Detex 03WS 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Detex 03WS trim plate work on a 10 Series or 21 Series exit device?
The 03WS trim plate is built for Detex 10, 20, 21, and 27 Series exit devices. Those four families share the trim mounting, so the same plate covers all of them. It will not mount to another manufacturer's device, so if the door has a Von Duprin, Sargent, or Corbin Russwin device on it, you need that brand's own trim.
2) What does BHMA Function 03 mean on a Detex exit device trim?
Function 03 is key-retracts-latch entry. Turning the key in the cylinder pulls the latch bolt back so you can enter through the door from the outside, and the key only comes out of the cylinder when the trim is left locked. That last detail is the point of the function: nobody can walk away leaving the opening unsecured. The push bar on the inside still gives free egress at all times.
3) I want a lever on the outside instead of a plate. What should I get?
The 03WS is a flat trim plate with a cylinder hole, key operation only. There is no lever and no pull on it, so once the latch retracts you push the door open. If the opening needs a lever handle on the outside, look at a lever trim built for your device family instead, such as the Corbin Russwin K157ET key-only trim for ED2200 and ED2400 devices, or the Deltana LTED80LS entry-function lever trim for 80 series devices. Whatever you pick has to match the device brand and series already on the door.
4) I want a lever on the outside instead of just a key - what replaces a key-only exit device trim plate?
A key-only plate like the Detex 03WS gives entry by key alone, with the key removable only when locked. If the opening needs a lever people can grab, look at lever trim built for the matching device family: the Arrow SRX87 is a classroom function Sierra lever with rose for S1150, S1250, ED910 and PEC910 series devices, fitting doors 1-3/4 inch thick, and the Deltana LTED80LS is an entry function lever trim for 80 series exit devices. Lever trim changes how the door is used day to day - a lever can be grasped and turned, a plate cannot - so confirm the device series before ordering.
5) What should I use if the outside of the door should never open at all?
Then a cylinder trim is the wrong part. The Detex 03WS carries a cylinder hole precisely so a key can retract the latch from outside. For a door that stays exit-only, use a blank trim: the Sargent 802 is a Grade 1 blank plate trim with GTB design for PE80 Series devices, and the Von Duprin 379L-BE is a Grade 1 heavy duty blank escutcheon for 55 Series rim devices. Both cover the door prep and give no outside operation, so nobody has to key a cylinder that was never meant to be used.
6) We do not want to issue keys for this door. What outside trim works without a cylinder?
There are two directions. For keyless mechanical entry, the Lockey 115P is a heavy duty keyless passage lever panic trim with a 1150 lock body and the Lockey 285P is a keyless mechanical panic trim with a lever handle; both fit doors 1 3/16 to 2 inches thick and work on a code rather than a key. For credential-based access, the BEST EXZ is an electronic keypad exit device trim with key override in the EZ Series, and the Dormakaba E-Plex E5010 is a Grade 1 electronic push button lever trim with key override for doors 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches. The Detex 03WS assumes a mechanical cylinder is being added, so pick from the keyless group if key control is what you are trying to avoid.
7) What finishes does the Detex 03WS trim plate come in?
Seven finishes, all BHMA-coded so they match the rest of the openings: 605 polished brass, 606 brushed brass, 611 polished bronze, 612 brushed bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 626 satin stainless, and 629 polished stainless steel. On a commercial building, 626 satin stainless is the usual standard, and 613 oil rubbed bronze is the one to pick when the other hardware in the space is dark.
8) Can I change the outside function of a Detex exit device without taking the device off the door?
Yes. The Detex trim and mounting plate design lets you swap the outside trim to change the function, without pulling the exit device off the door. For a property manager moving an opening from a keyed-entry function to something else, that means one trim plate and a screwdriver instead of a full device replacement and a re-prep of the door.
9) I need an exit device trim with no keyway at all, just a pull or a blank. Is the 03WS the wrong part?
Right, the 03WS is the wrong part for that. It is drilled for a cylinder because its whole job is key entry. For an opening that should never be entered from outside, a blank plate such as the Sargent 802 or the Von Duprin 379L-BE blank escutcheon for 55 Series devices covers the device with no key function. For a door that gets pulled open after the key work is done elsewhere, the Sargent 814 PSB nightlatch pull is the pull-style option. Match the trim to your device brand and series either way.
10) Can I put a keypad or card reader on the outside of my Detex exit device instead of a key trim?
Not with the 03WS, which is mechanical key entry only. Electronic trim exists but it is device-specific: the Dormakaba E-Plex E5010 push button trim with key override covers 1-3/8 inch through 2-1/4 inch doors, and the BEST EXZ electronic keypad trim with key override serves EZ Series devices. Neither of those mounts to a Detex 10, 20, 21, or 27 Series device, so on a Detex opening the practical route is the keyed 03WS plate with your cylinder in it.
