Dexter ED1000T-CLRM-TP-NC Exit Device Trim, ED1000 Series, Classroom, Thumbpiece x Pull Plate x Cylinder (Less Cylinder)

No cylinder is included. The ED1000T-CLRM-TP-NC is supplied less cylinder, so you order the mortise cylinder separately and key it into your existing system. That is usually the point of a less-cylinder trim: it lets a locksmith match the building's keyway rather than accept a factory cylinder.

With the ED1000 classroom trim, the key controls the outside thumbpiece. Lock it from the outside with the key and the thumbpiece will not retract the latch; unlock it and the thumbpiece gives free entry. Inside, the push bar always releases for egress, so the door stays code-compliant for exiting no matter how the outside is set.

Yes. The ED1000 Series devices are built for a standard 1-3/4 inch thick door, which is the normal commercial door thickness. They also need at least a 3-1/2 inch stile to mount, so very narrow aluminum stiles are out.

The ED1000 Series panic device is UL listed and carries a UL Listed 3-hour fire rating. Note that dogging is not used on fire doors: hex key dogging is standard on the panic devices, but a fire rated opening must latch on every cycle.

No. The ED1000T-CLRM-TP-NC is mechanical, key-operated trim only. For card reader or intercom release you want electrified exit trim: Command Access offers the ET15, ET25 and ET26 with 12V/24V operation and fail safe or fail secure options, and Von Duprin's E360L-BE-03 is an electric passage trim for 33/35A series devices.

The Dexter ED1000T-CLRM-TP-NC is a classroom-function trim built as a thumbpiece with pull plate and a cylinder prep, shipped less cylinder. If the opening calls for a lever instead, the Falcon 510L is a heavy duty classroom function exit device trim with a lever handle, and the Falcon 179L is a medium duty classroom function lever control trim in the 1790 Series. The Accentra 446F is also a classroom function exit device trim, with the Augusta lever. All three operate the same way from the key side as the Dexter; only the grip style and duty level change.

The Dexter ED1000T-CLRM-TP-NC is classroom function, so the key controls the outside thumbpiece and the trim stays in that mode until rekeyed by the key. For a keyed entry opening, the Tell EDTHP53 is a thumbpiece exit device trim in keyed entry function and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. That keeps the thumbpiece grip while changing how the outside side behaves.

They are not interchangeable. The Dexter ED1000T-CLRM-TP-NC is classroom function, so the key sets whether the outside thumbpiece is active. A storeroom trim keeps the outside side locked at all times and requires the key on every entry. Storeroom options include the Design Hardware KIL storeroom function exit trim for 1000 and 2000 Series devices with a Schlage C keyway flat lever, the Pamex E9000 storeroom L3 lever heavy duty trim rated Grade 1 for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Tell EDELT80 storeroom escutcheon lever trim. Pick by how you want the door to behave when the teacher or manager is not at the door.

The Dexter ED1000 Series is a UL listed panic device and UL listed 3-hour fire device. The Accentra 121NL nightlatch trim, 426F Augusta lever escutcheon trim, 441F night latch keyed lever trim and 446F classroom lever trim are each listed with a fire rating of No. On a labeled opening, that distinction decides the specification.

No. Rim devices and the trim in the ED1000 Series are non-handed, and the surface vertical rod devices are field reversible. One part number covers left and right hand openings, which is why property managers can stock a single trim across a building.

The 36 inch device covers doors from 29 to 36 inches, and the 48 inch device covers 33 to 48 inches. Size the device to the leaf first, then add the classroom thumbpiece trim, which mounts the same either way.

A thumbpiece and pull plate, like the ED1000T-CLRM-TP-NC, takes abuse better on high-traffic exterior doors and gives a solid grab for someone pulling a heavy leaf. A lever trim is the choice when you need ADA-style operation on the outside or want the look to match lever locksets elsewhere. In lever form with classroom function, the Falcon 510L and the Accentra 446F are classroom-function lever trims.

The Tell EDTHP53 is a thumbpiece exit device trim in entry function with a stated 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range, so it covers thinner doors than the ED1000 hardware does. If you only need an outside pull with a cylinder hole and no thumbpiece, the Tell EDPT pull trim less cylinder is the simpler part.

For keyed lever control on an exit device, look at the Design Hardware KIL storeroom trim (Schlage C keyway, flat lever), the Pamex E9000 storeroom trim rated for 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, or the Marks USA M195F storeroom lever and rose trim. Storeroom keeps the outside lever always locked with key entry only; classroom, like the Dexter thumbpiece version, lets you leave the outside unlocked for periods of the day.

No. The ED1000 Series ships with a universal hardware pack that covers both wood and hollow metal doors, so a contractor carrying one box can hang the device on either substrate.

Only if you want key-only entry. A night latch trim retracts the latch with the key and gives no free outside operation between uses, which is a different opening than the classroom function Dexter ED1000T-CLRM-TP-NC. Night latch choices include the Sargent 704ET Grade 1 heavy duty night latch lever trim with field reversible operation, the Corbin Russwin VT957ET nightlatch escutcheon trim for ED5000 Series devices, and the Accentra 121NL exit device nightlatch trim. Do not specify one expecting classroom behavior.

The Dexter ED1000T-CLRM-TP-NC is a mechanical trim keyed from a cylinder you supply. For electrified control, Command Access offers the ET15, ET25 and ET26 electrified exit trims with 12V/24V operation and fail safe or fail secure options, the ET26 built Grade 1 and field reversible. For standalone credential entry without wiring to an access panel, the Dormakaba E-Plex 201U is an electronic pushbutton exit trim for wide stile doors, and the PowerPlex P201U covers rim, mortise and SVR devices.

The Dexter ED1000T-CLRM-TP-NC carries a Grade 1 rating. Grade 1 peers include the Pamex E9000 storeroom lever trim, the Sargent 704ET and 704-ETL night latch lever trims, the Sargent 744 freewheeling trim for 8700 and 8900 Series surface vertical rod and mortise devices, the Design Hardware KIL entry and storeroom trims, and the Von Duprin 230DT and 210K-BE. Match the function to the opening first, then the grade.

Where the outside face just needs to match and never operates, the Von Duprin 230DT is a dummy trim with a heavy duty 10 gauge steel escutcheon for 22 Series devices, the Von Duprin 210K-BE is a knob with blank escutcheon for 22 Series, the Falcon 212L is a 20 Series blank escutcheon lever trim with shear pin protection, and the Detex 02BN is a dummy S-lever trim with blank escutcheon for Value Series devices. None of these accept the key control that the classroom Dexter ED1000T-CLRM-TP-NC provides.
