Sargent DLU65 TOMD 26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Sargent DLU65 privacy lever fit a 1-3/8 inch interior door, or does it need a 1-3/4 inch door?
Both work. The DLU65 tubular privacy lock covers door thicknesses from 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches, so it goes on older interior slabs and standard commercial doors without a spacer or a different chassis. That range covers most bedroom, bathroom and private office doors in a mixed-age building.
2) Do I have to specify handing when ordering a Sargent DLU65 lever lock?
The DLU65 chassis is non-handed, so the lock itself doesn't care which way the door swings. Handing is still a required selection on the order because the Studio Collection lever has a left and a right version, and you want the lever curving toward the door. Measure from the outside: if the hinges are on your left, it's a left hand door.
3) Can I use a Sargent DLU65 on a fire rated door?
Yes. The DLU65 privacy lever is UL-cUL listed for openings rated up to 3 hours, which covers stairwell-adjacent restrooms, corridor doors and patient or dorm room doors in a rated assembly. That listing is the reason this lock shows up on commercial specs where a residential-grade privacy set would fail inspection.
4) Is the Sargent DLU65 heavy duty enough for a public restroom in an office building?
It's built for that. The DLU65 is a Grade 1, heavy duty cylindrical lock with a solid cast zinc lever, which is the durability tier commercial restroom and corridor doors are specified at. Grade 1 is the top ANSI/BHMA operational tier for bored locks, above the Grade 2 sets common in light commercial work.
5) Does the Sargent DLU65 take a key, and can I unlock it from the outside in an emergency?
The DLU65 is a non-keyed privacy function, so there is no cylinder and no key. It locks from the inside with the button or turn and is intended for bathrooms, bedrooms and private offices. If you need staff to key the door open, this is the wrong function; you want an entrance or storeroom lock with a cylinder instead.
6) Is the Sargent DLU65 lever ADA compliant for an accessible restroom?
Yes. The DLU65 uses a lever rather than a knob and is stated to meet ADA and ICC A117.1 requirements for accessible design, which is what governs operable hardware on accessible restrooms and public spaces. A knob-style privacy set will not pass that requirement.
7) What is the closest Grade 1 privacy lever to the Sargent DLU65 if I need a different brand on the same bathroom door?
The Arrow MK02-TA is the nearest Grade 1 privacy unit in the same cylindrical family. Both are non-keyed privacy locks: the DLU65 is a Grade 1 cylindrical privacy lock, and the MK02-TA is a Grade 1 privacy/bed/bath cylindrical lock that is fire rated. The working difference is the trim in the hand: the Sargent DLU65 uses a solid cast zinc Studio Collection lever, while the Arrow MK02-TA is a Tudor knob. On an accessible opening that distinction matters, because the DLU65 is the lever product and a knob is a knob.
8) I need a privacy lever for apartment bathrooms but Grade 1 is more than the job calls for - what is a lighter option?
The Hager 2540 and the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton are the step-down privacy levers in the set. The Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever and covers doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Kwikset 300BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 privacy/bed/bath lever set covering 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Sargent DLU65 stays the heavy duty Grade 1 choice, and it is the one carrying the UL-cUL 3-hour fire rating and ADA compliance - if the bathroom door is a rated assembly or a public accessible restroom, the lighter grades are not a swap.
9) The door does not need to lock at all - what replaces the Sargent DLU65 for a hall or closet opening?
Drop to a passage lever, which latches but has no thumbturn. In Grade 1 the peers are the Falcon K101, a Grade 1 heavy duty passage cylindrical lock with non-handed levers covering 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors and fire rated; the Falcon T101, a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever with pressure release technology; the Corbin Russwin CL3110, a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage/closet lever, fire rated, for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors; and the Design Hardware X75, a Grade 1 flat-lever passage set for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Sargent DLU65 is the privacy version - it is the one to specify when the room needs to be secured from inside.
10) The opening needs a key from the corridor side - what do I order instead of the DLU65?
The DLU65 is non-keyed, so a keyed function has to come from a different product. The Grade 1 keyed peers are the Dexter C1000 series: the C1000 Entry/Office with clutching keyed lever for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, the C1000 Classroom, the C1000 Classroom Security, and the C1000 Asylum (F87) covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. Pick by who needs to control the door - entry/office for a staff room, classroom for key-outside control, asylum for keyed operation from both sides.
11) The door is 2 inches thick - which of these cylindrical levers will actually fit?
The Sargent DLU65 covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, so a full 2 inch leaf is outside its range. Peers that reach 2 inches include the Hager 2510 passage lever at 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Falcon K101 passage lever at 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 passage lever at 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, and the Dexter C1000 Asylum at 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Measure the leaf before ordering - thickness is the spec that most often sends a cylindrical lockset back.
12) What is the SG MicroShield option on the Sargent DL Series lever, and is it worth it for a healthcare job?
SG is a MicroShield antimicrobial powder coat applied to the lever and trim. On patient rooms, exam rooms and staff restrooms it's a commonly specified add for high-touch hardware. It's an ordering option, not standard, so it has to be called out on the purchase order.
