Delaney E Series - CT Style Grade 2 Dummy Cylindrical Lever, Dull Chrome (US26D)

A dummy lever is a pull only. The Delaney E Series CT dummy has no latch and no working mechanism, so the lever does not turn anything and the door will not latch from it. Use it on the inactive leaf of a pair of doors, on closet or pantry doors held shut by a ball catch or roller catch, or anywhere you want the same lever look as the working openings without a latching function.

No. There is no latchbolt with this one. It's a dummy function lever, mounted as a surface pull, so the door needs a ball catch, roller catch, magnetic catch or a working lock on the other leaf to stay closed. If you need the door to latch, order the passage or privacy version of the CT lever instead.

It's built for commercial openings. The E Series CT lever meets and exceeds BHMA/ANSI A156.2 Series 4000, Grade 2 at 400,000 cycles, and meets Federal Standard FF-H-106C. Grade 2 is the usual specification for multi-family corridors, offices and light commercial traffic.

No. The E Series CT dummy has no latch and no privacy button, so it cannot secure a door. For a bathroom or bedroom you want a privacy lever. If you also want to see at a glance whether the room is occupied, the Cal-Royal INDLEV-20 is a privacy leverset with a red/green occupancy indicator, offered in 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch backsets and adjustable for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.

No. The Delaney E Series CT Style 3V5052 is a dummy function lever, meaning it is a fixed pull used as a counterpart to functioning hardware or where no latch is needed - it has no latch and no locking mechanism. For a restroom or other occupancy-controlled door, the Cal-Royal INDLEV-20 is a privacy-with-indicator leverset that shows a red/green occupancy indicator and fits 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch backsets on doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick.

The CT dummy lever is finished in US26D dull chrome, which is the satin chrome commercial standard and the same code used on hinges, closers and exit devices across most brands. If your existing openings are specified US26D or 626, this will read as the same finish family.

Handing is not a locking concern here, since a dummy lever has no latch to reverse. What matters is which way the lever should point on the door face, so order the lever oriented to match the adjacent working hardware on the opening.

Yes, and that's the common case in a retrofit. The CT dummy is part of the E Series cylindrical bored lockset line, so it mounts to the same door face as the working levers in the family and covers an existing 2-1/8 inch cross bore. On a new door with no prep, it only needs surface fasteners since there is no latch bore to cut.

That is what it's for. The CT dummy carries the same E Series CT lever design and US26D dull chrome finish as the entry, passage and privacy functions in the family, so closet doors and inactive leaves look identical to the locking openings while you only pay for a latch where you need one.

The Delaney E Series CT Style 3V5052 is a dummy cylindrical lever with no latch, so there is no backset bore to match the way there is on a latching lockset. By contrast, a functioning lever such as the Cal-Royal INDLEV-20 has to be specified to the opening: it is built for 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch backsets and adjusts to doors 1-3/8 inch through 1-3/4 inch thick. If your door is already bored for a latching lever, confirm how the dummy is to be mounted before you order.

The Delaney E Series CT Style 3V5052 is rated Grade 2 and states it meets and exceeds BHMA/ANSI A156.2 Series 4000, Grade 2 at 400,000 cycles, and meets the FF-H-106C federal standard. The Cal-Royal INDLEV-20 is described as standard duty commercial grade. If your spec sheet calls out an ANSI cycle figure, the Delaney carries the published A156.2 Grade 2 statement.

The Delaney E Series CT Style 3V5052 is finished US26D dull chrome, which is the common satin chrome used across commercial openings. The Cal-Royal INDLEV-20 privacy indicator leverset is listed by function and backset rather than by a stated finish, so confirm the finish code when you pair it. Lever styling also differs between the two lines, so if visual match across a corridor matters, keep active and dummy levers within the Delaney E Series CT style.
