Delaney Hardware 324522 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What door prep do I need to bore for a Delaney RH Series tubular leverset?
Standard cylindrical prep: a 2-1/8 inch cross bore through the face, a 1 inch edge bore, and a latch face mortise of 1 inch by 2-1/4 inches. The latch faceplate is 1 x 2-1/4 inches with round corners, and the strike is a 1-1/8 x 2-3/4 inch T-strike (9101). If your door already carries a 2-1/8 inch bore from a previous cylindrical lock, no new boring is needed.
2) Can I use a passage leverset on a bathroom or bedroom door?
No. Passage function has no locking mechanism at all, both levers stay free at all times, so it is meant for hallways, closets, and pass-through doors. For a bathroom or bedroom you want a privacy function instead. If you also need an occupancy indicator, the Cal-Royal INDLEV-20 is a privacy indicator leverset with a red/green indicator and the same 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inch backset range, though its thickness range runs 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches.
3) Is this Delaney leverset rated for a fire door?
The latch bolt on the RH Series carries a 3-hour fire rating, with a 1/2 inch throw. The passage/privacy latch used in this function is the 9064 adjustable latch. For an opening where the lock also has to secure, note that passage function has no lock, so on a rated door you would typically pair it with a separate deadbolt.
4) Is this lever strong enough for a school or office corridor, or is it residential grade?
It is a commercial lockset. The RH Series MD lever meets BHMA/ANSI A156.2 Series 4000, Grade 2, tested to 400,000 cycles, which suits moderate to steady traffic like offices, corridors, and multi-family common areas. For very high abuse openings a Grade 1 cylindrical lock is the step up.
5) What lever should I use on a restroom or exam room door instead of the Delaney RH Series MD passage leverset?
The Delaney RH Series MD Style leverset is a passage function lock, so both levers stay free at all times and there is no way to secure the door from inside. For a restroom, exam room, or any opening that has to be occupied privately, use a privacy function lever instead - the Cal-Royal INDLEV-20 is a privacy leverset with a red/green occupancy indicator so waiting occupants can see at a glance whether the room is in use. It shares the 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch backset arrangement the Delaney uses, so the cross bore and edge bore prep is the same style of tubular prep.
6) Which lever works on a 2 inch thick door, the Delaney RH Series MD or the Cal-Royal INDLEV-20?
The Delaney RH Series MD Style passage leverset fits doors from 1-3/8 inch up to 2 inch thick. The Cal-Royal INDLEV-20 privacy indicator leverset adjusts from 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. For a 2 inch door, the Delaney covers the range; on standard 1-3/4 inch commercial doors either will fit.
7) Do I have to specify handing when I order this Delaney lever?
No. Handing is not required on the RH Series MD leverset, so the same part works on a left or right hand door. That makes it easy to stock one part number for a whole building instead of splitting orders by swing.
8) Will the dull chrome finish on this Delaney lever match the satin chrome hardware already on my doors?
The finish is US26D dull chrome, the standard satin chrome designation used across commercial door hardware, so it matches other US26D levers, closers, and hinges in a building. If your existing hardware is US32D (satin stainless), it will read close but is a different finish code.
9) Will the existing strike in my frame work with this Delaney latch, or do I need to change it?
The RH Series ships with a 1-1/8 x 2-3/4 inch T-strike (part 9101) and the latch throws 1/2 inch. If your frame already has a standard 1-1/8 x 2-3/4 inch strike cutout from a previous cylindrical lock, the new strike drops straight in. A deeper ANSI 4-7/8 inch strike prep would leave a gap and need a filler or a longer strike plate.
10) Is the Cal-Royal INDLEV-20 a direct substitute for the Delaney RH Series MD passage lever?
No - they are different functions. The Delaney RH Series MD Style is a Grade 2 passage leverset with no locking mechanism, intended for hallways, closets, and doors that never need to be secured. The Cal-Royal INDLEV-20 is a privacy indicator leverset, which locks from the inside and shows a red or green occupancy status. If the opening is a corridor or closet door, swapping in the indicator lever adds a lock the space does not need; if the opening is a restroom, the passage lever leaves it unsecured.
11) I need a documented ANSI grade for a spec job - how does the Delaney RH Series MD compare to the Cal-Royal INDLEV-20?
The Delaney RH Series MD Style passage leverset is stated as Grade 2, meeting BHMA/ANSI A156.2 Series 4000 at 400,000 cycles, which is the number to put on a submittal that calls for a Grade 2 cylindrical lock. The Cal-Royal INDLEV-20 is described as standard duty commercial grade. If the drawing calls out an ANSI grade explicitly, the Delaney carries the A156.2 citation.
12) What holds this lever together on the door, and are the screws visible from the hallway?
Mounting screws are concealed, so no fasteners show on the rose. The chassis uses interlocking screw posts and includes a protective sleeve, and the lever is panic proof, meaning turning the lever always retracts the latch for egress.