11) If I'm standardizing key entry across a building with Detex panic devices, can I order the same trim for every door?
One part number covers all of them as long as the devices are Detex 10, 20, 21, or 27 Series. Pick a single finish, 626 satin stainless being the common commercial choice, order one 03WS per opening, and supply the mortise cylinders keyed to your existing system so the whole building runs on one key. Cylinders are not included with the trim.
12) Is a nightlatch pull trim the same thing as a key-retracts-latch trim plate?
They are close in intent but not the same part. The Detex 03WS is a plate with a cylinder hole where the key retracts the latch for entry. The Sargent 814 PSB is a night latch trim for 80 Series devices that pairs the key function with a pull handle, so the user has something to grip while pulling the door open; it is a heavy duty trim. If crews are entering with gloves or carrying loads, the pull version is the one that gets used. Note the 814 PSB is built for Sargent 80 Series, not the Detex 10, 20, 21 and 27 Series the 03WS serves.
13) What is the difference between storeroom lever trim and the 03WS key trim?
Function, and what the outside does between keyings. The Detex 03WS releases the latch by key and the key comes out only in the locked position - there is no lever to leave unlocked. Storeroom lever trim such as the Deltana DDS-36 for exit device 80 or the Deltana LTED60LST for exit device 60 gives a lever that stays locked and is released by key each time. Locksmiths standardizing an opening usually choose between them on whether the outside needs a graspable lever at all; institutional buyers often choose the key plate where they want the outside to stay plainly locked.
14) The door should be free to push and pull from outside during business hours. Is a keyed trim plate right?
No - a keyed plate like the Detex 03WS requires a key at every entry. For an unlocked outside condition, passage trim is the right family: the Deltana LTED80LP is passage, hall and closet function lever trim for exit device 80, and the Lockey 115P is a keyless passage lever panic trim with a 1150 lock body for doors 1 3/16 to 2 inches thick. If the outside just needs a grip on a device that never opens from outside, the Sargent 862 is a Grade 1 offset pull handle for exit devices in the P800 Series.
15) Can I use a dummy lever trim in place of a keyed trim plate?
Only if the outside is meant to be decorative. The Corbin Russwin x650ET is a Grade 1 heavy duty dummy lever trim with rose for ED7000 Series exit devices - the lever is fixed and operates nothing, so the door still opens only from the egress side. The Detex 03WS, by contrast, retracts the latch when keyed, giving controlled entry from outside. Dummy trim and keyed trim look similar on a door schedule and behave completely differently, so read the function line before ordering.
16) We need the door to unlock remotely from the front desk. Is trim the right place to solve that?
Not with a mechanical plate. The Detex 03WS is key-operated at the door, and its mounting plate design lets the function change by swapping the outside trim without pulling the device off the door - but every one of those functions still needs someone at the opening. For remote release, the change happens at the device: the ACSI ED4200-W036 is a Grade 1 wide stile rim exit device for the Corbin Russwin ED4000 series with electric latch retraction on 24 volt AC/DC. Electronic trim is the middle path - the BEST EXZ keypad trim with key override in the EZ Series keeps the credential at the door without rewiring the device.
17) My door is thinner than 1-3/4 inch - which exit device trims state a range that covers it?
Two families publish wider ranges. The Lockey 115P and Lockey 285P panic trims both cover 1 3/16 to 2 inches, and the Dormakaba E-Plex E5010 electronic push button lever trim with key override covers 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches and is Grade 1. By comparison the Arrow SRX87 classroom lever trim states 1-3/4 inch. On a thin or non-standard leaf, start from the trims that publish a range and confirm the device beneath it fits the same door.
18) Is the Detex 03WS trim rated for a high traffic commercial door?
It is a commercial-duty part, built to the same durability standard as the Detex panic devices it mounts to, and Detex states it is made to take heavy use and abuse. That is the trim you want on a school corridor, a hospital service door, or a retail rear exit where the opening cycles all day.
19) Where do I get the door prep template and install instructions for the Detex 03WS?
Detex publishes an installation instruction sheet for the 03WS plus an addendum covering it, and both are carried with the product. Follow the template on those sheets for hole locations rather than measuring off the old trim, since the cylinder hole and mounting hole pattern have to line up with the device mounting plate already on the door.
20) I have a wood door - does that rule out any of these exit device trims?
It matters for at least one. The Sargent 802 blank plate trim with GTB design is not wood door compatible, so on a wood opening it is off the table even though its blank face may be what the function calls for. The Von Duprin 379L-BE blank escutcheon for 55 Series rim devices is the other Grade 1 heavy duty blank in the same role. Confirm door material against the trim before you order, then match the trim to the device series - the Detex 03WS, for instance, is cut for Detex 10, 20, 21 and 27 Series devices.
