Tell GMLDLL-AL – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What kind of door is the Tell GMLDLL storefront deadlatch lever handle meant for?
Aluminum storefront glass doors that already have a deadlatch in the door. The GMLDLL lever is the inside trim that retracts that latch, so it goes on openings where the latching hardware is already in place. It is not a cylindrical lockset for a wood or hollow metal door.
2) Do I have to order the Tell GMLDLL lever left hand or right hand?
No. The GMLDLL is non-handed. Handing is reversed in the field using the included cam plug, so one part covers both swings and you can stock a single item for a run of storefront doors.
3) Does the Tell GMLDLL storefront lever take a key cylinder?
No, it is non-keyed. The GMLDLL is inside trim only, used to retract the deadlatch from the secure side. Keyed access from the exterior comes from the cylinder in the deadlatch itself, not from this lever.
4) I need a lever for an interior office door, not a storefront - what should I order instead of the Tell GMLDLL?
The Tell GMLDLL is built for storefront glass aluminum frame doors with a deadlatch and is non-keyed, so it will not serve a bored interior door. For a keyed office door, the Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 cylindrical lever with entry/office function, and the Cal-Royal AUS00 is a Grade 3 entrance/office lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. For an interior door that needs no locking at all, the Hager 2510 is a Grade 2 passage lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch.
5) Can a standard cylindrical passage leverset be used instead of the Tell GMLDLL storefront deadlatch lever handle on an aluminum glass door?
No. The Tell GMLDLL is a lever handle that retracts an existing deadlatch already installed in a storefront glass aluminum frame door, and it is non-keyed. A cylindrical passage lockset such as the Falcon K101 or the Arrow GL01 carries its own latch and bores into the door face, so it is intended for a door prepped for a cylindrical lock rather than an aluminum stile with a deadlatch. If the opening is a glass aluminum storefront with a deadlatch already in place, the GMLDLL is the lever trim that fits it.
6) Does the Tell GMLDLL need to be ordered left hand or right hand like a Baldwin half dummy?
No. The Tell GMLDLL is non-handed and the included cam plug reverses the handing in the field, so one part number covers both left and right hand storefront doors in aluminum or duranodic finish. By contrast, some lever trim is ordered handed from the factory - the Baldwin Estate 5103 half dummy is sold as a left hand item and a right hand item under separate part numbers.
7) Is the cam plug included with the Tell GMLDLL lever, or do I order it separately?
The cam plug ships with the lever. It is what sets the handing, so nothing extra is needed to reverse the handle for the opposite swing.
8) Why use a lever instead of a thumbturn or paddle on a storefront door?
The GMLDLL lever is shaped to keep fingers clear of the jamb and it operates without grasping, using a simple downward push to retract the latch. That matters on high traffic entries and on doors where users have their hands full.
9) I manage a retail center with mixed storefront doors. Will one part number cover all of them?
For the inside deadlatch trim, yes in most cases. The GMLDLL is non-handed and field reversible with the cam plug, so the only choice left is finish: aluminum or duranodic dark bronze. Pick the finish that matches the door frames on each storefront.
10) Is the Tell GMLDLL a keyed lock, or do I need something keyed for an exterior entrance?
The Tell GMLDLL is non-keyed - it is the inside lever trim that retracts the deadlatch by pressing down, with a cam plug for reversing the handing. If the opening needs key control, keyed options in cylindrical format include the Cal-Royal AG05 Grade 2 storeroom lever with a deadlocking latchbolt for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and the Hager 2580 Grade 2 storeroom lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch.
11) What is the difference between the Tell GMLDLL and a dummy lever?
A dummy lever is fixed trim with no latch action - the BEST 7KC single dummy trim and the Callan Bentley dummy lever are pull-only and do not operate a latch. The Tell GMLDLL is operative: a downward movement of the lever retracts the deadlatch already installed in the storefront door, and the lever is shaped to keep fingers away from the jamb and allow operation without grasping.
12) We want code entry on an aluminum storefront door - is the Tell GMLDLL an option or do we need something else?
The Tell GMLDLL is a mechanical lever trim with no keypad; it simply retracts an existing storefront deadlatch from the inside. For pushbutton code entry on a lever, the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with double combination fitting doors 1-1/8 inch to 2 inch thick, and the Delaney LP250 is a Grade 2 electronic keypad leverlock. Confirm the door prep matches the keypad set before ordering, since those are lever locksets rather than storefront deadlatch trim.
13) Is the Tell GMLDLL an ANSI Grade 1 lockset for a high traffic commercial entrance?
The Tell GMLDLL is cast aluminum lever trim for a storefront deadlatch rather than a graded cylindrical lockset. Where a project drawing calls out a graded cylindrical lock on a swing door, heavy duty Grade 1 options include the Falcon T101 passage lever and the Corbin Russwin CL3110 vandal resistant passage lever for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, which also carries a fire rating.
14) What is the Tell GMLDLL lever made of?
Cast aluminum, finished in either clear aluminum or dark bronze. That keeps it consistent with the aluminum storefront door it mounts to.
