Dexter C2000-CL-ENTR-R-626-KDC – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Dexter C2000 entry lever fit a 1-3/8 inch door, or is it 1-3/4 only?
Both. The C2000 cylindrical lockset covers a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door range as standard, so the same part goes on older interior doors and on standard commercial 1-3/4 inch doors without ordering a different thickness option.
2) What backset does the Dexter C2000 lever lock use, and can it go into an existing 2-3/8 inch prep?
2-3/8 inch backset is what the C2000 entry lever is specified at, which is the shallower of the two standard cylindrical backsets. If the door in front of you is prepped at 2-3/4 inch, the hole centers will not line up and you need the 2-3/4 inch latch instead. Check the existing latch face on the edge of the door before you order.
3) Does the Dexter C2000 lever need a handed order, or will one lock work on both left and right doors?
Non-handed. One C2000 lever lock covers left hand, right hand, and reverse bevel openings, so a property manager stocking spares only needs one part number for the whole building rather than a left and a right.
4) What door prep does the Dexter C2000 cylindrical lock need drilled?
Standard cylindrical prep: 2-1/8 inch cross bore through the face of the door and a 1 inch bore in the edge for the latch. The latch faceplate is 1 inch by 2-1/4 inch. That is the same prep most existing cylindrical knob and lever locks sit in, so on a retrofit you are usually mortising the faceplate and nothing else.
5) Is the Dexter C2000 lever lock rated for a fire door?
The C2000 series is UL listed 3 hour, so it can go on a rated opening within that limit. It is a Grade 2 lockset, which is the standard commercial duty level below Grade 1 heavy duty.
6) What does Entry/Office function mean on the Dexter C2000, and is it the right function for a tenant suite door?
Entry/Office is ANSI F109. The outside lever is locked or unlocked by key, and the inside lever always retracts the latch for free egress. That suits a tenant suite or office door someone unlocks in the morning and locks at night. If you want a door that can only be locked and unlocked from outside with no inside button, a storeroom function is the one to spec instead.
7) Will the Dexter C2000 latch into my existing strike, or do I need to change the frame prep?
Bolt projection is 1/2 inch and the lock ships with an ANSI curved lip strike measuring 4-7/8 inch by 1-1/4 inch. If your frame already has the full ANSI 4-7/8 inch strike cutout, the supplied strike drops straight in. If the frame carries a small 1-1/4 inch by 2-1/4 inch T-strike, the ANSI strike will not fit that pocket without cutting the frame.
8) What keyway is the Dexter C2000 cylinder, and can I key it into my existing Schlage C system?
Schlage C keyway, 6-pin conventional cylinder, supplied keyed different with two cut keys. That is the same keyway family most commercial buildings already run, so a locksmith can rekey these into an existing C-keyway master system. The C2000 also accommodates SFIC in 6-pin or 7-pin if you are standardizing a facility on interchangeable cores.
9) Is the Dexter C2000 lever a deadlatch, and does that matter on an exterior door?
Standard latch is a deadlatch, the C2000-DL-234-630, with a square-corner beveled face. The deadlatch plunger sits against the strike lip and blocks the latchbolt from being carded or shimmed, which is what you want on any door reachable from outside. Plain spring latches do not do that.
10) What comes in the box with the Dexter C2000 lever lock, and what else do I need to buy to finish the install?
One complete lockset per box: both levers, the deadlatch, the ANSI curved lip strike, two cut keys, and wood/machine screws. Nothing else is required for a standard cylindrical opening. You would only be buying separately if the frame needs a different strike or you are converting the lock to small format interchangeable core.
11) Is the clutching lever on the Dexter C2000 worth it over a standard lever on a high-traffic door?
Clutching means the outside lever spins free when the lock is secured instead of driving the internal works. Someone yanking a locked lever in a school corridor or an apartment lobby transfers that force to nothing, so the spindle and retractor do not take the abuse. On a low-use interior office door it matters far less. The lever itself is a straight return design on a 3 inch round rose.
12) What finishes does the Dexter C2000 entry lever come in?
Two: 626 satin chrome and 613 oil-rubbed bronze. Satin chrome is the usual match for commercial buildings already running brushed hardware; oil-rubbed bronze suits multi-family and hospitality where the rest of the trim is dark.
13) Can I use the Dexter C2000 lever to meet ADA lever-handle requirements on an office door?
The C2000 uses a lever rather than a knob, and a straight return lever operates with a closed fist and no tight grasping or twisting, which is what accessible hardware calls for. It is a commercial-duty Grade 2 set. Confirm your local operating force and mounting height requirements against the opening itself.
