Delaney Hardware 312422 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I have to order the Delaney Orlyn knobset for a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset?
Neither. The Orlyn ships with a 6-way adjustable latch that sets to either 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, so one part covers both of the usual bored-lock backsets. For a property manager buying across a building with mixed preps, that means a single item number rather than two.
2) Will the Orlyn privacy knob latch into the strike plate that is already in my jamb?
The bolt throws 1/2 inch and the supplied strike is a 1-3/4 x 2-1/4 inch full lip round corner (9103). If your existing strike is a round corner full lip of that size, the existing jamb mortise works; a square corner or T-strike prep will need the jamb reworked or the included strike swapped in. The latch face is 1 x 2-1/4 inch round corner, so a square corner latch prep in the door edge will show a gap.
3) Is a privacy knob the right function for my door, or do I need passage or entry?
Privacy is for bedrooms and bathrooms: it locks from the inside only, with no key. If the door just needs to latch and never lock (hall, closet, laundry), buy a passage set instead, like the Dexter C2000 Grade 2 passage ball knob. If it is an exterior or office door that needs a key from outside, go to a keyed entry, such as the Dexter C2000 Grade 2 entry/office knob. Ordering privacy for a door that needs keying is the most common mistake here.
4) My door is 2 inches thick. Will the Delaney Orlyn work?
No. The Orlyn tops out at 1-3/4 inches. For a 2 inch door you need a set rated that deep, such as the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob at 1-3/8 to 2 inches. On the passage and entry side, the Corbin Russwin CK4310 and the Deltana 6171 Round Knob entry also reach 2 inches.
5) What should I use instead of the Delaney Orlyn privacy knob on a hall or closet door that does not need to lock?
Use a passage knob rather than a privacy one. In the same Grade 2 class, the Dexter C2000 Series passage ball knob is Grade 2 passage/hall/closet, non-keyed, fitting 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin CK4410 is a Grade 2 passage/closet cylindrical lock with a Global knob over the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch range. The Delaney Orlyn is privacy function, so it carries the interior locking mechanism and privacy pin those doors do not need.
6) Can a dummy knob be used in place of the Delaney Orlyn privacy knobset?
No. Dummy trim such as the Schlage A170 single dummy, the BEST 6K Series single dummy trim, or the Bravura Biloxi dummy knobset is a fixed pull with no latch and no locking mechanism. The Delaney Orlyn is a privacy knobset with a 6-way adjustable latch, a 1/2 inch throw bolt, a privacy spindle and privacy pin, and a full-lip strike. A dummy mounts on the surface of an inactive leaf and will not latch or secure a bathroom or bedroom door.
7) What do I use instead of the Delaney Orlyn if the door needs a key from the outside?
A privacy knob has no cylinder, so move to a keyed function. The Dexter C2000 Series entry/office ball knob is Grade 2 keyed for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Callan Edgewood is a Grade 2 entrance knobset. If the outside knob must stay locked at all times, the Sargent 6G04 is a Grade 2 storeroom/closet knob lock with a single cylinder. The Delaney Orlyn unlocks only from the interior button, with a small pin hole outside for emergency release.
8) What comes in the box with the Delaney Orlyn privacy knobset, and do I need anything else?
Everything for one opening: knobs and plates for both faces, the latch, the privacy spindle, the privacy pin, the full lip strike and mounting screws. The screws are combination type that work in wood or metal doors, so you are not buying separate fasteners for a hollow metal frame job. No cylinder or key is involved, since privacy locks are non-keyed.
9) How do you unlock an Orlyn privacy knob from the outside if someone locks themselves in the bathroom?
There is a small pin hole in the outside knob. Push the supplied privacy pin straight into it and the interior lock releases. That is the whole emergency egress path on this type, which is why privacy knobs belong on bedrooms and baths and not on any door you need to key.
10) Is the Delaney Orlyn knobset strong enough for an apartment or rental turn?
