Delaney Hardware D54511 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Delaney VL passage lever fit a 1-3/8 inch interior door?
Yes. The VL Lever passage set installs on doors from 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick, so it covers both older interior doors and standard 1-3/4 inch slabs without any extra kit.
2) Does the Delaney VL lever work with a 2-3/4 inch backset, or only 2-3/8?
The latch is adjustable for either 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, which are the two standard bored-door backsets, so one part covers both preps. Cross bore is 2-1/8 inches and the edge bore is 1 inch, matching a standard door prep.
3) Do I need to order a left-hand or right-hand version of this Delaney passage lever?
No handing to specify. The VL passage lever is reversible and installs on a left or right hand door, so you can stock one part for a whole building of interior openings.
4) Can a passage lever be used on a bedroom or bathroom door?
Not where you need privacy. The VL passage function has no locking mechanism at all, both levers always turn freely, so it belongs on hallways, closets and pantry doors. For a bath or bedroom you want a privacy set, such as the Cal-Royal INDLEV-20 privacy leverset with a red/green occupancy indicator.
5) Is the Delaney VL lever rated for a commercial building or apartment corridor?
It is a Grade 3 residential-duty set. That suits single-family, condo interiors and light multi-family closet and hall doors. For corridor or commercial traffic step up to a commercial-duty lever, such as the Cal-Royal INDLEV series, which is listed as standard duty commercial grade.
6) Can I use this Delaney lever on a back entry door with a deadbolt?
Yes. Because the passage lever provides latching only and no keyed security, it is commonly paired with a separate deadbolt on a back or service door, the deadbolt doing the locking and the lever the latching.
7) What latch faceplate comes with the Delaney VL passage lever, and will it drop into my existing mortise?
It ships with a round corner latch faceplate. If the doors already have round corner latch prep, it drops straight in; if the existing latch faceplate is square corner or a drive-in, the pocket will need to be adjusted.
8) Is mounting hardware included with the Delaney VL passage set, or do I need screws and a strike separately?
All necessary mounting hardware comes in the box, along with the latch and its round corner faceplate. Nothing else is required to hang it on a standard bored door.
9) Is the Cal-Royal INDLEV-20 a direct substitute for the Delaney VL passage lever?
Not a functional match. The Delaney VL D54511 is passage function, free-turning on both sides for hallways and closets, while the Cal-Royal INDLEV-20 is a privacy indicator lever with a red/green occupancy indicator. They share the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range and the same 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch backset options, so they can sit in the same prep, but the INDLEV-20 will lock the door where the VL passage lever cannot.
10) For a commercial corridor, should I specify the Delaney VL passage lever or the Cal-Royal INDLEV-20?
The Delaney VL D54511 is a Grade 3 residential-rated passage lever in Satin Nickel (US15). The Cal-Royal INDLEV-20 is rated standard duty commercial grade and carries a privacy indicator function. If the opening is a commercial-use door, the INDLEV-20 is the commercially rated option of the two; the Delaney VL is the choice where a free-turning residential passage lever is what the spec calls for.
11) How far does the Delaney VL lever stick out from the door, and how long is the handle?
The handle is 4-3/16 inches long with a 2-5/16 inch projection off the face of the door, on a 2-9/16 by 2-9/16 inch rose. Worth checking against tight door-to-wall clearances and any door stop position before installing.
12) Will this satin nickel finish match the rest of my Delaney levers?
The finish is US15 Satin Nickel, the standard brushed nickel designation, so it matches other US15 trim across a building. The VL is one lever style within Delaney's VL series, so ordering the same series in US15 keeps the lever shape consistent too.
