Dexter ED2000T Series Grade 1 Exit Device Trim

Two functions, Classroom and Night Latch, each offered with either an Escutcheon Lever or a Key-in-Lever Round Rose. Classroom trim lets the key retract the latch and leave the lever operable for entry until it is locked again; Night Latch trim keeps the outside lever rigid and uses the key to retract the latch each time. Both combinations are available in SP28 Aluminum Painted and SP313 Dark Bronze Painted, so there are eight orderable combinations in total.

No handing to specify. Dexter states the rim devices and their trim are non-handed, so the same ED2000T trim goes on either swing. If you are trimming a surface vertical rod opening, the device itself is field reversible, and the trim still ships one way for both hands. That makes it easy to stock a single part number across a building instead of splitting inventory by hand.

Probably not. The ED2000 devices this trim mounts to need a 3-1/2 inch minimum stile, which is wider than the typical narrow stile on an aluminum glass door. For a narrow stile opening, look at trim built for it, such as the BEST Precision 2900 Series 2901 narrow stile lever trim or the 2000 Series narrow stile pull trim, both for 2000 Series exit devices.

No. Exit device trim is series specific, and the ED2000T is made for Dexter ED2000 devices. Match the trim to the device brand and series you already have on the door: for Von Duprin 22 Series, the 210K-BE knob trim with blank escutcheon or the 230DT dummy trim; for Sargent 700 Series, the 704ET night latch lever trim, or the 744 for Sargent 8700 and 8900 surface vertical rod and mortise devices. Swapping trim across brands is not a fit you can force.

The Dexter ED2000T is a mechanical, key-operated exit device trim in Classroom and Night Latch functions - it is not switched by an access control system. For an electrified opening, Command Access builds the ET15, ET25 and ET26 electrified exit trims with 12V/24V operation and fail safe/fail secure options, with the ET26 in Grade 1 construction and a field reversible design, and the 230L electrified trim for Von Duprin V96/36/23 Series devices. Falcon offers the 510L-FSA/FSE, an electrified heavy duty lever trim for the 25 Series, and Von Duprin the E360L-BE-03, a Grade 1 electric passage trim with an 03 lever in fail safe for 33/35A Series devices. Electrified trim needs power routed to the door, which mechanical trim does not.

The Dexter ED2000T is built in a Night Latch function with either an escutcheon lever or a key-in-lever round rose. Comparable night latch lever trims include the Sargent 704ET, a heavy duty Grade 1 night latch lever trim with field reversible operation in the 700 Series, and the Sargent 704-ETL, a Grade 1 heavy duty nightlatch lever trim with key retract function for the PE Series. The Dorma YR03R is a wide stile escutcheon lever trim in night latch function supplied less cylinder, and the Corbin Russwin VT957ET is a nightlatch escutcheon trim in stamped or formed stainless steel for the ED5000 Series. Match the trim to the exit device family already installed.

The Dexter ED2000T Series exit device trim is offered in a Classroom function with an escutcheon lever, and two peers cover the same classroom-function lever trim territory. The Falcon 510L is a classroom function heavy duty exit device trim with a lever handle in the 24/25 Series, and the Accentra 446F is a classroom function Grade 1 exit device trim with the Augusta lever. Both are lever trims in classroom function, so the decision comes down to which device series is already on the door - the Falcon 510L is built for the 24/25 Series and the Accentra 446F for its own device line, while the ED2000T trim is made for the Dexter ED2000 device.

The Dexter ED2000T is built in Classroom and Night Latch functions, both of which keep the outside lever secured until a key is used. For an opening where the outside lever always retracts the latch, a passage function trim is the correct part. The Arrow SRX01 is a passage function exit device trim with a Sierra lever and rose for ED910, S1150 and S1250 devices. The Corbin Russwin 3310AET is a passage function trim for the ED300 Series covering rim, surface vertical rod and mortise devices, and the Corbin Russwin x910ET is a passage function heavy-duty trim for the ED5200S, ED5200, ED5400 and ED5800 Series. Passage trim gives free access from the outside, so it suits corridor and vestibule doors rather than secured openings.