It is a Grade 2 knobset built for residential use, with concealed screws, a panic proof mechanism and a full protection collar. Grade 2 is the middle ANSI/BHMA tier, above the Grade 3 sets typically sold for light residential duty and below Grade 1 institutional hardware. For multi-family bed and bath doors that is the usual spec; for a high-traffic commercial corridor, step up to Grade 1 hardware.
11) What is a comparable Grade 2 privacy knob if the Delaney Orlyn is not the look I want?
The closest straight equivalent is the Dexter C2000 Series Grade 2 privacy cylindrical ball knob, which carries the same Grade 2 rating and the same 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range. If you want a lighter-duty option, the Cal-Royal BER20 and the Pamex FTF Baron are Grade 3 privacy knobs fitting the same door thickness. For a decorative brass knob on a thicker door, the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob covers 1-3/8 to 2 inches.
12) Does the Delaney Orlyn knobset need to be handed when I order it?
No handing to specify. It is a cylindrical bored lockset with a knob on each face and an adjustable latch, so it works on a left or right hand door either swing. The only thing to set on install is the backset, which the latch adjusts to 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches.
13) What is a decorative alternative to the Delaney Orlyn privacy knob for a wider door?
The Deltana 6112 St. Thomas knob is a privacy/bed/bath knob that fits doors from 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob with R027 rose and the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore privacy knob with 5148 rose, 2-3/8 inch backset and full lip strike, are also privacy function. The Delaney Orlyn covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors with a 6-way adjustable latch that fits both 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch backsets.
14) Is there a lighter-duty privacy knob than the Delaney Orlyn for low-traffic interior doors?
Yes. The Cal-Royal BER20 is a Grade 3 privacy knob lock with brass trim, and the Pamex FTF Baron is a Grade 3 privacy knob lockset. Both are privacy/bed/bath function and both fit 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same range the Delaney Orlyn covers, so the door prep does not change. The Orlyn is Grade 2, a step up in the ANSI/BHMA cycle and strength testing from either.
15) The Delaney Orlyn privacy knobset is residential rated. What is the commercial equivalent for a heavier opening?
Step up to a Grade 1 cylindrical knob. The Falcon X101 is a heavy duty Grade 1 cylindrical passage knobset, fire rated, covering 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Schlage D10S is a heavy duty Grade 1 passage latch with an Orbit knob. The Corbin Russwin CK4310 is a Grade 1 passage/closet cylindrical lock for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. All three are passage function rather than privacy, so on a restroom or bedroom door that has to lock, the Delaney Orlyn Grade 2 privacy remains the function match.
16) I am standardizing bedroom and bath doors across a property. What matches the Delaney Orlyn privacy knob in satin nickel?
The Delaney Orlyn privacy knobset comes in US15 Satin Nickel and US12P Tuscany Bronze. If you need to fill out a satin nickel program with a second source, the Dexter C2000 Series privacy ball knob is the same Grade 2 privacy/bed/bath function over the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door range, and the Cal-Royal BER20 privacy knob covers that door range at Grade 3. Matching passage doors in the same program can run the Dexter C2000 passage ball knob, which shares that door thickness range.
17) What finishes does the Delaney Orlyn privacy knobset come in?
Two: US15 Satin Nickel and US12P Tuscany Bronze. If you are matching existing hardware down a hallway, US15 is the standard brushed nickel most builder-grade interiors use, and the Tuscany Bronze is the dark option. There is no polished brass or black in the Orlyn privacy set.
18) How far does the Orlyn knob stick out from the door face?
Projection is 2-3/8 inches, with the knob rose measuring 2.5625 inches. That matters where a door swings back against a wall stop or a cabinet, or in a tight bath where the knob would foul a vanity or a towel bar behind the door.
19) Can I match the Orlyn privacy knob with passage knobs on the closet doors in the same house?
The Orlyn privacy set is a single-function item, so the passage doors need a separate passage knobset. Matching the door prep is straightforward since the Orlyn uses the standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore and 1 inch edge bore that passage sets share. To keep the styling consistent, look at a matched-series passage knob rather than mixing brands; for a Grade 2 passage in the same tier, the Corbin Russwin CK4410 or the Dexter C2000 passage knob both cover 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.
