Delaney Hardware D54521 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Delaney VL privacy lever fit a 1-3/8 inch bedroom door?
Yes. The VL Lever privacy set installs on doors from 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick, which covers both the lighter interior doors common in older homes and standard 1-3/4 inch doors. No spacer or extension kit is needed inside that range.
2) Does the Delaney VL lever work with an existing 2-3/8 inch backset bore, or do I need 2-3/4?
Either one. The latch is adjustable for a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, so it drops into the two standard bore layouts without ordering a different latch. The prep it expects is a 2-1/8 inch cross bore and a 1 inch edge bore, which is the standard residential bored-door prep.
3) Is the Delaney VL Grade 3 privacy lever rated for a commercial building?
It is a Grade 3 set catalogued as residential duty, so it suits apartments, single family homes, and light hospitality guest rooms. For a school, office, or other commercial restroom opening, step up to a commercial privacy lever such as the Cal-Royal INDLEV-20, which is built to a standard duty commercial grade and adds a red/green occupancy indicator.
4) I need a privacy lever for a public restroom where staff need to see if the stall or room is occupied. Is the Delaney VL Lever the right choice?
The Delaney VL Lever D54521 is a residential Grade 3 privacy lever with a push button inside and a pin hole outside, so there is no visual occupancy signal. For an opening where the room needs to read occupied or vacant from outside, the Cal-Royal INDLEV-20 is the privacy lever to specify: it carries a red/green occupancy indicator and is a standard duty commercial grade lock, with the same adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset and 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range.
5) What is the difference between the Delaney VL Lever privacy leverset and the Cal-Royal INDLEV-20 privacy leverset?
Both are cylindrical privacy levers that fit doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick with an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset. The Delaney VL Lever D54521 is a Grade 3 residential privacy lever in US15 Satin Nickel, locked by a push button on the inside with a small pin hole on the outside for emergency release. The Cal-Royal INDLEV-20 is a standard duty commercial grade privacy lever that adds a red/green occupancy indicator so the door reads occupied or vacant from the corridor side.
6) Do I have to order a left hand or right hand version of this Delaney privacy lever?
No handing to specify. The VL Lever is reversible and installs on a left or right hand door out of the same box, so a property manager buying a dozen for mixed openings only needs one part number.
7) How does the Delaney VL privacy lever unlock from the outside if someone is locked in?
It is a push button lock on the inside with a small pin hole on the exterior rose. Pushing a straightened pin or emergency key through that hole releases the button from the hallway side, which is what makes it acceptable for bedroom and bathroom doors.
8) How far does the Delaney VL lever stick out from the door, and will it clear a door stop or casing?
The handle projects 2-5/16 inches off the face of the door and the lever itself is 4-3/16 inches long. The rose trim is 2-9/16 by 2-9/16 inches, which matters when you are replacing a knob set with a larger rose and want to know whether the old finish ring left a mark.
9) What comes in the box with the Delaney VL privacy leverset?
Both levers, the roses, the adjustable latch with a round corner faceplate, and all the mounting screws needed to hang it. The latch faceplate is the round corner style, so if your existing door is mortised for a square corner plate you will need to file or patch the edge mortise.
10) Can the Cal-Royal INDLEV-20 be swapped into the same door prep as a Delaney VL Lever privacy lock?
Yes on the prep. The Delaney VL Lever D54521 is a bored cylindrical privacy lever using a 2-1/8 inch cross bore, 1 inch edge bore, and an adjustable 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset on doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. The Cal-Royal INDLEV-20 is also a 2-3/8 inch and 2-3/4 inch backset privacy lever adjustable for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, so it lands in a standard cylindrical prep. The visible change is the indicator on the Cal-Royal outside rose versus the plain pin hole on the Delaney, and finish should be confirmed separately since the Delaney is supplied in US15 Satin Nickel.
11) For apartment bedroom and bathroom doors, is there a reason to choose the Delaney VL Lever over an indicator privacy lever?
On bedroom and bathroom doors in a dwelling unit, the Delaney VL Lever D54521 covers the function directly: Grade 3 residential privacy, push button locking inside, pin hole release outside, reversible handing for left or right hand doors, and a round corner latch faceplate with mounting hardware included. The Cal-Royal INDLEV-20 privacy lever carries a red/green occupancy indicator, which is aimed at rooms where occupancy needs to be read from outside rather than a unit bedroom or bath.
12) Will this Delaney satin nickel lever match the rest of my hardware?
The finish is US15 satin nickel, the standard brushed nickel designation, so it lines up with other US15 hinges, stops, and passage sets across a building. Staying inside the VL Lever series for your passage and dummy openings keeps the lever shape and rose size identical from door to door.
