Orca Hardware ORC-OCL2170DU-26D-CAP – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does a half dummy lever like the Orca OCL2170 actually do on a door?
It's a pull, not a lock. The OCL2170 is a dummy function lever with no latch and no cylinder, so the lever is fixed and does not retract anything. It mounts on one face of the door only, which is what "half" means. Typical use is the inactive leaf of a pair, a closet or cabinet door held shut by a magnetic or roller catch, or a door that needs to match the lever look of keyed openings nearby without any latching function.
2) Do I have to order a dummy lever handed for a left or right hand door?
No handing needed. Orca's cylindrical locksets are non-handed and do not require field disassembly to rehand, so one OCL2170 works on either hand. You do still choose which face of the door it goes on at install, since it's a single-side trim.
3) Will the Orca OCL2170 dummy lever match the keyed Orca levers on my other doors?
It's built to. The OCL2170 uses the same 3-5/8 inch diameter rose as the rest of the Orca cylindrical line and the same Captain and Admiral lever designs, in 626 Brushed Chrome or 613 Satin Bronze Oil-Rubbed. Spec the same lever style and finish as the keyed openings and the dummy reads identically across the corridor.
4) Is the Orca OCL2170 ANSI Grade 1 or Grade 2, and is it UL listed?
Grade 2. The Orca cylindrical line is tested to ANSI/BHMA A156.2, Series 4000, Grade 2 for key-in-lever locksets and is UL listed 3 hour A Label. Duty level is medium duty, commercial. If your spec calls out Grade 1 across the opening, look at a Grade 1 line such as the Cal-Royal Calypso CAL30 or Marks USA 195 Survivor Series instead.
5) I need a lever that actually latches the door, not a dummy. What should I use instead of the OCL2170?
The OCL2170 is dummy function, so it has no latch and no turning action. For a latching but non-locking opening, the Cal-Royal CAL30 is a Grade 1 passage lockset fitting 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Marks USA 195N is a Grade 1 ADA-compliant passage lever in the Survivor Series. Dorma's CL701 is a Grade 2 non-keyed lever in passage function if you want to stay at the same grade as the Orca.
6) What is the closest equivalent to the Orca OCL2170 half dummy lever from another manufacturer?
The Dorma C501 single dummy trim lever lockset is the nearest match. Like the Orca OCL2170, it is a Grade 2 dummy-function lever with no keying, and it adjusts to door thicknesses of 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the same range the OCL2170 covers. Both are pull-only trim with no latch, so either will serve an inactive leaf or a closet door where the buyer just needs a matching lever on the face.
7) The OCL2170 does not lock. What is the comparable keyed lever for an entry door?
Dummy trim gives no security, so for a keyed opening step to an entrance-function lever. The Dorma C853 is a Grade 1 single-cylinder keyed entry lever fitting 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Stanley QCL150 is a Grade 2 entry lever supplied less cylinder with a 2-3/4 inch backset latch and a 4-7/8 inch by 1-1/4 inch ASA strike, which matches the 2-3/4 inch backset and ASA strike the Orca OCL2170 line uses. For a storeroom opening, the Marks USA 175RF is Grade 2 with a small format IC prep, less core, on a 2-3/4 inch backset.
8) Does a dummy lever need a 2-3/4 inch backset bore or an ANSI strike prep?
No. Backset and strike prep belong to latching functions. The keyed and latching Orca cylindrical locks come with a 2-3/4 inch backset and an ASA strike (2-3/8 inch backset optional), but the OCL2170 dummy has no latch, no cylinder and nothing to strike into, so it mounts to the door face only. If your existing door already has a 161 cross bore from an old lockset, the dummy rose covers it.
9) Is the Orca OCL2170 lever ADA compliant for a commercial corridor?
The lever designs are solid with no inserts and meet federal ADA and state disability requirements, so the shape qualifies as an operable lever rather than a knob. Worth noting on a dummy: since it doesn't operate anything, ADA operating force provisions aren't in play, but the trim still matches the compliant levers on the active doors.
10) What other single dummy lever trims could I use instead of the Orca OCL2170?
The closest cross-brand equivalent we carry is the Dorma C501 single dummy trim keyless lever lockset, also Grade 2 dummy function, with the same 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range. The Dorma CL701 is another Grade 2 single dummy non-keyed lever from the CL700 Series. Pick based on which lever family already runs in the building, since the point of a dummy is visual match.
11) Do I get keys or a cylinder with the Orca OCL2170?
No cylinder and no keys. The C-keyway, 6-pin brass cylinder and two keys per lockset apply to Orca's keyed functions; the OCL2170 is the non-keyed dummy, model OCL2170DU, so there is nothing to key and no keying to specify on the order. All you choose is lever style and finish.
12) Can I use the Orca OCL2170 on a bathroom or bedroom door?
No. The OCL2170 is a half dummy, which means a fixed pull with no latch or privacy button. For a bath or bedroom you want a privacy function, such as the Cal-Royal CAL20, a Grade 1 privacy lock fitting 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, or the Alarm Lock Trilogy 4100, a Grade 1 privacy-function cylindrical lock for 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors.
13) Does the Orca OCL2170 have a keypad or any electronic access?
No, the OCL2170 is a mechanical dummy lever with no electronics and no keying. If the opening needs code or credential access, the cylindrical alternatives include the Alarm Lock Trilogy T2 DL2700, a Grade 1 standalone keypad entrance lock holding 100 user codes and accepting IC/SFIC cylinders on 1-5/8 inch to 1-7/8 inch doors, and the Schlage NDEB, a Grade 1 ENGAGE wireless lock using 2.4 GHz Bluetooth Low Energy for 1-5/8 inch to 2 inch doors. Those are full locking devices, not trim, so the door prep and function differ entirely from the Orca.
14) Is a knob lockset like the Marks USA 110AB an acceptable substitute for the Orca OCL2170?
Not for the same purpose. The Marks USA 110AB is a Grade 2 entry knob lockset on a 2-3/8 inch backset, so it is a keyed working lock with a round knob. The Orca OCL2170 is dummy lever trim with a solid lever that meets federal ADA and state disability requirements, which round knobs generally do not. On an ADA-governed opening the knob is not an equal swap.
15) Will the Orca OCL2170 lever sag over time on a high traffic dummy application?
Sag is addressed in the design: the Orca cylindrical locks use individual heavy-duty springs for lever return and to prevent lever sag, with through-bolted trim holding the rose to the door. Through-bolting is the part that matters most on a dummy, since a pull gets yanked rather than turned.
16) What building types is the Orca OCL2170 dummy lever intended for?
Orca lists office buildings, shopping centers, mixed-use buildings and multi-family residences. It's a commercial-rated product rather than residential, so it suits property managers standardizing lever trim across apartment corridors, closets and inactive door leaves in a portfolio.
17) We have a door with no existing bore. Is there a keyless option other than the Orca OCL2170?
The OCL2170 is dummy trim only, so it secures nothing. For a keyless mechanical option that does lock, the Lockey 1600 is a heavy-duty mechanical keyless knob lock with an adjustable backset fitting 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Lockey 2830 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless knob lock with an auto-locking passage function over the same 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch range. Both are knobs rather than levers, which matters if your openings are on an ADA path.
