Design Hardware DH-KIL-STOREROOM-26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What door prep does the Design Hardware KIL exit trim need?
It installs into a standard 2-1/8 inch 161 door prep, which is the same cutout a cylindrical lockset uses. If the door was previously bored for a knob or lever lock, the hole is already there. Standard door thickness is 1-3/4 inches, with a 2 inch thick version available if you specify it on the order.
2) Do I have to specify handing for the KIL exit device lever trim?
No handing to call out. The KIL trim is non-handed and completely reversible, so one part covers left and right hand doors. That makes it easy to stock a couple on the shelf for a building with openings swinging both ways.
3) How does storeroom function work on an exit device trim, and is it what I want for a mechanical room?
Storeroom means the outside lever is always fixed. The key retracts the latch to get in, and the lever never unlocks the door; push the bar from inside and you always get out. That is the right function for mechanical rooms, IT closets, and stock rooms where the door must stay locked at all times. If you want the outside lever to stay unlocked during business hours, order the passage or entry version of the same trim instead.
4) Does the Design Hardware KIL trim come with a cylinder, and will it key into my existing Schlage master key system?
A 6 pin brass cylinder in the Schlage C keyway ships with it, along with two keys, so it can be pinned into an existing Schlage C system by your locksmith. There is also a version prepped for a small format interchangeable core, supplied less core, if your building runs SFIC. Keying is a required choice at order: keyed different is standard, keyed alike if you want several openings on one key.
5) Will this exit trim fit a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
No. The KIL needs a 2-1/8 inch 161 bore and carries a 3-3/8 inch rose, which a narrow stile aluminum door will not take. For narrow stile openings look at BEST Precision narrow stile trim, such as the 2901 lever trim or the 2001 pull trim, both built for 2000 Series narrow stile devices.
6) Can I use the Design Hardware KIL trim on a Von Duprin or Sargent exit device?
No. The Design Hardware KIL is a lever trim for Design Hardware 1000R and 2000R devices. Von Duprin devices take Von Duprin trim: the 210K-BE is a Grade 1 knob with blank escutcheon for 22 series, and the E360L-BE-03 is a Grade 1 electric passage trim with the 03 lever for 33 and 35A series. Sargent devices take Sargent trim: the 704ET is a Grade 1 night latch lever trim for 700 series, and the 744 covers 8700 and 8900 series surface vertical rod and mortise devices. Match the trim to the device family it is built for.
7) What is the closest equivalent to the Design Hardware KIL storeroom exit trim from another brand?
The Pamex E9000 is the nearest straight equivalent: it is a Grade 1 storeroom function exit device lever trim, the same Grade 1 storeroom lever trim configuration as the Design Hardware KIL. The E9000 fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick, while the KIL is standard for 1-3/4 inch doors and available for 2 inch doors when specified at time of order. The KIL is furnished with a Schlage C keyway 6 pin brass cylinder and two keys, and installs in a 2-1/8 inch 161 door prep.
8) The Design Hardware KIL is not recommended for surface vertical rod devices - what heavy duty storeroom trim should I use on an SVR opening?
The Design Hardware KIL is a standard duty lever trim for 1000R and 2000R devices and is not recommended for SVR devices. For a heavy duty storeroom lever trim, the Pamex E9000 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom exit device trim. If the opening is a Sargent surface vertical rod or mortise device, the Sargent 744 is a Grade 1 heavy duty trim for 8700 and 8900 series devices, though it is night latch function rather than storeroom, so the lever stays free and the key retracts the latch.
9) Is this exit trim ANSI Grade 1 and does it meet ADA?
Grade 1 under ANSI A156.3, and it meets ADA requirements per ANSI A117.1. The lever shape is what does the ADA work, no tight grasping or twisting to operate. Chassis is steel with a zinc dichromate finish and thru bolted mounting.
10) How far does the lever stick out from the door, and how long is the lever?
The lever is 5 inches long, solid zinc diecast, with 2-7/8 inches of total projection off the face of the door. Rose is 3-3/8 inch wrought brass. Worth checking against the swing if the door opens toward a wall or into a tight corridor return.
11) What else can I use for a storeroom function lever trim on an exit device?
Two direct alternates ZenSupply carries: the Marks USA M195F storeroom lever and rose trim for M9900 touchbar devices, and the Pamex E9000 heavy duty storeroom trim with an L3 lever, which lists a 1-3/8 to 2 inch door thickness range and is Grade 1. Tell's EDELT80 escutcheon lever trim is also storeroom function and covers 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch doors. The Design Hardware KIL differs in that it mounts on a 3-3/8 inch rose rather than a full escutcheon, and it is matched to Design Hardware 1000R and 2000R devices.
12) I need the outside lever to unlock electrically on a card reader. Can this trim do that?
The KIL is a mechanical trim only, keyed on the outside. For access control you want an electrified exit trim: Command Access makes the ET15, ET25 and ET26 with 12V/24V operation and fail safe or fail secure selection, and the Falcon 510L-FSA/FSE covers 25 Series devices. Match the trim to the device brand and series you already have on the door.
13) What is the difference between a storeroom exit trim and a night latch exit trim?
