Delaney Hardware 3M5012 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Delaney E Series MD passage leverset fit a 1-3/8 inch door, and what about a thicker 2 inch slab?
Door thickness range on the E Series MD passage lever is 1-3/8 to 2 inches, handled by an adjustable mounting plate, so it covers standard 1-3/4 inch commercial doors, older 1-3/8 inch interior doors, and thicker slabs up to 2 inches without a separate kit. No spacer or long-screw pack to order for the thick end of that range.
2) What backset does the Delaney E Series MD lever come with, and can I get 2-3/8 inch for a residential door prep?
Standard is a 2-3/4 inch UL latch; 2-3/8 inch is an ordering option and you pick the backset on the order. The two are not interchangeable after the fact, because the faceplate differs: 2-3/4 inch uses a 1-1/8 x 2-1/4 inch face, 2-3/8 inch uses a 1 x 2-1/4 inch square corner face. Match the backset to the existing bore on a replacement job.
3) What door prep do I need to bore for a Delaney E Series cylindrical leverset?
Standard cylindrical prep: 2-1/8 inch cross bore through the face, 1 inch edge bore for the latch. Latch face mortise is 1-1/8 x 2-1/4 inches on the 2-3/4 inch backset latch, 1 x 2-1/4 inches on the 2-3/8 inch. That is the same 2-1/8 inch bore most bored locksets use, so a door already prepped for a cylindrical lock usually takes it with no new holes.
4) Will the Delaney E Series passage lever latch into my existing strike?
The bolt has a 1/2 inch stainless steel throw and the lock ships with a 4-7/8 inch ANSI strike (9109), which is the tall lip strike a metal frame is normally prepped for. If your frame carries a 4-7/8 inch ANSI cutout, the supplied strike drops in. On a wood jamb with a small square-corner strike, you will be cutting the jamb for the ANSI strike or reusing the existing one at the same 1/2 inch throw.
5) Is a passage lever the right choice, or do I need a privacy or keyed lever?
Passage means no lock at all: both levers are always free, always retract the latch. It is the right function for hallways, closets, and pantry or utility doors. If you need someone to lock the door from the inside (bathroom, bedroom), you need a privacy function instead, and if you need key control on a door you need an entry or classroom function. Passage also pairs with a separate deadbolt when you want a back door that latches on the lever and locks on the bolt.
6) Is the Delaney E Series MD lever rated for commercial traffic, and what grade is it?
Grade 2, tested to BHMA/ANSI A156.2 Series 4000 at 400,000 cycles, and it meets Federal Standard FF-H-106C. It is catalogued as commercial hardware. That cycle count suits offices, multi-family corridors, and school or institutional back-of-house openings; for a main entrance or heavy public traffic a Grade 1 cylindrical lever is the step up.
7) I need a bathroom lever that shows occupied instead of a passage lever. What else is there?
Passage will not do that job, since both levers stay free. For an occupancy indication, the Cal-Royal INDLEV-20 is a privacy indicator leverset with a red/green occupancy indicator, available in 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inch backset, adjustable for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. Note the thickness ceiling: on a door thicker than 1-3/4 inches the Delaney E Series goes to 2 inches and the Cal-Royal does not.
8) Is the Cal-Royal INDLEV-20 a substitute for the Delaney E Series MD passage leverset?
No - they do different jobs on the door. The Delaney E Series MD lever is a passage function lockset, so both levers stay free at all times and there is no locking mechanism. The Cal-Royal INDLEV-20 is a privacy function lever with a red/green occupancy indicator, which means it locks from the inside and shows whether the room is occupied. If the door is a hallway, closet, or any opening that should never latch shut against someone, the passage lever is the correct function; the INDLEV-20 would add a lock the opening is not supposed to have.
9) What lever should I use on a restroom or exam room door instead of a passage lever?
Use a privacy function lever such as the Cal-Royal INDLEV-20, which adds a red/green occupancy indicator so staff and visitors can see at a glance whether the room is in use. The Delaney E Series MD lever is a passage function and cannot be locked, so it suits hallways and closets rather than a room someone occupies alone. Both are lever-handled cylindrical locksets prepped for 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch backsets, so the door bore does not change if you swap between them.
10) Can I use this Delaney passage lever on a labeled fire door?
The latch used on the E Series MD lever meets a 3-hour fire rating, and the 2-3/4 inch backset latch is the UL standard latch. That covers the latch itself. Passage function keeps the latch always retractable from both sides, which is what a corridor or stair-side fire door normally needs when the door only has to latch, not lock.
11) Which latch part number comes with the Delaney E Series passage lever if I need a spare?
Passage and privacy functions in the E Series use the E9073T latch at 2-3/4 inch backset, or the E9063T at 2-3/8 inch. Those are not the same as the entrance latches, which are E9070T and E9060T. Order the latch that matches the backset your door is bored for.
12) Will the levers on this Delaney passage set break if someone yanks or hangs on them?
The E Series MD lever runs a clutch, described as panic proof push/turn, so force on the lever in the wrong direction spins free instead of loading the spindle. It also uses an independent torsion spring to keep the lever from drooping over time, plus an anti-friction latch retractor. On a school or multi-family corridor where levers get abused, that clutch is the feature that keeps them from being replaced every year.
13) Does this Delaney lever take a key, and why does it ask me for a keyway?
Passage function has no cylinder and no key, so the lever itself never locks. Keyway and keying choices (SC4 6-pin, KW1 5-pin, or SC1 5-pin, keyed different or keyed alike) matter when you are ordering passage levers alongside keyed E Series functions for the same building and want the keyed openings to run one key system. For the passage opening on its own, they change nothing about how the door works.
14) Will a Delaney E Series MD lever fit a thicker door than a Cal-Royal INDLEV-20?
The Delaney E Series MD lever mounts on doors from 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch using its adjustable mounting plate. The Cal-Royal INDLEV-20 adjusts from 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. On a 2 inch door - a heavier commercial slab or a door that has picked up thickness from cladding - the Delaney covers the range and the INDLEV-20 stops short of it.
15) I need an ANSI Grade 2 lever for a commercial opening - does the Cal-Royal INDLEV-20 meet that?
The Cal-Royal INDLEV-20 is described as standard duty commercial grade. The Delaney E Series MD lever is a Grade 2 commercial lockset that meets and exceeds BHMA/ANSI A156.2 Series 4000, Grade 2 at 400,000 cycles and meets the FF-H-106C federal standard. If the specification on the drawing calls out A156.2 Grade 2 by name, the Delaney is the one carrying that citation.
16) Can I standardize a whole floor on one lever style and still get privacy on a few doors?
Yes, and it is a common way to lay out a floor. Run the Delaney E Series MD passage lever on the corridor, closet, and utility doors where no lock is wanted, and use a privacy lever such as the Cal-Royal INDLEV-20 on the few rooms that need to lock from inside, where its red/green indicator also tells someone in the hall whether the room is occupied. Both are lever-operated cylindrical locksets available in 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch backsets, so the door prep and the lever motion stay consistent across the floor.
17) What finishes does the Delaney E Series MD lever come in for matching other doors in a building?
Two finishes: US26D dull chrome and US19 black. US26D is the usual satin chrome/brushed nickel-look match for commercial openings already running satin chrome exit devices and closers; US19 is flat black for a darker package. If your standard is satin chrome across the fleet, US26D is the one that blends.
18) Are the mounting screws on the Delaney E Series lever visible on the face of the door?
No. Mounting screws are concealed on the E Series MD trim, and the through bolts are removable. Concealed screws are what a property manager wants on a corridor lever, and removable through bolts mean the rose can come off for service without pulling the whole lock.
