Delaney Hardware 350551 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is a dummy lever and does the Delaney Cira dummy actually latch the door?
A dummy lever is trim only. The Cira dummy is a solid, non-turning pull mounted to the door face, with no latch, no spindle, and no bore-through mechanism. It's for doors held shut by something else, roller catches, ball catches, magnetic catches, or an inactive leaf on a pair of French doors. If the door needs to stay latched on its own, you need a passage lever instead, not a dummy.
2) Do I have to order the Cira dummy lever left hand or right hand?
No handing to specify. The Cira dummy is reversible and fits left hand and right hand doors, so one part number covers every opening in the run. That matters on a multi-door job, you order quantity, not a hand breakdown, and nothing gets returned because the swing was called wrong.
3) Is the Delaney Cira dummy lever rated for commercial traffic or an apartment turnover?
Residential duty. The Cira dummy is a Grade 3 residential lever, which suits single family, condo, and apartment interior doors and light multi-family turnover work. For a school, hospital, or office corridor where the spec calls for Grade 1 or Grade 2 hardware, this won't meet it. Bear in mind a dummy carries no latch load at all, it takes only the pull force of a hand, so grade matters less here than it would on a working latchset.
4) What finishes does the Delaney Cira dummy lever come in?
Three: US15 Satin Nickel, US26 Polished Chrome, and US12P Tuscany Bronze. Those are the standard US finish codes, so if the passage and privacy levers already on your doors are marked US15, the satin nickel Cira dummy will read as the same finish family on the inactive leaf.
5) I'm putting levers on a pair of French doors. How many Cira dummy levers do I need?
This is a single dummy, one lever, one side of one door. On a pair of French doors where the inactive leaf is held by flush bolts or a catch, you'd typically run one dummy on each face of that leaf you want a pull on, so count faces, not doors. The active leaf still needs a working latchset. Order the dummy by the piece and match the finish to the active door's hardware.
6) What tools and prep do I need to install a Delaney Cira dummy lever?
A screwdriver. The Cira dummy surface mounts, so there's no 2-1/8 inch cross bore, no 1 inch edge bore, and no strike prep in the frame, which is why it goes onto a slab or an already hung door without a boring jig. Hardware and instructions come in the box. If the door already has a bored 2-1/8 inch hole from a removed latchset, the dummy rose won't necessarily cover it, plug and patch first.
7) Can I use the Cira dummy lever on a closet or pantry door instead of a passage set?
Yes, and it's a common use. On a closet, pantry, or cabinet style door held by a roller or magnetic catch, the Cira dummy gives you a lever to pull on without the cost and prep of a latching set. Where it won't work is any door that has to stay closed on its own or needs to be pulled shut against a stop, there's no latch to hold it.
8) Will the Delaney Cira dummy lever match Cira passage and privacy levers on my other doors?
It's the same Cira lever design, a straight lever on a round rose, so the dummy reads identically to the other Cira functions on adjacent openings. That's the usual way to spec it, working passage or privacy sets on the doors that latch and the dummy on the inactive leaves and closets, all in one finish. Match the US code, not the finish name, when you order.
