Accentra YAL-AU-5329LN-626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the communicating function on the Accentra 5329LN lever lock actually do, and where would I use it?
Communicating function is for a door between two spaces that both need controlled access, like adjoining hotel rooms, connected classrooms, or paired offices. The 5329LN Augusta is a keyed single cylinder cylindrical lever lock, so the key controls the locking from the cylinder side while the lever retracts the latch. If what you actually need is a standard classroom door off a corridor, that is a classroom function lock, not communicating.
2) Will the Accentra 5329LN fit a 1-3/8 inch door?
No. The 5329LN adjusts from 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch thickness as supplied, so a 1-3/8 inch door is outside its range. Accentra will build it for 2-1/4 inch doors to order. For a thinner opening you would want something like the Hager 2510, which covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, or the Falcon K101, listed at 1-3/8 inch to 2-1/4 inch.
3) My doors are prepped for a 2-3/8 inch backset. Can I still use the 5329LN?
Yes. The 5329LN Augusta ships standard with a 2-3/4 inch backset, but extension links are available to order for 2-3/8 inch, 3-3/4 inch, and 5 inch backsets. You have to specify the backset with the order, since the standard carton comes 2-3/4. Note that 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 are the two normal commercial backsets, so if you are unsure, measure from the door edge to the center of the bore.
4) Will the Accentra 5329LN latch into my existing strike?
The latchbolt is a 1/2 inch stainless steel throw, and the standard strike is a 1-1/4 inch curved lip sized for a 1-3/4 inch door. Other lip lengths are available to order, and all strikes are reversible. If your frame already carries an ANSI strike prep with a 1/2 inch throw cylindrical latch, this drops in. If your existing strike lip is longer or shorter than 1-1/4 inch because of frame reveal, order the matching lip rather than reusing the old strike.
5) Do I need to specify handing when ordering the Accentra 5329LN Augusta lever?
No handing to specify. The 5329LN is non-handed and reverses in the field, and the front is universal for both flat and beveled door edges. That is one part number covering left and right hand openings, which is why it works well when you are standardizing a building and do not want to track handing per door.
6) Is the Accentra 5329LN lever lock fire rated?
UL and cUL fire rated up to 3 hours, and certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.2 Series 4000 Grade 2. It is also windstorm certified, subject to your local code. That combination covers most labeled corridor and cross-corridor openings in schools, healthcare, and government buildings.
7) What cylinder and keying comes with the Accentra 5329LN, and can I get it 7-pin?
It comes with a brass 6-pin keyed-random cylinder and two keys. A 7-pin cylinder is not offered in this series, so if your facility is standardized on a 7-pin masterkey system this lock will not join it as supplied. Keyed random also means each lock ships on its own key unless you order keying otherwise, so specify keyed alike or your masterkey system on the order if you need doors to share a key.
8) I need a keyed classroom lever, not a communicating one. What should I order instead?
Communicating is a two-sided function for a door between rooms, so it is the wrong pick for a standard classroom door off a corridor. For that, the Cal-Royal AG03 is a Grade 2 classroom lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway and a 2-3/4 inch backset, which matches the same door prep. If you want classroom security, where the teacher can lock the corridor side from inside, the Dexter C1000 classroom security lever is a Grade 1 option.
9) What is the closest Grade 2 cylindrical classroom lever lock to the Accentra 5329LN Augusta?
The Cal-Royal AG03 classroom lever is the nearest match in the AG Series - a Grade 2 cylindrical classroom lever with a 6-pin Schlage C keyway, keyed different, on a 2-3/4 inch backset, which is the same backset the Accentra 5329LN Augusta runs as standard. The 5329LN is a communicating function with a brass 6-pin keyed-random cylinder and two keys furnished; the AG03 ships on a Schlage C keyway, so on a facility already keyed to Schlage C the Cal-Royal drops into the existing key system while the Accentra cylinder would need to be keyed to match.
10) I need a Grade 1 classroom lever instead of Grade 2 for a high-traffic school corridor - what is the equivalent?
The Dexter C1000 Series classroom cylindrical lever lock is Grade 1, clutching, keyed, and fits doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch thick. The Accentra 5329LN Augusta is a Grade 2 communicating classroom lever that adjusts from 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors as furnished. Two things change if you move to the Dexter: the door thickness window shifts down, so a 2 inch door that the Accentra covers as standard is outside the C1000 classroom range, and the clutching lever mechanism spins free under force rather than transmitting it into the lock body.
11) Is a storeroom lever the same thing as the Accentra 5329LN Augusta communicating lock?
