BEST 1705A 630 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I need to specify handing when ordering BEST 1700 trim?
No. The 1700 Series trim is non-handed and field reversible, so one part covers left and right hand openings. You set the hand during installation without extra hardware, which is useful when you're stocking trim for a building with mixed door swings.
2) What does classroom function mean on an exit device trim?
Classroom function means the outside lever is controlled by key: the key locks and unlocks the outside lever, and the exit device always allows free egress from inside. On the 1700 Series the lever also springs back to its home position by itself after being forced, so nobody has to reset it between periods.
3) Which trim type do I pick for a concealed vertical rod device versus a mortise device?
Match the trim type to the device you are dressing. The 1700 Series comes as C for concealed vertical rod devices, M for mortise devices, R for retrofit applications, Y as Precision trim, and a Standard trim. Pick the letter that matches the exit device chassis, then pick the grip: A, B, or C.
4) What other classroom function exit device trim can I use if I am not running a BEST 2000 Series device?
The BEST 1700 Series classroom trim is built for 2000 Series exit devices, so it is not the answer on another manufacturer's device. For classroom function on other devices, the Falcon 510L is a heavy duty classroom function exit device trim with a lever handle for 24/25 Series devices, and the Falcon 179L is a medium duty classroom function lever control trim for 1790 Series devices. Accentra also offers the 446F with an Augusta lever in classroom function for its exit devices, and Dexter's ED1000T-CLRM-TP-NC is a Grade 1 classroom trim that uses a thumbpiece and pull plate instead of a lever. Match the trim to the device series you already have on the door.
5) Can I use the BEST 1700 Series classroom trim if I need the lever released by an access control system?
No. The BEST 1700 Series is a mechanical classroom trim operated by key and lever, with no electrical connection. For trim that an access control system unlocks, use an electrified exit trim: Command Access ET15, ET25 and ET26 all run 12V or 24V with fail safe and fail secure options, with the ET26 built Grade 1 and field reversible; Command Access 230L is the electrified counterpart for Von Duprin 98/99, 33/35 and 22 style devices in the V96/36/23 Series. Falcon 510L-FSA/FSE is the electrified heavy duty version of the 510L lever trim for 25 Series devices, and Von Duprin E360L-BE-03 is Grade 1 electric passage trim with an 03 lever, fail safe, for 33/35A Series.
6) I need the outside lever to stay locked at all times instead of classroom function. What trim should I order?
Classroom function trim like the BEST 1700 Series lets the key control the outside lever and returns the lever to home position on its own. If you want the outside lever rigid at all times with the key retracting the latch, that is nightlatch trim: Sargent 704ET is a Grade 1 heavy duty night latch lever trim with field reversible operation for 700 Series devices, Sargent 744 is a Grade 1 freewheeling night latch trim where the key retracts the latch on 8700 and 8900 Series devices, and Dorma YR03R is a wide stile nightlatch escutcheon lever trim supplied less cylinder. For a storeroom lever instead, Marks USA M195F is a storeroom function lever and rose trim for M9900 touchbar devices.
7) Is there an antimicrobial option for healthcare or school door trim?
Yes. The 630AM UltraShield antimicrobial coating is available as a trim option on the 1700 Series, built on the 630 satin stainless finish. It's the one to specify on patient corridors and high-touch classroom doors.
8) Will this trim hold up to student abuse on a high traffic door?
It's built for it. The 1700 Series uses extra strength overload springs and cast stainless steel internal components, and the lever returns to home on its own after someone hangs on it. That combination is what keeps a classroom trim from ending up drooping after a semester.
9) What's the difference between ordering the R retrofit trim and the standard trim?
The R retrofit version is the one to order when you're replacing existing trim on a door that's already prepped, rather than doing a fresh install off the template. Standard trim assumes you're preparing the door to the manufacturer's template. Both are classroom function, both non-handed.
10) Is a pull trim with a cylinder hole the same thing as the BEST 1700 Series classroom trim?
No. The BEST 1700 Series gives you a lever with classroom function and a recessed cylinder, in A, B or C grip designs. A pull trim gives no lever at all: Tell EDPT is exit device pull trim with a cylinder hole supplied less cylinder, Design Hardware 2P-03NL-32D is Grade 1 pull trim with a cylinder hole in night latch entry form for 1000R and 2000R devices, and Dexter ED1500T-PULL-NC is a Grade 1 nightlatch trim with a raised lip pull plate. Those give a fixed pull where the 1700 Series gives an operating lever.
11) What should I use instead of the BEST 1700 Series if I want keypad access on the exit device rather than a key?
The BEST 1700 Series classroom trim is key operated. For code entry on the same opening, Dormakaba E-Plex 201U is an electronic pushbutton exit trim built for wide stile doors, and Dormakaba PowerPlex P201U is an exit trim for rim, mortise and surface vertical rod devices. Dormakaba E-Plex 5067 is a mechanical pushbutton mortise lock for wide stile applications if you are replacing the lock rather than trimming an exit device.
12) My openings need a keyed entry lever rather than classroom function. What are the options?
The BEST 1700 Series is classroom function. For keyed entry, Tell EDELT53 is an escutcheon lever trim in entry function for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick, and Tell EDTHP53 is the thumbpiece version of the same entry function for the same thickness range. Design Hardware KIL Entry is an entry function trim with a flat lever and Schlage C keyway for 1000 and 2000 Series devices, and Design Hardware LE08 is Grade 1 entry function trim with a flat lever and escutcheon for 1000R and 2000R devices. Delaney 500L is entrance function exterior trim offered with CT, MD and SD lever styles.
13) For a high-abuse school corridor, how does the BEST 1700 Series trim compare with other heavy duty lever trims?
The BEST 1700 Series uses extra strength overload springs and cast stainless steel internal components, with a lever that returns to home position without resetting, and it is non-handed and field reversible. Among other heavy duty lever trims, Falcon 510L is heavy duty classroom function for 24/25 Series devices, Sargent 704-ETL is a Grade 1 heavy duty night latch lever trim with key retract for PE Series devices, and Pamex E9000 is a Grade 1 storeroom trim with an L3 lever for doors 1-3/8 to 2 inches thick. The difference for your corridor is mainly which device family is on the door and whether you want classroom, storeroom or nightlatch behavior.
14) We standardize on antimicrobial hardware in healthcare wings. Does the BEST 1700 Series support that, or do I need a different trim?
The BEST 1700 Series classroom trim can be ordered with the 630AM UltraShield antimicrobial coating as a trim option, alongside standard finishes such as 630 satin stainless steel and 622 matte black, so you do not need to switch brands for a coated lever. If the same wing also needs storeroom rather than classroom behavior, Marks USA M195F is a storeroom function lever and rose trim and Tell EDELT80 is a storeroom function escutcheon lever trim for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick.
15) What finishes does the BEST 1700 classroom trim come in?
Eight: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 oil-rubbed satin bronze, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome, 630 satin stainless steel, and 690 statuary dark bronze. For school and healthcare corridors 630 is the usual standard because it hides wear; 622 and 613 are the ones that match darker architectural packages.
16) What do I order if I only need a blank escutcheon or knob trim on the outside of the exit device?
The BEST 1700 Series is a keyed classroom lever trim, so it is more hardware than a blank opening needs. For an outside face with no lever operation, Falcon 212L is a 20 Series blank escutcheon lever trim with shear pin protection, Von Duprin 210K-BE is Grade 1 heavy duty knob trim with a blank escutcheon for 22 Series devices, and Detex 02BN is dummy S-lever trim with a blank escutcheon for Value Series devices.
