Sure-Loc CT100 15 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Sure-Loc Cortina lever fit my existing door bore, or do I need to re-drill for a different backset?
No re-drilling. The Cortina leverset ships with an adjustable latch that sets to either a 2-3/8 inch or 2-3/4 inch backset (60-70mm), which covers both of the standard residential bore layouts. Set the latch to match what is already drilled and the lever mounts to the standard bored prep.
2) What door thickness does the Sure-Loc Cortina lever work on?
It covers doors from 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick (35-45mm). That takes in standard 1-3/8 inch interior doors and 1-3/4 inch entry doors. Anything thicker than 1-3/4 inches is outside the range.
3) Do I have to order the Cortina lever left hand or right hand?
Handing is not an ordering decision here. The Cortina lever is reversible, so the same unit works on a left or right hand door and you can stock one part number for a whole building.
4) Which Cortina lever function do I order for a bedroom, a closet, and a front door?
Four functions are offered. Closets and halls take Passage (latches, no lock). Bedrooms and baths take Privacy (interior push or turn lock). Exterior or lockable doors take Entry, which is keyed. Dummy is a fixed pull with no latch at all, for a false door or the inactive leaf of a pair.
5) If I'm doing several exterior doors in a house, can the Sure-Loc Cortina entry levers be keyed alike?
Yes. The keyed Entry Cortina levers come keyed alike in sets of four, so one key runs up to four openings without any additional keying work. If you need more than four openings on a single key, that is a larger set than the standard grouping covers.
6) Is the Sure-Loc Cortina lever rated for commercial traffic in an office building?
It is a residential product. The Cortina is a zinc die-cast tubular leverset built for homes and residential units. For commercial openings, look at a graded cylindrical lock instead, such as the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lever or the Hager 2525 Grade 2 entry lever, both of which are catalogued as commercial cylindrical locks.
7) Is the Emtek Cortina lever the same thing as the Sure-Loc Modern Cortina Lever?
They share the Cortina name but they are different products from different makers. The Emtek Classic Brass Leverset Cortina Lever is sold as a dummy pair in the Cortina series. The Sure-Loc Modern Cortina Lever is a zinc die-cast tubular leverset offered in dummy, passage, privacy and entry functions with a reversible, adjustable 2-3/8 inch to 2-3/4 inch backset. Do not order one expecting the trim or function range of the other.
8) What is a commercial-grade substitute for the Sure-Loc Modern Cortina Lever on an apartment corridor door?
The Cortina is a residential tubular leverset, so for a corridor opening that needs a graded commercial lock, step to a cylindrical lockset with a published ANSI grade. The Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. If the entry function is not needed, the Hager 2510 is the Grade 2 passage lever in the same door thickness range. Both are keyed or non-keyed commercial bodies rather than residential tubular sets.
9) The Cortina only fits doors up to 1-3/4 inch. What lever works on a thicker door?
The Sure-Loc Modern Cortina Lever fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch (35-45mm). For a thicker slab, the Deltana 6201 Manchester entry lever covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, and the Dexter C1000 Series asylum function covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. If the door is 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, the Arrow GL01 Grade 2 passage lock is built for that range.
10) The Cortina does not come in a classroom or storeroom function. What lever does?
The Sure-Loc Modern Cortina Lever is offered in dummy, passage, privacy and entry only. For keyed institutional functions, 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, the Cal-Royal AG03 is a classroom lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway and 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Dexter C1000 Series classroom is a Grade 1 clutching keyed lever for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.
11) What is a fire-rated alternative to the Sure-Loc Modern Cortina Lever passage function?
For an opening that requires a fire-rated lock, the Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty passage cylindrical lock with a fire rating, non-handed levers, and a 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range. The Corbin Russwin CL3110 is a Grade 1 vandal resistant passage/closet lever with a fire rating for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch.
12) Does the Cortina handle a handed door, or do I need a handed lever like the Baldwin 5103?
The Sure-Loc Modern Cortina Lever is reversible handing, so one part covers either swing. The Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy is ordered by hand instead, with separate left hand and right hand versions, so you must confirm the door hand before ordering that one. The Falcon B101 Grade 2 passage lever is another non-handed option.