The Dexter ED2000T Grade 1 exit device trim is offered in Classroom function, where the key controls whether the outside lever is locked or unlocked. Storeroom function trim keeps the outside lever locked at all times and the key retracts the latch each time. Storeroom peers include the Design Hardware KIL storeroom function exit trim for 1000 and 2000 Series exit devices with a Schlage C keyway and flat lever, the Pamex E9000 Grade 1 storeroom L3 lever heavy duty trim for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch thick, the Tell EDELT80 storeroom function escutcheon lever trim for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Marks USA M195F storeroom function lever and rose trim with spring loaded roses for the M9900 touchbar. Specify by how the room is meant to be managed day to day.

Several lever trims share the escutcheon and lever appearance of the Dexter ED2000T without providing keyed control. The Detex 02BN is a dummy S-lever trim with a blank escutcheon for Value Series exit devices, and the Von Duprin 230DT is a dummy trim with a heavy duty 10 gauge steel escutcheon for 22 Series devices - neither retracts a latch. The Falcon 212L is a 20 Series escutcheon lever trim listed as a blank escutcheon function with shear pin protection, and the Von Duprin 210K-BE is a knob trim with a blank escutcheon for 22 Series. If the opening needs to be secured and keyed from the outside, specify a keyed function such as the ED2000T Classroom or Night Latch trim instead.

No. The Dexter ED2000T Night Latch trim is a lever trim, supplied either as an escutcheon lever or a key-in-lever round rose, so the user turns a key and pulls the lever. The Von Duprin 110MD-NL is a night latch cylinder assembly for metal and wood doors covering 22, 55 and 98/99 exit trim - a cylinder assembly, not a lever. The Design Hardware 2P-03NL is a pull trim with a cylinder hole in night latch function for 1000R and 2000R exit devices, which pairs a key with a fixed pull rather than a lever. All three unlock with a key; only the ED2000T gives a lever to grip, which matters where the door is used one-handed or where the facility standardizes on lever hardware.

The Dexter ED2000T trim belongs to the ED2000 family, where surface vertical rod devices are field reversible and rim devices and trim are non-handed. Peers that span more device types include the Corbin Russwin 3310AET, a passage function trim for the ED300 Series covering rim, surface vertical rod and mortise devices, and the Corbin Russwin x810ET, a Grade 1 passage function trim for the ED4000 Series covering SecureBolt, rim, surface and concealed vertical rod. The Sargent 744 is a Grade 1 night latch freewheeling trim where the key retracts the latch, built for surface vertical rod and mortise 8700 and 8900 Series devices. Confirm the device type on the door first, since trim is specified to the device.

Both the Classroom and Night Latch versions are keyed trim, so the cylinder is the piece your locksmith supplies and keys into the building's system. Order a rim cylinder in your existing keyway with the cam the device calls for, and specify the finish to match the SP28 Aluminum Painted or SP313 Dark Bronze Painted trim you picked. The Escutcheon Lever version takes the cylinder in the escutcheon; the Key-in-Lever Round Rose version takes it in the lever itself.

Night latch trim keeps the outside lever fixed at all times, so anyone coming in has to use the key every single time. Classroom trim uses the key to release the outside lever so it stays unlocked through the school day or business hours, then locks again with the key. Pick night latch for a back door or service entry that should never be left free, and classroom for a door that gets unlocked in the morning and secured at close. Dexter offers ED2000T trim in both.

The Dexter ED2000T trim is finished SP313 Dark Bronze Painted or SP28 Aluminum Painted, and both come in either lever style and either function, so a property manager standardizing a building can hold the finish constant and vary the function door to door. Painted finishes are what these are, not plated, so plan to match against your existing painted aluminum or dark bronze storefront and frames rather than a satin chrome lockset.

