Design Hardware DH-J-75-F-26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Design Hardware J75 passage lever fit a 1-3/8 inch door, or only 1-3/4?
The J75 leaves the factory set for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the chassis adjusts to cover anything from 1-3/8 inch up to 2 inches thick. So older 1-3/8 inch interior doors and thicker 2 inch commercial slabs are both handled without a different part number.
2) Do I have to order the J75 lever handed left or right?
No. The J75 with the flat lever is non-handed and completely reversible, so one lockset covers either swing. Handing only becomes a factor if you move to the S-A or S-B lever styles, which are handed.
3) What backset and latchface does the J75 come with, and can I get 2-3/8?
Standard is a 2-3/4 inch backset with a 1-1/8 x 2-1/4 inch latchface. A 2-3/8 inch backset version is available and comes with a 1 x 2-1/4 inch latchface. Both latches have a self-adjusting front, so they work on square edge or beveled edge doors without swapping parts.
4) Will the J75 drop into my existing cylindrical lock prep?
If the door is prepped to ANSI A115.2, yes. The J75 uses a 2-1/8 inch crossbore with two 3/8 inch thru-bolt holes, which is the standard commercial bored prep. The frame side takes a 4-7/8 x 1-1/4 inch ASA strike with square corners, so if that is what is already mortised into your frame you are set.
5) Can the J75 go on a labeled fire door?
Yes. The J75 is UL Listed for A Label 3 hour fire doors, meets ANSI A156.2 Grade 2, and the lever trim meets ADA and ANSI A117.1 accessibility requirements. That combination covers most corridor and stairwell openings in a commercial building.
6) Is the J75 keyed, or does it just latch the door?
Passage function only, non-keyed. The lever retracts the latch from both sides at all times and there is no cylinder, no button, no privacy turn. Use it on hall, closet and corridor doors. If you need the door to lock, look at a keyed or privacy function in the same family instead.
7) What is a direct equivalent to the Design Hardware J75 passage lever from another commercial brand?
The J75 is a non-keyed Grade 2 cylindrical passage leverset for commercial openings. Closest like-for-like options are the Falcon B101 Grade 2 cylindrical passage lever, the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage cylindrical lever with Withnell design, and the Arrow GL01 Grade 2 passage cylindrical lock with Sierra lever. Accentra also offers two Grade 2 passage levers with Augusta trim, the 5301LN and the 4601LN, so you can match an existing Accentra fleet.
8) If a Grade 2 passage lever is not heavy enough for a high-traffic corridor, what steps up?
The J75 is built to ANSI A156.2 Grade 2. For openings that call for Grade 1, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy-duty passage cylindrical lock with non-handed levers and a fire rating, the Falcon T101 is a Grade 1 heavy-duty passage lever with pressure release technology, the Dexter C1000 is a Grade 1 clutching passage lever, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage/closet lever. All four keep the same non-keyed passage function.
9) The J75 is factory set for 1-3/4 inch doors. What passage lever fits a thicker or thinner door out of the box?
The J75 lists a 1-3/4 inch door thickness. If you need a stated range instead, the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch, the Dexter C1000 passage lever covers 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock covers 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 covers 1-3/4 to 2 inch.
10) I need to lock the door, not just latch it. What replaces the J75 where a key is required?
The J75 is non-keyed passage, so it never locks. For a keyed opening in Grade 2, the Hager 2580 is a storeroom cylindrical lock with Withnell lever, the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with deadlocking latchbolt, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial entry lever, and the Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 entry/office lever. For a classroom opening, the Cal-Royal AG03 is a classroom lever in the AG series.
11) What should I use instead of a J75 on a restroom or bedroom door?
The J75 has no locking function at all, so it is wrong for a privacy opening. Use the Hager 2540 Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with Withnell lever, the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with 5048 rose, or, if a knob suits, the Arrow MK02-TA privacy cylindrical lock with Tudor knob.
12) Do I need thru-bolts to install the J75 on a hollow metal door?
Thru-bolts ship with it but they are removable, so the lock can be installed with or without them. Fasteners are combination screws that suit wood or metal doors and frames, so one carton covers a mixed building.
13) My levers keep sagging on high traffic doors. Does the J75 address that?
That is what the anti-sag mechanism is for. The J75 uses independent lever return springs so each lever returns on its own rather than relying on the chassis spring, which is the usual failure point on sagging levers. The chassis itself is steel, zinc dichromated for corrosion resistance, and the levers are solid zinc diecast on 3-3/8 inch wrought brass roses.
