Accentra AU-656F-626-RHR-LC – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the Accentra 656F Augusta exit device trim handed, and how do I order the right hand?
Handing matters. The 656F Augusta lever is ordered left hand or right hand, and it is not field reversible on the order form, so the hand has to be right when it ships. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your left it is left hand, hinges on your right is right hand. Both hands are offered in 626 satin chrome and in 630 satin stainless steel. If you want a trim you can flip on site instead, the Sargent 704ET night latch trim is field reversible.
2) How does the Augusta 656F lever behave when the door is locked, and can I use it on a classroom door?
The 656F is a classroom/storeroom lever trim. Locked, the lever free-wheels, it spins without retracting the latch, so yanking on it does not break the trim or open the door. The key in the rim cylinder is what retracts the latch. That covers ANSI Function 08 and 09 applications, which is the classroom and storeroom pattern used on school and back-of-house doors. Egress is always by the push bar from the inside.
3) Can I put the Accentra 656F trim on a fire rated door?
The 656F Augusta trim is not fire rated, so do not use it on a labeled fire door opening. On a fire rated opening the whole assembly, device and trim, has to carry the label. Use the 656F on non-labeled classroom, storeroom, office and exterior doors instead.
4) What lever exit trim should I use instead of the Accentra 656F Augusta if the opening needs access control?
The 656F Augusta is a mechanical trim operated by a key in a rim cylinder. For a card reader or access control system, an electrified trim is the substitution. Command Access offers the ET15, ET25 and ET26 electrified exit trims with 12V/24V operation and fail safe/fail secure options, with the ET26 listed as Grade 1 construction and field reversible, plus the 230L for Von Duprin V96/36/23 Series devices. Falcon lists the 510L-FSA/FSE as a 25 Series electrified heavy duty lever trim, and Von Duprin the E360L-BE-03 as a Grade 1 electric passage trim with 03 lever, fail safe, for 33/35A Series devices. Dormakaba covers standalone credential entry with the E-Plex 201U electronic pushbutton exit trim and the PowerPlex P201U for rim, mortise and SVR devices.
5) What exit device trim works instead of the Accentra 656F Augusta on a narrow stile aluminum door?
The 656F Augusta escutcheon measures 3 inches wide by 10-1/4 inches, which suits a wide stile opening. For narrow stile aluminum, BEST lists the 2000 Series exit only pull trim with cover plate and the 2900 Series 2901 lever trim, both narrow stile and both for 2000 Series exit devices. Both are exit only function, so a keyed cylinder is not part of the assembly the way it is with the 656F Augusta rim cylinder prep.
6) What is the closest equivalent to the Accentra 656F Augusta lever exit device trim from another manufacturer?
The Sargent 704ET night latch lever exit device trim is the nearest match in behavior. Like the 656F Augusta, it is a lever trim where the key retracts the latch, and Sargent lists it as Grade 1 heavy duty in the 700 Series with field reversible operation, so one part covers either hand. The 656F Augusta is a forged escutcheon lever trim prepped for a rim cylinder with the cylinder sold separately, and it is ordered by hand - left hand or right hand - rather than reversed in the field. Sargent also offers the 704-ETL in the PE Series and the 744 for 8700 and 8900 Series surface vertical rod and mortise devices, both Grade 1 night latch freewheeling trims.
7) What lever exit device trim should I use if I want storeroom function instead of a nightlatch cylinder prep?
The Design Hardware KIL storeroom function exit trim is a Grade 1 flat lever trim for 1000 and 2000 Series exit devices, supplied with a Schlage C keyway. The Tell EDELT80 escutcheon lever trim is also storeroom function and covers a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range. Pamex lists the E9000 as a Grade 1 storeroom function heavy duty trim with an L3 lever and a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range. The Accentra 656F Augusta is a classroom/storeroom lever trim prepped for a rim cylinder, with the cylinder ordered separately.
8) I need a lever exit trim on a door thicker than 1-3/4 inches - what are my options?
Pamex lists the E9000 storeroom function heavy duty trim with an L3 lever and a Grade 1 rating for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick, which is the widest published range among comparable lever trims. The Tell EDELT80 storeroom and EDELT53 keyed entry escutcheon lever trims each cover 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. Confirm door thickness before ordering, since the Accentra 656F Augusta and its peers through-bolt to the exit device and the fastener length has to match the door.
9) How much does the Augusta 656F lever trim stick out from the door face, and will it clear a door in a tight corridor?
The escutcheon measures 3 x 10-1/4 x 13/16 inches with a 2-5/8 inch projection. That projection is the number to check against a wall return, an adjacent door leaf, or a corridor with a tight swing. The 13/16 inch escutcheon thickness sits proud of the door face, so allow for it where the door passes a jamb-mounted stop or a second leaf.
10) How does the 656F trim attach to the exit device, and will it loosen up on an abused door?
The 656F through-bolts directly to the exit device rather than fastening to the door face alone, so pull loads go into the device chassis. Escutcheon is solid forged with beveled sides, which gives a pry tool nothing square to catch. Combined with the free-wheeling lever, that is the setup for a door that gets hit hard: school corridors, back doors, tenant service entries.
11) What is the difference between a lever exit trim and a pull trim on an exit device?
A lever trim like the Accentra 656F Augusta gives authorized people a keyed way in through the outside of the door with a lever that turns like normal hardware. A pull trim is a fixed handle with no moving lever: you key the cylinder and pull. Levers are what people expect on classroom, office and tenant doors and are easier to operate with hands full. Pull trims go on service and stair doors where you want nothing to grab. ZenSupply carries pull versions such as the BEST 1700 Series wide stile exit only pull trim and the BEST Precision 2000 Series narrow stile pull trim with cover plate.
