Deltana CL700EL Commercial Entry Light Duty Grade 2, Straight Lever

It is a 2-3/4 inch backset lock and ships with a commercial T-strike sized for 2-3/4. If your existing door is bored on a 2-3/8 inch backset, the CL700EL will not line up. The Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever is a 2-3/8 inch backset option.

Yes. The CL700EL uses a Schlage C keyway, which is the most common commercial keyway, so a locksmith can key it into an existing Schlage C system. It is a single cylinder entry function, keyed outside with a free-turning lever inside.

The Hager 2525 is the nearest straight equivalent: a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle, and it carries a published door thickness range of 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The CL700EL is a Grade 2 keyed entry cylindrical leverset with a Schlage C keyway, 2-3/4 inch backset and 1-3/8 inch door thickness. Both are lever-operated cylindrical entry locks; the Hager range covers thicker doors while the Deltana is set up for 1-3/8 inch.

The CL700EL uses a Schlage C keyway. Among comparable cylindrical locks, the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever and Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever are both 6-pin Schlage C keyway, keyed different, and the Arrow MK33-BD-CS asylum lock uses a conventional cylinder in Schlage C keyway with a ball knob rather than a lever. For Yale and Accentra hardware, the Accentra 107S is a Schlage cylinder adapter kit.

No. The CL700EL is a Grade 2 light duty commercial entry leverset. Where a Grade 1 fire rated cylindrical lock is required, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lock with a fire rating and a 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant fire rated passage/closet lever for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. Both of those are passage function, so for a keyed Grade 1 opening you would look at the Dexter C1000 classroom or classroom security levers, which cover 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.

The CL700EL is a light duty Grade 2 commercial cylindrical lockset in zinc and steel. That suits apartment unit doors, offices and light traffic tenant entries. For a high traffic main entrance or an institutional corridor, step up to a Grade 1 cylindrical lock such as the Falcon T101 or Corbin Russwin CL3100 series.

No handing to specify on the CL700EL. It is a tubular cylindrical leverset with a straight lever, and finish is the only choice: Oil Rubbed Bronze or Brushed Chrome.

The latch on the CL700EL is UL Listed with a 1/2 inch throw. That 1/2 inch throw is what it latches into the supplied 2-3/4 commercial T-strike, so verify your existing strike pocket accepts a 1/2 inch latch if you are reusing the frame hardware.

A cylindrical (tubular) lockset like the CL700EL installs into a standard bored door, two holes and an edge prep, which makes it the fast, low cost choice for apartment and office entries. A mortise lock requires a pocket cut into the door edge and is what you go to for heavy traffic or higher security openings. For keyless control on the same kind of bored prep, a mechanical keypad lever such as the Lockey 2835 is an alternative.

The CL700EL is keyed with a single cylinder entry function, so for a non-keyed opening choose a passage or privacy lock instead. Grade 2 passage options include the Hager 2510 cylindrical lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, the Falcon B101 non-handed Grade 2 passage lever, and the Accentra 5301LN Augusta Grade 2 passage/closet lever. For a bath or bedroom, the Hager 2540 Grade 2 privacy lock with Withnell lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.

Yes. The CL700EL is a Grade 2 light duty commercial entry leverset. For a step up, the Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical lever with entry/office function, and for Grade 1 the Corbin Russwin CL33903 is a Grade 1 cylindrical lever in the CL33900 series for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, though that one is electrified at 12VAC/DC rather than purely mechanical.

The CL700EL is a Grade 2 commercial keyed entry leverset. Where a lighter product suits the opening, the Cal-Royal AUS00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office lever with a solid brass forged body for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Callan Artino CLN-360201 is a Grade 3 entrance leverset, and the Master Lock RL Series RL01 is a Grade 3 return-style keyed entry lockset.

Only if the function change is what you want. The CL700EL is an entry function, meaning the outside lever can be locked and unlocked by key or button. A storeroom lever keeps the outside lever locked at all times - the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lockset with a deadlocking latchbolt for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom lock with Withnell lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Classroom function is different again: the Cal-Royal AG03 is a Grade 2 classroom lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway and 2-3/4 inch backset, matching the CL700EL backset and keyway.

Dummy levers. They share the lever appearance but have no latch and no cylinder, so they cannot replace the CL700EL keyed entry function. Examples are the Accentra 455LN Augusta Grade 1 single dummy, the BEST 7KC single dummy trim Grade 2 lever, the BEST 9K 1DT Grade 1 single dummy trim, the Callan Bentley Grade 2 dummy lever, and the Emtek Arts and Crafts dummy pair. Order these only for inactive leaves or closet fronts.

Yes, if you want to stop issuing keys. The CL700EL is a keyed single cylinder entry lever. Keyless lever options include the Delaney LP250 Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock, the Lockey 2835 mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function and ADA compliance for 1-3/16 inch to 2 inch doors, the Lockey 2835DC double combination version, and the Lockey 1150 heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set for 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Lockey units are mechanical combination rather than key cylinder, so they will not join a Schlage C master key system.

The CL700EL is a single cylinder entry leverset on its own, with no deadbolt included. If you want both in one order, the Callan Bennett CLN-BN3001R is a Grade 3 entrance leverset supplied as a deadbolt combo.

Yes. It mounts with removable through-bolts, so all fasteners land on the interior rose and the outside trim stays clean. Through-bolting also means the lever can be pulled and reinstalled without re-drilling the door.

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 is the dark option and will darken further with handling, which is worth knowing before mixing it with existing bronze doors.

Both are cylindrical entrance locks. The CL700EL uses a straight lever, which is the trim type generally chosen for ADA-conscious commercial openings, and is a Grade 2 keyed single cylinder entry. The Arrow HK11-BB is an entrance cylindrical lock with a ball knob and conventional cylinder, turn-pushbutton operation, listed Grade 2 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The functional difference is the trim: knob versus lever.
