Delaney Hardware 353551 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is a dummy lever and does the Delaney Vida square lever actually latch the door?
No latch, no lock, no spindle through the door. The Vida square trim dummy lever is a surface mounted pull only, so it turns nothing and holds nothing shut. Typical use is the inactive leaf of a double door, or a closet or pantry door held by a ball catch or roller catch, where you want the handle to match the working levers elsewhere. If you need the door to stay closed, you need a passage, privacy, or keyed lever instead.
2) Do I have to order a left hand or right hand Delaney Vida dummy lever?
No handing to specify. The Vida square dummy lever is reversible left or right, so one part covers either side of the opening. On a pair of doors that means you can buy two of the same and have them mirror correctly.
3) Do I need to drill a 2-1/8 inch bore for the Delaney Vida dummy lever?
Not for the standard cross bore. The Vida dummy trim mounts to the face of the door and ships with all the mounting hardware needed, so installation is fastening the rose to the door rather than boring a lockset prep. If the door already has a 2-1/8 inch bore from a lever you removed, the 2-9/16 inch square rose will cover it.
4) Is the Delaney Vida dummy lever rated for a commercial building or apartment corridor doors?
It is a Grade 3 residential lever. Delaney lists the Vida square trim as residential duty, which suits single family, condo interiors, and light multi-family unit doors. For corridor, stairwell, or any opening carrying commercial traffic, step up to a Grade 2 or Grade 1 cylindrical lever instead. Note also that a dummy has no latch at all, so it can never serve an opening that needs to stay closed or fire rated.
5) Can I use a dummy lever on a door that needs to stay shut, or should I buy a passage lever?
Buy the passage lever. A dummy has no latchbolt, so nothing keeps the door in the frame, and the Vida square dummy is meant as a pull for the inactive leaf of a double door or a matching handle where no mechanism is needed. A passage lever latches without locking and is the right choice for a hall, bedroom, or any door that must hold closed. Use the dummy only where a catch does the holding or the door is decorative.
6) How far does the Delaney Vida square lever stick out from the door face?
1-7/8 inches of projection, with a 3-7/8 inch handle length and a 2-9/16 by 2-9/16 inch square rose. That projection is what to check against a door that swings back against a wall, a cabinet, or an adjacent door leaf in a tight vestibule, and it is the number to match if you are putting dummy trim on the inactive leaf beside a working lever.
7) What finishes does the Delaney Vida square dummy lever come in, and will it match my other Vida levers?
Four finishes: US15 satin nickel, US26 polished chrome, US12P Tuscany bronze, and US19 black. Those are standard finish codes, so ordering the same code across your passage, privacy, and dummy levers in the Vida square line gives you one look through the house or unit. Property managers standardizing a building should pick the code, not the finish name, when they reorder.
8) Is the Delaney Vida square dummy lever single dummy or a pair, and how many do I need for a double door?
Single dummy, meaning one lever with one rose for one face of the door. A double door where you want a handle on both sides of the inactive leaf takes two. A closet or pantry door pulled from one side only takes one. Weight is 2.5 lb per unit.
