Tell L2010 - Grade 2 Passagr Lever Lockset

Yes. The Tell L2010 passage leverset covers doors from 1-3/8 inch up to 2 inch thick, so it works on older 1-3/8 inch interior doors as well as standard 1-3/4 inch commercial doors and 2 inch slabs. That range is wider than a lot of Grade 2 passage levers, which stop at 1-3/4 inch.

The L2010 comes with a 4-7/8 x 1-1/4 inch standard ASA strike, which is the common commercial frame prep. If the frame already has an ASA cutout of that size, the strike drops in with no new mortising. Frames prepped for a small round-corner residential strike will need the larger ASA cutout.

The Tell L2010 is a Grade 2 non-keyed cylindrical passage lever whose latch is retracted by the lever from either side at all times, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick. The closest match on the same grade and function is the Hager 2510 Withnell passage lever, also Grade 2 passage with a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range. Other Grade 2 passage leversets include the Falcon B101, which is medium duty and non-handed, and the Accentra 5301LN Augusta of the 5300 Series.

The Tell L2010 is a Grade 2 passage leverset. For heavier traffic, the Grade 1 passage options include the Falcon K101, heavy duty, fire rated, non-handed, covering doors 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch; the Falcon T101, heavy duty Grade 1 passage with pressure release technology; the Dexter C1000 passage with clutching levers for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors; and the Corbin Russwin CL3110, a vandal resistant Grade 1 passage lever, fire rated, for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors.

The Tell L2010 is a passage function lever with no locking at all, so it is wrong for a bath or bedroom. For privacy function, the Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with a Withnell lever for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton is a Grade 3 privacy lever set, and the Baldwin Estate 5103 is offered in a privacy lever with the 5048 rose.

The Tell L2010 is non-keyed, so it cannot secure an opening. For keyed cylindrical levers, the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial entry lever and the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a Withnell lever, both for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 entry/office lever.

The Tell L2010 covers 1-3/8 inch through 2 inch doors. Passage levers that also start at 1-3/8 inch include the Hager 2510 Grade 2, rated 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, the Falcon K101 Grade 1 at 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Dexter C1000 passage Grade 1 at 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Arrow GL01 Grade 2 Sierra lever passage lock begins at 1-3/4 inch, and the Design Hardware J75 Grade 2 passage lever is for 1-3/4 inch doors, so neither suits a 1-3/8 inch door.

Four: 626 satin chrome, 613 oil-rubbed bronze, 622 black, and 605 bright brass. All four are offered in both the 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inch backsets, so a property manager standardizing a building can keep one finish across doors with different preps.

Same function, different trim: the Hager 2510 Grade 2 passage lever with the Withnell design also covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, and the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 non-handed passage lever. The Accentra 5301LN Augusta and 4601LN are Grade 2 passage levers as well. For residential styling, Bravura's Atlanta, Orlando, Tampa and Miramar passage leversets are Grade 2.

No handing to specify. The L2010 is a passage lever operated from both sides with no locking mechanism, so ordering is just backset and finish. The only handed items in this category are half-dummy trims, like the Baldwin Estate 5103 left and right hand levers.

No. The Tell L2010 has a working latchbolt retracted by the lever from either side, so it latches the door closed. A dummy lever is fixed trim with no latch at all - examples are the BEST 7KC 1DT single dummy trim in Grade 2, the BEST 9K 1DT in Grade 1 heavy duty, the Accentra 455LN Augusta Grade 1 single dummy, the Callan Bentley BN5051 Grade 2 dummy lever, and the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy in left and right hand. Use those only on inactive or false doors.

The Tell L2010 is Grade 2 and listed for residential use. If a Grade 3 interior passage lever suits the opening, the Kwikset 200BRNL Breton passage lever set is Grade 3 for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Callan Asheville AH5011 is a Grade 3 passage leverset in satin nickel. Note the L2010 covers doors up to 2 inch thick, which the Kwikset Breton does not.

The Tell L2010 is a Grade 2 passage leverset and is U.L. Listed per its ANSI A156.2 Series 4000 Grade 2 description. Where the drawing calls specifically for a fire-rated cylindrical lock, peers carrying a fire rating include the Falcon K101 Grade 1 passage lock and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 Grade 1 vandal resistant passage lever. Confirm the opening's label requirements before substituting either way.

No. The Tell L2010 is non-keyed passage only, with the latch retracted by the lever from either side at all times and no code or key control. For code entry, the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination in passage function for doors 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch, the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock, and Emtek offers a Classic keypad leverset.

The L2010 has a removable thru-bolt. Thru-bolting ties the two roses together through the door for a firmer mount on abused doors; removing them gives a cleaner look where pull-off is not a concern. Either way it is the same lock, so the installer decides at the door.

The Tell L2010 is a cylindrical Grade 2 passage leverset offered in oil-rubbed bronze, satin chrome, black, and bright brass. For a more decorative look at the same passage function, Bravura offers Grade 2 passage leversets in the Atlanta and Orlando series with round trim, the Tampa series with square trim, and the Miramar in US4 satin brass. The Baldwin Estate 5103 passage lever with the 5048 rose is another decorative passage option.
