Pamex E9000 - Storeroom L3 Lever Heavy Duty Exit Device Trim

Only Pamex. The E9000 lever trim mounts to the Pamex E9000 exit device and its accessories, and nothing else. If you have a Von Duprin, Sargent, or Falcon device on the door, you need trim built for that device family, for example the Von Duprin 210 series trim for 22 Series devices or the Sargent 704ET for the 700 Series. Trim and device have to come from the same family or the tailpiece and mounting holes will not line up.

Storeroom is the function you want on a door that must stay locked from the outside at all times. The outside lever is always fixed, and a key retracts the latch for entry; the lever never unlocks and stays locked. Inside, the push bar always lets people out. That is what makes it standard for stock rooms, mechanical and electrical rooms, and IT closets. If you want a door that can be left unlocked during business hours, storeroom is the wrong pick, you would want an entry or classroom function trim instead, such as the Design Hardware KIL Entry trim or the Falcon 510L classroom trim.

1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors. That covers standard 1-3/4 inch commercial doors plus thinner 1-3/8 inch openings and thicker 2 inch doors without any special order. Most peer trims stop at 1-3/4, the Tell EDELT80 storeroom trim, for instance, is rated 1-3/8 to 1-3/4, so the E9000 is the one to reach for on a thick door.

No handing to specify. The E9000 lever trim is reversible, so one part covers left and right hand openings. For a property manager stocking spares across a building, that means a single part number on the shelf instead of two.

6-pin Schlage C is the standard keyway. It is also available in 5-pin SC, 5-pin KW (Kwikset), and SFIC Best A2, so it can be brought into an existing Schlage or Kwikset system, or run on small format interchangeable core if the building is on Best A2. Order it either with the standard cylinder or less cylinder if your locksmith is supplying and keying the cylinder.

The Pamex E9000 storeroom trim uses a heavy duty lever in storeroom function on a Grade 1 exit device trim. The closest like-for-like alternatives in storeroom function are the Design Hardware KIL storeroom exit trim, which is Grade 1 with a Schlage C keyway and flat lever for 1000 and 2000 Series exit devices, the Marks USA M195F storeroom lever and rose trim with spring loaded roses for M9900 touchbar devices, and the Tell EDELT80 escutcheon lever trim in storeroom function. All three key the same way a storeroom trim does - the outside lever stays rigid and the key retracts the latch. The deciding factor is not the function but the device: the E9000 trim mounts only to Pamex E9000 exit devices, the KIL to Design Hardware 1000 and 2000 Series, the M195F to the Marks M9900 touchbar, so pick by the device already on the door.

The Pamex E9000 is a mechanical storeroom trim - it is locked or unlocked by key only, with no electrical control. For an opening tied to a card reader or access control panel, use an electrified trim. Command Access offers the ET15, ET25 and ET26 electrified exit trims with 12V/24V operation and fail safe/fail secure options, the ET26 built to Grade 1 with a field reversible design, plus the 230L electrified trim for Von Duprin V96, 36 and 23 Series devices. Falcon's 510L-FSA/FSE is a heavy duty electrified trim for 25 Series devices, and the Von Duprin E360L-BE-03 is a Grade 1 heavy duty electric passage trim with the 03 lever, fail safe, for 33 and 35A Series devices. Dormakaba covers standalone credentials instead of a wired panel: the E-Plex 201U electronic pushbutton exit trim and the PowerPlex P201U for rim, mortise and surface vertical rod devices.

A storeroom trim like the Pamex E9000 keeps the outside lever rigid at all times and requires a key to retract the latch, so it is the wrong choice for a door that should pull open freely from outside. For always-unlocked operation, use a passage function trim: the Arrow SRX01 Sierra lever with rose for ED910, S1150 and S1250 devices, the Corbin Russwin 3310AET passage trim for ED300 Series, the Corbin Russwin x810ET passage trim for the ED4000 Series, or the x910ET heavy-duty passage trim for the ED5200S, ED5200, ED5400 and ED5800 Series. Each of these mounts to its own manufacturer's devices, so match the trim to the device family on the opening.

