Deltana 6432 Linstead Lever Privacy

It is built as a residential lever, steel and zinc, tubular. For a bathroom or bedroom in a single family home, a condo unit, or a furnished rental, that is the right class of hardware. For a commercial restroom or anything taking public traffic, step up to a Grade 1 or Grade 2 cylindrical privacy lock instead, such as the Arrow MK02-TA privacy cylindrical lock or the Hager 2540 with the Withnell lever, which fits 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors.

Universal handing. The 6432 Linstead installs on a left or right hand door either way it swings, so one part number covers every bedroom and bath opening in the house. Nothing to specify on the order and nothing to reverse in the field.

No key, and no keyway. This is a privacy set: it locks from the inside of the room by thumbturn or button and is meant for bedrooms and bathrooms. If you need something a key opens from the hall, a privacy lock is the wrong function, and you want an entrance or keyed set instead.

In most cases yes. It is a tubular bored lockset, the standard 2-1/8 inch cross bore and 1 inch edge bore prep that residential knobs and levers share, and the latch adjusts to whichever backset the door was drilled for, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4. Doors from 1-3/8 to 2 inch are covered. Where it will not work is a mortise lock door, which has a pocket cut in the edge rather than two round bores.

The Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever set is the nearest match in intent: it is a Grade 3 lever set with Privacy/Bed/Bath function for a 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door. The Deltana 6432 Linstead is also a non-keyed Privacy/Bed/Bath lever, tubular, with an adjustable 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset and a 1-3/8 to 2 inch door thickness range, so it covers a slightly thicker door and does not require you to specify backset at order time. Both are residential-weight bed and bath sets, so the choice comes down to lever style and finish.

For a commercial washroom, step up to a graded privacy set. The Hager 2540 privacy lock with Withnell lever is Grade 2 and fits a 1-3/8 to 2 inch door. The Arrow MK02-TA is a Grade 1 Privacy/Bed/Bath set with a fire rating, on a 1-3/4 to 2 inch door, though it is a Tudor knob rather than a lever, so it will not meet a lever-required opening. The Deltana 6432 Linstead is specified as residential, which is the dividing line here.

Dummy trim is the common mix-up. The Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy lever, the Emtek Arts & Crafts and Cortina dummy pairs, the BEST 9K 1DT and 7KC 1DT single dummy trims, and the Callan Bentley dummy lever all mount a matching lever on the door face but carry no latch and no lock - they are for closet and inactive leaves. The Deltana 6432 Linstead is a tubular Privacy/Bed/Bath set that latches and locks from inside.

The Deltana 6432 Linstead covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. For a thicker leaf, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage cylindrical lock takes 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch doors with non-handed levers and is fire rated, though it is passage rather than privacy function. That is a functional trade to weigh before ordering.

No. For a fire rated opening choose a lock that carries the rating: the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage/closet cylindrical lever lock, fire rated, for a 1-3/4 to 2 inch door, and the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty fire rated passage lock for 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch doors. The Deltana 6432 Linstead is a residential steel and zinc privacy set.

The 6432 is the privacy version of the Linstead lever, for bed and bath. Deltana builds the Linstead in other functions too, so the family is the place to look for a matching passage or dummy on closets and hall doors. If you want a whole suite from one design in a single order, the Baldwin Estate 5103 lever on the 5048 rose is sold here in privacy, passage, left hand half dummy and right hand half dummy, which covers every door in the house with one look.

The 6432 Linstead handles up to 2 inch thick doors, so it clears a heavy or built-up slab that a lot of residential sets top out under. The Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever, for comparison, is listed to 1-3/4 inch, so on a 2 inch door the Deltana is the one that reaches.

The 6432 Linstead is privacy function, with a thumbturn-style bed and bath lock and no key. For a hall or closet door that only needs a latch, the Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever with 5048 rose is a passage set in the same decorative vein, and the Bravura Atlanta, Orlando, and Tampa round- and square-trim passage leversets are Grade 2 passage sets. The Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel.

The 6432 Linstead is non-keyed. For a keyed opening, the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever is Grade 2 with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different on a 2-3/8 inch backset and a 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door; the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with lever handle on a 1-3/8 to 2 inch door; and the Cal-Royal AUS00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office lever with a solid brass forged body for the same door range.

The 6432 Linstead ships with an adjustable 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset, which is what lets one part number cover a mixed set of doors. Among the alternatives, the Lockey 1150S mechanical keypad lever set also has an adjustable backset and takes 1-1/8 to 2 inch doors, and the Kwikset 200DL Delta passage lever is reversible with an adjustable 6AL latch and RCS strike. Fixed-backset sets like the Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever are specified at 2-3/4 inch and the Cal-Royal AG00 at 2-3/8 inch, so those need the measurement up front.

Not with the 6432 Linstead - it is universal handed, so one part covers left and right doors. Among the alternatives, the Falcon B101 Grade 2 passage lever and the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock are non-handed, and the Kwikset 200DL Delta passage lever is reversible. The Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy, by contrast, is sold as separate left hand and right hand parts, so handing has to be called out on the order.

Privacy sets like the 6432 Linstead are not the right function there. The Dexter C1000 Series asylum lock (F87) is Grade 1 for a 1-3/8 to 2 inch door, and the Arrow MK33-BD-CS is a Grade 2 heavy duty asylum lock with a ball knob and a conventional Schlage C keyway cylinder. Both are keyed both sides rather than a bed and bath thumbturn.

Mechanical keypad lever sets do that job. The Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function and ADA compliance for a 1-3/16 to 2 inch door, and the 2835DC is the double combination version of the same lock. The Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty keypad lever set with double combination, passage function, for 1-1/8 to 2 inch doors. All are passage function behind the code rather than the inside-thumbturn privacy the 6432 Linstead provides.

The 6432 Linstead privacy set comes in PVD Polished Brass, Oil Rubbed Bronze, Antique Nickel, Polished Chrome, and Antique Brass. If you want one decorative family covering multiple functions instead, the Baldwin Estate 5103 with 5048 rose is offered as privacy, passage, and left and right hand half dummy, so the same lever repeats across bedroom, hall, and closet openings.

Steel and zinc through the body and lever. That is the normal construction for a residential tubular privacy set and it is what keeps the cost down against a solid brass forged lever like the Cal-Royal AUS00. For bedroom and bathroom doors that see household traffic rather than a lobby, it is the right build.

A lever is easier to operate with full hands or limited grip, which is why levers are what most renovations and accessible units spec now. The 6432 Linstead is the lever form of the same privacy function a bath knob gives you, with the same universal handing so it goes on any door in the unit. If you specifically want a knob for the privacy opening, the Arrow MK02-TA Tudor knob privacy lock is the knob equivalent.
