Dexter C2000-PASS-R-626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Which backset do I order for the Dexter C2000 lever lock, 2-3/8 or 2-3/4?
Backset is a required choice at order time. The standard is the C2000-SL-234 springlatch at 2-3/4 inch backset; the C2000-SL springlatch gives you 2-3/8 inch instead. Measure from the door edge to the center of the bore hole on the door you are prepping and pick the one that matches. Those two are the usual commercial and residential backsets, so an existing prep will almost always take one or the other.
2) Do I have to specify handing on a Dexter C2000 passage lever?
No handing to specify. The C2000 passage lever is non-handed, so one part covers left and right hand doors and you can stock a single item across a building instead of splitting your order by swing.
3) Will the Dexter C2000 lever lock into my existing strike?
It ships with the ANSI 1-1/4 x 4-7/8 inch curved lip strike (C2000-ACLS), which is the standard ANSI frame prep. The latch face is 1 x 2-1/4 inches with a 1 inch diameter springlatch. If your frame already has the ANSI 4-7/8 inch strike cutout, the included strike drops straight in. If your frame has the smaller T-strike prep, you will need to reuse the existing strike or fill and re-prep the frame.
4) Is a Grade 2 passage lever enough for an apartment building or office corridor?
Grade 2 is the commercial medium duty tier and the C2000 is built for commercial use, which suits apartment interiors, offices, hall and closet doors. For a hospital corridor, a school, or any door getting constant public traffic, step to Grade 1: the Falcon K101 and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 are both Grade 1 passage cylindrical levers. Going the other way, Grade 3 leversets like the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton are residential duty and should not be specified for a commercial corridor.
5) Can I swap a Dexter C2000 lever onto a door that currently has a knob?
If the existing lock is a 2-3/8 or 2-3/4 inch backset cylindrical bored lockset, yes, the C2000 goes into the same door prep, since it is a cylindrical bored lock offered in both of those backsets. What changes at the frame is the strike: the C2000 comes with the ANSI 1-1/4 x 4-7/8 curved lip strike, while brass ball knob sets are packaged with the smaller ANSI 1-1/4 x 2-1/4 T-strike. Going lever is also the move when a door needs an ADA-friendly operable handle rather than a knob.
6) Is a dummy lever the same thing as the Dexter C2000 passage lever?
No. The Dexter C2000 passage lever has a working latch: the lever retracts a springlatch, and the standard latch is the C2000-SL-234 springlatch with a 2-3/4 inch backset. A dummy lever is surface mounted trim with no latch at all and no bored function. The BEST 7KC single dummy trim cylindrical lever is Grade 2 non-keyed, the BEST 9K 1DT is Grade 1 heavy duty dummy trim, the Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 single dummy, and the Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever. Order a dummy only for an inactive leaf or a closet door held by a roller catch, never where the door needs to latch.
7) What is the closest Grade 2 passage lever equivalent to the Dexter C2000 passage lockset from another manufacturer?
The Falcon B101 is the nearest match: it is a Grade 2 cylindrical passage lever lock with a non-handed design, the same function class and grade as the Dexter C2000 passage lever, which is Grade 2, non-handed, non-keyed with passage function. The Accentra 5301LN Augusta is another Grade 2 cylindrical lever in passage/closet function, and the Hager 2510 is a Grade 2 passage cylindrical lever lock with the Withnell lever design. All three cover the same hall, closet, and corridor openings where the lever simply retracts the latch and nothing locks.
8) What should I use instead of the Dexter C2000 passage lever on a high-abuse opening like a school corridor or a stairwell?
Step up to a Grade 1 passage lever. The Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage cylindrical lock with non-handed levers, fire rated, and covers a 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range. The Falcon T101 is also Grade 1 heavy duty passage with pressure release technology, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage/closet lever, fire rated, for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. The Dexter C2000 passage lever is Grade 2 and fits 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, so on thicker doors the Grade 1 options also solve the thickness question.
9) The Dexter C2000 passage lever does not lock. What do I order for the same opening if the room needs to be secured?
Passage function never locks, so pick the function the room needs. For a restroom or bedroom, the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever and the Arrow MK02-TA is a privacy function lock with a Tudor knob. For a room that stays locked and is opened by key from outside, the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever and the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever lockset with a deadlocking latchbolt. For office or entry use, the Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 cylindrical lever in entry/office function and the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock.
10) What passage lever should I use on a 2-3/4 inch backset door if I am not using the Dexter C2000?
The Dexter C2000 passage lever ships standard with the C2000-SL-234 springlatch at a 2-3/4 inch backset and the C2000-ACLS ANSI 1-1/4 inch by 4-7/8 inch curved lip strike, with a 2-3/8 inch springlatch as the alternate. Among Grade 2 lever locks with a 2-3/4 inch backset called out, the Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever of the AG Series is a 2-3/4 inch backset lock, while the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever is a 2-3/8 inch backset part. Confirm the backset against the existing bore before ordering, since the two are not interchangeable in an already-prepped door.
