Deltana 5851-15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Deltana 5851 Claremont entry lever fit a 2 inch thick door?
Yes. The Claremont 5851 entry lever covers doors from 1-3/8 inches up to 2 inches thick, so it handles standard 1-3/4 inch doors as well as thicker slabs and older 1-3/8 inch interior doors without a thickness kit.
2) Does the Deltana 5851 lever work with a 2-3/8 or a 2-3/4 inch backset?
Both. The latch on the Claremont 5851 is an adjustable backset unit covering 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inches, which are the two backsets used on residential doors, so you don't have to know the bore location before you order.
3) Can I key the Deltana Claremont lever to my existing Kwikset keys?
The 5851 uses a Kwikset keyway compatible cylinder, so it takes Kwikset-profile keys and can be keyed alike with other Kwikset-keyway locks on the property. Keying is a free option at order: choose keyed different or keyed alike, and you can also supply a key code to have it cut to match what you already carry.
4) Do I need to order the Deltana 5851 Claremont lever left hand or right hand?
Handing matters. The Claremont 5851 entry lever is ordered as Left Hand or Right Hand, so check which way the door swings and which side the lever sits before picking. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your right, it's right hand. Each of the three finishes, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Brushed Nickel and Polished Chrome, is offered in both handings.
5) Is the Deltana Claremont lever rated for commercial door traffic?
No. The Claremont 5851 is a Grade 3 residential tubular lockset, built for homes and light-use openings. For a commercial corridor or a multi-family common door, step up to a Grade 2 or Grade 1 cylindrical lock such as the Hager 2525 Grade 2 entry lever or a Grade 1 Corbin Russwin CL3100 Series cylindrical lever.
6) Can I swap a Deltana 5851 Claremont lever straight onto a door that has a Kwikset knob or lever now?
In most cases yes. It's a tubular bored lockset with an adjustable 2-3/8 to 2-3/4 inch backset and it fits 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, so a standard 2-1/8 inch bored door prepped for a residential Kwikset lock takes it. Because the cylinder is Kwikset keyway compatible, existing Kwikset keys can be carried over by keying to code.
7) What is the closest equivalent to the Deltana 5851 Claremont entry lever from another brand?
For a like-for-like residential keyed entry lever, the Master Lock BC Series RL01 is a Grade 3 keyed entry lockset with a return-style lever, the same grade and entry function as the Deltana 5851 Claremont. The Callan Artino CLN-360201 is another Grade 3 entrance leverset. Where the Deltana 5851 differs is the cylinder: it is a single-cylinder keyed entry built around a Kwikset-compatible keyway, so if you are keying into an existing Kwikset system the 5851 drops into that system directly.
8) I need a keyed entry lever for a commercial corridor with heavy traffic - is the Deltana 5851 the right choice?
The Deltana 5851 Claremont is a Grade 3 residential lever, so for a high-traffic commercial opening step up to a commercial-rated entry lockset. The Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 medium-duty cylindrical lever with entry/office function. The Cal-Royal AUS00 is an entrance/office lever with a solid brass forged body for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
9) We key everything on Schlage C - is the Deltana 5851 Claremont a fit, or is there a better option?
The Deltana 5851 Claremont uses a Kwikset-compatible keyway, so it will not accept a Schlage C key. If your building standard is Schlage C, the Cal-Royal AG00 is an entrance lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different on a 2-3/8 inch backset, and the Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever in the same AG Series uses a 6-pin Schlage C keyway on a 2-3/4 inch backset. Choose by the keyway your existing masterkey system runs on before you choose by trim.
10) Is the Deltana 5851 Claremont acceptable on a fire-rated apartment corridor door?
For a fire-rated opening, specify a lockset with a stated fire rating. The Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant cylindrical lever with a fire rating for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors, the Falcon K101 is Grade 1 fire rated for 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Arrow MK02-TA carries a fire rating with privacy function. The Deltana 5851 Claremont is a Grade 3 residential lever, which suits unit interiors and light-duty residential entrances rather than rated corridor openings.
11) What does the entry function on the Deltana 5851 actually do?