No - they lock differently. The Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever lockset with a deadlocking latchbolt for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch, and the Hager 2580 is a Grade 2 storeroom cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever for doors 1-3/8 to 2 inch. On a storeroom function the outside lever is always locked and a key retracts the latch. The Accentra 5329LN Augusta is a communicating function - it is built for a pair of doors between two adjoining rooms, not for a single secured store. If the opening is a supply closet or an equipment room, order the storeroom lever; substituting the communicating lock leaves you with the wrong locking behavior.
12) What keeps someone from carding the latch on the 5329LN?
A guardbolt. It deadlocks the latchbolt whenever the door is closed, which is what stops a credit card or shim from retracting it. The guardbolt is standard on every locking function in the 5300 Series, so you do not order it separately.
13) Grade 1 or Grade 2 cylindrical lever lock for a school corridor?
The 5329LN Augusta is Grade 2, which is the normal specification for offices, multi-tenant residential, and moderate-traffic institutional doors. For a high-abuse opening, a main entrance, or a corridor that sees constant student traffic, step up to Grade 1. In cylindrical levers we carry Grade 1 options like the Corbin Russwin CL3100 Series, which is vandal resistant and fire rated for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors, the Dexter C1000 Series in classroom and classroom security functions, and the Falcon K Series.
14) Can the Accentra 5329LN be used on an X-ray room or other lead-lined door?
No. Lead shielding is not offered on the 5300 Series, so it is not suitable for radiology or imaging suite doors that require a lead-lined lock body. Those openings need a lock specifically built with lead shielding.
15) The door does not need to be keyed - what takes the place of the Accentra 5329LN Augusta on a non-keyed opening?
For a non-keyed opening in the same Grade 2 cylindrical class, the Falcon B101 is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical passage lever in the B Series with a non-handed design, and the Hager 2510 is a Grade 2 passage cylindrical lever with the Withnell lever for doors 1-3/8 to 2 inch. Both are passage function, meaning the lever always retracts the latch and there is no locking at all. The Accentra 5329LN Augusta is a keyed lock with a single cylinder and a guardbolt that deadlocks the latchbolt when the door is closed - the passage units give up both the key control and the guardbolt.
16) What lever lock should I use for a Grade 1 vandal resistant opening instead of the Accentra 5329LN Augusta?
The Corbin Russwin CL3110 in the CL3100 Series is a Grade 1 vandal resistant cylindrical lever lock, fire rated, for doors 1-3/4 to 2 inch - the same door thickness window the Accentra 5329LN Augusta covers as standard. The CL3110 is passage/closet function with no key, so it suits an abuse-prone corridor or restroom door where nothing needs to lock. Where the opening does need key control, the 5329LN is the keyed one of the two, with a brass 6-pin cylinder and UL/cUL fire rating up to 3 hours.
17) Can I use a keypad lever lock in place of the Accentra 5329LN Augusta to avoid issuing keys?
There are mechanical keyless levers that mount on similar openings. The Lockey 2835 is a mechanical pushbutton keyless lever lock with passage function and ADA compliance, fitting doors 1 3/16 to 2 inch, and the Lockey 1150 is a heavy duty mechanical keypad lever set with an adjustable backset for doors 1-1/8 to 2 inch. The Delaney LP250 is an electronic keypad leverlock rated Grade 2. Note what changes: the Lockey units are code-entry passage function, so there is no cylinder to key into a master system, while the Accentra 5329LN Augusta is a keyed single-cylinder lock with a 2-3/4 inch standard backset and UL/cUL fire rating up to 3 hours - a factor on a rated door.
18) For an office door that needs a pushbutton lock rather than a communicating function, what is the alternative?
The Falcon B511CP6D is a Grade 2 medium duty cylindrical lever lock in entry/office function, and the Hager 2525 is a Grade 2 commercial cylindrical entry lock with a lever handle for doors 1-3/8 to 2 inch. Entry/office function lets the occupant lock the outside lever from inside without a key, which is the usual want on a private office. The Accentra 5329LN Augusta is a communicating function keyed lock in the 5300 Series with the Augusta lever - it is designed for the door between two rooms, so it is not the right choice for a corridor office entry.
19) What is the difference between the Accentra 5329LN Augusta and an asylum function cylindrical lock?
An asylum function locks or unlocks by key from both sides with no free egress by lever - the Dexter C1000 asylum (F87) is Grade 1 for doors 1-3/8 to 2 inch, and the Arrow MK33-BD-CS is a Grade 2 heavy duty asylum lock with a ball knob on a Schlage C keyway. The Accentra 5329LN Augusta is a communicating function lever, non-handed, with a brass 6-pin cylinder. Asylum function is specified in detention, behavioral health, and utility rooms; on any egress door check the local code before choosing it, since neither lever nor knob releases without a key.
