Tell EDTHP53 Exit Device Tumbpiece Trim, Entry Function

Keyed entry: the thumbpiece retracts the latch when the trim is unlocked, and the cylinder locks or unlocks the outside thumbpiece. Push side always exits free through the exit device. If you want the outside to stay locked at all times and only the key to retract the latch, you want a nightlatch or storeroom trim instead, like the Sargent 704ET nightlatch lever trim or the Design Hardware KIL storeroom trim.

The Dexter ED1000T-CLRM-TP-NC is the nearest match in form: it is a thumbpiece by pull plate by cylinder exit device trim for the ED1000 series, built to Grade 1, and it ships less cylinder. The Tell EDTHP53 is a thumbpiece trim with keyed entry function in 626 satin chrome. The main functional difference is that the Dexter trim is classroom function while the Tell is entry function, so confirm which behavior the opening needs before swapping.

Several keyed-entry lever trims cover that. The Design Hardware KIL entry function trim fits 1000 and 2000 series exit devices with a flat lever and Schlage C keyway, and the Design Hardware LE08 is an entry function flat lever with escutcheon for the 1000R and 2000R devices, both Grade 1. The Delaney 500L is an entrance function lever exit trim offered in CT, MD, and SD lever styles. The Tell EDTHP53 keeps the keyed entry function but uses a thumbpiece rather than a lever, so the choice is driven by whether the opening calls for a lever grip.

That is nightlatch behavior rather than entry. The Sargent 704ET is a night latch lever exit trim with field reversible operation, Grade 1 heavy duty, and the Sargent 704-ETL adds key retract function in the PE series. The Corbin Russwin VT957ET is a nightlatch escutcheon trim in stamped or formed stainless for ED5000 series devices, and the Accentra 121NL is a nightlatch trim. The Tell EDTHP53 is keyed entry function, which is a different operating mode.

Dummy and blank escutcheon trims mount in the same footprint but do not operate the device: the Von Duprin 230DT is a dummy trim for 22 series devices, the Von Duprin 210K-BE is a knob with blank escutcheon, the Detex 02BN is a dummy S-lever with blank escutcheon, the Falcon 212L is a blank escutcheon lever trim for 20 series, and the Dexter ED1500T-DUMM-PULL is a dummy function trim with handle pull plate. The Tell EDTHP53 is keyed entry function and does retract the latch, so these are not drop-in replacements for it.

The Tell EDTHP53 covers doors from 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. The Pamex E9000 storeroom L3 lever heavy duty exit trim covers 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, Grade 1, so it reaches the thicker openings. Note it is storeroom function rather than keyed entry, which changes how the outside trim behaves.

A thumbpiece trim like the Tell EDTHP53 pairs a pull with a thumb-press to retract the latch, which suits exterior entry doors and holds up well to heavy pull traffic. Lever trim gives one-hand operation without pressing down a thumbpiece, which is what most people specify for interior and accessible openings. Lever alternatives in the same category include the Delaney 500L CT style entrance trim and the Design Hardware LE08 entry function trim with escutcheon.

Yes, select keyed alike when ordering and enter your key code if you are adding to an existing system. For buildings standardizing across many doors, that puts every thumbpiece trim on one key; choose keyed different if each tenant or room needs its own.

The Tell EDTHP53 is keyed entry function. Storeroom trims such as the Design Hardware KIL storeroom function trim for 1000 and 2000 series devices with Schlage C keyway and flat lever, the Marks USA M195F with spring loaded roses for M9900 touchbar devices, and the Pamex E9000 with L3 lever keep the outside trim locked at all times and require the key each time. Entry function is the choice when the outside trim is meant to be usable without a key once unlocked.

Yes. Command Access offers electrified exit trims with 12V/24V operation and fail safe or fail secure options in the ET15, ET25 and 230L lines, with the ET26 built to Grade 1 and field reversible. Von Duprin E360L-BE-03 is a Grade 1 electric passage trim with the 03 lever, fail safe, for 33/35A series devices, and Falcon 510L-FSA/FSE is an electrified heavy duty lever trim for 25 series devices. The Tell EDTHP53 is a mechanical keyed entry thumbpiece trim with no electrical connection.

Dormakaba covers that: the E-Plex 201U is an electronic pushbutton exit trim in the E-Plex 2000 series, wide stile, the PowerPlex P201U exit trim works with rim, mortise and SVR devices, and the E-Plex 5067 is a mechanical pushbutton lock mortise in the 5000 series, wide stile. The Tell EDTHP53 uses a key cylinder and thumbpiece instead of a code pad, and it is ordered with keyed different or keyed alike keying.

Classroom function lever trims include the Falcon 510L, a heavy duty classroom trim with lever handle for 24/25 series devices, the Falcon 179L lever control trim in the 1790 series at medium duty, and the Accentra 446F Grade 1 trim with Augusta lever. The Tell EDTHP53 is keyed entry function with a thumbpiece, so it is a different operating mode and a different grip.

Satin chrome only, US26D / 626. That is the standard institutional finish, so it will blend with most existing satin chrome exit devices and lever hardware in a school, hospital, or office corridor. If your other openings are brass or bronze, this trim will not match.

Yes, the EDTHP53 is a commercial-grade Pro Line exit device trim, not a residential part. It is intended for exit device openings in commercial and institutional buildings.

The Design Hardware 2P-03NL pull trim has a cylinder hole and is built for the 1000R and 2000R exit devices, Grade 1, with night latch operation. The Dexter ED1500T-PULL-NC is a nightlatch function trim with a raised lip pull plate. Both give you a cylinder in a pull rather than a thumbpiece, and they operate as night latch rather than the keyed entry function of the Tell EDTHP53.
