Detex 14BN 689 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What exit devices does the Detex 14BN lever trim work with?
The 14BN S-lever trim with blank escutcheon is built for Detex Value Series exit devices. It mounts to the device's mounting plate, so it is not a universal trim, and it will not fit another brand's device. If you are trimming a different device, match the trim to that family instead: the Von Duprin 379L-BE blank escutcheon covers 55 Series rim devices, and the Corbin Russwin ED2200/ED2400 devices take the K157ET trim.
2) Does the Detex 14BN entrance trim need a cylinder or a key?
No cylinder, no key. The 14BN is BHMA Function 14, entrance by trim with the latch bolt released by the lever, and it is always active. The escutcheon is blank, meaning there is no cylinder hole in it. If you need key control from the outside, this is the wrong trim, and a keyed or storeroom function trim is what you want.
3) Can I change an exit device from key function to always-unlocked without taking the device off the door?
Yes, on Detex Value Series devices. The trim works with the device mounting plate, so a function change is done by swapping only the outside trim. Putting a 14BN on takes the opening to always-active entrance by lever. The exit device itself stays mounted and the door prep does not change, which is why property managers use this to convert a fleet of doors quickly.
4) Is the Detex 14BN lever trim handed, and can I flip it in the field?
The lever is rehandable in the field. Detex publishes both narrow stile and wide stile lever trim rehanding procedures, and the installation instructions covering the 08, 09 and 14BN trims ship with the part. So you order one part number and set the hand at the door rather than specifying left or right up front.
5) The opening needs the lever locked from outside at all times with key entry only - what takes the place of a 14BN entrance trim?
The 14BN is entrance function, meaning the lever is always active and retracts the latch with no cylinder. For a key-controlled opening, the Corbin Russwin K157ET is a Grade 1 heavy duty key only trim in classroom function for ED2200 and ED2400 exit devices, and the Arrow SRX87 is a classroom function Sierra lever trim with rose for the S1150, S1250, ED910 and PEC910 series with a 1-3/4 inch door thickness. Both are keyed-control trims rather than always-active levers.
6) What is the closest equivalent to the Detex 14BN lever trim if the exit device is a Sargent 80 Series instead of a Detex Value Series?
The Detex 14BN is an entrance-function lever trim with a blank escutcheon built for Detex Value Series exit devices, so it will not carry over to a Sargent chassis. Within the Sargent 80 Series, the 814 PSB is a heavy duty night latch pull trim, and the Sargent 802 blank plate trim belongs to the PE80 Series. Match the trim to the device family the door already has - a lever trim is cut to its own manufacturer's mounting plate.
7) What is a simpler alternative to a 14BN lever trim when the outside of the door should have no operating lever at all?
The 14BN puts an operable entrance lever on the outside. If the outside should be inoperative, the Sargent 802 is a blank plate exit device trim with GTB design in the PE80 Series and is not wood door compatible, and the Von Duprin 379L-BE is a Grade 1 heavy duty blank escutcheon trim for 55 Series rim exit devices. The Corbin Russwin x650ET is a Grade 1 heavy duty dummy function lever trim for ED7000 Series devices - it keeps the lever appearance without operating the latch.
8) Entrance trim or storeroom trim on a commercial exit door, which do I want?
Depends on whether the door should be lockable from outside. The 14BN is entrance function, always active: anyone can pull the lever and get in during business hours, and there is nothing to lock because there is no cylinder. That suits a main entry on an access-controlled or manually secured schedule. If the outside has to stay locked at all times and only a key gets in, use a storeroom trim instead, for example the Deltana LTED60LST for Exit Device 60 or the DDS-36 for Exit Device 80, each matched to its own device family.
9) Is the Detex 14BN trim heavy duty enough for a school or hospital entrance?
It is a commercial-rated trim, built heavy duty to match the durability of the panic devices it goes on, and Detex lists it for schools, healthcare, offices, retail, warehouse, multi-tenant residential and government buildings. The lever is the operating handle, which is what you want on an institutional opening where users approach with full hands.
10) I need keypad or code entry on the outside of my exit device instead of a plain lever. What are my options?
The 14BN gives you a lever only, with no code and no key, so it cannot do credential entry. For push-button access on an exit device, ZenSupply carries the Lockey 115P keyless passage panic trim and the 285P mechanical keyless trim, both rated for 1-3/16 to 2 inch doors, plus electronic options like the Dormakaba E-Plex E5010 push button trim with key override for 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inch doors and the BEST EXZ electronic keypad trim with key override. Each is tied to its own device family, so match it to the exit device already on the door.
11) What is the difference between a blank escutcheon trim and a blank plate trim?