No. The Pamex E9000 trim is storeroom function with a heavy duty lever, so the lever is the operating handle and the key retracts the latch through it. Nightlatch trims are a different animal: the Sargent 704ET and 704-ETL are Grade 1 heavy duty night latch lever trims, the 704-ETL with key retract function, 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. Others drop the lever entirely - the Von Duprin 110MD-NL is a night latch cylinder assembly only, and the Accentra 121NL is a nightlatch trim. If the opening needs a lever the buyer can grab and turn, a nightlatch cylinder or freewheeling trim will not behave the way a storeroom lever does.

On the Pamex E9000 storeroom trim the outside lever is always locked and the key retracts the latch each time - it never leaves the door unlocked behind you. A classroom trim instead lets the key set the outside lever unlocked and leave it that way until keyed back. Classroom options include the Falcon 510L heavy duty classroom trim with lever handle for 24 and 25 Series devices, the Falcon 179L medium duty lever control trim for 1790 Series devices, the Accentra 446F Grade 1 classroom trim with the Augusta lever, and the Dexter ED1000T classroom trim in a thumbpiece and pull plate configuration, supplied less cylinder. For a room that gets locked down at the lever rather than re-keyed on every entry, classroom is the function to specify.

Several trims share the lever-and-escutcheon appearance of the Pamex E9000 storeroom trim but have no locking function at all. Dummy trims are fixed and do nothing: the Detex 02BN dummy S-lever trim with blank escutcheon for Value Series devices, the Von Duprin 230DT dummy trim for 22 Series with a heavy duty 10 gauge steel escutcheon, and the Dexter ED1500T dummy trim with a handle pull plate. Blank escutcheon trims are the same trap - the Falcon 212L is a blank escutcheon trim for 20 Series devices and the Von Duprin 210K-BE pairs a knob with a blank escutcheon for 22 Series. If the opening needs a key to get in, none of these will do it; a storeroom or entry function trim will.

For thick doors this is the deciding spec. The Pamex E9000 storeroom lever trim covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors and is field reversible for hand. The Tell EDELT80 storeroom escutcheon lever trim covers 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, as do the Tell EDELT53 entry trim and EDPT pull trim. So on a 2 inch leaf - common on heavy exterior openings and some fire-rated assemblies - the Pamex reaches where the Tell trims stop, while on a standard 1-3/4 inch commercial door either will land.

Not with a single trim part number. The Pamex E9000 storeroom trim is compatible only with Pamex E9000 exit devices and accessories, and the peers work the same way - the Marks USA M195F storeroom trim is for the M9900 touchbar, the Design Hardware KIL storeroom trim is for the 1000 and 2000 Series, the Command Access 230L fits Von Duprin V96, 36 and 23 Series devices, and the Sargent 744 is for 8700 and 8900 Series surface vertical rod and mortise devices. What a facility can standardize on is the function and the keying: specify storeroom function and one keyway across the property, then order the matching trim for each device family. The E9000 takes 6-pin SC standard, with 5-pin SC, 5-pin KW and SFIC Best A2 available, and the Design Hardware KIL storeroom trim uses a Schlage C keyway.

The Pamex E9000 storeroom trim is built to ANSI/BHMA A156.3, Grade 1. Where a spec or a facility standard calls for Grade 1 on the trim, the Grade 1 peers are the Design Hardware KIL storeroom and KIL entry trims and the LE08 entry trim, the Dexter ED1500T Grade 1 trim with regular lever, the Sargent 704ET and 704-ETL heavy duty Grade 1 night latch lever trims and the 744, and the Von Duprin E360L-BE-03 heavy duty Grade 1 electric passage trim. Function still separates them - only the Design Hardware KIL storeroom matches the E9000's storeroom operation, the rest change how the door behaves.

Order it standard if the door is a one off and you want a working cylinder in the box. Order less cylinder when the building is on a master key system and your locksmith is pinning cylinders to the existing keyway, or when the property already has a stock of cores. Both choices are offered in all three finishes.

