Delaney Lashbrook - Grade 2 Entrance Leverset

The inside turnbutton locks the outside lever. Turn the inside lever or use the outside key and the button releases automatically, so nobody gets locked out by habit. Closing the door does not release it. If you want it to stay locked, turn the button to the horizontal position and it stays fixed there until you release it deliberately. That behavior is what separates an entrance function from a passage or privacy set.

Delaney lists the Lashbrook as a Residential product at ANSI Grade 2. Grade 2 is the middle tier, above residential Grade 3 and below Grade 1, so it holds up on apartment unit entries, single-family front doors and light multi-family use. For a school corridor, a hospital wing or any high-traffic institutional opening, spec a Grade 1 cylindrical lever instead.

Two keyways, both 5-pin: SC1 (the Schlage-style keyway) and KW1 (the Kwikset-style keyway). Pick the one that matches the keys already in circulation on the property and the new lever runs on the same key blank. Keying is a required choice at order: keyed different, keyed alike, or a key charge option if you need something specific. Keyed alike is the one property managers usually want when they are doing several openings and want one key to turn all of them.

No - the two lock functions are different. The Delaney Lashbrook DLY-500TT-LB-G2 is a keyed entrance leverset: the inside turnbutton locks the outside lever, and turning the inside lever or using the outside key releases the button automatically. The Cal-Royal INDLEV-20 is a privacy indicator leverset with a red/green occupancy indicator, so it has no key cylinder and is not intended to secure an entry door. Swapping one for the other changes whether the opening can be keyed at all.

For an opening that needs to be occupied and unoccupied rather than locked and unlocked, the Cal-Royal INDLEV-20 privacy indicator leverset is the one to specify - it carries a red/green occupancy indicator so the door reads occupied from the corridor, and it comes in 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch backsets. Keep the Delaney Lashbrook DLY-500TT-LB-G2 entrance leverset for doors that need a keyed outside lever and a keyway selection.

Projection is 2-3/8 inches, with a 2.5625 inch length on the rose. That matters where the door swings into a return wall or up against a storm door, and it is the number to check if you are putting levers on both sides of a tight corner. The lever itself needs that clearance to be gripped and turned.

Both. The Lashbrook ships with combination screws that suit wood or metal door mounting, so you do not have to order separate fasteners depending on what is in the frame. That is useful on a mixed property where the unit doors are wood and the utility or stair doors are hollow metal.

Different functions and different duty levels. The Lashbrook is a Grade 2 keyed entrance lever listed by Delaney as Residential. The Cal-Royal INDLEV-20 is a privacy indicator lever, standard duty commercial grade, with a 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch backset and an adjustable 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range. One secures the door with a key, the other just holds a room closed and tells you it is occupied. They are not substitutes for each other.

Cylindrical, a bored lockset. It goes into a round cross bore through the door face with an edge bore for the latch, which is the prep on nearly every residential and light commercial door built in the last several decades. A mortise lock needs a deep rectangular pocket routed into the door edge, so if the door in front of you has that pocket, this lever is not a drop-in for it.

Depends on the opening. The Lashbrook locks with the inside turnbutton and unlocks with the outside key, which handles day-to-day entry control on its own. On an exterior unit entry most codes and most insurers want a deadbolt above the lever as well, and that is a separate order. Get it in the same keyway (SC1 or KW1) and keyed alike with the lever so one key runs both.

The Delaney Lashbrook DLY-500TT-LB-G2 is a Grade 2 residential cylindrical entrance leverset, which is the right fit for apartment, unit and house entry doors. The Cal-Royal INDLEV-20 is rated Standard Duty commercial grade, so it is the one to reach for when the specification calls for a commercial-duty lever on the opening.

The Cal-Royal INDLEV-20 is adjustable for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, which covers most standard interior and unit doors without ordering thickness-specific parts. The Delaney Lashbrook DLY-500TT-LB-G2 ships with combination screws that suit both wood and metal door mounting, so a mixed-substrate building can be standardized on one entrance lever.

Three: US15 Satin Nickel, US12P Tuscany Bronze, and US19 Black. If you are matching existing hardware across a building, US15 is the standard satin nickel that pairs with most brushed trim, US19 is a flat black, and US12P is a darker antiqued bronze. Order the whole opening in one finish, hinges and deadbolt included, or the mismatch shows.
