Sure-Loc Modern Basel 28 Degree Lever

The Basel 28 degree lever fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. For an opening thicker than that, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock covers 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch. If the door is at the thin end instead, the Lockey 1150 keypad lever set runs from 1-1/8 inch, and the Dexter C1000 asylum function covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch.

The Basel 28 degree lever is non-keyed; Sure-Loc's own answer is to pair the passage lever with a Modern Deadbolt for locking. If a single keyed lockset is preferred over a lever plus deadbolt, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial entry lock with a lever handle for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Cal-Royal AG00 is a Grade 2 entrance lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different on a 2-3/8 inch backset for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Dexter C1000 entry/office is a Grade 1 clutching keyed lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Callan Bennett is an entrance leverset supplied as a deadbolt combo if the two-point approach is what the opening wants.

The Basel 28 degree lever is a non-keyed zinc leverset offered in passage and privacy functions, and Sure-Loc rates the Basel line for residential use. Where the opening calls for a commercial-rated passage leverset instead, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lock that fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick and carries a fire rating, and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, also fire rated. Both are latch-only passage like the Basel, so the door swings the same way; the difference is the duty rating behind the trim and the door thickness range each one covers.

The Basel 28 degree lever is made in a privacy version with push-button locking, so the same lever design covers the bath door. If a different trim or a graded privacy set is wanted, the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever comes with the 5048 rose, and the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 privacy lever set for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. All four are non-keyed privacy sets; they differ in lever styling, grade, and the door thicknesses each covers.

The Basel 28 degree lever is a residential-rated non-keyed leverset. For an opening that has to carry a fire rating, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage lever with a fire rating, the Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 passage lever also fire rated for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, and on the privacy side the Arrow MK02-TA is a fire rated privacy set, though it is a Tudor knob rather than a lever, which changes the ADA picture on a facility door. Kwikset also builds the 200DL Delta passage in a version with a round corner adjustable 20 minute UL latch.

Several parts sit near the Basel 28 degree lever without replacing it. The Accentra 107S is a Schlage cylinder adapter kit for Yale hardware, not a lockset. The Corbin Russwin 585F715 is a lock lever for an ED8000 pushpad exit device, trim for an exit device rather than a standalone lock. The Codelocks CL410 and CL415 tubular latchbolt is a latch component. The Imperial USA ED-EL500HD is heavy duty escutcheon lever trim in entry function, again trim rather than a complete cylindrical set. And any dummy lever, such as the BEST 7KC 1DT, has no latch at all, so it will not close a door that needs to stay shut. The Basel 28 is a complete non-keyed cylindrical leverset in passage or privacy.

Handing is not a decision here. The Basel 28 lever is reversible, so one part number covers a left or right hand door and you flip it at install. That is the difference between it and something like the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy, which is ordered as a specific left hand or right hand part.

Two finishes, Satin Nickel (15) and Flat Black (FBL), each available as passage or privacy. That means a bedroom and its closet can run the same lever in the same finish, one with the push-button and one without, which is what a property manager standardizing a unit usually wants.

The Basel passage lever is meant to be paired with the Sure-Loc Modern Deadbolt for the locking half of the opening, so the lever handles the latch and the deadbolt handles security and keying. Match on the finish, Satin Nickel or Flat Black. Because the Basel itself is non-keyed, the deadbolt is where any keying or keyed-alike request gets applied.

The Basel 28 degree lever is built as an operating lever in passage and privacy functions, so it always retracts a latch. For a fixed pull-side lever with no latch, the BEST 9K 1DT is a Grade 1 heavy duty single dummy trim lever and the BEST 7KC 1DT is the Grade 2 medium duty single dummy. The Accentra 455LN Augusta is a Grade 1 single dummy in the 5400 series, the Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever, and Baldwin lists the Estate 5103 half dummy in left hand and right hand versions, which matters because a half dummy is ordered to the side of the door it sits on. Emtek supplies dummy levers in pairs, including the Arts and Crafts and Hammered levers, for double doors where both faces need trim.

It is not a like-for-like swap. The Basel 28 degree lever is a non-electronic mechanical leverset with no keyed function, so nothing has to be programmed or powered. A keypad lever changes both the credential and, in some cases, the door prep: the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination in passage function that fits doors 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch and needs no power, while the Delaney LP250 and the Emtek Classic keypad leverset are electronic keypad locks. If the goal is simply a code on the door in the same passage opening, the mechanical Lockey 1150 is the nearest match to how the Basel behaves.

The Basel 28 degree lever is a modern lever with a 28 degree turn radius, offered in satin nickel and flat black. Bravura builds several Grade 2 passage leversets with different trim shapes: the Tampa uses square trim, while the Atlanta, the Orlando, and the Miramar use round trim, the Miramar in US4 satin brass. Design Hardware offers a flat lever passage set in two duty levels, the J75 at Grade 2 and the X75 at Grade 1, both for 1-3/4 inch doors. On the traditional side, the Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever comes on the 5048 rose. All are latch-only passage sets like the Basel, so the choice is trim shape, grade, and door thickness.

The Basel 28 degree lever covers the non-keyed interior doors well: passage for halls and closets, privacy with push-button locking for bedrooms and baths, reversible handing so one part covers both swings, in satin nickel or flat black to keep the unit consistent. It carries no keyed function, so the unit entry and any storage or mechanical door that has to be secured takes a different lock. For those, the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever, 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 Accentra 5301LN Augusta is a Grade 2 passage lever if a commercial-grade passage is wanted in the corridors while the Basel stays inside the unit.

The Basel 28 degree lever is a non-keyed residential-rated set, so it does not cover functions that depend on a key or a specific institutional behavior. For those openings, the Dexter C1000 is a Grade 1 clutching keyed lever in classroom and in classroom security functions for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and in asylum function for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Cal-Royal offers the AG03 classroom lever, Grade 2, with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway keyed different on a 2-3/4 inch backset. The Arrow MK33-BD-CS is a heavy duty Grade 2 asylum lock with a ball knob and a conventional cylinder in Schlage C keyway.

The lever only rotates 28 degrees to retract the latch, rather than the 40-plus degree swing of a conventional lever. Less wrist travel to open the door. It is a comfort and feel difference on a residential opening, not a rating, and it does not change how the latch or the strike is prepped.

Zinc, both the substrate and the finished body. That is normal for a residential-duty decorative leverset and it is why the Basel suits interior doors rather than a high-cycle commercial opening. If your spec calls for forged brass, the Cal-Royal AUS00 is a Grade 3 lever with a solid brass forged body.

The Basel 28 is built as passage and privacy, so a dummy is a separate part. If you need a non-functioning pull for an inactive leaf or a false door, the dummy leversets ZenSupply carries include the Callan Bentley Grade 2 dummy lever, the BEST 7KC single dummy trim, and Emtek's Classic Cortina dummy pair. Those are different trim families, so the look will not match the Basel exactly.
