Corbin Russwin A9M55ET 626 RHR – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Corbin Russwin ED5600 classroom trim work on my ED5000 Series rim exit device, or do I need mortise?

The x9M55ET trim is the mortise-device trim in the ED5000 family, so it mounts to an ED5600 mortise exit device. It through-bolts directly to the device. If your opening has a rim device (ED5200) or a surface vertical rod (ED5400), this is not the trim for it, you need the trim matched to that chassis. The escutcheon prep and the mortise lock case interface are what make the pairing, not the lever design.

2) What does classroom function mean on an exit device trim, and when should I use it instead of storeroom?

Classroom function here is ANSI Function #08: the outside lever retracts the latch for entry, and a key locks or unlocks that lever. A teacher can leave the lever unlocked all day for free passage, then lock it with the key and it stays locked. Storeroom is the other choice, the outside lever is always rigid and a key is required every single time, which is what you want on a mechanical room or supply closet. Free egress from inside is unaffected either way, the touchbar always releases. If storeroom is what you actually need, the Design Hardware KIL storeroom exit trim and the Tell EDELT80 are storeroom-function trims.

3) Is the Corbin Russwin ED5600 classroom lever trim handed, and how do I tell which hand to order?

Handed, yes. Lever trim on the ED5000 Series is handed even though the devices themselves are non-handed. You order LHR (left hand reverse) or RHR (right hand reverse). Exit devices are always on out-swinging doors, so the hand is always a reverse hand. Stand outside the door: if the hinges are on your right and the door swings toward you, it is RHR. Hinges on the left swinging toward you is LHR. Getting this wrong on a lever trim means the lever points the wrong way and the trim will not operate the device correctly.

4) Does the Corbin Russwin ED5600 classroom trim come with a cylinder, or do I have to buy one?

Standard is less cylinder, so the trim ships with the cylinder hole prepped and nothing in it. You choose at order time: less cylinder, conventional 6-pin, or conventional 7-pin. If you keep an existing keyway across the building, order less cylinder and drop in your own. The classification is rim cylinder, so that is what you are specifying even though the trim itself mounts to a mortise device.

5) Is the Corbin Russwin ED5000 classroom trim ADA compliant and can it go on a fire rated door?

ADA compliant, yes. The lever trims and pulls in the ED5000 line meet the Americans with Disabilities Act requirement, so no tight grasping or twisting to operate. On fire doors, the ED5000 devices are UL and cUL listed as panic and 3-hour fire exit hardware, and comply with NFPA 101 and NFPA 80, with California State Fire Marshal approval. The devices carry ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1. For a fire rated opening, the trim must be a function with no mechanical dogging holding the latch back, and classroom function qualifies.

6) Will Corbin Russwin ED5000 exit hardware fit a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?

No. The ED5000 Series needs a minimum stile width of 4-1/2 inches (114mm), which is a wide stile requirement. A typical narrow stile aluminum entrance is well under that and will not take it. For a narrow stile opening, look at narrow stile exit trim such as the BEST Precision 2900 Series 2901 lever trim or the 2000 Series pull trim, both built for narrow stile devices. Confirm your stile measurement before ordering, this is the spec that most often kills the job.

7) What door thickness does Corbin Russwin ED5000 exit hardware fit, and what if my door is thicker than standard?

1-3/4 inches (44mm) is the standard, which covers most commercial doors. Thicker doors are handled by suffix: D200 for a 2 inch door and D214 for 2-1/4 inches. You have to call that out on the order, it is not field adjustable after the fact. If you are on a 1-3/8 inch door, a trim with a wider stated range like the Pamex E9000 (1-3/8 to 2 inch) or the Tell EDELT53 (1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch) covers that thickness instead.

8) Will an entrance function lever trim work in place of classroom function?

It behaves differently at the door. Entrance and keyed entry trims such as the Delaney 500L in CT, MD, and SD lever styles, the Design Hardware KIL Entry and LE08 flat lever trims, and the Tell EDELT53 escutcheon lever trim are built around an entry function where the outside lever is worked by key or by an inside control. Classroom function, which is what the Corbin Russwin ED5600 mortise trim provides to ANSI Function #08, is keyed from the outside only - there is no inside button or turn to change the lever state, which is exactly why it is specified for rooms where occupants should not be able to lock themselves in or out on their own.

9) I have a 3-hour fire rated opening - which of these trims can I specify?

The Corbin Russwin ED5600 trim runs on ED5000 Series devices that are UL listed as panic and 3-hour fire exit hardware, compliant with NFPA 101 and NFPA 80 and approved by the California State Fire Marshal. Several trims in this class carry no fire rating - the Accentra 121NL nightlatch trim, the 426F and 441F Augusta lever trims, and the 446F classroom lever trim are all listed as not fire rated. On a fire rated opening the entire assembly has to be labeled, so a non-rated trim is the item that fails the inspection even when the device itself is right.

10) What is the door thickness range on comparable exit device trims if my doors are thicker than 1-3/4 inch?

The Pamex E9000 storeroom trim covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. The Tell escutcheon and thumbpiece trims - the EDELT53, EDELT80, EDTHP53, and the EDPT pull trim - are all specified for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Corbin Russwin ED5600 trim is standard at 1-3/4 inch with optional 2 inch as the D200 and 2-1/4 inch as the D214, so on a thick door the option code has to be called out at the time of order rather than adjusted in the field.

11) Do I need to order handing on exit device trim, or is it reversible?

