Delaney Hardware D22520P – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Delaney Milton privacy leverset fit a 1-3/8 inch interior door?
Yes. The Milton privacy lever covers 1-3/8 inch through 1-3/4 inch doors, so it works on older interior slabs and on standard 1-3/4 inch doors without any extra kit. The backset adjusts between 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inches, which are the two bores you will find on residential doors, and it takes a 2-1/8 inch cross bore with a 1 inch edge bore.
2) Can I drop the Delaney Milton lever into the existing holes from an old knob without redrilling?
If the door already has a standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore and a 1 inch edge bore, the Milton goes straight in. That is the standard bored-lock prep, so most knobs and levers made in the last several decades come out and this goes back in the same holes. Set the latch to whichever backset the door was drilled for, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches. The latch faceplate is round corner, so if the old latch had a square-corner faceplate you will see a mismatch in the door edge mortise.
3) Do I need to order a left hand or right hand version of the Milton privacy lever?
No handing to specify. The Milton lever is reversible left or right, so one part number covers either swing and you set it during install. Order by finish only.
4) How does a pushbutton privacy lever unlock if someone gets stuck in the bathroom?
The inside lever has a pushbutton that locks it; the outside has a small pin hole you poke with a straightened wire or emergency key to release it. It is a panic proof design, meaning turning the inside lever releases the button and lets the person out even if they forget it is locked. There is no key and no cylinder, which is what you want on a bedroom or bath door.
5) Is the Delaney Milton lever strong enough for an apartment building or is it residential only?
Residential duty. The Milton is BHMA Grade 3 certified, which is the residential tier of the ANSI/BHMA bored lock grades, and Delaney lists it as a residential product. That is fine for apartment interior bedroom and bath doors in a multi-family building. For a commercial corridor, a school, or anywhere the door cycles all day, step up to a commercial grade privacy lever such as the Cal-Royal INDLEV-20, which Cal-Royal rates as commercial standard duty.
6) What is a comparable privacy leverset to the Delaney Milton if I need to see at a glance whether the room is occupied?
The Cal-Royal INDLEV-20 is a privacy indicator leverset with a red/green occupancy indicator, so the status reads from the corridor side without touching the lever. The Delaney Milton is a pushbutton privacy leverset with an emergency pin hole on the exterior for unlocking. Both cover the same bed and bath privacy application; the INDLEV-20 adds the visual occupancy read, which is why it turns up on single-occupancy restrooms and changing rooms.
7) I am specifying privacy levers for a commercial building - is the Delaney Milton the right pick or should I look at the Cal-Royal INDLEV-20?
The Delaney Milton is a Grade 3 privacy leverset rated for residential use. The Cal-Royal INDLEV-20 is standard duty at a commercial grade. For a commercial opening with traffic beyond a dwelling unit interior, the INDLEV-20 is the one built to that duty rating; the Milton suits apartment and single-family bedroom and bathroom doors.
8) I need a privacy lever that shows vacant or occupied from outside. Does the Milton do that?
No, the Milton is a plain pushbutton privacy lever with only a pin hole on the outside. Nothing tells you from the hallway whether the room is in use. If you need a visible indicator, the Cal-Royal INDLEV-20 privacy indicator leverset has a red and green occupancy indicator and covers the same 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door range on 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inch backsets. That is the one for single-occupancy restrooms, changing rooms, and clinic exam rooms.
9) How far does the Milton lever stick out from the door, and will it clear a door swinging into a tight corner?
Projection is 2-5/16 inches off the face of the door, with a handle length of 3-11/16 inches. The rose trim is 2-9/16 inches square in footprint, 2-9/16 by 2-9/16. Those are the numbers to check against a wall return, an adjacent door in a hallway, or a vanity edge in a small bath. The whole lockset weighs 1.2 pounds.
10) What finishes does the Delaney Milton privacy lever come in, and can I match it to existing hardware?
Five finishes: US15 satin nickel, US26D satin chrome, US26 polished chrome, US12P Tuscany bronze, and US19 black. If you are matching a fleet of doors, the US codes are the standard finish designations, so a US26D lever here lines up with US26D hinges and stops from other lines. Satin nickel and satin chrome look similar in a photo but are not the same finish, so pull the US code off what is already hung rather than eyeballing it.
11) Do I have to buy the latch and strike separately with the Milton leverset?
Everything needed to hang it comes in the box: latch, strike, and the mounting hardware. The latch has a round corner faceplate and adjusts for 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, so you are not ordering a separate latch to match your door prep. Nothing else is required to complete a standard bored door.
12) Should I use a privacy lever or a keyed entry lever on a bedroom door?
Privacy is the right function for bedrooms and baths. It locks from inside with a pushbutton and releases from outside through a pin hole, so nobody gets locked out of a room and there is no key to manage across a building. A keyed entry function belongs on an exterior or a unit entry door where you need to control who gets in. Putting keyed hardware on a bedroom door means cutting keys for every room and creates a real problem when someone locks themselves in.
13) Will a Cal-Royal INDLEV-20 fit the same doors as a Delaney Milton privacy lever?
Both cover the same door range and backset options. The Delaney Milton has an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. The Cal-Royal INDLEV-20 is offered in 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch backset and is adjustable for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness. A door prepped for one takes the other without changing the bore or thickness.
14) Can I use a Delaney Milton where the drawing calls for an indicator privacy lever?
No. The Delaney Milton is a pushbutton privacy leverset - it locks from the inside and unlocks from the outside through a small pin hole, with no occupancy display. A spec calling for an indicator needs a lock like the Cal-Royal INDLEV-20, which carries a red/green occupancy indicator as its function. The two are not interchangeable on that line of the spec even though both are privacy locks.
15) I need privacy levers in a bronze or black finish - does the Cal-Royal INDLEV-20 cover that or should I stay with Delaney?
The Delaney Milton privacy leverset is stocked in US15 Satin Nickel, US26D Satin Chrome, US26 Polished Chrome, US12P Tuscany Bronze and US19 Black, so bronze and black are both covered in the Milton family. The Cal-Royal INDLEV-20 is the indicator-function alternative; go to it when the occupancy indicator drives the decision rather than the finish.
