Delaney Hardware 353521 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Delaney Vida square privacy leverset fit a 1-3/8 inch interior door?
Yes. The Vida Square privacy lever covers doors from 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, so it handles both older interior slabs and standard 1-3/4 inch doors without a different kit. The backset adjusts between 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inches, which are the two bore positions found in residential doors, so one part covers either prep.
2) Can the Delaney Vida privacy lever drop into an existing standard door prep, or do I need to re-bore?
It uses the standard bored prep: 2-1/8 inch cross bore and a 1 inch edge bore. If the door already has a knob or lever in it cut to those sizes, the Vida goes straight in with no new boring. The latch faceplate has round corners, so it drops into a round-corner mortise in the door edge; a square-corner mortise would need the edge cut squared off or a square-corner latch instead.
3) Do I have to order the Delaney Vida lever left hand or right hand?
No handing to specify. The Vida Square lever is reversible left or right, so one part number works on either swing and you set the lever direction at install. For a property manager buying a stack of them for a building, that means no sorting by door.
4) Is a privacy leverset the right function for a bedroom or bathroom door, or do I need a keyed lock?
Privacy is the right call for bed and bath. The Vida Square privacy lever locks from the inside only, with a small pin hole on the outside to release it in an emergency, so nobody gets locked in and no keys have to be cut or carried. If you need a key on the outside, this is the wrong function, and if the door is a closet or hall passage with no locking at all, you want a passage lever instead.
5) Is the Delaney Vida Grade 3 lever good enough for apartment turns and rental units?
It is BHMA Grade 3 certified and rated residential, which is the tier written for dwelling-unit interior doors. That covers bedroom and bathroom doors in apartments, single family rentals, and multi-family units. For a high traffic commercial opening, a school restroom or an office suite, Grade 3 residential is under-specified and you should be looking at a commercial-duty privacy lever.
6) I need a privacy lever that shows vacant or occupied. Does the Delaney Vida do that?
No. The Vida Square privacy lever locks from inside with an emergency pin hole outside, but there is no occupancy indicator on it. For a restroom where people need to see at a glance whether it is in use, look at the Cal-Royal INDLEV-20, a privacy indicator lever with a red/green occupancy window that also adjusts 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door thickness and comes in 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inch backset. The Cal-Royal is a commercial standard duty lever, so it is also the one to price if the opening is anything busier than a dwelling unit.
7) Can I use the Delaney Vida privacy lever on a commercial restroom door?
Not the right pick. The Vida Square is a Grade 3 residential privacy lever, built for bedroom and bathroom doors in dwellings. A public or commercial restroom sees far more cycles than that tier is written for. The Cal-Royal INDLEV-20 is the commercial-grade privacy lever to look at instead, and its occupancy indicator is usually wanted on that kind of opening anyway.
8) What privacy lever should I use on a restroom door where staff need to see whether the room is occupied?
Use the Cal-Royal INDLEV-20 privacy indicator leverset, which carries a red/green occupancy indicator and a Privacy with Indicator function. The Delaney Vida Square privacy leverset has the standard privacy arrangement instead: an interior locking mechanism with a small pin hole on the exterior for emergency unlocking, with no occupancy indicator. Both cover the same opening dimensionally - the Vida Square is adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, and the INDLEV-20 handles 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch backsets and adjusts from 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. So the choice on a single-occupancy restroom comes down to whether you want the indicator.
9) For a multi-family bedroom and bath package, which privacy lever is rated for the traffic - Delaney Vida Square or Cal-Royal INDLEV-20?
The Delaney Vida Square privacy leverset is BHMA Grade 3 certified and designated for residential use, which is the normal fit for apartment bedroom and bath doors. The Cal-Royal INDLEV-20 is rated Standard Duty on the commercial grade scale. On a unit-interior package where the doors are bedroom and bath, the Vida Square is the intended duty class; where the same privacy function goes on a common-area or back-of-house restroom that sees building-wide traffic, the INDLEV-20's commercial-grade rating is the one to specify.
10) How much room does the Delaney Vida square lever need beside the door, and will it clear a wall or casing?
The lever is 3-7/8 inches long with 1-7/8 inches of projection off the face of the door, and the square rose measures 2-9/16 by 2-9/16 inches. That projection is what matters on a door tight to a return wall or against a deep casing, and the 2-9/16 rose footprint tells you how much of the door face gets covered if you are replacing a round rose lock and worried about an unfinished ring in the paint.
11) What finishes does the Delaney Vida Square privacy lever come in, and can I match it across a whole building?
Four finishes: US15 Satin Nickel, US26 Polished Chrome, US12P Tuscany Bronze, and US19 Black. Those are the standard finish codes, so you can line the Vida up against what is already hanging on the other doors by code rather than by eye. All four are the same square trim, so a mixed-finish building can still standardize on one lever shape.
12) Is the Cal-Royal INDLEV-20 a drop-in replacement for a Delaney Vida Square privacy lever?
Dimensionally the two line up on the same prep: the Vida Square privacy leverset is adjustable to a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset and fits 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal INDLEV-20 covers 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch backsets and adjusts across 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch as well. What changes is the outside face - the INDLEV-20 is a Privacy with Indicator lock and shows a red/green occupancy indicator, where the Vida Square presents a plain 2-9/16 inch square trim with an emergency pin hole. If the aesthetic across a run of bedroom or bath doors matters, that visual difference is the deciding factor, not the prep.
13) Will the Delaney Vida lever work for someone who can't grip a knob?
It is a lever, not a knob, so it operates with a closed fist, a forearm, or an elbow, which is what matters for residents with limited hand strength. That is the usual reason a property manager swaps bedroom and bathroom knobs out for levers on a turn. The Vida is a bored lever set that goes into the same 2-1/8 inch cross bore the old knob came out of.
14) I need a matching black or bronze finish across a floor of bedroom doors - does the indicator lever come in the same finishes?
The Delaney Vida Square privacy leverset is the one to standardize on when finish match across a run of doors drives the decision: it is sold in US15 Satin Nickel, US26 Polished Chrome, US12P Tuscany Bronze, and US19 Black, all on the same 2-9/16 inch square trim with a 3-7/8 inch lever. The Cal-Royal INDLEV-20 is specified by its privacy indicator function and backset range rather than by a matching finish family, so it is the right pick where occupancy indication is the requirement and a finish break on those particular doors is acceptable.
