Imperial USA IMPED-LHL500-US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Imperial USA LHL500 a complete door lock or just trim for an exit device?
It is exit device trim, not a standalone lockset. The LHL500 lever trim mounts on the outside of the door opposite a panic/exit device and lets you unlock and enter with a key. You still need the panic device itself; the trim on its own will not latch a door.
2) Which exit devices does the LHL500 lever trim fit?
It is built to mount to Global Door Controls and Trans-Atlantic panic/exit devices. If your device is from another manufacturer, use that maker's own lever trim instead, since exit device trim is matched to the device's chassis and tailpiece.
3) Do I need to order a left hand or right hand version of this lever trim?
No handing to specify. The LHL500 is non-handed and reversible, so one part covers left and right hand openings. That is useful for a property manager stocking a single spare for a building with doors swinging both ways.
4) Can I key this lever trim into my existing Schlage C master key system?
The cylinder is a Schlage C keyway, the most common commercial keyway in North America, and it ships with two 6-pin keys. A locksmith can rekey it to an existing C keyway system. The spindle latch arrangement lets the cylinder come out without tearing down the whole trim, which speeds up rekeying across a fleet of doors.
5) What is the closest alternative to the Imperial USA LHL500 entry lever trim for an exit device if I need Grade 1 exit device trim?
The Corbin Russwin 585F715 is a Grade 1 lock lever made for the ED8000 pushpad exit device, drawn from the CL3300 cylindrical lock series, and it fits doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch thick. The LHL500 is heavy duty entry function lever trim that mounts on the opposite side of the door from a Global Door Controls or Trans-Atlantic panic exit device and unlocks from the exterior with a Schlage C key. The difference is which exit device family the trim is built to pair with, so match the trim to the device already on the door.
6) If I need a keyed entry lever that operates its own latch instead of exit device trim, what should I order?
The LHL500 is entry function lever trim that works with a panic exit device on the other side of the door, so it is not a standalone lockset. For a self-contained keyed entry lever, the Cal-Royal AG00 is an entrance lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different and a 2-3/8 inch backset, fitting doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. The Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 cylindrical lever with entry/office function. The AG00 shares the Schlage C keyway with the LHL500, so it keys into the same system.
7) Which lever locks share the Schlage C keyway with the Imperial USA LHL500 so I can key them alike?
The LHL500 uses a Schlage C keyway and ships with two 6-pin keys. Among comparable commercial locks, the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever and AG03 classroom lever both use a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different, with the AG00 at a 2-3/8 inch backset and the AG03 at 2-3/4 inch. The Arrow MK33-BD-CS asylum lock is also a conventional cylinder in the Schlage C keyway, though it is a ball knob rather than a lever. For Yale-prepped openings, the Accentra 107S is a Schlage cylinder adapter kit.
8) For a storeroom or classroom door where the lever should stay locked, what should I use instead of the LHL500 entry function?
The LHL500 is entry function, which is not the same as storeroom or classroom. For a storeroom opening, the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever lockset with a deadlocking latchbolt for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. For a classroom door, the Cal-Royal AG03 is a classroom lever with a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Dexter C1000 classroom lock is Grade 1 with a clutching lever for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
9) Is a lever trim required for ADA compliance on an exit device?
A lever is the standard ADA-friendly operator because it works without tight grasping or twisting, and the LHL500 is listed as ADA compliant. If your current exit device has a knob or thumbpiece trim on the pull side, swapping to lever trim is the usual fix.
10) Does the LHL500 come with the screws and instructions, or do I need a separate mounting kit?
Mounting hardware and instructions are in the box, plus two keys. Nothing extra to order beyond the exit device itself.
11) Is this lever trim suitable for a commercial exterior door, or is it residential grade?
It is a heavy duty commercial trim, intended for exterior doors and office doors that need keyed security. For a residential entry with no panic device, a standard cylindrical entry leverset such as the Hager 2525 Grade 2 entry lock or the Cal-Royal AG00 entrance lever (also 6-pin Schlage C) is the right part instead.
