Delaney Belton - Grade 3 Passage Knobset

It does. The Belton uses the standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore with a 1 inch edge bore, which is the prep already in nearly every bored door, and a 2-3/4 inch backset. The latch face is a 1 x 2.25 inch round corner plate, so if your old latch had a round corner face of that size no new mortising is needed.

The latch has a 1/2 inch throw and ships to work with a 2-1/4 inch T-strike. If the frame already has a T-strike mortise of that size, the new latch lines up with it. A full lip or round corner strike in the frame means you would need to swap the strike or re-mortise.

No. Passage means the Belton always latches and always turns freely from both sides, with no lock at all. It suits hallways, closets, and pantry doors. For a bedroom or bath you want a privacy function with a push button or turn, such as the Pamex FTF Baron privacy knob or the Dexter C2000 privacy knob.

The Belton is Grade 3 and catalogued as residential, which is the right duty level for apartment interiors, closets, and single-family homes. For a commercial corridor or a school hallway, step up: the Falcon W101 passage knob is Grade 2 with a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Schlage D10S or Falcon X101 are Grade 1 heavy duty passage knobs.

The Belton is specified for a 2-3/4 inch backset with a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and 1 inch edge bore. For a 2-3/8 inch backset opening, the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore passage knob is preconfigured with a 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike. Adjustable-backset options include the Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob combo pack and the Sure-Loc Bergen round knob 6-pack.

The Pamex FTF Baron knob lockset in passage function is the closest match on paper: both are Grade 3 non-keyed passage knobsets. The Delaney Belton is rated for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick, while the Pamex FTF passage covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, so the Belton is the one to keep if the opening is a thicker door. Knob styling differs - Belton is a round knob with a commercial appearance, Baron is Pamex's own knob design.

Step up to a Grade 2 or Grade 1 cylindrical passage knob. The Dexter C2000 passage ball knob and the Corbin Russwin CK4410 Global knob are both Grade 2 passage/closet locks, and the Falcon W101 is a Grade 2 passage/closet knob with a 2-3/4 inch backset and a fire rating. For the heaviest traffic, the Schlage D10S passage latch and the Corbin Russwin CK4310 are Grade 1. The Delaney Belton is a Grade 3 residential-duty knobset, so these are the ones to specify for commercial corridors and closets.

The Belton is a passage function knobset, so it has no locking button and is meant for halls and closets. For bed and bath use a privacy knob: the Cal-Royal BER20 and the Pamex FTF are both Grade 3 privacy knob locksets for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Dexter C2000 privacy ball knob is the Grade 2 option.

For a labeled opening, specify a knob lock the manufacturer lists as fire rated. The Falcon W101 is a Grade 2 passage/closet knob lock with a fire rating, and the Falcon X101 is the Grade 1 heavy duty passage knobset with a fire rating and an interchangeable core, covering doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. The Delaney Belton is a Grade 3 residential passage knobset for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.

Both. The Belton ships with combination screws that handle wood or metal door mounting, and the mounting screws are concealed behind the rose once assembled.

Three: US32D stainless steel, US12P Tuscany bronze, and US19 black. The knob is a round commercial-looking design, so US32D is the usual pick when you are matching other satin stainless hardware in a building.

The Belton itself is non-keyed passage only, so for a keyed opening in the same Grade 3 residential class you would look at the Callan Canova or Callan Santo Grade 3 entrance knobsets, the Cal-Royal BER00 entrance/office Grade 3 knob with Kwikset keyway, or the Pamex FTF Baron entrance/office knob. Finishes will not be a perfect visual match across brands, so mock one up before committing a whole building.

No handing to call out. It is a cylindrical bored passage set with the same knob on both faces and a reversible-style latch prep, so left and right hand doors take the same part. All you choose is the finish.

No. A dummy knob is surface-mounted trim with no latch, so it will not hold a door closed. The Schlage A170 single dummy trim, the BEST 6K single dummy trim, the Cal-Royal BA40 dummy knob, and the Bravura Biloxi dummy knobset are all dummy function and are used on inactive or closet-pair leaves. The Belton is a passage knobset with a working 1/2 inch throw latch and a 2-1/4 inch T-strike, which is what an operating hall or closet door needs.

Yes. The Bravura Albany and Bravura Lynchburg are Grade 2 passage knobsets with round trim, the Bravura Dallas is a Grade 2 passage knobset with rectangular trim, and the Kwikset 200P Polo is a passage hall and closet knob supplied with a 6AL latch and round corner strike. The Delaney Belton is the Grade 3 round-knob option and ships with concealed mounting screws and combination screws for wood or metal doors.

No - a passage knob latches but never locks. Storeroom function keeps the outside knob locked at all times and is the usual choice for supply and janitorial closets. The Sargent 6G04 is a Grade 2 storeroom/closet knob lock with a single cylinder, and the Sargent 8XG04 is the Grade 1 heavy duty version with a 2-3/4 inch backset. Keep the Delaney Belton for hall and closet doors that only need to latch.

The Arrow RK01 is a Grade 2 non-keyed passage cylindrical lock with a ball knob for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Dexter C2000 passage is a Grade 2 non-clutching ball knob passage lock over the same thickness range. The Arrow MK01 is the Grade 2 MK Series passage knob. The Delaney Belton uses a round knob with a functional commercial appearance and covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
