Delaney Hardware 682500S – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Delaney Tulum privacy knobset fit a 1-3/8 inch interior door, or does it need a 1-3/4 inch door?
Both work. The Tulum Sandcast privacy knobset covers 1-3/8 inch through 1-3/4 inch doors, which spans older residential interior doors and standard modern ones. The backset adjusts between 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inches, so it drops into either of the two bores a residential door is normally prepped for. Bore sizes needed are a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and a 1 inch edge bore.
2) Can the Delaney Tulum knobset go on a door that already has a knob, without redrilling?
If the existing knob is a standard bored lockset, yes. The Tulum takes the same 2-1/8 inch cross bore and 1 inch edge bore that residential cylindrical knobs use, and the adjustable backset handles a hole drilled at either 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inches from the door edge. The latch faceplate is round corner, so it matches a round corner mortise in the door edge; if the old latch had a square corner faceplate, that pocket needs chiseling to suit. Mounting hardware is in the box.
3) Do I need to order a left hand or right hand Delaney Tulum knobset?
Neither. The Tulum knobset is reversible left or right, so one part covers both swings. Order by finish only, and set the hand during install.
4) Is the Tulum a keyed lock, or does it just lock from inside the bedroom?
It locks from inside only. The Tulum is a privacy function set for bedroom and bathroom doors: a thumbturn or push button on the room side, and a small pin hole on the outside so the door can be released in an emergency. There is no key and no cylinder. If you need a key on the outside for an exterior or office door, this is the wrong function.
5) Is the Delaney Tulum sandcast knob rated for a commercial building or apartment corridor doors?
It's a residential set. The Tulum carries BHMA Grade 3 certification, which is the residential tier, and Delaney lists it as residential hardware. For a commercial opening with real traffic, look at Grade 1 or Grade 2 cylindrical knobs instead: the Schlage D Series D10S is a Grade 1 heavy duty knob, and the Corbin Russwin CK4310 is Grade 1 as well. Both of those are passage function, so match the function you need.
6) My bathroom door is thicker than 1-3/4 inches - what privacy knob will fit?
The Delaney Tulum sandcast privacy knobset is built for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. For a thicker slab, the Deltana 6112 St. Thomas knob in privacy/bed and bath function covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. Measure the slab at the cross bore before ordering, since a knob sized to a thinner door will leave the spindle short.
7) What is the closest equivalent to the Delaney Tulum sandcast privacy knobset if I need the same bed and bath function from a different brand?
The Delaney Tulum sandcast knobset is a privacy/bed and bath cylindrical knob for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors with an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset. Two peers match that function and door range directly: the Dexter C2000 Series privacy cylindrical ball knob lock, a Grade 2 non-keyed privacy knob for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Pamex FTF Baron knob lockset in privacy function, Grade 3 for the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch range. Both drop into the same bedroom and bathroom openings the Tulum is meant for.
8) The door does not need to lock - what should I order instead of a privacy knobset?
Privacy function means an interior locking mechanism with an emergency pin hole outside, which is wasted on a hall, closet, or pantry door. For those openings, use a passage knob: the Pamex FTF Baron in passage function is Grade 3 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Dexter C2000 Series passage ball knob is Grade 2 non-keyed for the same door range, and the Arrow MK01 is a Grade 2 non-keyed passage cylindrical knob, also 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. All three latch the door without any locking hardware.
9) The Delaney Tulum privacy knob is not keyed - what do I use on an exterior or office door that needs a key?
The Tulum sandcast knobset is a privacy function knob, locked from the inside only, so it is not the part for a door that needs key control. Keyed knobs in the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door range include the Cal-Royal BER00 entrance/office Grade 3 knob lock with a Kwikset keyway, the Pamex FTF Baron in entrance/office function at Grade 3, the Dexter C2000 Series entry/office keyed ball knob at Grade 2, and the Kwikset 400P-CP Polo keyed entry knob at Grade 3 with a round corner adjustable latch and round corner strike.
10) Can I use a dummy knob in place of a privacy knobset on a closet or pantry door?
No. A dummy knob is surface-mounted trim with no latch at all, so it will not hold a door closed the way the Tulum privacy knob does with its adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset latch. Dummy options include the Cal-Royal BA40 dummy knob cylindrical lock for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Schlage A170 single dummy trim, a Grade 2 non-keyed knob for 1-3/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors, and the BEST 6K Series single dummy trim, Grade 2 medium duty. Use these only on inactive leaves or doors held closed by a catch, never where the door must latch or lock.
11) How far does the Tulum knob stick out from the door, and how much face does the rose cover?
Projection is 2-7/8 inches off the door face, so allow for that where a door swings back against a wall, a vanity, or an adjacent casing. The knob itself is 2-1/8 inches by 2-1/8 inches. The trim measures 4-1/4 by 2-11/16 inches, which is a taller rectangular-proportioned rose rather than a small round one, so it will cover a larger footprint of any old finish ring or wear mark on the door.
12) What finishes does the Delaney Tulum sandcast privacy knobset come in?
