Outside Trim for PDQ 6300 and 6400 Series Exit Devices
Exit device trim is the lever, pull, thumb latch or cylinder on the outside of a door with an exit device. It sets what someone outside can do, such as open the door freely, unlock it with a key, or open it only when the bar is locked down. People inside always leave by pushing the bar.
PDQ's 6-prefix trim is built for the 6300 Series (wide stile) and 6400 Series (narrow stile) exit devices. The line covers narrow escutcheon (6N), wide escutcheon (6W), rose lever (6S), thumb latch (6T), grip pull (6G, 6GW), pull plate (6P) and cylinder only (6C) trim, M-suffix versions for the 6300M mortise device, and the electrified 6W99 for access control.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need outside trim on a panic bar?
Outside trim is only needed when people must open the door from outside. An exit-only door can go without trim or use a blank or exit only function such as the 6N or 6P in function 01. If staff need key entry with no handle, the 6C cylinder only trim adds a key on the night latch function.
Which 6-prefix trim fits the 6300 and 6400 Series?
The 6300 Series takes the 6N, 6W, 6S, 6T, 6G, 6P and 6C, plus the electrified 6W99. The narrow stile 6400 Series takes the 6N, 6T, 6G and 6C, but the 6T does not fit the 6400C. M-suffix trims (6NM, 6WM, 6GM, 6GWM, 6CM) are for the 6300M mortise device.
What is the difference between the 6N and 6W trim?
The 6N is a narrow escutcheon sized for slim door stiles and fits both 6300 and 6400 devices. The 6W uses a wider escutcheon plate for wide stile 6300 devices and can cover existing holes on a retrofit.

PDQ 6C03630 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the PDQ 6C03 night latch trim actually do on the outside of the door?
The 6C03 is cylinder-only trim: a rim cylinder on the outside face with no lever, no pull, and no plate. Turning the key retracts the latch so staff can get in; with no key the door stays secure from outside. People inside always get out by pushing the exit device bar. Use it when you want key entry and nothing for the public to grab.
2) Which PDQ exit devices does the 6C03 cylinder trim fit?
It mounts to the PDQ 6300 Series wide stile devices and the 6400 Series narrow stile devices. If you are working on the 6300M mortise device, the 6C is not the one, order the M-suffix 6CM instead.
3) Will the 6C03 trim work on an aluminum storefront door with a narrow stile?
Yes. The 6C cylinder-only trim is one of the trims listed for the narrow stile 6400 Series, along with the 6N, 6T and 6G, so it suits aluminum storefront stiles where a wide escutcheon will not fit. The cylinder-only format needs the least face real estate of the group.
4) What door prep does the PDQ 6-prefix trim need?
The 6-prefix trim uses a 2-hole bolt pattern on 7 inch centers, or a 4-hole pattern on 7 inch by 1-3/8 inch centers. That is the same simple prep across the line, so swapping between trim styles later does not mean re-drilling the face.
5) Can I key the 6C03 into my existing Schlage or BEST master key system?
Yes, keyway is a required selection at order. Conventional cylinders default to Schlage C (SCC), with Schlage E, Schlage C-K, Arrow AR1, Corbin 59A1/60/L4, Russwin D1 and 981, Sargent LA and RA-RC, Accentra (Yale) E1R and GA, Falcon E-R, Kwikset, and PDQ Restricted TA also offered. For small format interchangeable core, BEST A is the default with B through R, WA-WH, TB/TD/TE, and PDQ1, PDQ2 and PDQ3 exclusive keyways available. Keying is specified as keyed different, keyed alike, or zero bitted.
6) Can I order the 6C03 trim without a cylinder so my locksmith supplies it?
Yes. Choose Less Cylinder to get the trim bare, or an IC prep instead: SF6 or SF7 for SFIC with a 6-pin or 7-pin core, SFL for SFIC prep less core, SFC or SFP for construction cores, and LF6, LFL or LFC for Schlage large format interchangeable core. Conventional cylinder is the default if you do not pick one.
7) I am retrofitting and the door already has holes in the face. Will cylinder-only trim cover them?
Cylinder-only trim has no escutcheon plate, so it will not hide existing holes. For that job the 6W wide escutcheon is the trim PDQ calls out for covering existing holes on a retrofit, and it works with the wide stile 6300 Series.
8) I need the outside trim to lock and unlock from a card reader. Is the 6C03 the right choice?
No. Cylinder-only night latch trim is mechanical, key only. For access control, PDQ's 6W99 electrified trim runs on 12 to 24 VDC or VAC, ships fail secure and converts to fail safe in the field, and allows key entry without changing the electronic lock state.
9) Do I have to order the 6C03 handed for a left or right hand door?
No handing to specify. The 6C03 is non-handed, so one part covers either swing.
10) What finishes does the PDQ 6C03 come in, and can I match the rest of my hardware?
Eight finishes: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 613E dark oxidized satin bronze, 619 satin nickel, 622 flat black, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, and 630 satin stainless steel. Each builds its own part number, for example 6C03605 for bright brass. Satin chrome and satin stainless are the usual matches to commercial 626/630 openings.
11) Should I use cylinder-only trim or a lever trim on my panic device?
Pick cylinder only (6C) when outside users should never pull the door open by hand and only staff with a key get in, such as a service or staff-only entry. Pick a lever trim if someone outside needs to open the door normally, in classroom, storeroom or passage function, for example the 6S rose lever or the 6N and 6W escutcheon trims. If nobody enters from outside at all, an exit only or dummy trim like the 6N or 6P in function 01 is enough.
12) Can PDQ 6-prefix trim be used on thick doors over 2 inches?
Thick door options cover 2-1/2 to 2-3/4 inch doors and doors up to 3 inches. That option is not available on 6300M mortise trim.
13) Is antimicrobial coating available on the 6C03 night latch trim?
The antimicrobial coating option on this trim is restricted to the 626 satin chrome and 630 satin stainless finishes. In the broader 6-prefix line the coating is offered on the 6N, 6W, 6T, 6G and 6P touch trims.
