Tell EDELT80 Exit Device Escutcheon Lever Trim, Storeroom Function

Plan on it going with a Tell exit device. Exit trim is matched to the device it mounts to, the mounting hole pattern and the tailpiece have to line up with that manufacturer's chassis, and trim from one brand generally will not bolt onto another's. If you have a different device on the door, order the trim built for it: Von Duprin 22 series trim for a 22 series device, BEST 2900 series trim for a Precision 2000 series device, Corbin Russwin x910ET for the ED5200 and ED5400 families, Sargent 704ET for the 700 series. Read the model off the touchbar or the end cap before you order.

Storeroom function means the outside lever is always locked. The key retracts the latch to let you in, but the lever itself never unlocks and stays fixed, so the door relocks behind every entry. Free egress is always available from the inside by pushing the exit device. That is the usual choice for exterior doors, mechanical rooms, and stockrooms where you never want the opening left unsecured by accident. If you want the outside lever to be switchable to unlocked for business hours, storeroom is the wrong function, look at a classroom or entrance function trim instead, such as the Delaney 500L entrance function trim or the Accentra 446F classroom function trim.

You choose at order time. Keying is a required selection on the EDELT80: pick KD (keyed different) or KA (keyed alike) if you want it supplied keyed, or select the less-cylinder option and fit your own mortise cylinder. Less cylinder is the one to take if the building is already on a keyway or master key system you need this door to join. If you are ordering keyed alike across several doors, or matching an existing key code, there is a key code field to enter it on.

On the Tell EDELT80 storeroom trim the lever is always locked and the key retracts the latch, so the lever is the operating handle once the cylinder is turned. Nightlatch trim uses the key alone to retract the latch. Sargent's 704ET and 704-ETL are Grade 1 heavy duty nightlatch lever trims, the 704-ETL with key retract for the PE Series and the 704ET field reversible for the 700 Series, and the Sargent 744 is a Grade 1 freewheeling nightlatch trim where the key retracts the latch, for 8700 and 8900 surface vertical rod and mortise devices. Corbin Russwin's VT957ET-LC is a nightlatch escutcheon trim in stamped or formed stainless for the ED5000 Series, and the Dorma YR03R is a wide stile nightlatch escutcheon with an R lever supplied less cylinder. A nightlatch is not a substitute if you want the lever itself to unlock and stay operable.

The Tell EDELT80 covers doors from 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. For a 2 inch leaf, the Pamex E9000 storeroom trim carries a 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch door thickness range in Grade 1 with an L3 lever, so it holds the same storeroom behavior on the thicker door. Measure the leaf at the lock edge before ordering, since trim spindle and screw lengths are set by that dimension.

Storeroom function, which is what the Tell EDELT80 escutcheon lever trim provides, keeps the outside lever locked at all times. For an opening that should stay free-entry, use a passage-function trim instead: the Arrow SRX01 is a passage exit device trim with a Sierra lever on a rose for ED910, S1150 and S1250 devices, and Corbin Russwin offers passage trim across its Grade 1 series - the 3310AET for ED3000, the x810ET for ED4000, and the x910ET for the ED5200S, ED5200, ED5400 and ED5800 devices. Passage trim carries no cylinder, so the outside lever always retracts the latch.

Yes, keyed alike is one of the ordering choices on the EDELT80, and there is a key code field so you can call out the code you want them cut to. That is the option for a property manager standardizing a set of stockroom or service doors on one key. Order all the trims on the same order with KA selected so they come cut to a single key.

Three real alternatives in storeroom function. The Pamex E9000 with the L3 lever is Grade 1 heavy duty and covers a wider door range, 1-3/8 to 2 inches, so it is the one to take if your doors run thicker than 1-3/4. The Marks USA M195F is a lever and rose trim rather than an escutcheon plate, for the M9900 touchbar. The Design Hardware KIL storeroom trim is Grade 1 and comes in a Schlage C keyway with a flat lever, which matters if the building is already keyed to Schlage C.

The Tell EDELT80 is mechanical trim keyed at the door. To release the outside lever from a card reader or a front desk, use electrified exit trim. Command Access builds the ET15, ET25 and ET26 electrified exit trims with 12V and 24V operation and fail safe or fail secure selection, the ET26 in Grade 1 with a field reversible design, and the 230L electrified trim for Von Duprin V96, 36 and 23 Series devices. Falcon's 510L-FSA/FSE is heavy duty electrified trim for the 25 Series, and Von Duprin's E360L-BE-03 is Grade 1 heavy duty electric passage trim with the 03 lever, fail safe, for 33 and 35A Series devices.

