Delaney Hardware 325522 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Delaney RH Series MD dummy lever have a latch or working mechanism?
No. The RH Series MD dummy lever is a fixed trim only, no latch and no turning mechanism. Delaney's dummy function is a counterpart to functioning door hardware, or used where a latch is not needed. It mounts to the door face and gives you something to pull on. If you need the door to latch shut, you want a passage, privacy, or entry function instead.
2) Where would I actually use a dummy lever like the Delaney RH Series MD?
Typical uses are the inactive leaf of a pair of doors, closet and pantry doors that hold shut with a ball catch or magnetic catch, and French doors where one side needs matching trim but no latch. Property managers also use them to match the look of a working lever on a door that does not need to lock. The RH Series MD is a tubular-style lever so it sits on the door like its latching siblings.
3) Is a Grade 2 dummy lever strong enough for a commercial building?
The RH Series MD lever meets BHMA/ANSI A156.2 Series 4000, Grade 2 at 400,000 cycles, and Delaney classes it as commercial hardware. Grade 2 is the standard specification tier for light commercial and multi-family openings, which covers most office interiors, apartment closets, and hospitality doors. For high-abuse public entries most specs call for Grade 1 instead.
4) If I buy this Delaney dummy for a closet door, what else do I need to order?
A catch. Because the dummy has no latch, nothing holds the door closed on its own, so plan on a ball catch, roller catch, or magnetic catch plus a strike. On a pair of doors where this goes on the inactive leaf, you will also need flush bolts or surface bolts to hold that leaf. The lever ships as trim only.
5) Will the Delaney dummy lever match the satin chrome levers already on my other doors?
It is finished US26D Dull Chrome, the satin chrome finish most commercial interiors are standardized on. If the existing levers on your openings are marked US26D or 626, the appearance will match. US26D is a different look from US26 bright chrome, which is polished.
6) Does a dummy lever need handing, and can I mount it on either side of the door?
Handing matters for appearance on a lever. The RH Series MD dummy is a single lever trim, so orient it so the lever handle points toward the latch edge of the door. Because there is no latch or spindle running through, you are not committed to a bore pattern for a working lockset, only to the mounting prep the lever itself requires.
7) What model number should I order for the Delaney MD dummy lever in dull chrome?
The dull chrome MD style dummy in the RH Series is Delaney model 325522. That number covers the US26D finish in the dummy function; other functions and finishes in the RH Series carry their own numbers.
