Deltana CL609EVC Commercial Classroom Standard Grade 2, Curved Lever with Cylinder

Yes. The CL609EVC covers door thicknesses from 1-3/8 inches up to 2 inches, so it handles both older 1-3/8 inch interior doors and standard 1-3/4 inch commercial doors without an extra kit.

As supplied, the CL609EVC is a 2-3/4 inch backset lock. The 2-3/8 inch latch is sold separately, so if your doors are bored at 2-3/8 you need to order that part along with the lockset.

It ships with an ANSI standard 4-7/8 x 1-1/4 inch strike and the latch has a 1/2 inch throw. If your frame is prepped for the ANSI 4-7/8 strike, it drops straight in. Frames cut for a smaller T-strike or round-corner residential strike will need the ANSI prep or a filler.

No handing to specify. The CL609EVC curved lever is universal, so one part number works on left or right hand doors and you can stock a single SKU across a building.

Yes. The CL609EVC uses a Schlage C keyway cylinder, so a locksmith can key it to an existing SC1/C system rather than running a separate key for the classroom doors. It is a single cylinder keyed lock, keyed on the outside lever only.

The Cal-Royal AG03 is the nearest match: it is a Grade 2 classroom lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different and a 2-3/4 inch backset, which lines up with the CL609EVC's Grade 2 classroom function, Schlage C type keyway and 2-3/4 inch backset. Both are cylindrical lever locks intended for commercial openings.

The Dexter C1000 Series classroom lock is a Grade 1 cylindrical lever with a clutching lever and a keyed classroom function, for door thicknesses 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch. The Deltana CL609EVC is a Grade 2 classroom lever for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, so the Deltana covers slightly thicker doors while the Dexter carries the higher ANSI grade.

A storeroom function fits better there, since the outside lever stays locked at all times. The Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever lockset with a deadlocking latchbolt for 1-3/8 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 to 2 inch doors. The Deltana CL609EVC is classroom function.

Classroom function means the outside lever is locked and unlocked by key only. There is no thumbturn or pushbutton inside, so the door cannot be left locked by a student, and the inside lever always retracts the latch for free egress. The CL609EVC is built for that function.

The CL609EVC is a commercial Grade 2 cylindrical (tubular) lockset with a steel and zinc build, which is the normal choice for institutional and commercial interior doors at moderate traffic. For high-abuse openings or main entries, step up to a Grade 1 classroom lock such as the Dexter C1000 Series classroom lever.

The latch is UL Listed with a 1/2 inch throw. That is the only listing stated for the CL609EVC, so treat any fire door requirement as needing confirmation against the specific opening's label requirements.

For passage openings you want a non-keyed lever rather than a classroom lock. Grade 2 passage options include the Hager 2510, which fits 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors like the CL609EVC does, and the Falcon B101 non-handed passage lever. Trim styling will not match the Deltana curved lever exactly, so keep the aesthetic in mind if the doors are in the same corridor.

Grade 2 passage levers cover that. The Hager 2510 is a Grade 2 passage cylindrical lever for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 medium duty passage lever with a non-handed design, and the Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 passage/closet cylindrical lever. All are non-keyed, where the CL609EVC is keyed with a single cylinder.

They are not interchangeable by function. The AG00 is an entrance lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different and a 2-3/8 inch backset for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. The CL609EVC is a classroom function supplied at 2-3/4 inch backset, with 2-3/8 inch sold separately, for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. They share the Schlage C keyway, so they can key alike, but an entrance lever has inside locking rather than key-only outside control.

No adapter is involved - the CL609EVC uses a Schlage C type keyway with a single cylinder as supplied. The Accentra 107S Schlage cylinder adapter kit exists for adapting Yale hardware to a Schlage cylinder, which is a different situation entirely.

Mechanical keypad leversets are the alternative. The Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination, passage function, for 1-1/8 to 2 inch doors, and the Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function and ADA compliance for 1-3/16 to 2 inch doors. The Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock. The CL609EVC is key operated with a Schlage C type keyway.

Yes. The Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, and the Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical lever with entry/office function. Both let the occupant lock from inside, unlike the classroom function on the CL609EVC, which is controlled by key from outside.

Asylum function locks fit that opening. The Arrow MK33-BD-CS is a Grade 2 asylum/institution/utility cylindrical lock with a ball knob and a conventional cylinder in Schlage C keyway, heavy duty, and the Dexter C1000 asylum F87 is a Grade 1 cylindrical lock for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. The CL609EVC is a classroom function lever.

Two finishes: oil rubbed bronze and brushed chrome. Brushed chrome reads closest to the satin chrome and satin nickel trim common in commercial corridors; oil rubbed bronze suits darker hospitality and multi-family packages.

Yes, the CL609EVC uses removable through-bolts. That matters for service work: you can pull and reinstall the lock on the door without replacing mounting hardware, which is useful when you are swapping cylinders or rekeying a fleet of classroom doors.

Not for a keyed classroom opening. The Baldwin Estate 5103 with 5048 rose is offered in passage, privacy and half dummy functions, and the Emtek Cortina lever is a dummy pair. None of those are keyed. The Deltana CL609EVC is a commercial Grade 2 keyed classroom cylindrical lever with a Schlage C type keyway.

They serve different traffic. The Kwikset 200BRNL RDT Breton is a Grade 3 passage lever for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Master Lock RL Series is a Grade 3 keyed entry lever. The Deltana CL609EVC is a commercial Grade 2 classroom lever in steel and zinc with removable through-bolts and an ANSI 4-7/8 by 1-1/4 inch strike.