13) What finishes does the Sure-Loc Cortina lever come in, and do all four functions come in all of them?
Three finishes: 15 Satin Nickel, FBL Flat Black and SB Satin Brass. Each one is offered across all four functions, Dummy, Passage, Privacy and Entry, so you can mix functions down a hallway and keep the finish consistent.
14) What else could I use instead of the Sure-Loc Cortina if I want a residential lever in the same functions?
For a straight residential equivalent, the Kwikset Breton is offered in both passage (200BRNL RDT) and privacy (300BRNL RDT) and carries the same 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range. If you want a decorative brass option in matching functions, the Baldwin Estate 5103 with the 5048 rose comes in passage, privacy and half dummy, with the half dummy handed left or right rather than reversible.
15) I need a dummy lever to match a Cortina-style look but on a heavy-traffic commercial door. What should I use?
The Sure-Loc Modern Cortina Lever dummy is a residential zinc set. For a commercial opening, the BEST 9K Series 1DT single dummy trim is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed cylindrical lever, and the BEST 7KC Series 1DT is the Grade 2 medium duty equivalent. The Accentra 455LN Augusta is another Grade 1 single dummy cylindrical lever, in the 5400 Series.
16) What is the closest residential alternative to the Sure-Loc Modern Cortina Lever for a bedroom or bath door?
The Cortina privacy function covers bed and bath. Comparable residential privacy leversets include the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever set, a Grade 3 privacy lock for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Baldwin Estate 5103 privacy lever with the 5048 rose. The Breton matches the Cortina door thickness range; the Baldwin is a heavier decorative trim.
17) If I only need a hall or closet lever, what is a simpler option than the Cortina passage?
For a non-keyed hall or closet opening, the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever is a Grade 3 passage set for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, the same thickness range the Sure-Loc Modern Cortina Lever fits. The Callan Asheville is a Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel, which matches the Cortina 15 Satin Nickel option, and the Bravura Atlanta with round trim is a Grade 2 passage leverset.
18) Can I use a keypad lever instead of the Cortina entry function?
Yes, if you want code access rather than a key. The Sure-Loc Modern Cortina Lever is non-electronic and its entry function is keyed alike in sets of four. For keypad access, the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock, the Emtek Classic Keypad Leverset is a keypad lever in the Classic series, and the Lockey 1150 is a mechanical keypad lever set with double combination in passage function fitting doors 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch.
19) Is a knob lockset an acceptable swap for the Cortina lever?
Only if lever operation is not required. The Sure-Loc Modern Cortina Lever uses a lever handle, which is what ADA-driven specs call for. Knob equivalents in the same functions include the Arrow MK02-TA Grade 1 privacy knob lock with a Tudor knob and a fire rating, and the Arrow HK11-BB turn-pushbutton entrance lock with a ball knob for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. Swapping to a knob changes the operation type, not just the look.
20) What entry lever should I look at if I also need a matching deadbolt on the same door?
The Sure-Loc Modern Cortina Lever entry function is sold as a leverset on its own. If you want the deadbolt packaged with the lever, the Callan Bennett is a Grade 3 entrance leverset supplied as a deadbolt combo. For a standalone entrance lever at the same grade level, the Callan Artino is a Grade 3 entrance leverset.
21) What is the Sure-Loc Cortina lever made of?
Solid die-cast zinc lever and trim. That is a cast handle rather than a hollow pressed one, which is what gives it its weight in the hand on an interior door.
22) Will the Cortina lever match the rest of my Sure-Loc hardware?
It belongs to the Sure-Loc Modern collection within the Cedar line, so the three finishes are shared across that line and the Cortina coordinates with the other trim in it.
23) Is the Sure-Loc Cortina a keypad or electronic lock?
No, it is fully mechanical. The Cortina is a bored cylindrical leverset with a key cylinder on the Entry function and no electronics. If you want code entry on the same kind of opening, the Delaney LP250 electronic keypad leverlock or the Emtek Classic keypad leverset are the alternatives.