Three finishes: US26D/626 satin chrome, US10B/613 oil rubbed bronze, and US19/622 matte black. Matte black is offered on the L3 lever only, so if you are matching black hardware across a building, the L3 is the lever you have to specify. Satin chrome and oil rubbed bronze are both available with or without a cylinder.

Grade 1 to ANSI/BHMA A156.3, which is the top commercial grade for bored and exit device trim, and it is a heavy duty lever built on a zinc substrate. That is the grade specified for schools, hospitals, and other high traffic institutional openings.

The Pamex E9000 in storeroom function relocks every time. If the opening wants the key to leave the lever unlocked for business hours, entry function trims do that: the Design Hardware KIL entry trim, Grade 1 with a Schlage C keyway and flat lever for 1000 and 2000 Series devices, and the LE08 entry trim with a flat lever and escutcheon for the 1000R and 2000R devices. Delaney's 500L exterior trim is entrance function and comes with the CT, MD or SD lever style. Tell's EDELT53 escutcheon lever trim and EDTHP53 thumbpiece trim are keyed entry and cover 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, against 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch on the Pamex, so the Pamex is the one that reaches a 2 inch leaf.

If the door only needs to be pulled open when it is already unlocked, or opened with a key at a cylinder, a pull trim costs less hardware than a keyed lever trim like the Pamex E9000 storeroom. BEST offers exit only pull trim in several stile widths: the 1701 for wide stile and the 2001 narrow stile with a cover plate, both for 2000 Series devices. The Design Hardware 2P-03NL is a Grade 1 pull trim with a cylinder hole in night latch configuration for the 1000R and 2000R devices, the Tell EDPT is a pull trim with a cylinder hole supplied less cylinder, and the Dexter ED1500T-PULL-NC is a Grade 1 nightlatch pull trim with a raised lip. What you give up is the lever: a pull will not satisfy an opening that needs an ADA-style operable lever on the outside.

Stile width decides this before function does. The Pamex E9000 storeroom trim is a heavy duty lever trim and mounts only to Pamex E9000 exit devices. Where the door is a narrow stile aluminum leaf, BEST's narrow stile trims are built for it: the 2901 exit only lever trim from the 2900 Series and the 2001 exit only pull trim with cover plate, both for 2000 Series devices. BEST's wide stile counterparts are the 4901 lever trim from the 4900 Series and the 1701 pull trim, and Dormakaba's E-Plex 201U electronic pushbutton exit trim and E-Plex 5067 mechanical pushbutton mortise lock are wide stile as well. Confirm the stile before selecting the lever.

The Pamex E9000 is a heavy duty lever trim built to ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1 with a zinc substrate. Where the opening sees light interior traffic and Grade 1 is not required by spec, medium duty trims exist: the Falcon 179L lever control trim for 1790 Series devices is medium duty in classroom function, and the Falcon 212L escutcheon trim for 20 Series devices is medium duty with shear pin protection. Both mount to Falcon devices, not Pamex, so this is a decision made when the device itself is being selected rather than a swap onto an existing E9000.

An escutcheon trim carries the lever on a full plate that covers the device mounting and any cylinder prep; a rose trim mounts the lever on a small round rose instead. The Pamex E9000 is a heavy duty lever trim in storeroom function offered in L3, LN, LH and LF lever styles. Among storeroom peers, the Marks USA M195F is a lever and rose trim with spring loaded roses, while the Tell EDELT80 is an escutcheon lever trim and the Design Hardware LE08 uses a flat lever with escutcheon. The escutcheon versions hide more of the existing door prep, which matters on a retrofit where the old trim left holes; a rose leaves that prep exposed.

Getting hand wrong on a trim order means a return, so this is worth confirming before the PO goes out. The Pamex E9000 storeroom lever trim is reversible, so one part number covers both hands. Among the alternatives, the Command Access ET26 electrified trim is Grade 1 with a field reversible design and the Sargent 704ET night latch lever trim has field reversible operation. Those three let a stocking buyer carry one SKU for left and right hand openings rather than splitting inventory.

Commercial. It is a Grade 1 heavy duty lever trim for exit devices, which is hardware for egress doors in commercial and institutional buildings, not a residential leverset.