Sizing is on the device, not the trim. The 36 inch ED2000 device covers doors 29 to 36 inches wide and the 48 inch device covers 33 to 48 inches, with a door height of 84 inches on record. Confirm the leaf width falls in one of those bands and that the door is 1-3/4 inches thick with at least a 3-1/2 inch stile, then the ED2000T trim goes on the outside regardless of which of the two device sizes you picked.

The Dexter ED2000 devices fit a standard 1-3/4 inch thick door. Where the door is thinner, several peer trims publish a thickness range that reaches below that: the Tell EDELT53 entry function escutcheon lever trim, the Tell EDELT80 storeroom function escutcheon lever trim, the Tell EDPT pull trim and the Tell EDTHP53 thumbpiece entry trim all cover 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Pamex E9000 Grade 1 storeroom L3 lever heavy duty trim covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Measure the actual door thickness before specifying, since the trim screws must reach through the door to the device.

The Dexter ED2000T is key-operated lever trim. To let staff in with a code rather than a key, Dormakaba builds pushbutton exit trim: the E-Plex 201U is an electronic pushbutton exit trim in the E-Plex 2000 Series for wide stile doors, and the PowerPlex P201U is exit trim for rim, mortise and surface vertical rod devices in the PowerPlex 2000 Series. Pushbutton trim changes how the opening is credentialed and how it gets serviced, so confirm the exit device series it mounts to before ordering.

The Dexter ED2000T is a Grade 1 commercial exit device trim. Among the peer trims, duty level splits the field: the Falcon 179L 1790 Series classroom lever control trim and the Falcon 212L 20 Series escutcheon lever trim are medium duty, while the Falcon 510L classroom trim in the 24/25 Series is heavy duty, as are the Sargent 704ET and 704-ETL night latch lever trims and the Von Duprin 210K-BE and 230DT trims, all Grade 1. For a high-cycle opening in a school corridor or an apartment building entrance, the heavy duty Grade 1 trims are the closer match to the ED2000T.

The Dexter ED2000T is built both ways - as an Escutcheon Lever and as a Key-in-Lever Round Rose, in Classroom and Night Latch functions. The escutcheon version carries the lever and cylinder on a full backplate; the rose version puts the cylinder in the lever itself on a round rose. Peers follow the same split: the Marks USA M195F and M195N are lever and rose trims, the M195F with spring loaded roses, while the Corbin Russwin VT957ET nightlatch trim and the Tell EDELT53 and EDELT80 are escutcheon trims. Escutcheon trim covers more of the door face, which matters when replacing older hardware that left prep marks.

Design Hardware builds the KIL exit trim for 1000 and 2000 Series exit devices with a Schlage C keyway and a flat lever, in Grade 1, in both entry function and storeroom function. The Design Hardware LE08 is a Grade 1 entry function trim for the 1000R and 2000R devices with a flat lever and escutcheon. The Dexter ED2000T Grade 1 trim is offered in Classroom and Night Latch functions with an escutcheon lever or key-in-lever round rose, so for a keyed-alike program the question to settle first is which exit device family is on the openings.

Commercial duty, and it goes on both door types. Dexter ships a universal hardware pack covering wood and hollow metal, so a contractor does not have to specify the substrate when ordering or carry two fastener kits on the truck. Combined with non-handed trim and two finishes, one order line covers a run of mixed wood and HM openings in the same building.

The Dexter ED2000T offers an Escutcheon Lever and a Key-in-Lever Round Rose in SP28 aluminum painted and SP313 dark bronze painted. If lever shape is the driver, Delaney builds the 500L exterior trim in entrance function in three lever designs - the CT lever, the MD lever and the SD lever - so a fleet can be matched on appearance across openings. Note the function difference: the Delaney 500L trims are entrance function, while the Dexter ED2000T is Classroom or Night Latch.
