the ED910, S1150 and S1250 devices, so confirm your device series before swapping.

The Delaney 501L SD lever trim is built for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch thick. On a thinner 1-3/8 inch door, the Tell escutcheon lever trims cover 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, in keyed entry (EDELT53) or storeroom (EDELT80), and the Pamex E9000 storeroom L3 lever trim is listed at 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, so it spans both ranges.

No. The Delaney 501L is passage function, meaning the lever is always active and retracts the latch on entry. A dummy trim does not operate the device at all - it is a fixed pull. The Detex 02BN is a dummy S-lever trim with a blank escutcheon for Value Series devices, the Von Duprin 230DT is a dummy trim with a 10 gauge steel escutcheon for 22 Series, and the Dexter ED1500T-DUMM-PULL is a dummy function trim with a handle pull plate. Choose those only when the exterior side is meant to be non-operating.

The Delaney SD lever trim line is built around a Schlage C 6-pin keyway as standard with KW1 5-pin available as an option. On the 501L passage version there is no cylinder in use, since the lever is always active. That keying note matters if you are ordering the keyed versions of the same SD lever trim for other openings and want them all on one key system.

Yes, the 501L is an ADA compliant lever trim. The lever shape operates without tight grasping or wrist twisting, which is what the accessibility requirement is aimed at, and in passage function there is no key operation on the outside at all.

The Delaney 501L is a mechanical passage trim with the lever always active. For access control, the Von Duprin E360L-BE-03 is a Grade 1 electric passage exit trim with an 03 lever and fail safe operation for 33/35A Series devices. The Command Access ET15, ET25 and ET26 electrified exit trims run 12V or 24V with fail safe or fail secure options, the ET26 being Grade 1 and field reversible, and the Command Access 230L electrifies the Von Duprin 230L trim for V96/36/23 Series devices. Falcon's 510L-FSA/FSE is the electrified heavy duty lever trim for 25 Series devices.

Corbin Russwin publishes passage function trim across three Grade 1 device families: the 3310AET for ED3000 Series, the x810ET for ED4000 Series, and the x910ET heavy duty trim for the ED5200S, ED5200, ED5400 and ED5800 Series. All three are passage function like the Delaney 501L SD lever, so the lever operation matches - you are matching the trim to the device series on the drawing.

Different intent. The Delaney 501L is passage - no cylinder, lever always active, anyone can pull the door open from outside. The Sargent 704ET is a Grade 1 heavy duty night latch lever trim that is field reversible, and the 704-ETL adds key retract; on those the key retracts the latch and the lever is otherwise secure. Accentra's 121NL and the Corbin Russwin VT957ET are also nightlatch trims. Specify the 501L only where the opening is intended to stay unlocked from the outside.

The Delaney 501L SD lever trim mounts on an escutcheon sized to cover a stock hollow metal door with a 161 cutout. If your door prep is already clean and you prefer a rose, the Marks USA M195N is a lever and rose exit trim and the M195F pairs a lever and rose with spring loaded roses in storeroom function for M9900 touchbar devices, and the Arrow SRX01 is a passage Sierra lever with rose. Note that a rose will not conceal a 161 prep the way the 501L escutcheon does.

Yes, if you are willing to change trim type. The Dormakaba E-Plex 201U is an electronic pushbutton exit trim in the E-Plex 2000 Series for wide stile applications, and the PowerPlex P201U works on rim, mortise and surface vertical rod devices. Those give you code-based control on the outside, where the Delaney 501L SD lever leaves the exterior lever free at all times.