No. The Tell EDELT80 is storeroom function, where the outside lever stays locked and a key retracts the latch. Classroom function lets a key lock and unlock the outside lever, so it can be left unlocked for a period. Classroom exit device trims in the same family include the Accentra 446F Grade 1 trim with the Augusta lever, the Falcon 510L heavy duty lever trim for the 24 and 25 Series, the Falcon 179L medium duty lever control trim for the 1790 Series, and the Dexter ED1000T-CLRM-TP-NC Grade 1 thumbpiece and pull plate trim supplied less cylinder. Order classroom only if a teacher or staff member needs to leave the door on free entry.

If the door only ever needs to be pulled from outside and never unlocked by key, skip the keyed storeroom lever the Tell EDELT80 provides and use exit-only or dummy trim. BEST offers the 1701 wide stile exit only pull trim and the 4901 wide stile exit only lever trim for 2000 Series devices, plus the narrow stile 2001 exit only pull with cover plate and the 2901 narrow stile exit only lever. The Von Duprin 230DT is a Grade 1 heavy duty dummy trim with a 10 gauge steel escutcheon for 22 Series devices, and the Detex 02BN is a dummy S-lever trim with a blank escutcheon for Value Series devices. None of these retract the latch, so entry is by another door or by someone opening from inside.

The Tell EDELT80 is an escutcheon lever trim, and escutcheon trim needs the stile width to carry the plate, which is why storefront openings are usually handled with narrow stile trim instead. BEST publishes narrow stile exit trim explicitly: the 2001 exit only pull with cover plate and the 2901 exit only lever trim, both for 2000 Series exit devices. Its 1701 and 4901 are the wide stile counterparts. Confirm the stile width on the door leaf before choosing between escutcheon and narrow stile trim.

The Tell EDELT80 is an escutcheon design, meaning one plate spans the lever and cylinder. Marks USA takes the other approach: the M195F is a storeroom function lever and rose exit device trim with spring loaded roses for the M9900 touchbar, and the M195N is a lever and rose trim in the M195N Series, also storeroom function. Rose trim covers less of the door face, so it is the choice when an existing escutcheon cutout or a glass light does not leave room for a full plate.

Instead of the keyed cylinder the Tell EDELT80 storeroom trim uses, pushbutton exit trim lets you issue codes. The Dormakaba E-Plex 201U is an electronic pushbutton exit trim in the E-Plex 2000 Series for wide stile doors, and the PowerPlex P201U is pushbutton exit trim for rim, mortise and surface vertical rod devices. The E-Plex 5067 is a mechanical pushbutton mortise lock in the E-Plex 5000 Series for wide stile openings. Code-based trim changes how you rekey a property, so confirm it fits the way your site manages access before switching a fleet of doors.

Grade 1 exit device trim in this class includes the Pamex E9000 storeroom trim with the L3 lever, the Design Hardware KIL storeroom and KIL entry trims, the Design Hardware LE08 entry trim and the 2P-03NL night latch pull trim with cylinder hole, the Dexter ED1500T lever trim and the ED1500T dummy and nightlatch pull versions, the Sargent 704ET and 704-ETL nightlatch lever trims and the 744 freewheeling trim, and Von Duprin's 210K-BE, 230DT, E360L-BE-03 and 110MD-NL. Match the trim's function to the opening as well as the grade - the Tell EDELT80 covers the storeroom case for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors.

No, and it is the substitution most often ordered by mistake. The Von Duprin 110MD-NL is a night latch cylinder assembly for metal and wood doors, Grade 1 heavy duty, for 22, 55 and 98/99 exit trim - it is the cylinder and its housing, with no lever to grip. The Tell EDELT80 is a full escutcheon lever trim, so the outside handle comes with it. Order the cylinder assembly only when the door already has its handle or pull and you are replacing the keyed portion.

Commercial. The EDELT80 is Tell's Pro Line exit device trim, built for the commercial openings exit devices go on, apartment building service doors, schools, retail back-of-house, and similar traffic. It is not a residential leverset.

Escutcheon, meaning the lever sits on a full backplate rather than a small round rose. That matters on a retrofit: an escutcheon covers a larger area of the door face, so it hides old prep, scratches, and holes left by whatever trim came off. If you want the smaller rose look instead, the Marks USA M195F is a storeroom lever on spring loaded roses.

A lever trim like the Tell EDELT80 storeroom escutcheon replaces knob and blank-plate trim where ADA operation or facility standardization calls for a lever. The Von Duprin 210K-BE is a knob with blank escutcheon for 22 Series devices, Grade 1 heavy duty in the 210 exit trim line, and the Falcon 212L is a 20 Series escutcheon lever trim with a blank escutcheon and shear pin protection, medium duty. Note that blank escutcheon trim carries no cylinder, so swapping to a keyed storeroom lever adds a cylinder to the order that the blank version never needed.