It varies by product and it is worth confirming before the truck leaves. The Sargent 704ET night latch lever trim is field reversible, as is the Command Access ET26. The Corbin Russwin ED5600 classroom mortise trim is ordered handed, as LHR left hand reverse or RHR right hand reverse - the ED5000 devices are non-handed as a rule, but lever trim and double cylinder devices are the exception. Stand at the door on the outside and confirm the swing before the order goes in, because a handed lever trim cannot be flipped on site.

12) Can I get the Corbin Russwin ED5600 classroom trim keyed alike with my other locks?

Keyed alike is an option on the classroom trim when you order a cylinder with it. Keyed different is the default. Keyed alike is what you want when a maintenance staff carries one key for a run of classrooms or a wing. Cylinder choice is conventional 6-pin or 7-pin. If you are on a house keyway already, ordering less cylinder and pinning your own is the cleaner path for matching an existing system.

13) What is a free wheeling lever on an exit device trim and does it help with vandalism in a school?

Free wheeling is standard on this trim. When the lever is locked, forcing it down just spins it, the motion is not transmitted into the trim or the device. Someone hanging on the lever or kicking it does not break the internal linkage, which is the usual failure on corridor and classroom doors in a school. That is why it is worth specifying in a high-traffic institutional building. The chassis behind it is cold-forged steel with electroplated corrosion resistance.

14) How far does a Corbin Russwin ED5000 exit device stick out from the door, for clearance next to a wall or a second door?

3-1/4 inches (83mm) with the touchbar at rest, dropping to 2-3/4 inches (70mm) when dogged down. That matters where a door swings back against a wall, into a vestibule, or into the path of an adjacent leaf. Measure your available swing clearance against the 3-1/4 inch active figure, not the dogged one, since the device sits at rest most of the time.

15) What escutcheon lever designs can I get on the Corbin Russwin ED5600 classroom trim, and can I match my existing Corbin lever?

Nine designs: Armstrong (A9M), Citation (C9M), Dirke (D9M), Essex (E9M), Lustra (L9M), Newport (N9M), Princeton (PR9M), Regis (R9M), and a pull with thumbpiece (TH9M00). If your building already runs a Corbin Russwin lever design on the office and classroom locksets, ordering the matching design on the exit trim is how you keep the openings looking like one set. The thumbpiece option is the one to pick when a lever is not wanted on the pull side.

16) Can I add electric control to a Corbin Russwin ED5000 opening later, or do I have to specify it up front?

Electrified options on the ED5000 Series are factory options: delayed egress, electric latch retraction, and electric dogging. Specify them with the device, they are not a field add-on. If you already have a mechanical exit device installed and want to electrify the trim side without replacing the device, Command Access builds retrofit electrified exit trim, the ET25 and ET26, with 12V/24V operation and fail safe or fail secure selectable.

17) I only need a pull on the outside of the door with no key entry. Is the ED5600 classroom trim overkill?

Yes, if nobody needs to key back in through that door, a classroom trim is more hardware than the opening calls for. Exit only pull trim is the right answer there: the BEST 1700 Series wide stile pull trim or the 4900 Series wide stile lever trim are exit only and mount to 2000 Series devices. The Von Duprin 230DT is a dummy trim in 10 gauge steel for 22 Series. Classroom function only earns its cost when someone has to unlock and relock the outside lever with a key.

18) Can I dog down a classroom function door so it stays unlocked during school hours?

Two different things get confused here. Dogging holds the touchbar depressed so the latch stays retracted and the door pushes open freely from outside, standard on ED5000 panic devices is a single-point 1/4-turn hex key, with cylinder or electric dogging optional. Classroom function on the trim instead leaves the outside lever unlocked so the latch still throws and the door still latches. For a door you want free-swinging at passing periods, dogging is the mechanism. Note that mechanical dogging is not permitted on a fire rated opening, on a fire door use the trim function to control access.

19) The lever on our exit trim keeps getting broken off - what trim resists abuse better?

Two approaches show up in this class. Freewheeling trim lets the lever spin when locked instead of transferring force into the chassis - the Sargent 744 is Grade 1 freewheeling trim with key retract latch for 8700 and 8900 Series devices, and the ED5600 line carries free wheeling levers for vandal resistance. The Falcon 212L uses shear pin protection on the 20 Series escutcheon lever trim instead, so the pin gives before the mechanism does. For an opening where nothing needs to be gripped from the outside, the Von Duprin 210K-BE knob trim with blank escutcheon for 22 Series removes the lever as a target altogether.

20) Which exit device trims are medium duty rather than heavy duty?

Among lever trims, the Falcon 179L for 1790 Series devices is medium duty and classroom function, and the Falcon 212L 20 Series escutcheon lever trim is also medium duty. The heavy duty group includes the Falcon 510L, the Sargent 704ET and 704-ETL, the Von Duprin 210K-BE and 230DT, and the Von Duprin 110MD-NL night latch cylinder assembly. The Corbin Russwin ED5600 trim is heavy duty, cold-forged steel chassis, through-bolted directly to the exit device. Duty level is the specification to hold firm on for a school corridor or any door that cycles all day.

21) What finishes does the Corbin Russwin ED5600 exit trim come in to match the rest of my building's hardware?

Fourteen finishes, covering the standard BHMA numbers plus two specials: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 611 bright bronze, 612 satin bronze, 613 oil-rubbed satin bronze, 613E dark oxidized satin bronze equivalent, 618 bright nickel, 619 satin nickel, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, 629 bright stainless, 630 satin stainless, 722 black oxidized bronze oil-rubbed, and BSP black suede powder coat. For a school or office corridor, 626 and 630 are the two that will match most existing commercial hardware. Exterior and coastal openings usually get 630.
