Sure-Loc Alder Grade 3 Lever, ADA Compliant

Reversible handing, so one lever handles left and right hand doors. You set it at install rather than specifying handing on the order.

The Alder entry function uses a 5 pin KW1 cylinder, which is the Kwikset keyway, so it can be keyed into an existing KW1 system. A 5 pin SC1 option is also offered if your building runs Schlage keyways instead. Entry levers ship keyed alike in sets of four, which is how most landlords buy them for a unit turn.

The Alder is a Grade 3 residential lever, which suits apartment interiors, unit entries and single-family work. For commercial corridors, offices and anything seeing constant public traffic, step up: the Hager 2510 is a Grade 2 passage lever rated 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, and the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lock covering 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch. Buying Grade 3 for a high-traffic commercial opening is the usual mistake.

The Kwikset 300BRNL RDT Breton privacy lever set is Grade 3 with a privacy/bed/bath function and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, the same grade and thickness window as the Alder privacy lever. The Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with 5048 rose is another privacy/bed/bath option. The Hager 2540 carries a Withnell lever at Grade 2 on doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, which reaches thicker doors than the Alder's range.

The Alder is a residential Grade 3 lever, so for a commercial corridor or tenant space step up to a Grade 1 or Grade 2 cylindrical lever. The Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lock with non-handed levers, fire rated, on doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. The Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage/closet lever, fire rated, for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. On the entry side, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors.

The Alder entry lever is built around a 5 pin KW1 keyway with a 5 pin SC1 option. If the building is keyed to Schlage C, the Cal-Royal AG00 is an entrance lever, Grade 2, with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different and a 2-3/8 inch backset, on doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Cal-Royal AUS00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office lever with a solid brass forged body over the same 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door range, closer to the Alder's grade.

The Alder covers dummy, passage, privacy and entry only, so a keyed classroom or storeroom opening needs a different lock. The Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever is Grade 2 with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different and a 2-3/4 inch backset, which falls inside the Alder's adjustable 2-3/8 inch to 2-3/4 inch backset range. For storeroom, the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lockset with a deadlocking latchbolt on doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom lock with the Withnell lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Dexter C1000 classroom lever is Grade 1 with clutching for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.

Not if ADA operation is the reason for the lever. The Alder is a lever that meets ADA requirements; a knob is turned rather than pushed down. The Arrow MK02-TA is a privacy cylindrical lock with a Tudor knob, non-keyed, fire rated, for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Arrow HK11-BB is a turn-pushbutton entrance cylindrical lock with a ball knob and conventional cylinder for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Both are the same cylindrical bored family, but the trim is a knob, so they are not drop-in answers for an opening specified with a lever.

The Alder is a Grade 3 residential lever in zinc. For a common corridor or laundry room taking constant cycles, the Falcon T101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever with pressure release technology in the T Series, and the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lock rated for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. At the middle, the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 medium duty passage lever and the BEST 7KC single dummy trim is Grade 2 medium duty. Keep the Alder on the unit interiors and move up a grade where the door is shared.

The Alder covers 1-3/4 inches, so it fits. Whether it should is the real question: it is a Grade 3 residential lever. If this is a commercial opening, the Design Hardware X75 is a Grade 1 passage lever built specifically for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant fire rated passage lever for 1-3/4 to 2 inch. Those are the right call for a commercial corridor.

Yes, the Alder is built to meet ADA requirements. It is a lever rather than a knob, which is the operable-hardware point ADA turns on. If you are specifying for a facility, note this is a residential Grade 3 lever; commercial openings under a spec usually want a higher grade.

Yes. In Grade 3, the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton is a passage lever for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors and the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton is the matching privacy version in the same thickness range, so you can mix functions across a unit. Callan also makes Grade 3 leversets: the Artino and Bennett in entrance function and the Asheville in passage. The Cal-Royal AUS00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office lever with a solid brass forged body covering 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors.

Entry levers are keyed alike in sets of four, so a four-unit or four-door order opens on one key without a locksmith rekeying them. Cylinder is 5 pin KW1, with a 5 pin SC1 option. For the interior doors in those same units, pair the entry levers with the privacy function for bed and bath and passage for halls and closets, all in the same Satin Nickel or Flat Black finish.

The Alder entry lever uses a 5 pin KW1 cylinder with push-button locking and is keyed alike in sets of four, so each building needs keys cut and tracked. Code-entry levers in the same bored-door format include the Delaney LP250 electronic keypad leverlock at Grade 2, the Emtek Classic keypad leverset, and the Lockey 1150 heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination in passage function, which fits doors 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch. The Lockey is mechanical, so it needs no power or batteries at the door.

The Alder dummy is offered in 15 Satin Nickel and FBL Flat Black with all metal zinc parts. The Callan Bentley CLN-BN5051 is a Grade 2 dummy lever, one grade above the Alder's Grade 3. The BEST 7KC Series 1DT single dummy trim is a Grade 2 medium duty non-keyed cylindrical lever, and the BEST 9K Series 1DT is Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed. Note how they are sold: the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy is handed, BAL-5103-LDM left hand and BAL-5103-RDM right hand, while the Emtek Arts and Crafts dummy ships as a pair.

The Alder is non-electronic, a mechanical bored lever set, so the opening needs no power, transfer hinge, or wire run. The Corbin Russwin CL33903 is a Grade 1 fail safe electrified cylindrical lever lock at 12VAC/DC with an NZ lever and D rose for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, which requires power at the door and an access control decision behind it. If the goal is keyless without wiring, the Lockey 1150 is a mechanical keypad lever set.

The Alder comes in 15 Satin Nickel and FBL Flat Black with zinc construction. If the look needs to go further, the Bravura Miramar BV940-106 is a Grade 2 passage leverset with round trim in US4 Satin Brass, and Bravura also offers the Atlanta and Orlando with round trim and the Tampa with square trim, all Grade 2 passage. The Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever uses the 5048 rose. These differ from the Alder in trim style and rose shape, so confirm the rose footprint covers the existing bore marks before swapping a single door in a run.

Both are dummy function cylindrical levers, but they are not the same class of product. The Accentra 455LN Augusta is a heavy duty Grade 1 single dummy in the 5400 Series, while the Alder is a Grade 3 residential lever in zinc. The Accentra 5301LN Augusta is Grade 2 passage in the 5300 Series and the 4601LN is Grade 2 passage with Augusta trim in the 4600 Series. The Augusta levers share the trim design across those series, so a building standardized on Augusta trim keeps a consistent look while the grade changes with the series.

Only on a thicker door. The Arrow GL01 is a Grade 2 passage function cylindrical lock with a Sierra lever, non-keyed, in the GL Series, and it is built for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. The Alder passage lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. They overlap only at 1-3/4 inch, so on a 1-3/8 inch interior door the Alder applies and the GL01 does not.

Privacy function unlocks from outside in an emergency and is meant for a bed or bath door, which is what the Alder privacy lever covers. For a utility or institutional room that should not be unlocked from the occupied side, the Dexter C1000 asylum lock is Grade 1 asylum/institution/utility function for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. The Arrow MK33-BD-CS is a Grade 2 heavy duty asylum lock with a ball knob and conventional cylinder in Schlage C keyway, so confirm the knob trim is acceptable if the opening calls for a lever.

All metal parts, zinc throughout. There are no plastic internals in the chassis. It is a tubular cylindrical lock, the standard bored-lock construction, and non-electronic.
