Delaney Hardware D54501 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Delaney VL entrance lever fit a 1-3/8 inch interior door, or is it only for 1-3/4 inch doors?
Both. The VL Lever entrance set fits wood and metal doors from 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick, which covers standard exterior slabs and the thinner older interior doors. No spacer kit or separate part number is needed to move between the two.
2) Do I have to specify the backset for the Delaney VL lever, or does it adjust?
The latch is adjustable, so one lockset covers the common bored backsets rather than forcing you to pick at order time. That matters on replacement work where you have not measured the existing bore center to the door edge yet.
3) Is the Delaney VL lever handed? I have doors swinging both ways in the same building.
It is non-handed. The VL entrance leverset fits both right and left hand doors, so a property manager can buy one part number for an entire building and sort handing at the door.
4) Which keyway does the Delaney VL entrance lever come in, and can I have it keyed alike with the rest of my order?
Two keyways are offered: KW1 5-pin and SC1 5-pin, so you can match whichever platform the building already runs. Keying is specified as keyed different or keyed alike at order time, and all keyed products on the same order are keyed alike by default.
5) Is the Delaney VL lever rated for a commercial opening or an apartment corridor?
It is a Grade 3 residential lockset. Grade 3 is the residential duty level, so it suits single-family, rental units, and interior entry doors, not high-traffic commercial or institutional openings where a Grade 1 or 2 cylindrical lock is specified.
6) I need a lever for a restroom or bedroom door that locks from inside without a key - is the Delaney VL D54501 the right one?
No. The Delaney VL D54501 is a keyed entrance function lever, locked by a thumbturn inside and opened by a key outside. For a door that should lock from the inside only, use a privacy lever instead, such as the Cal-Royal INDLEV-20, which is a privacy function lever with a red/green occupancy indicator so staff can see at a glance whether the room is in use. Both fit doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick.
7) How does the Delaney VL entrance lever lock and unlock?
Key outside, thumbturn inside. It is a keyed entrance function, the standard arrangement for a front or side entry door where you want to lock up from inside without a key and enter from outside with one.
8) What do I need on the truck to install the Delaney VL leverset?
A Phillips screwdriver. All parts, the latch, strike, screws, and instructions ship with the set, and it works for new construction or a straight replacement in an existing bored door.
9) I need a bathroom or bedroom lever instead of a keyed entry, what should I look at?
An entrance function is the wrong pick there since it takes a key outside. For a privacy opening, the Cal-Royal INDLEV-20 is a privacy leverset with a red/green occupancy indicator, offered in 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inch backsets and adjustable for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, which is useful on restrooms and treatment rooms where staff need to see occupancy at a glance.
10) Will the Delaney VL D54501 hold up on a commercial office or tenant corridor door?
The Delaney VL D54501 is rated Grade 3 and is classified for residential use. For an opening on a commercial duty cycle, the Cal-Royal INDLEV-20 is listed as standard duty commercial grade; note that it is a privacy indicator function rather than a keyed entrance, so it suits restrooms and single-occupancy rooms rather than a keyed entry door.
11) My doors are prepped 2-3/4 inch backset - can I mix the Delaney VL lever with Cal-Royal levers on the same job?
Yes on the prep. The Delaney VL D54501 has an adjustable backset and fits wood and metal doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, and the Cal-Royal INDLEV-20 covers both 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch backsets with the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range, so a standard 161 bore works for both. They are different brands and finishes are ordered separately, so confirm the finish on each if the two are going on doors that face each other.
12) What finish is the Delaney VL entrance leverset and will it match my other satin nickel hardware?
US15 Satin Nickel. US15 is the standard brushed-nickel designation, so it lines up with other hardware specified as US15 on the same opening or elsewhere in the unit.
13) Is the Delaney VL lever metal or plastic internally?
Metal construction throughout the lockset body and lever. That is what carries the Grade 3 cycle duty on a residential entry door.
