International Door Closers DL-4511-118-AL – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Which cylinder backset do I order for the IDC DL-4511 deadlatch, 31/32 inch or 1-1/8 inch?
Match it to the stile prep already in the aluminum door. The DL-4511 deadlatch is offered with a 31/32 inch cylinder backset and a 1-1/8 inch cylinder backset, and that dimension sets where the cylinder hole falls relative to the door edge. Measure from the edge of the stile to the center of the existing cylinder cutout and order the backset that matches, since the wrong one will not line the cylinder up with the lock case.
2) Do I have to specify hand for the DL-4511, or can it be reversed on the job?
Field reversible for opposite hand, so a single unit covers either swing. You only need to call out the hand if you want it pre-handed from the factory. For a locksmith working out of a van, that means one part number handles both left and right openings.
3) What cylinder does the IDC DL-4511 deadlatch take?
It accepts a standard 1-5/32 inch mortise key cylinder or thumbturn cylinder with an AR MS-type cam. That is the common aluminum storefront cylinder length, so if you are keying the door into an existing system you can usually reuse your keyway by ordering a mortise cylinder in that length with the MS cam. The cylinder is not part of the lock itself, so order it separately.
4) What size faceplate cutout does the DL-4511 flat faceplate need?
The faceplate measures 1 x 6-7/8 inches and is a flat profile, not beveled. Confirm the mortise cutout in the door edge matches those dimensions; a stile prepped for a flat 1 x 6-7/8 faceplate takes this lock directly.
5) Should I use a storefront deadlatch like the DL-4511 or a standard deadbolt on my glass entry door?
A deadlatch is the right choice on a narrow stile aluminum glass door. It mortises into the stile, uses a 1/2 inch latch with key dogging, and takes a 1-5/32 inch mortise cylinder, which is the storefront standard. A bored deadbolt such as the Arrow DBX61 or Hager 3215 needs a cross bore through a wood or hollow metal door and is meant for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch thickness, so it does not suit a glass front stile. Use the deadlatch on storefront, the bored deadbolt on a standard commercial door.
6) What is the difference between the International Door Closers DL-4511 deadlatch and a bored deadbolt like the Dexter DB2000 single cylinder?
They solve different openings. The DL-4511 is a narrow stile deadlatch with a 1/2 inch throw chrome plated latch bolt with a Delrin insert, a flat 1 inch by 6-7/8 inch faceplate, and cylinder backsets of 31/32 inch or 1-1/8 inch, so it goes into an aluminum stile door and latches on close. The Dexter DB2000 single cylinder unit is a cylinder x thumbturn deadbolt for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, which is wood or hollow metal door territory and it throws a deadbolt rather than a self-latching bolt.
7) My opening is a fire rated door. Does the DL-4511 fit that, or should I look elsewhere?
The DL-4511 is a commercial deadlatch lock and the record does not carry a fire rating for it. Where the drawing calls for a fire rated deadbolt, the Hager 3115 cylinder x thumbturn and Hager 3215 single cylinder with 1 inch throw are both fire rated for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick with a Schlage C keyway, and the Cal-Royal CRB800 is a Grade 1 heavy duty single cylinder deadbolt with a UL 3-hour fire rated latch.
8) Is a strike included with the DL-4511, or do I buy it separately?
The SS-4510 strike ships with the lock in US26D. So the latch and the jamb strike come together, and the only separate items you normally need are the mortise cylinder and, if you want, a thumbturn.
9) Can I hold the latch retracted so the door stays open during business hours?
Yes, the DL-4511 has key controlled dogging, so you can retract and hold the latch with the key for free entry during the day and release it at closing. That is a normal requirement on retail storefront entries and is why this deadlatch gets used instead of a plain deadbolt.
10) I need a keyed deadlock for a hollow metal exit door, not a storefront stile. What should I look at instead?
The DL-4511 is a mortise storefront deadlatch, so on a hollow metal or wood door you want a cylindrical deadlock instead. The Corbin Russwin DL3011 is a Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Arrow E61 SFIC prep version covers 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch if you key on small format interchangeable cores. For a non-keyed inside-only exit deadlock, the Arrow E60 is blank plate by thumbturn.
11) Can I use a thumbturn on the inside of the DL-4511 instead of a second key cylinder?
Yes. The lock takes either a 1-5/32 inch mortise key cylinder or a thumbturn cylinder, as long as it carries the AR MS-type cam. That lets you run key outside and thumbturn inside on an occupied storefront, or key both sides where the egress path allows it.
12) Does anything else take a mortise cylinder the way the DL-4511 does?
