Deltana CL500FLC Commercial Entry Standard Grade 1, Clarendon Lever with Cylinder

Yes. The CL500FLC Clarendon entry lever covers doors from 1-3/8 inch up to 2 inches thick, so it handles both the older 1-3/8 inch interior leaf and the standard 1-3/4 inch commercial door, plus thicker slabs up to 2 inches. Fixed through-bolts hold the roses tight through that range.

The CL500FLC uses an ANSI strike, 4-7/8 inches with 1-1/4 inch lip-to-center. If your frame already has an ANSI 4-7/8 inch strike prep, which is what commercial hollow metal frames are normally prepped for, the lock drops straight in and you reuse the prep. Residential frames with a small T-strike or round-corner face plate will need the opening cut up to the 4-7/8 inch ANSI prep.

No handing to call out. The Clarendon lever is universal, so one part covers left hand, right hand, and reverse bevel openings. Field-reversible on site, which is what you want when you are stocking one lock for a building with doors swinging both ways.

Yes, the CL500FLC cylinder is cut for the Schlage C keyway, which is the most widely used keyway in commercial buildings. If your system is already keyed in Schlage C, this lever can be brought onto it. You can order keyed alike or keyed different, and there is a keying-to-code field where you enter your existing key code so the lock arrives operating on your keys.

It's a Grade 1 commercial cylindrical lockset, the top ANSI/BHMA durability tier and the one specified for high-traffic openings, built in steel and zinc. That is a step above the Grade 2 and Grade 3 levers common on light commercial and residential work, and it is what a property manager should be putting on a main tenant door or a corridor that sees constant use.

The CL500FLC is a Grade 1 cylindrical entry leverset with a Schlage C keyway and 2-3/4 inch backset. For a Grade 1 keyed lever on a heavier commercial opening, the Dexter C1000 Series Entry/Office lever is Grade 1 with an Entrance/Office function and a 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range. The Corbin Russwin CL3300 Series is another Grade 1 cylindrical lock family, with the 585F715 lever built for a 1-3/4 to 2 inch door. Confirm keyway and backset against the opening before ordering either, since the CL500FLC ships Schlage C.

The CL500FLC is an entry function lock, so the outside lever is unlocked and locked by key. A classroom opening needs a classroom function instead: the Dexter C1000 Series classroom lever is Grade 1 with a clutching keyed classroom function, and the Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever uses a 6-pin Schlage C keyway at a 2-3/4 inch backset, which matches the CL500FLC backset and keyway. For a storeroom door where the outside lever stays locked at all times, the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt and the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom lock with the Withnell lever.

Passage and dummy levers share the same cylindrical trim look but carry no cylinder. The CL500FLC is keyed with a single cylinder entry function. The Falcon K101 and Falcon T101 are Grade 1 heavy duty passage levers, the Design Hardware X75 is a Grade 1 passage lever, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage/closet lever - all latch only, none accept a key. Dummy trim such as the BEST 9K Series 1DT or the Accentra 455LN Augusta is fixed trim with no latch at all. Use those only where the opening never needs to be secured.

Entry function with a single cylinder: key from the outside, and a turn or button on the inside lets you lock the outside lever while the inside lever always retracts the latch for free egress. That fits a tenant suite, office, or apartment entry. If you need the outside lever locked at all times and only the key to open it, storeroom is the function to specify instead, and if you want a lockable-by-key classroom setup with no inside locking, that is a different function again.

Both are cylindrical entry levers, and both cover the same 1-3/8 to 2 inch door thickness range. The split is the duty rating: the Clarendon CL500FLC is Grade 1, the Hager 2525 is Grade 2. Grade 2 is the sensible choice for lighter-traffic commercial doors and multi-family unit entries where budget matters; Grade 1 is what you specify for a main entrance, a corridor, or anything cycled hard all day. If you need a Grade 1 entry lever from another line, the Dexter C1000 Series entry/office lever is Grade 1 but covers 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, so it will not reach a 2 inch slab.

