Delaney Hardware D50501 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Delaney RD keyed entry lever fit a 1-3/8 inch door as well as a standard 1-3/4 inch door?
Yes. The RD Lever entrance leverset installs on doors from 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick, so it covers both the thinner older interior doors and standard 1-3/4 inch exterior doors without extra parts.
2) Do I need to order a left hand or right hand version of the Delaney RD lever?
No handing to specify. The RD lever is reversible and installs on a left or right hand door, so one part covers either swing. That makes it simpler to stock for a property manager keeping spares on the shelf.
3) Can I get Delaney RD levers keyed alike so one key runs all the doors in a unit?
Yes. Keying is a required selection: keyed different or keyed alike. Choose keyed alike when a tenant or homeowner should carry one key for the front, side, and garage entry doors. Keyed different is what you want for separate units.
4) Will the Delaney RD lever work with my existing Kwikset or Schlage keys?
Keyway is a required choice between KW1 5-pin and SC1 5-pin, both standard residential keyways. Pick KW1 to match Kwikset-keyed doors and SC1 to match Schlage-keyed doors, and specify keyed alike if it has to run on the same key as the rest of the property. The stock cylinder is 5 pin KW1.
5) Is a Grade 3 leverset good enough for an apartment building corridor door?
The RD Lever is Grade 3 and classified residential. That suits apartment unit entry doors, houses, and side doors. For a high-traffic commercial corridor or an institutional opening you should be looking at a commercial grade cylindrical lock instead. If it's a light commercial opening, the Cal-Royal INDLEV-20 is a standard duty commercial grade lever we carry, though that one is a privacy function with an occupancy indicator rather than keyed entry.
6) I need a lever for a restroom or bedroom door, not a keyed entry. What should I use instead of the Delaney RD lever?
The Delaney RD lever is a keyed entrance function, locked and unlocked from the outside with a key and from the inside with the locking mechanism, so it is not the right choice for a restroom or bedroom door. For that opening, look at the Cal-Royal INDLEV-20, a privacy function leverset with a red/green occupancy indicator. Both adjust to 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch backsets and fit doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, so the door prep is the same either way.
7) How does the keyed entry function on this lever actually operate?
Single cylinder keyed entry: the outside is locked and unlocked with a key, and the inside is locked and unlocked with the thumbturn or button on the lever itself. There is no key needed from inside. Use it on front doors, side doors, and unit entries. If you want no key at all, that's a passage or privacy lever, not this one.
8) What finishes does the Delaney RD lever come in, and will it match other hardware on the door?
Three finishes: US15 satin nickel, US26 polished chrome, and US19 black. Those are the standard US finish codes, so US15 will sit alongside satin nickel hinges and deadbolts, US26 with polished chrome, and US19 with matte black trim.
9) How much clearance does the RD lever need next to a door frame or a pull-side wall?
The lever projects 2-5/16 inches off the face of the door and the handle is 4-3/16 inches long, on a 2-9/16 by 2-9/16 inch rose. That's worth checking on a door that opens tight against a return wall or where a storm door is mounted close.
10) Will a Cal-Royal INDLEV-20 drop into the same door prep as a Delaney RD entrance lever?
The bored prep matches on the key dimensions: the Delaney RD lever uses a 2-1/8 inch cross bore, 1 inch edge bore and an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset on doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, and the Cal-Royal INDLEV-20 also carries 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch backsets with an adjustable 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range. The functional difference decides it - the Delaney is keyed entry with a 5-pin KW1 or SC1 cylinder, while the INDLEV-20 is privacy with a red/green occupancy indicator and no key cylinder.
11) Do I need to buy screws or a strike separately for the Delaney RD leverset?
No. All the mounting hardware for installation comes in the box, along with a round corner latch faceplate. You only need to decide keyway and keying at order time.
