PDQ 6N01 Narrow Escutcheon Trim, Blank (No Lever)
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 6N01630 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the PDQ 6N01 trim actually do on the outside of the door?
Nothing, by design. The 6N01 is a blank narrow escutcheon plate with no lever and no cylinder, so the outside of the door has no way to open it. People inside still exit by pushing the bar. It is the trim you pick for an exit-only opening where you want a finished plate on the outside face instead of bare door. If staff need key entry with no handle, the 6C cylinder-only trim in night latch function is the one to order instead.
2) Will the PDQ 6N narrow escutcheon trim fit a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
Yes. The 6N is a narrow escutcheon sized for slim stiles and works with both the wide stile 6300 Series and the narrow stile 6400 Series exit devices. On aluminum storefront with a 6400 Series device, the 6N, 6T and 6G are the trims that fit. The 6W wide escutcheon is not a narrow stile option.
3) What door prep do I need to mount the PDQ 6N escutcheon trim?
Two patterns are accepted: 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 whole prep for the blank 6N01, since there is no lever spindle or cylinder to bore for.
4) I am replacing old trim and there are extra holes in the door. Is the 6N the right choice?
Probably not. The narrow 6N plate is sized for slim stiles and will not hide much. For a retrofit on a wide stile 6300 Series door, the 6W wide escutcheon is the one made to cover existing holes. If the door is narrow stile, the 6N is your option regardless, since the 6W does not fit narrow stile.
5) My exit device is a PDQ 6300M mortise. Will the 6N01 work on it?
No. Mortise devices take the M-suffix trims, which for this family are the 6NM, 6WM, 6GM, 6GWM and 6CM. The plain 6N01 is for the 6300 rim and vertical rod devices and the narrow stile 6400 Series. Also note the thick door options are not available on 6300M trim.
6) Does PDQ 6N01 trim have to be ordered left hand or right hand?
No handing to specify. The 6N01 is non-handed, so one part covers either swing. That makes it easy to stock a single finish across a building and not worry about which way each door opens.
7) What finishes does the PDQ 6N01 blank trim come in?
Seven: 605 Bright Brass, 606 Satin Brass, 613E Dark Oxidized Satin Bronze, 622 Flat Black, 625 Bright Chrome, 626 Satin Chrome and 630 Satin Stainless Steel. Each one has its own part number, so satin chrome is 6N01626 and satin stainless is 6N01630. Match the number to the exit device finish already on the opening and the hardware will read as one set.
8) Is there an antimicrobial version of PDQ 6N trim for a healthcare corridor?
Yes. An AM antimicrobial coating on tactile surfaces can be added to the 6N, and it is offered only in 626 Satin Chrome and 630 Satin Stainless Steel. The same two finishes are the only ones that take the weatherized option for exterior openings.
9) We need a lever on the outside, not a blank plate. What do I order instead of 6N01?
Pick a lever function in the 6N escutcheon rather than the 01 blank. Functions across the 6-prefix line include dummy, night latch, classroom, storeroom and passage, and lever styles are Philadelphia (PHL), Boston (BSN), Miami (MIA), Orlando (ORL), Chicago (CHI) and Los Angeles (LAX). For an access-controlled door, the electrified 6W99 runs on 12 to 24 VDC or VAC, ships fail secure and can be field-changed to fail safe.
