PDQ 6N03 Narrow Escutcheon Trim, Night Latch (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 6N03630 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the PDQ 6N03 night latch trim actually do on the outside of the door?
The 6N03 is a key-only entry: a narrow escutcheon plate with a cylinder and no lever. Turn the key and the latch retracts so you can pull the door open; there is no handle to grab when it is locked. People inside always exit by pushing the bar. It suits back-of-house and service doors where staff need key access from outside but you do not want a lever hanging on the door.
2) Which PDQ exit devices does the 6N03 trim fit?
It mounts to the PDQ 6300 Series wide stile devices and the 6400 Series narrow stile devices. The 6N narrow escutcheon is one of the few in the 6-prefix line that covers both. If you are working with the 6300M mortise device, the 6N will not do it, you need the M-suffix trim (6NM).
3) Will the 6N03 work on an aluminum storefront door with a narrow stile?
Yes, that is what the narrow escutcheon is for. The 6N plate is sized for slim stiles and is listed for the narrow stile 6400 Series devices used on aluminum storefront openings. The wide 6W escutcheon is the one that will not fit a narrow stile.
4) What door prep does the PDQ 6N trim need?
Non-handed trim with a simple prep: a 2-hole bolt pattern on 7 inch centers, or a 4-hole pattern on 7 x 1-3/8 inch centers. Because it is non-handed, one part covers both left and right hand doors, so you do not have to specify handing when ordering.
5) What do I have to specify when ordering the PDQ 6N03?
Four things are required beyond the plate itself: finish, cylinder type, keyway and keying. Cylinder choices run from a conventional cylinder or less cylinder through SFIC preps (SF6 6-pin, SF7 7-pin, SFL less core, SFC or SFP construction core) and Schlage LFIC preps (LF6, LFL, LFC). Keying is keyed different, keyed alike, or zero bitted. Optional add-ons are TD4 or TD5 for thick doors, antimicrobial coating, and weatherized finish.
6) We want the corridor door on access control. Is the 6N03 the trim for that?
No. The 6N03 is mechanical, key only, with no electrical option. For a door tied into an access control system, PDQ's electrified trim is the 6W99 (or 6WM99 on the mortise device): it locks and unlocks from the access control system on 12 to 24 VDC or VAC, ships fail secure and can be changed to fail safe in the field, and a key still gets you in without changing the lock state.
7) Can the 6N03 be keyed into our existing building master key system?
Yes, in most common systems. Keyways offered include Schlage C, C-K and E, Corbin 59A1, 60 and L4, Russwin D1 and 981, Sargent LA and RA-RC, Arrow AR1, Accentra (Yale) E1R and GA, Falcon E-R, Kwikset, PDQ Restricted TA, the BEST SFIC families (A through R plus WA, WB, WC, WG, WH, TB, TD, TE) and PDQ exclusive SFIC keyways. If you run small format interchangeable core, order an SFIC prep and either supply your own cores (SFL) or take 6-pin or 7-pin cores with it.
8) Should I use the 6N narrow escutcheon or the 6W wide escutcheon?
Pick by stile width and by what is already drilled in the door. The 6N is the narrow plate, fits both 6300 and 6400 devices, and is the only choice on a narrow stile aluminum door. The 6W is wider, is for wide stile 6300 devices, and its larger plate covers existing holes on a retrofit, which makes it the better pick when you are replacing some other brand's trim on a hollow metal door.
9) What finishes does the PDQ 6N03 night latch trim come in, and which ones take the special coatings?
Seven finishes: 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. The antimicrobial coating and the weatherized finish option are limited to 626 and 630 only, so an exterior or healthcare door that needs either of those has to be ordered in satin chrome or satin stainless.
10) I just need key access with no handle on an exit only door. Is the 6N03 the right trim or should I use the 6C cylinder only?
Both give key entry with no handle on a night latch function. The 6N03 does it with a narrow escutcheon plate behind the cylinder, which dresses the door face and hides the prep. The 6C is cylinder only, no plate. If the door needs no outside access at all, go to a blank or exit only function such as the 6N or 6P in function 01 instead.
11) Does the 6N03 trim come with a lever, and can I add one later?
No lever. The 03 night latch function is key-pull only, and no lever is supplied or fitted. If the opening needs a lever on the outside, order a lever trim instead and pick the style, Philadelphia, Boston, Miami, Orlando, Chicago or Los Angeles on the escutcheon trims, or Philadelphia, Boston and Miami on the 6S rose trim.