13) What lever and rose combinations can I get on the Sargent DL Series Studio Collection privacy lock?
Two Studio Collection lever styles, MD and ND, in four rose shapes: CO, E2, O and TO. That's the full set of trim choices, so you can match the DLU65 privacy doors to the passage and entry openings elsewhere on the floor. Lever and rose are separate selections, so pick both when you order.
14) Can I match the Sargent DLU65 to the existing oil rubbed bronze hardware in my building?
Sixteen finishes are available on the DL Series, including 10B dark oxidized satin bronze oil rubbed, 10BE and 10BL bronze variants, 26D satin chrome, 32D satin stainless, 15 satin nickel, 03 bright brass, 04 satin brass, 09 bright bronze, 10 satin bronze, 20D dark statuary bronze, 14 bright nickel, 26 bright chrome, 32 bright stainless, plus BSP black suede and WSP white suede powder coats. For a fleet of doors, match on the finish code rather than the description, since several bronzes read similarly by name.
15) What's the difference between a Sargent DLU65 privacy lock and a passage lever like the Falcon K101?
Function. The DLU65 is a privacy lock, so it has an inside locking button for bathrooms and bedrooms. The Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 passage lock, which latches but never locks, and is what you put on a hall, closet or corridor door. Both are Grade 1 heavy duty. Ordering a passage set for a restroom is one of the more common mistakes on a multi-door order.
16) I need a cheaper privacy lever for apartment bedrooms. What else does ZenSupply carry besides the Sargent DLU65?
For lighter residential duty, the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever is a Grade 3 privacy set for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Arrow MK02-TA is a privacy knob rather than a lever, fire rated, for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors, so check both the thickness and whether your job requires a lever for accessibility. The DLU65 stays the choice where a Grade 1 lock or the 3-hour fire listing is on the spec.
17) I'm doing a whole floor. What do I order alongside the Sargent DLU65 for the hall and office doors?
The DLU65 covers only the privacy openings. For corridor, hall and closet doors that need to latch but never lock, a Grade 1 passage cylindrical lever such as the Corbin Russwin CL3110 (1-3/4 to 2 inch doors, fire rated) or the Falcon K101 (1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch) fills that role. For a door that needs a key, you want an entrance or storeroom function, such as the Hager 2580 storeroom lever. Match finish codes across all of them so the floor reads as one package.
18) Can I use a dummy lever like the BEST 9K 1DT in place of a Sargent DLU65?
No. A dummy trim is a fixed pull with no latch and no locking - the BEST 9K series 1DT is a Grade 1 non-keyed single dummy trim, and the 7KC series 1DT is the Grade 2 medium duty equivalent. Neither latches the door. The Sargent DLU65 is a working privacy lock with a latch and an inside locking mechanism for bathrooms, bedrooms and private offices. Dummies belong on the inactive leaf of a pair or on a closet door held by a ball catch; if the door has to close and secure, it needs the DLU65.
19) We want one lever design across passage, privacy and dummy doors in a suite - what pairs with the DLU65?
Two routes. Within Sargent, the DLU65 carries the Studio Collection MD and ND levers on CO, E2, O and TO roses across sixteen finishes, so matching by finish and rose across the DL Series keeps one look. If the whole suite is being bought as one family from another brand, the Baldwin Estate 5103 with the 5048 rose is the set that covers all three functions on one lever design - 5103 privacy, 5103 passage, and half dummies handed left and right. Note the Baldwin half dummies are handed, while the DLU65 tubular design is non-handed.
20) Is a keypad lever like the Delaney LP250 an alternative to the Sargent DLU65 on a restroom door?
They solve different problems. The Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock and the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set in passage function for 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch doors - both are credential-controlled entry devices, meant to admit people who know a code. The Sargent DLU65 is a non-keyed privacy lock: it is locked from the occupied side and released from outside in an emergency. For a restroom or bedroom the DLU65 is the correct function; a keypad is for controlling who gets in, not for privacy from within.
21) What is the difference between the Sargent DLU65 and a storeroom lever like the Cal-Royal AG05?
Storeroom and privacy are opposite intents. The Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lockset with a deadlocking latchbolt for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom lock with the Withnell lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors - both keep the outside lever locked at all times and require a key to enter. The Sargent DLU65 is Grade 1 privacy: no key, no cylinder, locked from inside only. Use storeroom for a supply or mechanical room and the DLU65 for a room a person occupies.
22) Our spec calls for antimicrobial hardware in patient rooms - does anything here compete with the DLU65 on that?
The Sargent DLU65 is the one that carries it: the SG MicroShield antimicrobial powder coat is an option on the lock, on top of Grade 1 heavy duty construction and UL-cUL 3-hour fire rating. Among the cylindrical peers, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 offers Grade 1 vandal resistant construction and the Falcon K101 is Grade 1 heavy duty fire rated, but the antimicrobial coating is what separates the DLU65 for a healthcare privacy opening.
