Dormakaba 501257-1626-K – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What exactly is the Dormakaba 501257 part, a complete lockset or just the lever?
It's the lever trim only, not a lock. The 501257 is a Frebar replacement lever finished in Satin Chrome (1626), sold as a service part for Dormakaba mechanical lock systems. If the latch, chassis or cylinder in the door is what failed, this part won't address it, you'd be replacing the lock body instead.
2) Will the 501257 lever fit any Dormakaba lock, or only Frebar?
Frebar only. The lever is built for the Frebar product family within Dormakaba's mechanical lock line and is intended as a like-for-like swap on those installations. On a non-Frebar Dormakaba lock the spindle and retention geometry won't match, so identify the existing lock family off the chassis or the door's hardware schedule before ordering.
3) Can a Corbin Russwin 483F80 lever be used in place of the Dormakaba 501257 Frebar lever?
No. The Dormakaba 501257 is an OEM replacement lever trim for Dormakaba Frebar mechanical lock systems, sized and splined for that family. The Corbin Russwin 483F80 is an outside lever and spindle built for the Corbin Russwin ML2000 mortise series in a Corridor/Dormitory function, for a 1-3/4 inch thick door. Each lever mates to its own lock chassis and spindle arrangement, so the two are not interchangeable in the same door.
4) What finish code is Satin Chrome on Dormakaba hardware, and will it match my other doors?
Satin Chrome here is finish 1626. If the rest of the openings in the building are already 1626 or the common US26D equivalent satin chrome, the lever will read consistently alongside them. Against bright chrome, satin nickel or brass openings it will visibly differ, so match the finish code on the existing hardware rather than the colour name.
5) I have one broken lever on a door, do I need to buy two?
One 501257 covers one side of the door. Levers wear and break individually, most often on the corridor side, so a single lever is a normal repair. Order two only if you want both sides in matching new condition, which is worth doing if the existing one is worn or in a different finish than 1626.
6) What part number should I give my distributor for the Satin Chrome Frebar lever?
Call it out as Dormakaba 501257, model 501257-1626-K, where 1626 identifies the Satin Chrome finish. Naming the finish code with the base number keeps the wrong-finish lever from shipping.
7) Does the 501257 come with a spindle or mounting screws?
It is sold as the replacement lever itself. Some competing trim parts bundle the spindle, for example the Corbin Russwin 483F80 which is listed as an outside lever and spindle, but the 501257 is catalogued as the Frebar lever in Satin Chrome. Plan on reusing the spindle and retention hardware from the lever you're taking off.
8) Does the Dormakaba 501257 lever include a spindle the way some replacement levers do?
The Dormakaba 501257 is supplied as the Frebar replacement lever trim in Satin Chrome (1626), a manufacturer-matched trim component for Dormakaba mechanical lock systems. By contrast, the Corbin Russwin 483F80 is catalogued as an outside lever and spindle together for the ML2000 series. If your service call requires a new spindle as well, confirm the spindle separately when ordering Frebar trim.
9) For a Grade 1 corridor or dormitory opening, is the Dormakaba 501257 the right lever?
The 501257 is a Dormakaba OEM replacement lever for existing Frebar lever lock installations, so it is the right choice when you are restoring trim on a Frebar lock already hung in the opening. If the opening is being specified around a Grade 1 mortise lock in Corridor/Dormitory function, the Corbin Russwin 483F80 is a lever and spindle for the Grade 1 ML2000 series in that function. The function comes from the lock chassis, not the lever trim, in both cases.
10) Is the Dormakaba 501257 lever rated for commercial traffic or is it a residential part?
Commercial. It's classified as commercial lock trim and is used in office buildings, schools, healthcare, retail, government facilities, multi-tenant residential and warehouse settings. Nothing about it is aimed at residential-duty locks.
