BEST 1703A 613 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I need to order a left hand or right hand version of this BEST exit trim?
No handing to specify. The 1700 Series trim is non-handed and field reversible, so one part covers both left and right hand doors and you set the handing during installation.
2) What does night latch function mean on this BEST 1700 trim, and does it lock behind you?
Night latch means the outside lever is rigid until the key is turned. Turn the key and the lever retracts the exit device latch to let you in; the door stays secure from outside at all other times, and egress is always free from the push side. The lever springs back to home position on its own, so there is nothing to reset after each use.
3) What is the difference between the standard, C, and R trim types on the BEST 1700 Series?
Three trim types are offered: Standard Trim for typical rim and mortise 2000 Series applications, C for concealed vertical rod devices, and R retrofit trim when you are replacing existing trim and want to reuse the existing door prep. Pick the one that matches the device type already on the opening.
4) I need a night latch trim but my exit device is Sargent or Corbin Russwin, not BEST. What do I use?
Match the trim to the device brand and series. For Sargent, the 704ET is the night latch lever trim for the 700 Series, and the 744 covers Sargent 8700 and 8900 surface vertical rod and mortise devices with a key retracting latch. On Corbin Russwin ED5000 Series devices, the VT957ET nightlatch escutcheon trim is the counterpart. The BEST 1700 only fits 2000 Series devices.
5) What is the closest night latch exit device trim to the BEST 1700 Series from another manufacturer?
The Sargent 704ET is the nearest equivalent. It is a night latch lever exit device trim with field reversible operation, Grade 1 heavy duty, for the Sargent 700 Series. The BEST 1700 Series is likewise a night latch function trim with field reversibility, built for BEST/Precision 2000 Series wide stile exit devices. Both are trim only, so the deciding factor is which exit device is on the door - the 704ET mounts to Sargent 700 Series devices, the 1700 Series to 2000 Series devices.
6) If the opening needs access control, what electrified exit trim can I use in place of a mechanical night latch trim?
Command Access offers electrified exit trims with 12V/24V operation and fail safe/fail secure options in the ET15, ET25 and ET26 series, and the 230L for Von Duprin V96/36/23 Series devices; the ET26 is Grade 1 with a field reversible design. Dormakaba's E-Plex 201U is an electronic pushbutton exit trim for wide stile doors, and the PowerPlex P201U covers rim, mortise and SVR devices. The BEST 1700 Series is mechanical night latch trim with no electrified option.
7) What should I use if the opening needs classroom or storeroom function instead of night latch?
For classroom, the Falcon 510L is a heavy duty classroom function lever trim for 24/25 Series devices, and the Accentra 446F is a Grade 1 classroom trim with the Augusta lever. For storeroom, the Pamex E9000 is a Grade 1 storeroom L3 lever trim fitting 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Design Hardware KIL storeroom trim is Grade 1 for 1000 and 2000 Series devices with a Schlage C keyway. The BEST 1700 Series is a night latch function trim, where the key retracts the latch and the lever is otherwise rigid.
8) Can I use the BEST 1700 trim to replace existing trim without redrilling the door?
That is what the R retrofit trim type is for. Ordering the R version rather than the standard trim is how you address an existing door prep. Verify the existing hole pattern against the template before you cut anything new.
9) What finishes does the BEST 1700 Series night latch trim come in for matching other doors in a building?
Eight finishes: 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. 630 satin stainless is the usual match for commercial openings running satin chrome or stainless hardware.
10) Is there an antimicrobial version of the BEST 1700 trim for a healthcare facility?
Yes. The 630AM option adds UltraShield antimicrobial coating over the satin stainless finish, which is the version specified for patient areas and other high touch healthcare openings.
11) Will this trim hold up on a high abuse door like a school corridor or a loading area?
It is built for that duty. Cast stainless steel internal components and extra strength overload springs let the lever take force without stripping the mechanism, and the cylinder sits recessed so it is harder to attack or wrench. Commercial rated only.
12) Should I specify night latch or classroom function trim on a school exterior door?
Night latch keeps the outside lever rigid at all times and requires the key each entry, which suits after hours exterior doors. Classroom function lets the key set the lever to unlocked for the period the room is in use. If classroom is what the drawing calls for, the Falcon 510L is a heavy duty classroom lever trim and the Falcon 179L covers 1790 Series devices in medium duty.
13) What looks like a substitute for the BEST 1700 Series night latch trim but will not work the same way?
Dummy and passage trims are the common mix-up. The Von Duprin 230DT is a dummy trim for 22 Series with a 10 gauge steel escutcheon, the Detex 02BN is a dummy S-lever with blank escutcheon, and the Arrow SRX01 is a passage function Sierra lever trim for ED910, S1150 and S1250 devices. None of those retract the latch with a key. The BEST 1700 Series night latch trim is keyed, with a recessed cylinder for added security.
14) Which night latch exit trim is a simpler option than a full lever escutcheon?
The Von Duprin 110MD-NL is a night latch cylinder assembly for metal and wood doors, Grade 1 heavy duty, used with 22, 55 and 98/99 exit trim - it is just the keyed cylinder assembly with no lever. The BEST 1700 Series night latch trim is a full lever trim with a recessed cylinder and automatic lever return. Choose the cylinder assembly if you only need key retraction from outside and no outside handle.
15) Is there another wide stile night latch lever trim besides the BEST 1700 Series?
The Dorma YR03R is a wide stile exit device lever trim, escutcheon with R lever, nightlatch function, supplied less cylinder. The BEST 1700 Series is also a wide stile night latch trim and is non-handed with field reversibility, and it offers A, B and C grip designs plus standard, retrofit and concealed vertical rod trim types.
16) What is the difference between the BEST 1700 Series night latch trim and a pull trim with a cylinder hole?
The Design Hardware 2P-03NL is a Grade 1 pull trim with a cylinder hole in night latch arrangement for 1000R and 2000R exit devices, and the Tell EDPT is a pull trim with a cylinder hole, less cylinder, for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors. Those give you a fixed pull rather than a moving handle. The BEST 1700 Series night latch trim uses a lever that automatically returns to the home position with no manual resetting, which matters where ADA lever operation is expected on the outside.
17) Are there other night latch trims with freewheeling or key-retract levers for vandal resistance?
The Sargent 744 is a Grade 1 night latch trim with a freewheeling lever where the key retracts the latch, for 8700 and 8900 Series surface vertical rod and mortise devices, and the Sargent 704-ETL is a Grade 1 heavy duty nightlatch lever trim with key retract for PE Series devices. The BEST 1700 Series takes a different approach to abuse resistance, using extra strength overload springs and cast stainless steel internal components.
18) My exit devices are Accentra 6000 or 1800 Series - what night latch trim fits those?
The Accentra AU-441F is a night latch keyed lever trim with the Augusta design, and the Accentra 426F Augusta lever escutcheon trim is built for the 6000 and 1800 Series. The Accentra 121NL is a nightlatch trim as well. The BEST 1700 Series night latch trim is engineered for 2000 Series wide stile devices and will not cross to an Accentra device.
19) What is the A, B, and C grip option on this BEST exit trim?
Grip Design selects the lever style: A Grip, B Grip, or C Grip. All three carry the same night latch function, so choose on feel and on matching the lever shape already used elsewhere in the building.
