PDQ 4200 Series Wide Stile Exit Device Trim
PDQ 4-prefix exit device trim is the outside trim for PDQ 4200 Series exit devices, used with the 4200R rim and 4200V surface vertical rod devices. It controls entry from the pull side of the door while the exit device handles egress from the inside.
The family covers wide escutcheon (4EW) and narrow escutcheon (4EN) lever trim, 4S rose lever trim, 4K sectional knob trim, 4P plate and pull trim, and 4GW grip pull trim. Functions range from exit only and dummy trim to night latch, classroom, storeroom and passage, so each 4200 opening can be matched to how it needs to work.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which exit devices does 4200 Series trim fit?
Every 4-prefix PDQ trim fits the 4200R rim and 4200V surface vertical rod exit devices. It is not designed for the 6300 or 6400 Series, which use 6-prefix trim.
Is 4K knob trim ADA compliant?
No. Knob trim requires grasping and turning, which ADA and ICC/ANSI A117.1 do not allow on an accessible route. PDQ recommends lever trim such as the 4EW or 4EN where accessibility compliance is required.
What is the difference between the 4EN and 4EW?
The 4EN narrow escutcheon gives a slimmer profile for narrow stile doors, while the 4EW is built for wide stile 4200 doors. Both are lever operated and pair with the same 4200 Series exit devices.

PDQ 4K08630L – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Which PDQ exit devices does the 4K08 classroom knob trim fit?
The 4K08 is outside trim for PDQ 4200 Series wide stile exit devices: the 4200R and 4200RF rim devices and the 4200V and 4200VF surface vertical rod devices. It will not work on PDQ 6300 or 6400 Series devices, which take 6-prefix trim instead.
2) Will PDQ 4K08 trim work on a 2 inch thick door?
Yes. PDQ 4-prefix exit device trim, including the 4K08 knob, is listed for doors 1-3/4 to 2 inches thick. Anything thinner than 1-3/4 inches falls outside that range.
3) Is knob trim like the 4K08 allowed on an ADA accessible route?
No. Knob trim has to be grasped and turned, which ADA and ICC/ANSI A117.1 do not permit on an accessible route. PDQ points to lever trim for those openings: the 4EW wide escutcheon or 4EN narrow escutcheon lever trim, or 4S rose lever trim, are the compliant choices for 4200 Series devices.
4) Do I have to order the PDQ 4K08 handed?
No. The 4K08 sectional knob trim is non-handed, so one part covers left and right hand reverse openings. Only PDQ's 4GW grip pull trim has to be specified LHR or RHR.
5) Can I get the PDQ 4K08 prepped for small format interchangeable core or Schlage LFIC?
Yes, four cylinder configurations are offered: conventional cylinder (4K08630D), less cylinder (4K08630L), SFIC prep less core (4K08630SFL), and Schlage LFIC prep less core (4K08630LFL). The SFL and LFL versions ship without the core, so the interchangeable core is a separate line on the order.
6) Can PDQ 4K08 classroom trim be keyed into our existing master key system?
Yes, if you take the conventional cylinder version. Keying choices include keyed different, 0-bitted with two blank keys, keyed alike in groups (2 or less, 3-4, 5 or more), master keyed, master keyed to existing bittings, and construction master keyed. Keyway is a separate required selection and covers Schlage C, C-K and E, Sargent LA and RA-RC, Corbin 59A1, 60 and L4, Russwin D1, Arrow AR1, Accentra (Yale) E1R and GA, Falcon E-R, Kwikset, and PDQ's restricted TA.
7) What does the 08 classroom function on the PDQ 4K08 actually do?
08 is the ANSI/BHMA classroom function. Key outside retracts the latch for entry, and the key controls whether outside stays locked or unlocked; the exit device on the inside always allows free egress. On the 4K08 that outside control is a sectional knob rather than a lever.
8) I need to cover old holes in the door from the trim I am replacing. Is knob trim the right pick?
Probably not. The 4K08 is a sectional knob, so it has a small footprint and will not hide existing prep. For a retrofit where you need to cover old holes, PDQ's 4EW wide escutcheon trim is the one built to cover existing door prep and holes, and it is lever operated.
9) Which PDQ 4200 trim drops into a door already prepped 161?
The 4S rose lever trim is the one that fits standard 161 prepped doors, mounted with through bolts, and it can be had with Philadelphia, Boston or Miami levers. The 4K08 sectional knob is a different trim style in the same family.
10) What finish does PDQ 4K08 trim come in?
630 satin stainless steel is the finish on the 4K08, across all four cylinder configurations. If you are standardizing a building on 630 exit hardware, every 4K08 variant matches.
