Deltana ZLLS3 Livingston Passage Lever, Zinc

No handing to specify. The Livingston passage lever is universal handing, so one part covers both left and right hand doors. That is useful if you are buying for a building and do not want to count swings door by door. Compare that to something like the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy, where left hand and right hand are separate part numbers.

It only latches. Passage/hall/closet function means both levers always retract the latch, with no key and no thumbturn. Use it on hallways, closets, and pantry doors. If you need the bathroom or bedroom to lock, you want a privacy lever such as the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy, and for a keyed opening a lever like the Hager 2525 entry.

It is a residential-duty lever, zinc bodied, from Deltana's Elite Collection. Fine for a homeowner or a single-family rental hallway. For apartment corridors, offices, schools, or anything on a fire door, go to a graded commercial passage lever: the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is Grade 1 and fire rated, the Falcon K101 is Grade 1 heavy duty and fire rated, and the Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 option.

Yes, if the existing prep is a standard bored (cylindrical) prep at a 2-3/8 inch backset on a 1-3/8 inch door. The Livingston is a bored lockset, so it goes through the same cross bore and edge bore as the knob or lever you are pulling off. If your doors are drilled at a 2-3/4 inch backset, this is the wrong part for them.

The Deltana ZLLS3 Livingston is a passage/hall/closet lever in zinc, built for residential use. If the opening needs a graded commercial lever in the same non-keyed passage function, the Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 cylindrical passage lever, and the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lock with non-handed levers and a fire rating, covering doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick. Both latch and operate the same way the Livingston does - lever both sides, always unlocked - so the swap is a function-for-function match with a heavier chassis behind it.

The Livingston ZLLS3 is passage function, meaning it latches but never locks, so it is wrong for a bedroom or bath. For a privacy lever in the same residential class, the Baldwin Estate 5103 is offered in a privacy version with the 5048 rose, and the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 privacy lever set for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch. For a commercial privacy application, the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 cylindrical privacy lock with the Withnell lever, for doors 1-3/8 to 2 inch.

The Livingston ZLLS3 Elite lever is specified for a 1-3/8 inch door with a 2-3/8 inch backset. For a thicker door in the same passage function, the Arrow GL01 Sierra passage lever covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, the Design Hardware J75 flat-lever passage lockset is built for 1-3/4 inch, and the Hager 2510 Withnell passage lever spans 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, so it takes both the thin and the thick door if you are buying for a mix of openings.

No. The Livingston ZLLS3 is a passage lever, so it carries a working latch that retracts when the lever turns. A dummy is a fixed pull with no latch and no mechanism - the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy comes handed left or right, the Emtek Arts and Crafts and Helios dummies ship as pairs, and the BEST 7KC single dummy trim is the non-keyed trim only. Use a dummy on an inactive leaf or a closet door held by a ball catch; use the ZLLS3 where the door has to latch.

The Livingston ZLLS3 is non-keyed passage function, so it has no cylinder. For a keyed opening, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle for doors 1-3/8 to 2 inch, the Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 medium duty entry/office lever, and the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever is Grade 2 with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different and a 2-3/8 inch backset, which matches the backset the Livingston uses if you are keeping the existing bore and strike.

The Livingston ZLLS3 is a residential passage lever. For facility-wide standardizing where a graded chassis and fire-rated openings are in play, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 passage lock, fire rated, non-handed, covering 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch doors; the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever, fire rated, for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors; and the Design Hardware X75 is a Grade 1 passage lockset with a flat lever for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Falcon T101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever with pressure release technology if the corridor sees hard use.

The Livingston ZLLS3 is passage only, so it cannot secure a storeroom or classroom. 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, the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom lock with the Withnell lever for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, and the Dexter C1000 classroom lever is Grade 1 with a clutching keyed chassis for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. Dexter also offers a C1000 classroom security version in the same range for rooms that must be lockable from inside.

Priced and sold each, and one unit is the complete passage set for a door, levers on both sides. So order one per opening, not two. That differs from the dummy pairs in the market, like the Emtek Athena dummy, which are sold as a pair because they are trim only with no latch.

It is a lever handle, not a knob, so it operates with a closed fist, forearm, or elbow. That is the usual reason people swap a hall or closet knob for a lever. Keep in mind it is a residential-grade zinc lever on a 1-3/8 inch door, so if the change is being made for an accessible route in a commercial or public building, spec a graded commercial lever instead.

The Livingston ZLLS3 is a zinc Elite Collection passage lever offered in oil rubbed bronze, brushed nickel, polished chrome, and polished brass. If a different trim shape suits the room better, the Bravura Atlanta and Orlando passage leversets are Grade 2 with round trim, the Bravura Tampa is Grade 2 with square trim, and the Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever uses the 5048 rose. All are passage function, so they hang on the same kind of hall, closet, and pantry doors.

For a plainer residential passage lever in the same non-keyed function, the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 passage lever set for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch, the Kwikset 200DL Delta passage lever is reversible and ships with an adjustable 6AL latch and RCS strike, and the Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel. All three do what the Livingston ZLLS3 does on a hall or closet door - latch without locking - in a simpler trim.

Only if you want coded access rather than free passage. The Livingston ZLLS3 is a mechanical passage lever with no code and no key. The Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function and ADA compliance for doors 1-3/16 to 2 inch, the Lockey 2835DC adds a double combination in the same thickness range, and the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination and passage function for 1-1/8 to 2 inch doors. These control who gets through; the ZLLS3 does not.

No - the Livingston ZLLS3 is universal handing, so one part covers a left or right hand door. Among the alternatives, the Falcon K101 passage lock also uses non-handed levers and the Falcon B101 is a non-handed Grade 2 cylindrical passage lever, so neither needs a hand called out on the order. Handing does matter on some trim: the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy is sold as a distinct left hand and right hand part.

Both are passage/hall/closet levers, so they operate the same way on the door. The Livingston ZLLS3 is a zinc Elite Collection residential lever with universal handing, a 2-3/8 inch backset, and a 1-3/8 inch door thickness. The Accentra 4601LN is a Grade 2 passage cylindrical lever lock from the 4600 Series with Augusta trim, and Accentra also builds the 5301LN Augusta passage lever in the 5300 Series at Grade 2. The Accentra parts are graded commercial cylindrical chassis; the Livingston is a residential decorative lever.