The DL-4511 accepts a standard 1-5/32 inch mortise key or thumbturn cylinder with an AR MS-type cam. Among mortise-style alternatives, the Dormakaba D900 is a small case mortise dead bolt supplied with a D cylinder keyed different in SC keyways, and the Dormakaba M1960 from the M1000 Series is a single cylinder deadbolt in cylinder x turn with no trim. The Emtek 2050 and 2051 are European mortise deadbolts with an integrated roller latch, square and round respectively.
13) The DL-4511 needs to be ordered by backset and hand. Is there a deadbolt that avoids that?
The DL-4511 is field reversible for opposite hand but you specify cylinder backset of 31/32 inch or 1-1/8 inch, and hand if pre-handing is required. If you want to skip handing and backset selection, adjustable backset deadbolts include the Falcon D111 Grade 1 classroom deadbolt with adjustable backset, the Cal-Royal ED500 Grade 3 single cylinder deadbolt with adjustable backset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Brinks Raleigh E2401 single cylinder deadbolt with a 4-way adjustable backset. Note these are bored deadbolts for conventional doors, not narrow stile deadlatches.
14) Which alternatives carry a stated ANSI grade if my spec calls one out?
Grade 1 options in the comparable set include the Accentra D111 single cylinder deadbolt with 2-3/8 inch backset for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the Design Hardware D1 Series double cylinder deadbolt rated extra heavy duty for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Falcon D111 classroom deadbolt. Grade 2 choices include the Falcon D211 classroom function deadbolt with single cylinder operation and the Cal-Royal CB160 single cylinder deadbolt with a tamper-resistant cylinder guard. All of these are bored deadbolts, so confirm your door will take the cross bore before substituting for a narrow stile deadlatch.
15) Is the Arrow 460 mortise lock strike a substitute for the DL-4511?
No. The Arrow 460 is a mortise lock strike with a straight lip for latchbolt by deadbolt functions on 1-3/4 inch doors, so it is the strike side only. The DL-4511 is the lock itself and already ships with the SS-4510 strike in US26D, so a separate strike is not what you are missing.
16) I want keyed access plus code entry instead of the DL-4511. What are the electronic options?
The DL-4511 is a mechanical lock with no electronic function; it uses key controlled dogging. For code or credential entry, the Codelocks CL200 is a surface deadbolt with key override rated light duty, the Codelocks CL2210 is an electronic mortise deadbolt, and the Dormakaba Saffire LX-D is an RFID electronic deadbolt with BLE and electronic lock override. For a fail-secure electric bolt tied to access control, the DynaLock 1300 Series is a heavy duty mortise electric deadbolt.
17) Can I key the DL-4511 to the same interchangeable core system as my other doors?
The DL-4511 takes a standard 1-5/32 inch mortise key or thumbturn cylinder with an AR MS-type cam, so keying follows whatever mortise cylinder you install. If you are standardizing on small format interchangeable core, the Arrow E61 26D is prepped for SFIC less core, the Delaney LM Series Grade 1 single cylinder deadbolt ships less core in dull chrome US26D, and the Deltana CL200LAIC is a Grade 2 single deadbolt with interchangeable core, non cylinder.
18) What finishes does the DL-4511 deadlatch come in?
Two: anodized satin aluminum, and a satin aluminum with anodized bronze combination. Both are offered in either the 31/32 inch or 1-1/8 inch backset, so finish does not restrict your backset choice. Satin aluminum is the usual match for clear anodized storefront framing; the bronze option pairs with dark bronze frames.
19) Is the DL-4511 deadlatch rated for commercial traffic, and is it electrified?
It is a commercial-duty mechanical lock, entirely non-electronic. There is no solenoid, no wiring, and no access control interface, so it will not tie into a card reader. If the opening needs electric control, a mortise electric deadbolt such as the DynaLock 1300 Series is the type to look at instead.
20) The DL-4511 comes in aluminum and bronze anodized. What if I need to match brass or bronze trim on a wood entry?
The DL-4511 is finished in anodized satin aluminum or anodized satin aluminum with anodized bronze, which suits aluminum storefront trim. For decorative entry hardware, the Emtek #11 Tuscany is a lost wax cast bronze deadbolt in cylinder x thumbturn, the Baldwin Estates 8011 is a contemporary 1-5/8 inch double cylinder deadbolt in entrance function, and the Baldwin Reserve contemporary round and square deadbolts are double cylinder.
21) Is the Codelocks CL160 mortise latch an equivalent to the DL-4511?
They are not interchangeable. The Codelocks CL160 is a light duty CL100 Series mortise latch with QuickCode function, so entry is by code. The DL-4511 is a commercial mechanical deadlatch with a 1/2 inch throw latch bolt, key controlled dogging, and a flat 1 inch by 6-7/8 inch faceplate, keyed through a separate mortise cylinder.
