Delaney Hardware D20720PxL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Delaney Dayton dummy lever actually latch, or is it just a pull?
It's trim only. The Dayton dummy lever has no latch and no strike, so it does not hold the door shut. The lever is fixed and used as decorative trim or a surface-mounted pull, typically on French doors or closet doors held closed by a roller catch, ball catch, or other means. If you need the door to latch, you need a passage or privacy lever instead.
2) Will the Dayton dummy lever fit a 1-3/8 inch interior door?
Yes. The Dayton is adjustable from 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch thick doors, which covers standard older interior doors at 1-3/8 and modern 1-3/4 inch doors, in wood or metal.
3) Can I mount a Dayton dummy lever on a door that already has a 2-1/8 inch bore from an old knob?
Yes. The Dayton is specified for a 2-1/8 inch cross bore with a 1 inch edge bore and works with either a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, so it drops onto a standard bored-door prep left behind by an old knob or lever. Installation needs only a screwdriver, and all parts and instructions come in the box.
4) Do I get one lever or a pair with the Delaney Dayton dummy?
One. The Dayton dummy is a single dummy for one side of the door. If you want levers on both faces, order two, and on a pair of French doors that's typically four total.
5) Does a dummy lever need to be handed, and how do I pick left or right?
Yes, levers are handed because the lever points toward the hinge side when installed. The Dayton dummy is ordered as Left Hand or Right Hand. Stand outside the door (the side you're mounting the lever on) and note which side the hinges are on; that side determines the hand. On a French door pair, the two leaves usually take opposite hands.
6) How far does the Dayton lever stick out, and how long is the lever itself?
Projection is 2-5/16 inches off the door face and the lever is 4-1/8 inches long. Worth checking on French doors close to a wall return or a cased opening where a long lever could swing into adjacent trim or another door leaf.
7) What finishes does the Delaney Dayton dummy lever come in for matching other doors in a unit?
Three: US15 Satin Nickel, US26 Polished Chrome, and US19 Black. All three are offered in both Left Hand and Right Hand, so you can keep one finish consistent across every opening in a unit regardless of door swing.
8) Is the Dayton lever rated for a commercial building or apartment corridor?
It's a Grade 3 residential lever. Grade 3 is the light-duty ANSI/BHMA tier, suited to homes, apartment interiors, and closets rather than commercial corridors or high-traffic institutional openings. For a public or high-cycle opening, step up to a Grade 2 or Grade 1 cylindrical lockset.