20) The opening needs access control - what electrified lever replaces the Accentra 5329LN Augusta?
The Corbin Russwin CL33903 is a Grade 1 fail safe electrified cylindrical lever lock in the CL33900 Series, 12VAC/DC, for doors 1-3/4 to 2 inch - the same thickness window the Accentra 5329LN Augusta covers as standard. Fail safe means the lever unlocks when power is removed, so it is used where egress or fire alarm release governs. Going electrified means running power to the door leaf; the 5329LN is a purely mechanical communicating lever with a brass 6-pin cylinder and needs no power at the opening.
21) I need a lever for doors thicker than 2 inches - what covers that range?
The Falcon K101 is a Grade 1 heavy duty non-keyed passage cylindrical lock in the K Series, fire rated, covering doors 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch. That upper end reaches thicker leaves than the Accentra 5329LN Augusta handles as furnished, which adjusts from 1-3/4 to 2 inch, though the Accentra is available for 2-1/4 inch doors to order. The trade is function: the K101 is passage with no cylinder, while the 5329LN is a keyed communicating lever.
22) Is the Accentra 5329LN Augusta interchangeable with an exit device lever trim?
No. The Corbin Russwin 585F715 is a Grade 1 lock lever for the ED8000 pushpad exit device in the CL3300 Series for doors 1-3/4 to 2 inch, and the Imperial USA ED-EL500HD is a heavy duty escutcheon lever trim with entry function in the ED-500 Series. Both are trim that mounts to an exit device and depends on that device for latching. The Accentra 5329LN Augusta is a complete cylindrical lock with its own 1/2 inch stainless steel throw latchbolt, guardbolt, and strike with a 1-1/4 inch curved lip. If the door already has a pushpad device, you need the trim, not the lock.
23) What finishes does the Accentra 5329LN Augusta lever come in?
Ten orderable finishes: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613E dark oxidized satin bronze equivalent, 619 satin nickel, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, 693 black painted, plus black suede and white suede powder coat. PVD is standard on 605 and 606, which is the one to pick for exterior or high-humidity openings where a lacquered brass would tarnish. 626 satin chrome is the usual choice when you are matching existing commercial hardware in a school or office.
24) What is the lock body on the Accentra 5300 Series made of?
The mechanism is heavy-gauge steel, zinc-plated and dichromated for corrosion resistance, with a stainless steel latchbolt throwing 1/2 inch. The cylinder is brass. That is a commercial-duty build, not a residential tubular lockset.
25) Can I match the Augusta lever across the rest of the doors in the building with non-keyed functions?
The Augusta lever design runs across the Accentra 5300 Series, so passage, privacy, and other functions in that series carry the same lever and rose for a consistent look on doors that do not need a key. Order all of them in the same finish code, since the finish is what usually breaks the match, not the lever style.
26) What matches the Accentra 5329LN Augusta on the inactive leaf or a closet door in the same room?
For an opening that needs the lever look without any latching mechanism, 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 the Grade 1 heavy duty equivalent. The Callan Bentley is a Grade 2 dummy lever. Dummy trim is surface mounted and pulls only - it does not latch, so it belongs on an inactive leaf or a ball-catch door. The Accentra 5329LN Augusta is the working lock, with a 1/2 inch stainless steel throw latchbolt and a guardbolt.
27) What do I use for a bathroom or bedroom door on the same project as the Accentra 5329LN Augusta?
Privacy function is the right call there. The Hager 2540 is a Grade 2 privacy cylindrical lock with the Withnell lever for doors 1-3/8 to 2 inch, and the Kwikset 300BRNL Breton privacy lever is Grade 3 for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. Privacy locks push-button from inside and release with an emergency tool from outside, with no cylinder to key. The Accentra 5329LN Augusta is a keyed communicating lever with a single cylinder, which is not what you want on a restroom.
28) Which Grade 2 lever locks come closest to the Accentra 5329LN Augusta finish range for matching existing doors?
For matching, look at what each line offers in the same commercial finishes. The Accentra 5329LN Augusta comes in 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613E dark oxidized satin bronze, 619 satin nickel, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, 693 black painted, and black and white suede powder coats, with PVD standard on 605 and 606. Among Grade 2 peers, the Hager 2510 uses the Withnell lever design and the Cal-Royal AG05 is a Grade 2 storeroom lever, while the Bravura Miramar passage leverset is offered in US4 satin brass. Lever style differs across all of these, so if the goal is a consistent look down a corridor, staying within one lever design matters as much as the finish code.