It's a single cylinder keyed entry lock: key on the outside, thumbturn or button on the inside, and the inside lever always retracts the latch for free egress. That's the normal setup for a house front door, apartment entry or an office door where you want to lock up from inside without a key.
12) I'm buying levers for a whole building. Can I get these keyed alike across units?
Yes. Keying is selected at order as keyed alike or keyed different, and there's a field for keying to a specific code. For a multi-unit job that usually means keyed different per unit with a code you control, so units aren't cross-keyed. Bear in mind these are Grade 3 residential levers on a Kwikset-compatible keyway, which is fine for apartment interiors but light for common-area doors.
13) What should I use on the interior doors that do not need a key, to match a Claremont entry lever?
The Deltana 5851 Claremont is a keyed single-cylinder entry lever, so for hall, closet and bedroom doors you want a non-keyed function instead. Passage options include the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever and the Callan Asheville CLN-AH5011, both Grade 3; for bath and bedroom privacy, the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever is Grade 3 and fits 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. Trim styling will not match the Claremont lever exactly, so if visual consistency matters across the whole door group, plan the set from one series.
14) Is a storeroom lever a substitute for the Deltana 5851 entry lever?
They are not interchangeable. The Deltana 5851 Claremont is an entry function, so the inside lever retracts the latch freely and the outside can be left unlocked. A storeroom function keeps the outside lever locked at all times and requires the key on every entry: the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom lock with the Withnell lever for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. Use storeroom for mechanical and supply rooms, entry for tenant and office doors.
15) Can I avoid issuing keys and still get entry control on that door?
If key distribution is the problem, a keyless lever replaces the Deltana 5851 Claremont's single-cylinder keyed entry with a code. The Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function and ADA compliance for 1-3/16 to 2 inch doors, the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set fitting 1-1/8 to 2 inch doors with an adjustable backset, and the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock. Note these are code-entry devices, so a lost code is reset rather than rekeyed.
16) The Deltana 5851 is handed left and right - is there an entry lever I can stock non-handed instead?
The Deltana 5851 Claremont Lever Entry is ordered as a left hand or right hand set, so a multi-unit buyer has to carry both. If you would rather stock one SKU, look at non-handed cylindrical lever platforms: the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 cylindrical lock with a non-handed design and the Falcon K101 uses non-handed levers on a Grade 1 heavy duty chassis fitting 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch doors. Those are passage functions, so for keyed openings pair them with the keyed function in the same commercial series rather than treating them as a direct swap for the 5851.
17) I want a keyed entry lever plus a deadbolt on the same door - what is the alternative to buying the 5851 separately?
The Deltana 5851 Claremont is a single-cylinder keyed entry lever on its own, so a deadbolt is a separate purchase and a separate keying instruction. If you would rather buy it as one carton, the Callan Bennett CLN-BN3001R is a Grade 3 entrance leverset with a deadbolt combo. The tradeoff is finish and trim choice: the Claremont is offered in oil rubbed bronze, brushed nickel and polished chrome.
18) Is a knob entrance lockset an acceptable swap for the Claremont lever on an accessible unit?
Levers and knobs are not equivalent for accessibility. The Deltana 5851 Claremont is a lever handle, which is operable without grasping or twisting; the Arrow HK11-BB is a turn-pushbutton entrance cylindrical lock with a ball knob for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Arrow MK02-TA uses a Tudor knob. Use the knob sets where a knob is the existing building standard, and keep levers on units that have to meet accessible operation.
19) What is the Deltana 5851 Claremont lever made of?
Zinc and aluminum construction, finished in Oil Rubbed Bronze, Brushed Nickel or Polished Chrome. If you need a forged solid brass body on an entry lever instead, the Cal-Royal AUS00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office lever with a solid brass forged body.
20) Will a dummy lever work in place of the Deltana 5851 on a door that does not latch?
Yes, but understand what you are giving up. The Deltana 5851 Claremont is a tubular keyed entry lock with a working latch; a dummy is surface-mounted trim with no latch and no cylinder, for closet and french door leaves that are held by a ball catch. Options include the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy in left hand and right hand, the Emtek Classic Cortina dummy pair, and the Callan Bentley CLN-BN5051 Grade 2 dummy lever. Do not order a dummy for any door that needs to stay closed on its own.