14) What is the latchbolt projection on the J75, and will it hold in my strike?
Stainless steel latchbolt with 1/2 inch projection, which is the normal throw for a cylindrical lockset and matches a standard 4-7/8 inch ASA strike pocket. Deadlocking is present on keyed functions and the exit latch; on the J75 passage function the latch simply retracts with the lever from either side.
15) What else could I use instead of the Design Hardware J75 for a commercial passage door?
Staying at Grade 2, close equivalents include the Falcon B101 cylindrical passage lever, the Hager 2510 with the Withnell lever (1-3/8 to 2 inch doors), the Arrow GL01 with the Sierra lever, and the Accentra 5301LN Augusta. If the opening is high abuse and you want to step up to Grade 1, the Falcon K101 (1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch doors) or the Corbin Russwin CL3110 vandal resistant passage lever are the heavier options.
16) Is the J75 good enough for an apartment building or should I buy residential grade?
The J75 is a commercial Grade 2 lockset, a step above the Grade 3 residential levers like the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton or the Callan Asheville. For unit interior doors and common area closets in multi-family, Grade 2 with a steel chassis and ADA compliant lever is the level most property managers standardize on, and it lets you keep one lever look across every door in the building.
17) Is a dummy lever the same thing as the J75 passage lever?
No. The J75 is a working passage latch with a deadlocking-capable latch chassis that retracts when the lever is turned. A dummy trim is fixed and has no latch at all, used on inactive leaves and closet pairs. Dummy options include the BEST 7KC Series single dummy trim cylindrical lever in Grade 2, the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy in Grade 1 heavy duty, the Accentra 455LN Augusta Grade 1 single dummy, and the Callan Bentley Grade 2 dummy lever.
18) For a light-duty interior opening in an apartment, is there a simpler passage lever than the J75?
The J75 is a commercial Grade 2 set. Where the opening only calls for residential-duty hardware, the Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel, the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 passage lever set for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Kwikset 200DL Delta passage lever is reversible with an adjustable 6AL latch and RCS strike.
19) Which passage lever alternatives give me a decorative or residential-style trim rather than the J75 flat lever?
The J75 uses a 5 inch flat zinc diecast lever on a 3-3/8 inch wrought brass rose. If the opening calls for a decorative look, the Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever with 5048 rose is an option, as are the Bravura Grade 2 passage leversets: Atlanta and Orlando with round trim, Tampa with square trim, and Miramar with round trim in US4 satin brass.
20) What do I use instead of the J75 if the door needs keyless code entry rather than free passage?
The J75 has no credential of any kind. For code entry on a lever, the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination in passage function fitting 1-1/8 to 2 inch doors, the Lockey 1150S adds an adjustable backset over the same thickness range, the Lockey 2835DC is a double combination mechanical keyless lever lock with passage function for 1-3/16 to 2 inch doors, and the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock.
21) The J75 comes with a 2-3/4 inch backset. What passage lever suits a door already bored at 2-3/8?
The J75 is supplied with a 2-3/4 inch backset as standard, with a 2-3/8 inch backset available. If you prefer a set with an adjustable backset built in, the Lockey 1150S mechanical keypad lever set is specified with an adjustable backset. The Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever is catalogued at a 2-3/8 inch backset if the opening also needs keying.
22) Will the J75 work on an institutional door that needs to be operated from both sides at all times but with heavier abuse resistance?
The J75 is a Grade 2 passage set that is always free from both sides. Where the same always-open behavior is needed under harder use, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage/closet lever that is fire rated, and the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 fire rated passage lock with non-handed levers. If the opening actually needs an asylum or utility function instead, the Dexter C1000 asylum lever and the Arrow MK33-BD-CS Grade 2 asylum cylindrical lock cover that.
23) Which finishes does the J75 flat lever come in?
Two stocked finishes on the flat lever: 626 satin chrome (US26D) and 613 dark bronze (US10B). Design Hardware also lists US3 PVD, US4, US15 and US26 PVD as special order finishes on the J Series, with the PVD options being lifetime finishes.
24) Can I get the J75 in a different lever shape to match other doors?
The flat lever is the stocked design on the J Series. Curved, half curved, S-A and S-B lever styles are also offered in the series. Keep in mind the S-A and S-B are handed, so you have to specify the swing on those two; the flat lever is not.
