Tell Exit EDELT53 Device Escutcheon Lever Trim, Entry Function

The EDELT53 escutcheon lever trim covers doors from 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick, so it works on both standard commercial 1-3/4 inch doors and older 1-3/8 inch openings without a spacer kit.

Entry (keyed entry) function means the outside lever is key controlled: key the cylinder and the lever will retract the exit device latch to let someone in from the outside. Egress is always free from the inside through the exit device push bar, independent of the trim.

Keying is a required choice on the Tell EDELT53. You can order it keyed different (KD), keyed alike across several locks (KA) if you want one key to run a group of doors, or select the no-cylinder option and supply your own rim cylinder to match an existing keyway. If you go keyed alike, give the key code you want the group cut to.

No. Coverage stops at 1-3/4 inches. For a thicker leaf, the Pamex E9000 exit trim is rated 1-3/8 to 2 inches and will cover up to a 2 inch door.

The Tell EDELT53 is a keyed entry function escutcheon lever trim. The closest like-for-like options are the Design Hardware KIL entry function exit trim, which uses a flat lever and a Schlage C keyway for 1000 and 2000 series exit devices, and the Design Hardware LE08 entry function trim for 1000R and 2000R devices, which also pairs a flat lever with an escutcheon. Both are Grade 1. The Delaney 500L exterior trim is also an entrance function lever trim and comes in CT, MD and SD lever styles if you want to match an existing lever shape.

The EDELT53 is a mechanical keyed entry trim with no electrified option. For a lever trim that an access control system can release, use an electrified exit trim such as the Command Access ET15, ET25 or ET26, all of which run 12V or 24V with fail safe and fail secure options and the ET26 adds a field reversible Grade 1 design, or the Command Access 230L electrified trim for V96/36/23 series devices. Falcon offers the 510L-FSA/FSE electrified heavy duty lever trim for 25 series devices, and Von Duprin the E360L-BE-03 fail safe electric passage trim with 03 lever for 33/35A series.

No. The Tell EDELT53 is an entry function trim, so the lever can be unlocked for free access. For a lever that stays locked and only operates by key, look at a storeroom function trim such as the Design Hardware KIL storeroom function trim for 1000 and 2000 series devices with Schlage C keyway, the Pamex E9000 storeroom L3 lever trim, or the Marks USA M195F storeroom lever and rose trim for M9900 touchbar devices.

They are not the same function. The EDELT53 is a keyed entry trim; a nightlatch trim keeps the lever rigid and uses the key to retract the latch. If nightlatch is what the opening actually needs, options include the Sargent 704ET night latch lever trim with field reversible operation, the Sargent 704-ETL with key retract, the Dorma YR03R wide stile escutcheon lever trim in nightlatch function less cylinder, the Corbin Russwin VT957ET nightlatch escutcheon trim for ED5000 series, and the Accentra AU-441F night latch keyed lever trim with Augusta lever.

The Tell EDELT53 is rated for doors 1-3/8 to 1-3/4 inches thick. For a thicker leaf, the Pamex E9000 heavy duty exit device trim covers 1-3/8 to 2 inches and comes with a storeroom L3 lever in Grade 1 construction.

The EDELT53 is Tell Pro Line trim intended for Tell exit devices, so for an existing device you are better matching the device maker's own trim. Von Duprin offers the 110MD-NL night latch cylinder assembly for 22, 55 and 98/99 devices on metal and wood doors; Sargent offers the 744 Grade 1 trim with key retract for 8700 and 8900 surface vertical rod and mortise devices; Corbin Russwin offers passage trim by series, 3310AET for ED3000, x810ET for ED4000 and x910ET for ED5200S/ED5200/ED5400/ED5800. Accentra's 426F Augusta lever escutcheon trim fits 6000 and 1800 series devices, and the Arrow SRX01 passage Sierra lever trim fits ED910, S1150 and S1250.

Entry trim, like the Tell EDELT53, gives key control of the lever for normal outside entry. A nightlatch trim is a simpler cylinder or pull arrangement where the key retracts the latch for occasional access, and it is what you want on a back-of-house or service door rather than a main entrance. Nightlatch options include the Accentra 121NL, the Dorma YR03R escutcheon with R lever, and the Sargent 704ET.

Entry trim is the right call if you want key operation of the lever for routine access. If you want the outside lever permanently rigid with key-only entry on a storeroom or mechanical room, choose a storeroom function trim instead, such as the Design Hardware KIL storeroom trim, the Marks USA M195F, or the Pamex E9000 with an L3 lever.

Yes. Select the KA (keyed alike) option when ordering multiple EDELT53 trims and they will be cut to one key, with a key code field if you need a specific code. Ordering KD gives each door its own key instead.

No. The EDELT53 has a cylinder for keyed entry. A blank escutcheon trim has no key prep - the Falcon 212L is a blank escutcheon lever trim for 20 series devices with shear pin protection, and the Von Duprin 210K-BE pairs a knob with a blank escutcheon for 22 series devices. The Von Duprin 230DT is dummy trim only. Choose those when the outside is meant to be non-keyed or purely decorative.

The Tell EDELT53 is a keyed entry lever trim. If the outside face only needs a pull, the BEST exit only pull trims cover both stile widths - the 1700 series for wide stile and the 2001 narrow stile pull trim with cover plate, both for 2000 series exit devices. For a lever shape without key function, BEST offers exit only lever trim in the 2901 narrow stile and the 4900 series wide stile. The Detex 02BN is a dummy S-lever trim with a blank escutcheon.

The Tell EDELT53 is built for keyed entry, not classroom. For classroom function escutcheon lever trim, consider the Accentra 446F Augusta lever Grade 1 classroom trim, the Falcon 510L heavy duty classroom lever trim for 24/25 series devices, or the Falcon 179L lever control trim for 1790 series devices in classroom function. Dexter also offers the ED1000T classroom trim, though that one is a thumbpiece and pull plate rather than a lever.

The Tell EDELT53 is a keyed trim and takes a cylinder, so keying is selected as keyed different or keyed alike. If the opening should use a code instead, Dormakaba offers pushbutton exit trim: the E-Plex 201U electronic pushbutton exit trim in wide stile, and the PowerPlex P201U exit trim for rim, mortise and surface vertical rod devices.

Instead of the Tell EDELT53 lever trim, Design Hardware offers a 2P-03NL pull trim with a cylinder hole in night latch function for 1000R and 2000R devices, Grade 1. Dexter has the ED1500T nightlatch trim with a raised lip pull plate and the ED1500T dummy function trim with a handle pull plate, both Grade 1. Dexter's ED1500T series also comes with a regular lever if you later decide a lever suits the opening better.

The EDELT53 is an escutcheon lever trim, so it covers a taller area of the door face. If you prefer a rose-style trim with a smaller footprint, the Marks USA M195F uses a lever and rose with spring loaded roses on M9900 touchbar devices, the M195N is a lever and rose trim in the M195N series, and the Arrow SRX01 is a Sierra lever with rose in passage function.

Satin chrome, 626/US26D. If the other openings in your building are already on satin chrome levers and closers, this matches that family rather than a brass or bronze set.