A blank escutcheon on the 14BN still has a working lever on it; blank means no cylinder in the plate, not no handle. A blank plate trim is a different thing, a plain cover with no operating hardware at all, so the door is exit-only from the inside and there is no outside operation. The Sargent 802 blank plate for PE80 Series devices is that second kind. If someone needs to get in from the outside, you need the lever trim, not a blank plate.
12) Can a Von Duprin 379L-BE blank escutcheon replace the Detex 14BN blank escutcheon trim?
The names overlap but the parts do not. The Detex 14BN pairs a blank escutcheon with an entrance S-lever, so the escutcheon is the mounting plate behind a working lever. The Von Duprin 379L-BE is a blank escutcheon trim for 55 Series rim exit devices in the 370 Series, Grade 1 heavy duty - a blank face with no lever. If the door needs outside entry, the blank escutcheon on its own will not provide it.
13) What lever trim should be used instead of the 14BN when the door needs coded keypad access rather than a free lever?
The 14BN lever is always active with no cylinder, so it does not restrict who gets in. For credentialed access, the Dormakaba E-Plex E5010 is an electronic push button exit device lever trim with key override, Grade 1, in the E-Plex 5000 Series, fitting doors 1-3/8 to 2-1/4 inches thick. The BEST EXZ is an electronic keypad exit device trim with key override in the EZ Series. Both add code entry at the trim rather than at the device.
14) For a storeroom door where the outside lever must stay locked, what is the counterpart to an entrance-function lever trim like the 14BN?
Storeroom function keeps the outside lever rigid until it is released, where entrance function on the 14BN leaves the lever always active. The Deltana LTED60LST is a storeroom function lever trim for the Exit Device 60, and the Deltana DDS-36 is a storeroom function lever trim for the Exit Device 80. Pick the one matching the device series already on the door.
15) Is a pull handle an acceptable substitute for the 14BN entrance lever trim?
Only if the outside never needs to operate the latch. The 14BN is a lever trim whose lever releases the latch bolt. The Sargent 862 is an offset pull handle for exit devices, Grade 1, in the P800 Series, and the Sargent 814 PSB is a heavy duty night latch pull trim in the 80 Series. A plain pull gives a grip but no latch retraction; a night latch pull retracts the latch by key.
16) Does a keyless mechanical panic trim do the same job as the Detex 14BN?
No. The 14BN is entrance function with the lever always active and no cylinder, so it does not control who enters. The Lockey 285P is a keyless mechanical panic trim with a lever handle for doors 1 3/16 to 2 inches thick - it holds the lever until a mechanical code is entered. Choose by whether the outside needs to be open to everyone or restricted.
17) Can exit device trim be selected independently of the exit device on a wide stile aluminum door?
Trim follows the device family. The Detex 14BN entrance S-lever trim works with the Detex Value Series mounting plate, which is what lets the function change by swapping only the outside trim. Peer trims are equally device-specific: the Corbin Russwin x650ET dummy lever trim is for ED7000 Series devices and the Von Duprin 379L-BE is for 55 Series rim devices. On the device side, the ACSI ED4200-W036 is a Grade 1 wide stile rim exit device with 24 volt AC/DC electric latch retraction - confirm the device first, then the trim.
18) What finishes does the Detex 14BN S-lever trim come in?
Two: 689 aluminum painted and 693 black painted. If the other openings in the building are on 689, that is the one that matches the standard aluminum-painted hardware most Value Series devices are supplied in. There is no plated finish option on this trim, so a building standardized on satin chrome or bronze will not get a match here.
19) Does the Detex 14BN come with a pull handle, or do I need to order a pull separately?
The 14BN is a lever trim, not a pull. The S-lever is the operating handle and it retracts the latch, so you do not add a pull to it. Pulls are for non-latch-retracting applications: the Sargent 862 offset pull and the 814 PSB night latch pull are that style, each for their own device series. Ordering a 14BN gets you the escutcheon, lever and installation instructions.
20) What is the difference between an entrance lever trim like the Detex 14BN and a passage lever trim?
Both leave the outside lever operable. The 14BN is entrance function: the lever releases the latch bolt, always active, no cylinder. The Deltana LTED80LP is a passage, hall and closet function lever trim for the Exit Device 80, and the Lockey 115P is a heavy duty keyless passage lever panic trim with a 1150 lock body for doors 1 3/16 to 2 inches thick. Passage trim is for openings that never need to lock from outside.
21) The 14BN comes in 689 aluminum painted and 693 black painted - what if a different exit device trim finish is needed?
The Detex 14BN entrance S-lever trim is offered in 689 aluminum painted and 693 black painted. Where a different look is required, the Sargent 802 blank plate trim carries the GTB design in the PE80 Series and the Arrow SRX87 uses a Sierra lever with rose for the S1150, S1250, ED910 and PEC910 series. Each of those is tied to its own device family, so confirm the device series before choosing on appearance.
