Dexter ED1000T Series Classroom Function Exit Device Trim with Regular Lever

No handing to specify. Dexter states all ED1500 devices and trim are non-handed, so one part covers either swing. That keeps the ordering simple if you are trimming out a run of openings with mixed hands.

The ED1500 devices are built for a standard 1-3/4 inch thick door and need at least a 4-1/4 inch stile. Door width coverage: the 36 inch device fits doors 29 to 36 inches, the 48 inch device fits 33 to 48 inches. On an aluminum storefront with a narrower stile than 4-1/4 inches, this family is the wrong choice; look at a narrow stile setup such as the BEST Precision 2900 Series trim on a 2000 Series narrow stile device.

Yes. The ED1500 Series is a UL listed panic device and is UL Listed as a 3-hour fire device, so it is suited to a rated stair or corridor door. Note that on a fire door the device is not dogged down; hex key dogging comes standard on the panic (non-fire) versions.

For a like-for-like classroom function lever trim, the Falcon 510L is a heavy duty classroom function exit device trim with a lever handle for 24/25 Series devices, and the Accentra 446F is a Grade 1 classroom function exit device trim with an Augusta lever. The Falcon 179L is also classroom function with a lever, built at a medium duty level for 1790 Series devices. All three keep the same operating behavior as the Dexter classroom trim: key control of the outside lever.

Storeroom trim keeps the outside lever locked at all times and requires a key for entry, unlike classroom function. The Pamex E9000 is a Grade 1 storeroom function trim with an L3 lever that fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick, the Tell EDELT80 is a storeroom escutcheon lever trim for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Design Hardware KIL storeroom trim uses a flat lever with a Schlage C keyway for 1000 and 2000 Series devices. Marks USA M195F is a storeroom lever and rose trim with spring loaded roses for M9900 touchbar devices.

No. A nightlatch trim has no operating lever function until the key is turned - the key retracts the latch and the lever or pull otherwise stays fixed. The Sargent 704ET is a night latch lever trim with field reversible operation, the Sargent 704-ETL is a night latch lever trim with key retract for PE Series devices, and the Sargent 744 is a Grade 1 freewheeling night latch trim where the key retracts the latch, for 8700 and 8900 Series surface vertical rod and mortise devices. Corbin Russwin VT957ET and Accentra 121NL are nightlatch trims as well. Order one of these only if you want key-only entry, not the classroom behavior of the Dexter ED1500T.

Fire rated openings need components listed for that use. The Dexter ED1500 devices are UL listed panic devices and UL listed 3-hour fire devices at Grade 1. Among alternatives, the Accentra 121NL, 426F, 441F and 446F trims all carry a fire rating of No, so they are not the ones to specify on a fire door assembly.

Classroom function means the outside lever is locked and unlocked by key, and the lever retracts the latch when unlocked. Inside, the push bar always allows free egress. It is the usual pick for a classroom or office door a teacher or supervisor needs to secure from the outside without affecting exit. If you instead want the outside lever locked at all times with key access only, a storeroom trim like the Design Hardware KIL Storeroom or the Pamex E9000 covers that.

Grade 1, the heaviest ANSI/BHMA commercial duty tier, with an aluminum mechanism case and deadlatching as standard. That is the grade most school, healthcare and government specs call for on an egress opening.

Yes, ED1500 hardware ships with a universal hardware pack that covers wood and hollow metal doors, so you do not order a separate fastener kit by door type. Dexter also publishes an install instruction sheet and a chassis template for wood and hollow metal prep.

The Dexter ED1500T classroom trim is key operated, not electrified. For card reader or remote release control at the outside lever, look at electrified exit trim such as the Command Access ET15, ET25 or ET26, all of which run 12V or 24V with fail safe or fail secure options, or the Falcon 510L-FSA/FSE for 25 Series devices. Those have to match the device series they mount to.

That is passage function, where the lever always retracts the latch and there is no cylinder. The Corbin Russwin 3310AET is passage function for ED300 Series devices, the x810ET is passage for ED4000 Series, and the x910ET is passage heavy-duty trim for ED5200S, ED5200, ED5400 and ED5800 Series. The Arrow SRX01 is a passage function Sierra lever with rose for ED910, S1150 and S1250 devices. These give constant free entry rather than the key-controlled outside lever of the Dexter ED1500T classroom trim.

Yes, with electrified or credential-based trim. Command Access offers the ET15, ET25 and ET26 electrified exit trims with 12V/24V operation and fail safe or fail secure options, the ET26 being Grade 1 and field reversible, plus the 230L electrified trim for Von Duprin V96/36/23 Series devices. Falcon 510L-FSA/FSE is a heavy duty electrified version of the 25 Series lever trim, and Von Duprin E360L-BE-03 is a Grade 1 fail safe electric passage trim with an 03 lever for 33/35A devices. For standalone keypad control, Dormakaba E-Plex 201U is an electronic pushbutton exit trim and PowerPlex P201U fits rim, mortise and SVR devices.

The Von Duprin 210K-BE is a Grade 1 heavy duty knob trim with a blank escutcheon for 22 Series devices, and the Tell EDTHP53 is a thumbpiece trim in keyed entry function for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. If you only need a fixed grip with a cylinder for a night latch device, the Tell EDPT pull trim has a cylinder hole and ships less cylinder, and the Von Duprin 110MD-NL is a night latch cylinder assembly for metal and wood doors on 22, 55 and 98/99 devices.

The Dexter ED1500 devices are built for a standard 1-3/4 inch thick door. If your leaf runs heavier, the Pamex E9000 storeroom trim covers a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range. Tell trims - EDELT53, EDELT80, EDTHP53 and the EDPT pull - are rated 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, so they will not extend past standard thickness.

Two: 613 Oil Rubbed Bronze and 626 Satin Chrome. If the exit device itself is being ordered in Dexter's 689 aluminum paint or 695 dark bronze paint, the trim finish will not match it exactly, so pick with the rest of the opening's hardware in mind.

Entry function unlocks the outside lever with a key and can be left unlocked by the occupant. Design Hardware offers the KIL entry function trim with a Schlage C keyway and flat lever for 1000 and 2000 Series devices and the LE08 entry function trim with a flat lever and escutcheon for 1000R and 2000R devices. Tell EDELT53 is a keyed entry escutcheon lever trim for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and Delaney 500L entry function trim comes in CT, MD and SD lever styles.

Use dummy or blank escutcheon trim so the pair of doors looks consistent without adding a working lever. The Von Duprin 230DT is a heavy duty Grade 1 dummy trim with a 10 gauge steel escutcheon for 22 Series devices, the Detex 02BN is a dummy S-lever trim with a blank escutcheon for Value Series devices, and the Falcon 212L is a 20 Series escutcheon lever trim with a blank escutcheon and shear pin protection. Von Duprin 210K-BE pairs a knob with a blank escutcheon.
