Design Hardware Design Hardware KIK-PASSAGE Exit Device Knob Trim – Passage Function

Correct. Passage trim retracts the device latch every time the knob is turned, with no locking and no key. Use it on doors that need free entry from the outside, such as a stair discharge or a corridor cross door where egress is by the push bar and re-entry is meant to stay open. If the outside has to be secured or controlled, passage is the wrong function and you want keyed or classroom trim instead.

Yes. The KIK-PASSAGE trim is UL Listed for A label 3 hour fire doors and is ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 to A156.4, and it also meets ADA and ANSI A117 requirements. That combination is what a hospital, school, or government facility spec usually calls for on a rated stair or corridor opening.

No. The KIK-PASSAGE trim is a 2-3/4 inch backset, so a door bored at 2-3/8 inches puts the cross bore in the wrong place and the trim will not line up with the device. Commercial doors are usually 2-3/4 while 2-3/8 is the residential norm, so check the existing bore before ordering. Deadbolts like the Accentra D111 are the 2-3/8 backset products; this trim is not.

The KIK-PASSAGE is passage-function knob trim built for a 1-3/4 inch door, so it operates the latch without any key control. When the opening needs key control at that same door thickness, the Corbin Russwin DL3211 is a Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock with a deadbolt function listed for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin DL2211 is a Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock in classroom function, also listed for 1-3/4 inch doors. Both add a keyed bolt to the door rather than replacing the trim function, so they are specified alongside a latching device, not in place of passage trim.

No. Both carry exit language, but they do different work. The KIK-PASSAGE is knob trim in passage function, providing the outside pull and latch retraction for an exit device. The Arrow E60 is a Grade 2 exit deadlock in blank plate by thumbturn function for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, meaning it throws a bolt from the inside with no outside operation at all. Ordering the E60 to replace passage trim leaves the outside of the door with no way to retract the latch.

The KIK-PASSAGE trim is a Grade 1 commercial product under ANSI A156.4 and is UL listed for A label 3 hour fire doors. To keep a Grade 1 standard on the bolt, the Cal-Royal CRB800 is a heavy duty single cylinder deadbolt with a UL 3-hour fire rated latch, the Dexter DB1000 single cylinder deadbolt is Grade 1 for 1-3/8 to 1-7/8 inch doors, and the Delaney LM Series 301702 is a Grade 1 single cylinder less core deadbolt in dull chrome US26D. The Delaney is the one to specify when the facility keys its own cores; the Dexter covers a range of door thicknesses rather than a single one.

The strike is a 1-1/8 by 2-3/4 inch square corner. That is the common commercial hollow metal frame prep, so on a frame already cut for a square corner strike of that size the trim drops in without reworking the jamb. Rounded corner frame preps will need the opening filed or a different strike.

The rose measures 3 3/8 inches, which is enough to cover a standard 161 cylindrical prep and most scarring left behind by a knob that was pulled off. Chassis is zinc die chromated and the trim substrate is brass.

Levers are what accessibility requirements generally call for on doors people must operate, since they need no tight grasping or twisting. The KIK-PASSAGE is knob trim and is stated to meet ADA and ANSI A117, but if your inspector or spec is calling out lever operation specifically, order the matching lever trim rather than the knob.

If the door needs to lock, yes, but be careful: on a fire rated egress opening you cannot add a separate deadbolt that requires a second operation to get out. Where a deadbolt is allowed, ZenSupply carries Grade 1 commercial units such as the Cal-Royal CRB800 with a UL 3 hour fire rated latch, or the Corbin Russwin DL3211 cylindrical deadlock for 1-3/4 inch doors. The better answer on most exit device openings is to swap the passage trim for keyed trim rather than add a bolt.

It is a commercial rated trim, Grade 1 to ANSI A156.4, with a through bolted mounting and a zinc die chromated chassis. Through bolting is what keeps trim from working loose on an opening that gets hit hundreds of times a day, which is the usual failure on screw mounted trim in multi-family and school corridors.

The KIK-PASSAGE trim is built to a 2-3/4 inch backset. On the deadbolt side of the same door, the Deltana CL200LA is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt with a 2-3/4 inch backset, and the Deltana CL200LAIC is the same Grade 2 single deadbolt prepped for an interchangeable core without the cylinder. The Accentra D111 is a Grade 1 single cylinder deadbolt built to a 2-3/8 inch backset, so it lines up on a different bore centerline and is specified when the door is prepped 2-3/8.

The KIK-PASSAGE knob trim is built for a 1-3/4 inch door. On thicker stock, the Corbin Russwin DL3011 is a Grade 1 cylindrical deadlock in deadbolt function covering 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Deltana 7312KA2 is a Grade 3 double cylinder deadbolt covering 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors. The DL3011 keeps a Grade 1 rating on a heavier commercial door; the 7312KA2 is keyed from both sides rather than cylinder by turn.

The KIK-PASSAGE is knob trim for an exit device in passage function, through bolted with a zinc die-chromated chassis and a 3-3/8 inch rose, and it works with a 1-1/8 by 2-3/4 inch square corner strike. The Cal-Royal CB160 is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadbolt with a tamper-resistant cylinder guard, and the Bravura 310B Elite is a Grade 2 traditional round deadbolt in cylinder by thumbturn. Those are self-contained bolts that mount in their own bore and hold the door shut on their own; the KIK-PASSAGE mounts to and operates an exit device already on the door.

The KIK-PASSAGE knob trim is passage function and takes no core. Where the bolt on the same opening has to key into an SFIC system, the Arrow E61 is a Grade 2 single cylinder deadlock with SFIC prep less core for 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Deltana CL200LAIC is a Grade 2 single deadbolt with an interchangeable core prep, non cylinder, on a 2-3/4 inch backset that matches the trim's backset. The Delaney 301702 is a Grade 1 less core deadbolt for facilities holding a Grade 1 standard.

No. The KIK-PASSAGE is mechanical knob trim in passage function that operates an exit device on a 1-3/4 inch door. The Codelocks CL2200 is a medium duty electronic surface deadbolt, the Dormakaba Saffire LX-D is an RFID electronic deadbolt with BLE and electronic lock override, and the Delaney KP400 is a Grade 2 electronic deadbolt with a programmable remote. Each of those is a credential-operated bolt with its own mounting, not trim that mounts to an exit device, so swapping one in changes how the opening latches rather than how it is operated from outside.