On a storeroom trim such as the Design Hardware KIL, the outside lever is always locked and the key retracts the latch, with the lever used to pull the door once the key turns. On a night latch trim such as the Sargent 704ET, the trim is night latch function with field reversible operation, and the Sargent 704-ETL is a night latch lever trim with key retract function. The Corbin Russwin VT957ET is a nightlatch escutcheon trim in stamped or formed stainless steel for ED5000 series devices, and the Dorma YR03R is a wide stile night latch lever trim supplied less cylinder. Order storeroom when you want a lever the key unlocks for entry; order night latch when the key alone retracts the latch.
14) Which exit trim gives free egress and free ingress on a classroom door instead of a locked storeroom lever?
For classroom function, the Falcon 510L is a heavy duty classroom function exit device trim with lever handle for 24 and 25 series devices, and the Falcon 179L is a medium duty classroom lever trim for 1790 series devices. The Accentra 446F is a Grade 1 classroom function exit trim with the Augusta lever. The Design Hardware KIL is storeroom function, where the outside lever stays locked at all times.
15) What looks like the Design Hardware KIL storeroom trim but will not lock the door?
Several lever trims share the escutcheon-and-lever appearance without any locking function. The Detex 02BN is a dummy S-lever trim with blank escutcheon for Value Series devices, and the Von Duprin 230DT is a dummy trim with a heavy duty 10 gauge steel escutcheon for 22 series. The Falcon 212L is a blank escutcheon lever trim for 20 series devices with shear pin protection. The Dexter ED1500T-DUMM-PULL is a dummy function trim with handle pull plate. None of those accept a key to control the outside lever the way the Design Hardware KIL storeroom trim does with its Schlage C cylinder.
16) I need the outside lever released by access control, not by a key - what replaces a mechanical storeroom exit trim?
Electrified trim takes an electrical signal instead of a key turn. Command Access offers the ET15, ET25 and ET26 electrified exit trims with 12V and 24V operation and fail safe or fail secure options, with the ET26 built to Grade 1 with a field reversible design, and the 230L electrified trim for Von Duprin V96, 36 and 23 series devices. Falcon offers the 510L-FSA/FSE, a heavy duty electrified trim with lever handle for 25 series devices. The Design Hardware KIL is mechanical storeroom function with a single cylinder, so it has no electrical option.
17) What is the difference between the Design Hardware KIL storeroom trim and the Marks USA M195F?
Both are storeroom function lever trims. The Marks USA M195F is a lever and rose trim with spring loaded roses for M9900 touchbar devices, and the related M195N is a lever and rose trim in the M195N series. The Design Hardware KIL uses 3-3/8 inch wrought brass roses, a 5 inch solid zinc diecast lever with 2-7/8 inch total projection, and is non-handed and completely reversible. Choose by which device family is on the door.
18) I want a keypad on the exit device instead of a keyed storeroom lever - what are the options?
Dormakaba offers pushbutton exit trim: the E-Plex 201U is an electronic pushbutton exit trim in the E-Plex 2000 series for wide stile applications, and the PowerPlex P201U is exit trim for rim, mortise and SVR devices. The Design Hardware KIL is a mechanical storeroom trim with a 6 pin brass Schlage C cylinder and two keys, or prepared for a small format interchangeable core less core, so credential management is by key rather than by code.
19) Is there a keyed entry exit trim instead of storeroom, where the lever can be left unlocked?
Keyed entry trims include the Tell EDELT53 escutcheon lever trim, a keyed entry function trim for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick, and the Tell EDTHP53 thumbpiece trim in the same keyed entry function and thickness range. Delaney offers entrance function exterior lever trim in three lever styles: the 500L with the CT lever, the 500L-MD with the MD lever, and the 500L-SD with the SD lever. The Design Hardware KIL family covers passage, storeroom and entry functions, with storeroom being the version that keeps the outside lever locked at all times.
20) What Grade 1 exit device trims are available besides the Design Hardware KIL storeroom?
The Design Hardware KIL is built to ANSI A156.3 Grade 1 with a steel, zinc dichromated chassis and a secure thru bolted design. Other Grade 1 exit trims include the Pamex E9000 storeroom lever trim, the Dexter ED1500T with regular lever, the Dexter ED1000T-CLRM-TP-NC classroom thumbpiece and pull plate trim supplied less cylinder, the Sargent 704ET heavy duty night latch lever trim, and the Von Duprin 210K-BE knob with blank escutcheon for 22 series. For a facility standardizing on Grade 1 across an exit device fleet, sort first by which device family is on each door, then by function.
21) What lever styles and finishes can I get on the Design Hardware KIL exit trim?
Flat is the standard lever, with curved, half curved, S-A and S-B also offered. Finish is either 613 dark bronze or 626 satin chrome. Design Hardware lists the trim family in US3, US4, US10B, US26, US26D and US32D, the last being marine grade 316 stainless for coastal or pool room openings.
22) What storeroom or keyed exit trim can I get in the same satin chrome finish as the Design Hardware KIL?
The Design Hardware KIL storeroom trim is stocked in 626 satin chrome and 613 dark bronze, and its finish range covers US3, US4, US10B, US26, US26D and US32D in marine grade 316 stainless. Among comparable keyed trims, the Tell EDELT80 storeroom escutcheon lever trim and the Tell EDELT53 keyed entry escutcheon lever trim are both cataloged in 26D satin chrome, so a mixed set of doors can be finished to match.
