Deltana 5854D-15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Does the Deltana 5854D Claremont lever actually latch, or is it just a pull?
It is a dummy lever, so there is no latch and no moving mechanism. The lever is fixed and mounts to the door face as a pull. Use it on closet doors, inactive leaves of a pair, or false doors where you want the handle to match the working openings but no latching is needed. If you need the door to stay shut, you need a passage or privacy set instead.
2) Why do I have to pick left hand or right hand on a Deltana Claremont dummy lever?
Because the lever is fixed, it cannot be flipped after the fact the way a working lockset can. The 5854D is sold handed, left hand and right hand, and the hand you choose determines which way the lever points when it is mounted. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your left it is left hand, hinges on the right is right hand. On an inactive leaf of a pair, order to match the direction of the lever on the active leaf so the two mirror each other.
3) Is the Deltana Claremont dummy lever rated for commercial traffic?
No. It is a Grade 3 residential lever from Deltana's Traditional Collection, built in zinc and aluminum. Grade 3 is the light-duty residential tier, so for apartment common areas, offices, schools, or anything with commercial cycle counts you want a Grade 1 or Grade 2 dummy instead. The BEST 9K Series 1DT is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy trim, and the BEST 7KC Series 1DT is the Grade 2 medium duty equivalent.
4) I need a lever that actually latches the door - what do I order instead of the Deltana 5854D Claremont?
The Deltana 5854D Claremont is dummy function, meaning it is fixed trim with no latch and no keying. If the door needs to latch, use a passage lever instead: the Kwikset 200BRNL RDT Breton is a Grade 3 passage lever for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset, and the Bravura Atlanta with round trim is a Grade 2 passage leverset. For a bed or bath door needing a thumbturn, the Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton is a Grade 3 privacy lever for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
5) What should I use instead of the Deltana 5854D Claremont on a fire-rated or high-traffic institutional door?
The Deltana 5854D Claremont is a residential dummy trim. For rated and high-traffic openings, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever with a fire rating and a 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever with a fire rating for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. Note both are latching passage locks rather than dummy trim, so the door prep differs from the Claremont.
6) Can I key the Deltana 5854D Claremont lever or add a cylinder later?
No. The 5854D is non-keyed and takes no cylinder, because a dummy lever has no internal mechanism to operate. If the opening needs to lock, move to a keyed function on a different set, such as the Cal-Royal AUS00 Grade 3 entrance/office lever or the Callan Artino Grade 3 entrance leverset.
7) I need a dummy lever for a double door, do I order one 5854D or two?
Order two, one left hand and one right hand, so the levers mirror across the pair. Each 5854D is a single handed dummy. If you would rather buy a matched pair in one line item, Emtek sells its Arts and Crafts and Cortina dummy levers as pairs.
8) What is a good match if I want the same lever style in a working passage or privacy function?
The 5854D is dummy only, so there is no latching Claremont on offer here. For a traditional-look lever family where you can get dummy, passage, and privacy in one design, the Baldwin Estate 5103 with 5048 rose is available as a handed half dummy (left or right), a passage lever, and a privacy lever. That lets you carry one appearance across closet, hall, and bath doors.
9) Which mid-grade dummy lever can I use instead of the Deltana 5854D Claremont?
Two Grade 2 dummy levers sit between residential and heavy commercial: the BEST 7KC Series single dummy trim cylindrical lever is a Grade 2 non-keyed medium duty dummy, and the Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever. Both hold the same dummy function as the Deltana 5854D Claremont, so they mount as fixed pull trim with no latch, with a graded duty rating the Claremont does not carry.
10) Do I need a handed dummy lever, or is there a non-handed option?
The Deltana 5854D Claremont dummy is ordered by hand - right hand or left hand - in Oil Rubbed Bronze, Brushed Nickel, or Polished Chrome. The Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy lever is likewise offered as a left hand and a right hand item, so handing must be confirmed there too. If you would rather avoid handing on the door entirely, the dummy pairs from Emtek's Arts and Crafts and Hammered levers, and the Classic Brass Cortina dummy, are supplied as pairs for a double-door or inactive-leaf application.
11) Will a passage lever like the Falcon B101 work as a substitute for the Deltana 5854D Claremont dummy?
No - they do different jobs. The Deltana 5854D Claremont is dummy function: fixed trim, no latch, non-keyed. The Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical passage lever with a non-handed design, and the Dexter C1000 passage is a Grade 1 clutching non-keyed passage lever for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Both of those operate a latchbolt and require a bored latch prep and strike, so they are not a drop-in for a dummy trim opening.
12) If I need a keyed lever rather than the Deltana 5854D Claremont dummy, what are the options?
The Deltana 5854D Claremont is non-keyed dummy trim with no cylinder. For a keyed opening, the Cal-Royal AUS00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office lever with a solid brass forged body for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt. These require cylinder keying and a latch prep the dummy does not use.
13) Does a dummy lever need a bore hole in the door?
A dummy lever like the 5854D mounts to the door face and does not use a latch, so there is no edge bore and no strike prep. That makes it the usual choice when you are dressing up a closet or inactive door that was never prepped for a lockset, or when you are covering an existing rose footprint on a door where the lock has been removed.
14) What is the Deltana 5854D made of and will the finish hold up in a bathroom or entry hall?
Construction is zinc and aluminum with a plated decorative finish, offered in Oil Rubbed Bronze, Brushed Nickel, and Polished Chrome. It is a residential-duty part, so interior use is where it belongs. A dummy sees only hand contact, not cycling, so wear is about the finish rather than the mechanism.