11) What does non-clutching mean on a Dexter C2000 lever, and does it matter?
Both lever designs, the Curved Lever and the Regular Lever, are non-clutching. The lever is rigidly tied to the latch retractor rather than spinning free under force. On a passage lock there is nothing to defeat by forcing the lever, but it does mean the lever will take the abuse directly, so in high-traffic public corridors a Grade 1 passage lever such as the Falcon K101 or the Design Hardware X75 is the heavier option.
12) What does the ANSI F75 designation on a Dexter C2000 mean for my spec?
F75 is the ANSI/BHMA function number for passage latch: latchbolt retracted by the lever from either side at all times, no locking. If a door schedule or drawing calls for F75 passage in Grade 2, the C2000 lever meets that call-out directly.
13) I only need a pull on one side, no latch. Is the C2000 passage lever what I want?
No. A passage lever operates a springlatch, so it will latch the door every time it closes. For a closet door or an inactive leaf that just needs a lever to pull on, order a dummy trim instead: the BEST 7KC Series 1DT is a Grade 2 single dummy cylindrical lever, and the BEST 9K Series 1DT is the Grade 1 heavy duty version.
14) Does anything else need to be ordered to install a Dexter C2000 passage lever?
No extra parts for a standard opening. The lock comes with its springlatch and the ANSI 1-1/4 x 4-7/8 curved lip strike, so the only order-form decision is backset (2-3/4 standard or 2-3/8), finish and lever design. Since it is non-keyed there are no cylinders, keyways or keying to specify.
15) I need a passage lever for a residential-grade interior door and the Dexter C2000 is more lock than the job needs. What is the lighter option?
Grade 3 passage levers cover light interior duty. The Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever set is Grade 3 passage/hall/closet for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the same thickness window the Dexter C2000 covers, and the Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel. The Dexter C2000 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical lockset, built for traffic those two are not rated for.
16) I am standardizing passage levers across a building. Which Grade 2 passage levers can I mix with the Dexter C2000 and which are a different grade?
Staying at Grade 2 passage, the Dexter C2000 sits alongside the Accentra 5301LN Augusta of the 5300 Series, the Accentra 4601LN with Augusta trim of the 4600 Series, the Falcon B101 medium duty B Series, the Arrow GL01 of the GL Series, the Hager 2510, and the Design Hardware J75 of the J Series. Stepping outside Grade 2: the Design Hardware X75 passage lever is Grade 1 X Series, and the Callan Asheville is Grade 3. The Dexter C2000 is Grade 2 with a Grade 2 F75 ANSI/BHMA function designation.
17) What is the difference between the Dexter C2000 passage lever and the Design Hardware J75 passage lever?
Both are Grade 2 passage lever locksets. The Design Hardware J75 is a flat lever built for a 1-3/4 inch door. The Dexter C2000 passage lever fits a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch range and comes in a curved lever and a regular lever design, in bright brass 605, oil-rubbed bronze 613, and satin chrome 626, all non-clutching. If the doors in the job vary between 1-3/8 and 1-3/4 inch, the C2000 covers the whole set with one part.
18) Can I put a keypad lever on a passage opening instead of the Dexter C2000?
Only if you want code-controlled access rather than free passage, and they are not interchangeable parts. The Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function and ADA compliance for 1 3/16 inch to 2 inch doors, the Lockey 2835DC is the double combination version at the same thickness range, and the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set in passage function for 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock. The Dexter C2000 passage lever is non-keyed with no code entry: both levers always retract the latch.
19) Does the Dexter C2000 passage lever come in a knob, or do I need a different part for a knob opening?
The Dexter C2000 passage lockset is a lever handle. For knob trim on a cylindrical lock you are into a different product: the Arrow MK02-TA is a privacy cylindrical lock with a Tudor knob, the Arrow HK11-BB is an entrance cylindrical lock with a ball knob and a conventional cylinder for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Arrow MK33-BD-CS is a heavy duty asylum function cylindrical lock with a ball knob. Knob trim also drops ADA lever-operation, which matters on any opening in an accessible route.
20) I want a decorative passage lever for a lobby or an executive suite rather than the Dexter C2000. What are the options?
The Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever with the 5048 rose is a decorative passage lever, and the same 5103 trim is offered in privacy and in left and right hand half dummy so a suite can be finished consistently. The Bravura Miramar with round trim is a Grade 2 passage leverset in US4 satin brass, and Bravura also offers Atlanta and Orlando with round trim and Tampa with square trim, all Grade 2 passage. The Dexter C2000 passage lever is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical lockset with a curved or regular lever in bright brass 605, oil-rubbed bronze 613, and satin chrome 626.
