Dexter DEX-C2000-ENTR-LVR – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Grade 2 rating on this Dexter C2000 lever lock?
Grade 2 indicates medium-duty commercial use per ANSI A156.2 standards. This lock handles 400,000 cycles and meets most office, retail, and light commercial applications. It provides more durability than Grade 3 residential locks.
2) What does non-clutching mean for this cylindrical lever?
Non-clutching means the outside lever always operates the latch regardless of lock position. Both levers retract the latch at all times. This differs from clutching levers where the outside lever can be disabled when locked.
3) What door thickness works with this C2000 series lock?
Standard cylindrical levers typically fit 1-3/4" to 2-1/4" door thickness. Check the manufacturer template for exact specifications. Verify your door thickness before ordering to ensure proper fit and function.
4) How do I determine the correct handing for this lever?
Stand on the side where the door swings away from you. If hinges are on the right, order right-hand. If hinges are on the left, order left-hand. Most cylindrical levers are field-reversible during installation.
5) What backset does this Dexter lock require?
Standard backset is typically 2-3/8" or 2-3/4" from door edge to center of bore hole. Most cylindrical levers adjust for both backsets. Check your existing lock or measure carefully before installation.
6) Can this lock fit existing cylindrical lever prep?
Yes, this uses standard ANSI cylindrical prep with 2-1/8" bore hole and 1" edge bore. It should replace most existing cylindrical levers without additional door preparation. Verify hole sizes match your current hardware.
7) What finish options are available for the C2000 series?
Common finishes include satin chrome, bright brass, satin brass, and dark bronze. Check product specifications for available finishes. Choose finishes that match existing hardware for consistent appearance.
8) Does this lock meet fire door requirements?
Grade 2 locks can work on fire doors when properly listed. Check if this specific model has fire door listings. Consult local fire codes and AHJ requirements. Fire door applications need UL-listed hardware.
9) How do I install this cylindrical lever lock?
Remove old lock, insert latch assembly into edge bore, install both lever assemblies through face bores, secure with through-bolts. Follow manufacturer template for exact measurements. Use proper tools and check operation before final tightening.
10) What maintenance does this Dexter lock need?
Clean regularly with mild soap and water. Lubricate moving parts annually with graphite or manufacturer-recommended lubricant. Check lever tightness periodically. Avoid harsh chemicals that can damage finishes or internal components.
11) Can I rekey this lock to match existing keys?
Yes, most cylindrical levers accept standard keyway cylinders that can be rekeyed by locksmiths. Specify keyway type when ordering. Professional rekeying ensures proper operation and security. Multiple locks can be keyed alike or to master key systems.
12) What other Dexter locks are compatible with this series?
Other Dexter C2000 series locks use the same keyway and similar styling. You can create matching sets across different functions. Check our cylindrical levers section for compatible models and functions.