The CL500FLC Clarendon is the keyed entry lever, so the interior doors on the same job need non-keyed functions ordered separately. For a Grade 1 match, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 passage cylindrical lock covering 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors. For bed and bath privacy, the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy lever for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. Trim styles will not match the Clarendon lever exactly across brands, so if appearance matters on the interior openings, that is the tradeoff.

Yes. Keying is specified at order time as either keyed alike or keyed different, at no extra charge. Keyed alike puts every lever on the job on the same key, which is what you want for one tenant with several doors or a landlord covering common areas. If you are extending an existing Schlage C system, use the keying-to-code field and give the code so the locks arrive already operating on your keys rather than needing a locksmith to rekey them on site.

It's a tubular cylindrical lockset, not a mortise lock, so it goes into a standard bored door prep: a cross-bore through the face and an edge bore for the latch, with the 2-3/4 inch backset the lock ships with. Nothing gets pocketed into the door edge the way a mortise body does. If the door already carries a mortise lock, this is not a swap, and if the door edge is prepped for a mortise case you would need a mortise lock or a filler and a re-prep instead.

Yes. The CL500FLC is a Grade 1 commercial entry lever. Where a Grade 2 entry lever is acceptable, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle and a 1-3/8 to 2 inch door thickness range, and the Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical lever with Entry/Office function. The Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever also uses a 6-pin Schlage C keyway, which keeps it on the same key system as the CL500FLC.

The CL500FLC is a keyed single cylinder entry lever. To control the same door by code rather than key, the Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function and ADA compliance, fitting doors 1-3/16 to 2 inches, and the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set for doors 1-1/8 to 2 inches. The Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock. These are code-entry devices, so they do not run on the Schlage C key system the CL500FLC uses.

Functionally a knob can hold the same entry function, but it is not the same trim. The CL500FLC is a lever handle, which is what ADA openings generally call for. The Arrow RL Series HK11-BB is a turn-pushbutton entrance cylindrical lock with a ball knob for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, and the Arrow MK33-BD-CS is a ball knob lock with a conventional Schlage C keyway cylinder. Both are knob trim, so they change how the door is operated even where the function matches.

Pairing a keyed entry lever on the secured doors with passage levers elsewhere is normal on a fleet. The CL500FLC is the Grade 1 keyed entry lever; for the latch-only doors, the Hager 2510 is a Grade 2 passage lever for doors 1-3/8 to 2 inches, the Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 passage/closet lever, and the Bravura Atlanta and Orlando are Grade 2 passage leversets with round trim. Trim styles differ between makers, so pick the passage lever whose rose and lever shape read closest to the Clarendon lever if a uniform look matters.

The CL500FLC is a mechanical cylindrical entry lever with a key cylinder. Where the door needs to be released from an access control system, the Corbin Russwin CL33903 is a Grade 1 fail safe electrified cylindrical lever running 12VAC/DC on doors 1-3/4 to 2 inches thick, offered with the NZ lever and D rose. That version requires power and wiring to the door, which a mechanical lever like the CL500FLC does not.

An entry function keys from the outside, which is not what a privacy door needs. For a push-button privacy lever instead, the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever for doors 1-3/8 to 2 inches, and the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with the 5048 rose covers the same function in a decorative line. The Arrow MK02-TA is a privacy lock with a Tudor knob and a fire rating for doors 1-3/4 to 2 inches.

Three finishes: oil rubbed bronze, brushed chrome, and polished brass. Oil rubbed bronze and polished brass are the ones that match traditional lobby and residential-style trim; brushed chrome is the closest of the three to the satin chrome and satin nickel look most commercial openings are standardized on. Pick the one that matches your existing door pulls and hinges, because all three are the same lock underneath.

The CL500FLC covers doors 1-3/8 to 2 inches thick, which already spans most commercial wood and hollow metal doors. For a residential-weight entry lever on the thinner end, the Cal-Royal AUS00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office lever with a solid brass forged body for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, and the Master Lock RL Series is a Grade 3 keyed entry lever in a return style. The Callan Bennett is a Grade 3 entrance leverset supplied as a deadbolt combo where the opening also needs a deadbolt.