12) What is a comparable lever trim for a pushpad exit device from a major brand?
For a Corbin Russwin ED8000 pushpad device, the matching part is the Corbin Russwin 585F715 Grade 1 lock lever, which fits 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors. The Imperial LHL500 is the equivalent role for Global Door Controls and Trans-Atlantic devices; the two are not interchangeable across device brands.
13) I do not need the door to lock, just a lever pull on the inside. What is a simpler option than the LHL500?
The LHL500 is keyed entry function trim, so if no locking is needed there are non-keyed choices. For a dummy lever that is fixed and does not retract a latch, the BEST 9K Series 1DT is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed single dummy trim, and the BEST 7KC Series 1DT is the Grade 2 medium duty equivalent. If the lever must turn and retract a latch without locking, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lock with non-handed levers for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Design Hardware X75 is a Grade 1 passage lever for 1-3/4 inch doors.
14) What looks like a substitute for the LHL500 but will not work on a door with a panic exit device?
Decorative and residential leversets are the common mis-pick. The Baldwin Estate 5103 entry-family levers with the 5048 rose come in passage, privacy, and left- and right-hand half dummy versions, and the Emtek Classic Cortina and Arts and Crafts dummy levers are sold as pairs for openings with no latch at all. The Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage and 300BRNL Breton privacy leversets are Grade 3 for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. None of those are built as trim for a panic exit device, which is what the LHL500 does when it mounts opposite a Global Door Controls or Trans-Atlantic device.
15) We want keyless access on the opening instead of a keyed lever. What replaces the LHL500 in that case?
The LHL500 is keyed and unlocks from the exterior with a Schlage C key. If you would rather not carry keys, the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination in passage function for doors 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch, and the 1150S version of that keypad lever set has an adjustable backset. Electronic options include the Delaney LP250 Grade 2 keypad leverlock and the Emtek Classic keypad leverset. These are standalone locksets rather than trim for an exit device.
16) Do I have to worry about handing when cross-shopping the LHL500 against other entry levers?
The LHL500 is non-handed and reversible, so one part covers left and right hand openings. Among comparable levers, the Falcon K101 passage lock and Falcon B101 passage lever are also non-handed. By contrast the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy is handed and ordered as a left hand or a right hand part, so on that family you must confirm the swing before ordering.
17) I need an entry lever with a deadbolt on the same opening. Is the LHL500 that, and if not what is?
No. The LHL500 is entry function lever trim that pairs with a panic exit device and does not include a deadbolt. For an entry lever with a deadbolt on the same door, the Callan Bennett is a Grade 3 entrance leverset supplied as a deadbolt combo. Other keyed entry levers without a deadbolt include the Callan Artino Grade 3 entrance leverset and the Cal-Royal AUS00 Grade 3 entrance/office lever with a solid brass forged body for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
18) What finishes does the Imperial USA LHL500 lever trim come in?
Two: US10B oil rubbed bronze and US26D brushed chrome. US26D is the usual match for commercial openings already running satin chrome exit devices and closers; US10B suits darker bronze storefront and office trim.
19) My exit device trim only needs to be a pull, with no key. Is the LHL500 still the right part?
No. The LHL500 is entry function with a keyed cylinder, so you are paying for lock hardware you would not use. For a door that stays unlocked on the outside, order non-keyed trim or a dummy lever such as the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim.
20) The LHL500 comes in oil rubbed bronze and brushed chrome. What if I need a brass finish lever on the same job?
The LHL500 is offered in US10B oil rubbed bronze and US26D brushed chrome. For a brass appearance on a companion opening, the Bravura Miramar passage leverset with round trim is a Grade 2 lever in US4 satin brass. Keep in mind the Miramar is passage function and non-keyed, so it suits a hall or closet door rather than a secured exterior door.
