Deltana CL1532 Cabinet Lock, 1-1/2" x 1-3/4"

The CL1532 measures 1-1/2 x 1-3/4 inches, so plan the mounting face around those two numbers. It's a residential-duty cabinet lock, sized for wood cabinet doors rather than a metal server rack or a coin box. Deltana states the size only, so lay the lock body on the door and mark from the part itself before you bore anything.

Retrofit is one of the uses Deltana calls out for these cabinet locks, along with remodeling and new construction. Practically that means you can add one to a cabinet that never had a lock, or replace a failed lock in a millwork run, without changing the door.

Deltana rates the CL1532 as residential. For an office casework run, a nurse station, or a school storage cabinet where the lock gets cycled all day and has to answer to a facility standard, look at a commercial cabinet lock instead: the HES KS-M mechanical server cabinet lock and the HES KP20 keypad cabinet lock are both Grade 1, and Sargent's 1655 6-pin and 4142 horizontal cabinet locks are the pinned-cylinder commercial route. The Deltana is the right part for residential millwork, built-ins, and furniture.

No. The CL1532 is a standalone keyed cabinet lock and Deltana doesn't publish a keyway or core option for it. If the cabinet has to fall under a facility master key system, go to a lock built around an interchangeable core or a pinned cylinder: the BEST 3L Series dead-locking cabinet lock and the BEST 5L Series coin box lock both use a 7-pin housing (the 5L takes an SFIC core), and Sargent's 1655 and 4142 use 6-pin cylinders.

A keyed brass cabinet lock is the simplest answer when one or two people need access and you don't want to manage codes: nothing to power, nothing to program. Go keyless when a key handoff is the problem. The Lockey C170 is a mechanical surface mount combination cam lock with no power at all, fitting doors 1-1/8 to 2 inches thick. The SDC 295 Series is battery powered with a 30-user keypad. If the cabinet needs to release from an access control system or a remote button, that's an electric lock instead: the SDC 290 Series micro electric bolt and the DynaLock 1410 Series both run dual voltage, and the HES KS200 ties into wired Wiegand access control.

Nine finishes: PVD Polished Brass, Polished Brass, Antique Brass, Polished Nickel, Brushed Nickel, Antique Nickel, Polished Chrome, Brushed Chrome, and Oil Rubbed Bronze. PVD Polished Brass is the one to pick if the cabinets are in a kitchen or bath where a lacquered brass would rub off at the touch point. If you're standardizing a building, order all the locks in one finish call at once so they come from the same finish family as the pulls.

Solid brass is the body material, not a plating over pot metal. That matters on a cabinet lock because the housing takes the torque every time someone turns the key, and it's why the same lock can carry nine different plated and PVD finishes over one substrate.

Deltana describes the CL1532 as built to secure cabinet doors, and that's the application to hold it to. For drawers specifically, Sargent lists the KESO F1 4152 and 4252 Series as drawer cabinet locks, with the 4252 field reversible.

Each. The unit of measure on the CL1532 is a single lock, so a 12-door built-in run means 12 line quantity, one finish per lock. Nothing forces a case pack.

Deltana lists the CL1532 as a single model with finish as the only choice, so there is no left or right hand version to specify. If you're spec'ing a lock where reversibility is called out on the drawing, Sargent publishes handing explicitly: the 1655 is field reversible handing and the KESO F1 4252 is field reversible in operation.
