Deltana CL509FLC-26D – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Deltana CL509FLC Clarendon classroom lever fit a 2-3/8 inch backset door?
The CL509FLC ships with a 2-3/4 inch backset as standard. A 2-3/8 inch backset latch is sold separately, so if your existing bore is drilled at 2-3/8 inches you need to order that latch along with the lock. Door thickness range is 1-3/8 to 2 inches, which covers standard 1-3/4 inch commercial doors and older 1-3/8 inch interior doors.
2) How does a classroom function lever actually work day to day?
Classroom function means the outside lever is locked and unlocked only by key from the outside; there is no inside button or thumbturn. The inside lever always retracts the latch for free egress. On the Deltana CL509FLC that key control runs through a single cylinder on the outside.
3) Can this Deltana classroom lock be keyed into our existing Schlage C system?
The CL509FLC uses a Schlage C type keyway, so it drops into a building already keyed on Schlage C. Keying is selectable at order time as keyed different or keyed alike, and you can also submit a key code to have it cut to your existing system.
4) Will the CL509FLC latch into the strike prep already in my frame?
It comes with an ANSI strike, 4-7/8 by 1-1/4 inch lip-to-center. If your frame is already cut for a standard ANSI 4-7/8 inch strike, which most hollow metal commercial frames are, it drops in with no frame work. A frame prepped only for a small 2-3/4 inch T-strike would need modification.
5) What is the closest Grade 1 classroom lever equivalent to the Deltana CL509FLC?
The Dexter C1000 Series classroom cylindrical lever lock is the nearest match: it is also a Grade 1 keyed classroom-function cylindrical leverset. The Dexter unit is clutching and lists a door thickness range of 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, while the Deltana CL509FLC covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors and uses a Schlage C keyway with a 2-3/4 inch backset.
6) Is there a lighter-duty classroom lever if Grade 1 is not required?
Yes. The Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever is a Grade 2 lockset with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different and a 2-3/4 inch backset, so it shares the keyway and backset of the Deltana CL509FLC while sitting at Grade 2 instead of Grade 1.
7) Do I have to specify handing when ordering the Clarendon CL509FLC lever?
No handing to specify. The CL509FLC is universal, so the same lock works on a left or right hand door and you can stock one part for a whole building.
8) Is this lever heavy duty enough for a school corridor or other high traffic opening?
Grade 1 is the top ANSI/BHMA commercial durability tier, and the CL509FLC is built as a commercial Grade 1 cylindrical lock with steel and zinc construction. It also uses fixed through-bolts, which keeps the roses clamped through the door instead of relying on screws into the chassis alone, a common failure point on abused openings.
9) What are my other options if I need a Grade 1 classroom lever and the Deltana Clarendon is not the right look?
The Dexter C1000 Series classroom lever is the closest equivalent, also Grade 1 classroom function with a clutching lever, rated for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. If you need the key to also lock the inside lever for lockdown, the Dexter C1000 Classroom Security version covers that. On a lighter duty budget opening, the Cal-Royal AG03 is a Grade 2 classroom lever on a 2-3/4 inch backset with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway, which keys into the same system as the Deltana.
10) Is this a tubular or a mortise lock, and what prep does the door need?
The CL509FLC is a cylindrical, tubular chassis lockset, so it mounts in a standard bored door prep rather than a mortise pocket. If your doors are prepped for a mortise lock body, this is the wrong type and you want a mortise lockset instead.
11) Is a cylinder included with the CL509FLC or do I supply my own?
The cylinder is included. It is a single cylinder keyed lock in Schlage C keyway, supplied with the lockset, so there is nothing extra to buy unless you need the 2-3/8 inch backset latch.
12) What should I use on a storeroom or utility door instead of the CL509FLC classroom lever?
For a storeroom opening where the lever is always locked outside, the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom leverset with a deadlocking latchbolt for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Deltana CL509FLC is a classroom function, which unlocks and relocks by key.
13) Can I use a passage lever instead of the Deltana CL509FLC on a corridor door?
Only where no locking is needed. The Deltana CL509FLC is keyed with a single cylinder in classroom function. Non-keyed Grade 1 passage options include the Falcon K101, a heavy duty fire-rated passage cylindrical lock for 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 vandal resistant passage lever for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors.
14) Is a Grade 1 entrance or office lever a substitute for a classroom lever?
They are different functions. The Deltana CL509FLC is classroom function, keyed outside with a single cylinder. Entrance and office style peers include the Falcon B511CP6D, a Grade 2 medium duty entry/office cylindrical lever, the Hager 2525 Grade 2 commercial entry lock for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal AUS00 Grade 3 entrance/office lever. Entrance/office functions typically allow the outside lever to be locked from inside, which classroom function does not.
15) Which classroom-alternative lever works on an institutional door that needs a key on both sides?
For that, an asylum or institution function is the match: the Dexter C1000 Series asylum (F87) lock is Grade 1 for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Arrow MK33-BD-CS is a heavy duty asylum/institution/utility cylindrical lock with a ball knob and a conventional Schlage C keyway cylinder. The Deltana CL509FLC is a classroom function with a single cylinder on the outside only.
16) Will a Kwikset or Baldwin lever set work as a commercial classroom replacement?
They serve different openings. The Deltana CL509FLC is a commercial Grade 1 keyed classroom leverset. The Kwikset 200BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 passage lever for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors and the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 privacy lever; Baldwin Estate 5103 comes in passage, privacy and half dummy versions. None of those are keyed classroom function.
17) Which classroom-family lever fits a thicker 2 inch door?
The Deltana CL509FLC covers 1-3/8 inch through 2 inch door thickness, which spans most hollow metal and wood commercial doors. If you are comparing, the Dexter C1000 classroom lever lists 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, while the Dexter C1000 asylum version lists 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch.
18) I need an electrified lever for access control on a classroom door. What replaces the CL509FLC?
The Deltana CL509FLC is a mechanical keyed classroom lever with no electrical provision. For access control, the Corbin Russwin CL33903 is a Grade 1 fail safe electrified cylindrical lever lock in 12VAC/DC for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, offered with an NZ lever and D rose.
19) What finishes does the Deltana Clarendon classroom lever come in?
Three: Oil Rubbed Bronze, Brushed Chrome, and Polished Brass. If you are matching an existing corridor of satin chrome hardware, Brushed Chrome is the one to pull; Oil Rubbed Bronze is the match for darker bronze trim packages.
20) Is there a keyless option instead of a keyed classroom lever?
If you want to drop keys entirely, the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock is ADA compliant in passage function for 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch doors, the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set for 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock. The Deltana CL509FLC is keyed on a Schlage C keyway instead, which lets it join an existing key system.
21) Can I match a dummy lever to the Deltana CL509FLC on a paired door?
The CL509FLC is a keyed classroom Clarendon leverset, not a trim-only unit. Where an inactive leaf needs matching pull trim, Grade 1 options include the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim cylindrical lever and the Accentra 455LN Augusta heavy duty Grade 1 single dummy from the 5400 Series; the BEST 7KC Series 1DT is the Grade 2 medium duty counterpart. Lever styles differ from the Clarendon design.
