Exit Device Trims

Access from the exterior:

Panic exit bars are designed the same in which you will always have a manual exit from the building, that choice is easy. However it is not as easy to decide if and how to allow access from the exterior.

Depending on the purpose of the door you may decide to not have any door trim on the outside. If the door is not a heavily used exterior door you may use a crash bar with cylinder lock access and put a dummy pull handle on the outside. This would result in key access only and automatic locking as soon as the key is removed from the door. If the door is heavily used outside trim such as knob or lever handles can be used. In this case the handle would be locked or unlocked and general access can be allowed. Lastly for higher security properties that must allow general access electronic access can be paired with all of the surface mount panic exit bars. This has nearly unlimited variations of access possibilities.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are exit device trims?

Exit device trims are the outside hardware components that work with panic devices, allowing controlled entry while maintaining free egress inside. They include levers, paddles, pulls, or escutcheons. At National Lock Supply, we provide trims designed to meet ADA accessibility standards and to pair seamlessly with UL-listed exit hardware.

How do trims relate to deadlatches and panic devices?

Trims are mounted on the exterior of the door and engage with the latch mechanism of panic devices. They allow keyed or lever entry from the outside, while the inside panic bar always provides instant exit. This ensures security on the entry side but unrestricted emergency egress.

What types of trims are available?

The main options include lever trims (ADA-friendly), paddle trims (push-down operation), pull handles, thumbpiece trims, and escutcheon trims. Each type is chosen based on traffic level, security needs, and building codes.

Are trims universal?

No. Exit device trims are brand- and model-specific to ensure proper fit and function. A trim designed for a rim exit device may not fit a vertical rod exit device, making correct product pairing essential.

Are they ADA compliant?

Yes. Lever trims and paddle trims are specifically designed for operation without tight grasping, pinching, or twisting, making them compliant with ADA/ICC accessibility codes.

Where are exit trims commonly used?

They are found on schools, universities, hospitals, retail storefronts, and commercial buildings, providing exterior access control while maintaining panic hardware egress.

What finishes are available?

Standard finishes include Satin Chrome, Stainless Steel, Dark Bronze, and Matte Black, chosen to coordinate with other hardware.

Can trims be keyed?

Yes. Many lever trims accept mortise or rim cylinders for integration into SC1, KW1, SFIC, or LFIC master key systems, ensuring compatibility with existing key hierarchies.

What functions are offered?

Exit trims are available in passage (free entry), storeroom (key entry only), classroom, and nightlatch functions, matching ANSI standards and allowing security customization.

Why buy exit trims from National Lock Supply?