12) Is there a heavy duty alternative to the Accentra 656F if I want a Grade 1 lever trim from another brand?
Several Grade 1 lever trims are stocked alongside the Augusta. The Sargent 744 is a Grade 1 freewheeling trim where the key retracts the latch, built for surface vertical rod and mortise 8700 and 8900 Series devices, which is the closest behavioral match to the 656F. The Dexter ED1500T Series regular lever is Grade 1, the Pamex E9000 storeroom trim is Grade 1 and covers 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, and Design Hardware's LE08 is a Grade 1 flat lever with escutcheon. Pick the one that matches the exit device already hung on the door, since trim mounts to a specific device family.
13) Can I use a cylinder-only nightlatch assembly instead of the Accentra 656F Augusta lever trim?
The Von Duprin 110MD-NL is a Grade 1 heavy duty night latch cylinder assembly for metal and wood doors, listed for 22, 55 and 98/99 exit trim applications. It puts a key on the outside with no lever and no escutcheon to grip. The Accentra 656F Augusta combines the rim cylinder preparation with an Augusta lever on a 3 inch by 10-1/4 inch forged escutcheon that through-bolts to the exit device, so once the key retracts the latch the lever pulls the door open.
14) Is there a simpler exit device trim than the Accentra 656F Augusta lever if the door does not need to be keyed from outside?
Yes. For an opening where the outside is never used for entry, pull or dummy trim replaces the keyed lever entirely. BEST offers the 1700 Series exit only pull trim for 2000 Series exit devices in wide stile, the 2000 Series exit only pull trim with cover plate in narrow stile, and lever versions in the 2900 Series narrow stile and 4900 Series wide stile, all exit only function. Von Duprin lists the 230DT dummy trim for 22 Series devices with a heavy duty 10 gauge steel escutcheon, Grade 1. Dexter offers the ED1500 Series dummy function trim with a handle pull plate, Grade 1. The Accentra 656F Augusta instead carries a rim cylinder prep so a key can operate the device from outside.
15) Which exit device lever trims look like a substitute for the Accentra 656F Augusta but will not give you keyed control of the door?
Passage function lever trims share the escutcheon-and-lever appearance but the lever always retracts the latch and no key is involved. Those include the Arrow SRX01 Sierra lever with rose for ED910, S1150 and S1250 devices, the Corbin Russwin 3310AET passage trim for ED3000 Grade 1 rim, surface vertical rod and mortise devices, the x810ET for ED4000 Series, and the x910ET for the ED5200S, ED5200, ED5400 and ED5800 Series. The Falcon 212L is a 20 Series escutcheon trim with a blank escutcheon and shear pin protection, and the Von Duprin 210K-BE pairs a knob with a blank escutcheon for 22 Series devices. The Accentra 656F Augusta carries a rim cylinder preparation so a key controls the outside lever.
16) What other nightlatch escutcheon lever trims are made besides the Accentra 656F Augusta?
Corbin Russwin makes the VT957ET-LC, a nightlatch escutcheon trim in stamped or formed stainless steel for ED5000 Series devices. Dorma offers the YR03R, a wide stile escutcheon lever trim with an R lever in night latch function supplied less cylinder. Sargent lists the 704ET and the 704-ETL, both Grade 1 heavy duty night latch lever trims, the 704-ETL with key retract function. The Accentra 656F Augusta is a forged escutcheon measuring 3 inches by 10-1/4 inches by 13/16 inch with a 2-5/8 inch projection, with the rim cylinder ordered separately.
17) Is there an alternative to the Accentra 656F Augusta lever trim for a door where a lever will not work?
Thumbpiece and pull trim take the place of a lever on the outside. The Dexter ED1000T-CLRM-TP-NC is a Grade 1 classroom trim combining a thumbpiece, pull plate and cylinder, supplied less cylinder. The Tell EDTHP53 is a thumbpiece trim in keyed entry function for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. For pull-only outside with key control, the Design Hardware 2P-03NL is a Grade 1 pull trim with a cylinder hole in night latch function for 1000R and 2000R exit devices, and the Dexter ED1500T-PULL-NC is a Grade 1 nightlatch trim with a raised lip pull plate. The Accentra 656F Augusta uses a free-wheeling lever on a forged escutcheon with beveled sides for attack resistance.
18) What is the difference between the Accentra 656F Augusta trim and a keyed entry lever exit trim like the Tell EDELT53?
The Tell EDELT53 escutcheon lever trim is keyed entry function and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick; Design Hardware offers the same idea in the LE08 and the KIL entry trims, both Grade 1 entry function, and Delaney lists entrance function CT, MD and SD style levers in its 500L trim. Entry function trims allow the outside lever to be locked and unlocked so the lever itself can be left free. The Accentra 656F Augusta is a classroom/storeroom lever trim that supports ANSI Function 08 or 09 with a rim cylinder, where the key controls the latch and the lever free-wheels.
19) Do I need a lever trim or a thumbpiece trim on the outside of an exit device?
A lever is the easier operator and is what most commercial and institutional openings use, which is what the Augusta 656F gives you. A thumbpiece is the pull-plate style with a paddle you press down, common where the look has to match existing entrance hardware or where a lever would snag traffic. ZenSupply carries thumbpiece versions including the Tell EDTHP53 entry function trim and the Dexter ED1000T classroom thumbpiece with pull plate and cylinder prep.
