Delaney Hardware D50521 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Delaney RD privacy lever fit a 1-3/8 inch interior door?
Yes. The RD Lever privacy set installs on doors from 1-3/8 inches through 1-3/4 inches thick, so it covers both the lighter interior doors common in older homes and standard 1-3/4 inch doors. Nothing extra is needed to span the range.
2) Does the Delaney RD lever work with a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset?
Both. The latch on the RD privacy leverset is adjustable between 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inches, which are the two backsets you will find in residential door prep, so you do not have to measure before you order.
3) Can I put the Delaney RD privacy lever into an existing knob bore?
If the door is bored to the standard residential pattern, yes. The RD lever uses a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and a 1 inch edge bore, which is the same prep a standard cylindrical knob or lever uses. Swapping a knob for this lever on an already-bored door does not require new boring, though the trim is 2-9/16 inches square so it will not hide a larger rosette footprint left behind by the old set.
4) Is the Delaney RD lever handed, or does one part number cover left and right doors?
One part covers both. The RD lever is reversible in the field for a left or right hand door, so a property manager buying for a building of mixed swings orders a single item rather than tracking handing door by door.
5) How does a privacy lever lock, and can I get into the bathroom if someone is locked in?
Privacy function means the lock is operated from the inside only, by a button or turn on the interior lever. There is no key. The outside trim has a small pin hole, and a straight emergency tool through that hole releases the lock from the corridor side. That is the function you want on bedroom and bathroom doors, not an entry or keyed lock.
6) Is a Grade 3 lever like the Delaney RD good enough for an apartment building?
For unit interiors, yes. The RD lever is Grade 3 and rated residential, which is the right level for bedroom and bath doors inside a dwelling. For a bathroom off a lobby, a school corridor, or anything taking public traffic, step up to a commercial-duty privacy lever. The Cal-Royal INDLEV-20 is a commercial standard duty privacy lever that covers the same 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door range.
7) What is the difference between the Delaney RD privacy lever and the Cal-Royal INDLEV-20?
Both are privacy-function cylindrical levers that fit doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, so either will go into the same bed or bath opening. The difference is the outside indication: the Delaney RD lever is a straight privacy function with a small pin hole on the exterior for emergency release, while the Cal-Royal INDLEV-20 is a privacy indicator lever carrying a red/green occupancy indicator on the outside and a 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch backset. The Delaney RD lever is a Grade 3 residential lever; Cal-Royal rates the INDLEV-20 as standard duty commercial. For a bedroom or apartment bathroom where the door only needs to lock, the Delaney RD lever covers it. Where staff or the public need to see at a glance whether a single-occupancy restroom is in use, the indicator lever is the one that answers that.
8) How far does the Delaney RD lever stick out from the door, and will it clear trim or a wall return?
The RD lever projects 2-5/16 inches off the face of the door and the handle itself is 4-3/16 inches long. Worth checking against a narrow reveal, a door that swings against a wall, or a lever on the pull side of a tight closet, since that projection is what makes contact.
9) Does the Delaney RD lever come with a latch and screws, or do I order those separately?
Everything for the install ships with it: the latch with a round corner faceplate, plus all mounting hardware. If your existing door is prepped for a square corner or drive-in latch face, the round corner plate will not drop into that mortise without recutting.
10) I need to see at a glance whether a bathroom is occupied. Does the Delaney RD lever show that?
No. The RD privacy lever has a plain outside trim with an emergency release hole and no occupancy window. If you need a visual vacant/occupied cue, the Cal-Royal INDLEV-20 is a privacy lever with a red/green indicator and the same adjustable 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inch backset.
11) What finishes does the Delaney RD privacy lever come in for matching the rest of the doors?
Three: US15 satin nickel, US26 polished chrome, and US19 black. Those are the standard finish codes, so matching hinges and stops from another brand carrying the same US number will read consistently across the openings.