Two: ABR Aged Bronze and ABK Aged Black. Both are sandcast brass, so the surface carries the texture of the casting rather than a smooth machined face. If you are standardizing a house or a set of units, those are the two you can match across the Tulum privacy sets.
13) I need matching passage knobs for the hall and closet doors alongside the bedroom privacy knobs. Can I mix a different brand?
Mixing brands means the knob shape and rose won't match, which shows on adjacent doors. The Tulum is offered here as a privacy set in Aged Bronze and Aged Black. If a visual match across functions is what matters and you're open to another line, brands that carry a full function range include Pamex Baron FTF (privacy, passage, and entrance/office, all Grade 3), and the Dexter C2000 Series (privacy, passage, entry/office and classroom, all Grade 2 ball knob). Picking one of those lines gets you the same knob on every door in the run.
14) What else do I have to buy to install the Tulum privacy knobset?
Nothing for a standard door. The set ships with the mounting hardware needed to install it, including the latch, and the backset adjusts on the latch itself so there's no separate part to order for 2-3/8 versus 2-3/4. Handing is reversible, so there's no hand-specific component either. The only thing worth checking first is the strike already in your jamb, since the latch faceplate is round corner.
15) What's the difference between a privacy knob like the Tulum and a dummy knob?
A privacy knob turns, retracts a latch, and locks from the room side with an emergency release hole outside. A dummy knob does neither: it's a fixed pull, screwed to the door, used on inactive leaves of a double door or on a closet door held shut by a ball catch. If a dummy is what you actually need, the Emtek Cast Stainless Steel Round dummy pair and the Omnia 434/0 egg-shaped single dummy are both solid brass or cast dummy options. Don't buy a privacy set for a door with no bore in it.
16) Is there a lower cost privacy knob that fits the same door prep as the Delaney Tulum?
Yes, several plain-finish privacy knobs take the same 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door range. The Cal-Royal BER20 is a Grade 3 privacy knob with brass trim, the Pamex FTF Baron is a Grade 3 privacy knob, and the Dexter C2000 privacy ball knob is Grade 2. What you give up against the Tulum is the sandcast texture and the aged bronze or aged black finish; what you gain on the Dexter is a grade step up.
17) I need a Grade 3 privacy knob for apartment bedroom doors - how does the Delaney Tulum compare to the Cal-Royal BER20?
Both carry a BHMA Grade 3 rating and both fit doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. The Delaney Tulum is a sandcast brass privacy knobset in Aged Bronze or Aged Black with an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset and a round corner latch faceplate. The Cal-Royal BER20 is a privacy/bed and bath Grade 3 knob lock with brass trim. For a fleet of bedroom and bathroom doors, either one covers the function; the choice comes down to the cast trim look of the Tulum versus the BER20's trim style.
18) Is a Grade 3 residential privacy knob like the Delaney Tulum enough for a commercial corridor, or do I need a heavier lock?
The Tulum sandcast knobset is BHMA Grade 3 and specified for residential use, which suits bedroom and bathroom doors in homes and multi-family units. For commercial traffic, the comparable set steps up: the Schlage D10S passage latch is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical knob lock, the Falcon X101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty cylindrical passage knobset with an interchangeable core, fire rated, for 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Sargent 8XG04 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom/closet knob lock with a 2-3/4 inch backset. Those are keyed or passage functions rather than privacy, so match the function to the opening as well as the grade.
19) I want a cast solid brass privacy knob with a decorative rose rather than a plain residential knob - what else is there?
The Delaney Tulum sandcast knobset is high quality brass with a 4-1/4 inch by 2-11/16 inch trim plate, a 2-1/8 inch knob and 2-7/8 inch projection, in Aged Bronze or Aged Black. On the decorative side of the comparable set, the Baldwin Estate 5077 Bethpage privacy knob uses an R027 rose, and the Baldwin Estate 5000 Baltimore privacy knob comes preconfigured with a 5148 rose, 2-3/8 inch backset and a full lip strike. The Deltana 6112 St. Thomas privacy knob is another cast decorative option covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.
20) Does a classroom or storeroom function knob work on a bathroom door instead of a privacy knob?
No, those functions solve a different problem. The Dexter C2000 Series classroom knob is a Grade 2 keyed cylindrical ball knob for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, locked and unlocked by key from the outside, and the Sargent 6G04 is a Grade 2 storeroom/closet knob lock with a single cylinder that keeps the outside knob locked at all times. Neither gives an occupant a thumbturn inside or an emergency release outside. The Tulum privacy knob locks from the interior and unlocks through a small pin hole on the exterior, which is what a bedroom or bathroom door requires.
21) I am doing a whole-house or unit turn and need entry and privacy knobs to match - is there a combo option?
The Delaney Tulum sandcast knobset is sold as a privacy function only, so an entry door needs a separate part. The Schlage Residential F500 Plymouth with Georgian knob is a combo pack for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors that ships with adjustable backsets and dual strikes, which covers more than one opening from a single order. If you are staying with the Tulum look on bedroom and bathroom doors, it is offered in Aged Bronze and Aged Black.
