Delaney Hardware 410000 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Delaney temporary door latch fit a standard 2-1/8 inch bore?
Yes. The Delaney 410000 temporary door latch drops into a 2-1/8 inch bore, which is the standard cross-bore prepped for residential and light commercial cylindrical locksets. If the door is already bored for a knob or lever, it goes straight in with no additional prep.
2) Does the temporary door latch work with both 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inch backsets?
It adjusts to either. The 410000 latch covers both 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inch backsets, the two backsets used on virtually every bored door, so you don't have to measure the door before you grab one off the truck. One part covers the whole job site.
3) What do you use to keep a door shut during construction before the real hardware goes on?
A temporary latch like the Delaney 410000 is what goes in during the build. It sits in the empty 2-1/8 inch bore and holds the door closed so it can be opened and closed with one finger, instead of nails, shims or shingles wedged in the jamb. That's the difference between it and a permanent lockset: it does not key, does not lock, and comes back out when the finish hardware is installed.
4) Can I use the Delaney temporary latch on a door that hasn't been bored yet?
No. The latch needs an existing 2-1/8 inch cross-bore to sit in, and it adjusts only to a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset. On a blank slab with no prep, or a door bored to a non-standard size, it has nothing to hold onto. Bore the door for the permanent lockset first, then the temporary latch fits the same hole.
5) Will a temporary latch stop wind from slamming and damaging new doors on site?
That's the point of it. The Delaney temporary latch keeps the door captive in the frame so wind-blown doors stop denting and dinging the slab and the jamb, which is the common damage claim on a job where the openings are hung long before the finish hardware arrives. Painters can also work the door without leaving paint rings from hardware that shouldn't be on the door yet.
6) Is the Delaney 410000 temporary latch metal or plastic?
Plastic. The substrate is plastic throughout, which is what keeps it light enough to install in seconds by hand and cheap enough to treat as a consumable across a run of openings. It is not a security device and should not be relied on to secure an opening.
7) Do I need tools or screws to install a temporary door latch?
No fasteners and no tools. The Delaney 410000 installs in seconds into the existing 2-1/8 inch bore, and it comes back out the same way, so there are no screw holes left behind and nothing to patch before the permanent lockset goes on.
8) How many temporary latches should I order for a multi-family or tract job?
One per opening that's hung and waiting on finish hardware. The Delaney 410000 is sold as a single model, plastic, and it's reusable, so crews typically carry a set that moves building to building as the permanent locksets get installed. Since it covers both common backsets and the standard 2-1/8 inch bore, one part number covers every bored door on the job.
