Deltana CL515EVC Commercial Dummy Standard Grade 2, Clarendon Lever

No. The CL515EVC is a dummy function lever, so there is no latch and no moving mechanism. The lever is fixed and the trim mounts to the door face as a pull only. Use it on inactive leaves of a pair, closet doors, or wherever you want the look of the working Clarendon lever without any latching. If the door needs to stay shut, you need a passage or privacy lockset instead.

It's sold by the each, so one dummy lever per unit. For a double door where you want a fixed lever on both faces of the inactive leaf, order two. If you'd rather buy it as a set, Emtek's Arts & Crafts and Cortina dummy leversets are catalogued as pairs.

Step up to a Grade 1 dummy. The BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim lever is Grade 1, non-keyed, heavy duty, and the Accentra 455LN Augusta in the 5400 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy cylindrical lever. Both perform the same pull-only function as the Grade 2 Deltana CL515EVC but carry the higher ANSI/BHMA grade an institutional spec often requires.

A dummy such as the CL515EVC has no latch at all, so for a door that must latch closed choose a passage lever instead. Grade 2 options include the Accentra 5301LN Augusta and 4601LN, the Arrow GL01 Sierra lever for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, the Falcon B101 non-handed passage lever, and the Hager 2510 Withnell passage lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. All are non-keyed like the Clarendon dummy but include a latchbolt.

The BEST 7KC Series 1DT single dummy trim cylindrical lever is the nearest match on paper: it is a Grade 2 non-keyed dummy lever like the Deltana CL515EVC, rated medium duty. The Callan Bentley BN5051 is also a Grade 2 dummy lever. All three are pull-only trim with no latch, so any of them will fit an opening where the Clarendon was specified for appearance and grab rather than latching.

Non-keyed. There is no cylinder and no keyway in the CL515EVC, so it plays no part in a master key system. If you're standardizing a building on one keyway, this trim simply sits outside that plan.

Three: Oil Rubbed Bronze, Brushed Chrome, and Polished Brass. If you're matching other openings in a building, Oil Rubbed Bronze and Polished Brass are the usual matches to decorative trim, while Brushed Chrome reads closer to the satin chrome/nickel look used on commercial interiors.

The CL515EVC carries a Grade 2 commercial rating, which on a dummy is about the trim and lever strength rather than cycle testing of a latch. Practically, it tells a spec writer the lever matches the duty class of the Grade 2 working locks in the same Clarendon line, so a corridor can be trimmed out consistently.

The CL515EVC is a cylindrical bored lockset style trim, so it mounts in the standard bored prep used by cylindrical levers rather than needing a new pattern cut. Because it is a dummy with no latch, nothing goes into the edge bore or the strike, so an old latch hole in the door edge is simply left unused and the frame strike stays empty.

The Deltana CL515EVC Clarendon dummy is ordered by finish - Oil Rubbed Bronze, Brushed Chrome, or Polished Brass - not by hand. If you are cross-shopping, note that some dummy levers are handed: the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy is sold as a left hand version and a separate right hand version, so the hand of the door has to be confirmed before ordering those. Emtek's Arts & Crafts and Cortina dummies are sold as pairs rather than singles.

No - those are different functions and will not behave the same way. The CL515EVC is a non-keyed dummy with no locking action. A privacy set such as the Hager 2540 Withnell or the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever locks from the inside, and an entry function such as the Hager 2525 or Falcon B511CP6D entry/office lever is keyed for secured openings. Use those where the door must control access; use the Clarendon dummy only where a fixed pull is wanted.

They are not interchangeable. The CL515EVC is a complete zinc dummy leverset for a bored cylindrical prep. Items like the Corbin Russwin 585F715 lever are designed for an ED8000 pushpad exit device and CL3300 cylindrical locks, and the Imperial USA ED-EL500HD is escutcheon lever trim in the ED-500 Series with entry function - those mount to an exit device, not to a standard bored dummy prep.

Zinc, with steel components, per the material callout. Zinc trim takes plated and coated finishes well, which is how the oil rubbed bronze and polished brass versions are produced. For heavy abuse openings or exterior weather exposure, a brass or stainless trim is the tougher choice.

The CL515EVC is a commercial Grade 2 lever. For lighter residential work, Grade 3 passage levers include the Kwikset 200BRNL RDT Breton and the Callan Asheville AH5011. Those are latching passage sets rather than dummies, so if you specifically need pull-only trim, the Grade 2 Callan Bentley BN5051 dummy lever is the closer functional match.
