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 standard 1-3/4 inch commercial openings as well as the thinner 1-3/8 inch doors you still find on older interior work. If your door falls outside that range, this trim is not the one.

Keying is a required selection on the EDELT53. You pick keyed different, keyed alike if you are matching several openings in the same building, or None if you want it less cylinder because you are supplying your own mortise cylinder off an existing system. There is also a key code field if the property is already on a recorded system and you need the new trim to match.

No. The Tell EDELT53 is an entry function trim, meaning the outside lever can be left unlocked for free operation. For key retracts latch only, go to a nightlatch or storeroom trim, such as the Sargent 704ET night latch lever trim or the Design Hardware KIL storeroom function trim.

On a nightlatch trim the lever is rigid until the key is turned, and the key retracts the latch rather than unlocking the lever. Examples are the Sargent 704ET Grade 1 heavy duty nightlatch lever trim with field reversible operation, the Sargent 704-ETL with key retract for PE Series devices, the Dorma YR03R wide stile escutcheon R lever nightlatch trim supplied less cylinder, and the Corbin Russwin VT957ET nightlatch escutcheon trim in stamped or formed stainless steel for ED5000 Series. The Tell EDELT53 is a keyed entry function trim.

The Tell EDELT53 is a mechanical keyed entry trim, so for card reader or remote release control you need an electrified trim. The Command Access ET15, ET25 and ET26 electrified exit trims run 12V or 24V with fail safe and fail secure options, the ET26 being Grade 1 and field reversible. The Command Access 230L covers Von Duprin V96, 36 and 23 Series. The Von Duprin E360L-BE-03 is a Grade 1 fail safe electric passage trim with the 03 lever for 33 and 35A Series, and the Falcon 510L-FSA/FSE is an electrified heavy duty lever trim for 25 Series.

Two close matches are the Design Hardware KIL entry function exit trim, which uses a flat lever and is built for 1000 and 2000 Series exit devices with a Schlage C keyway, and the Design Hardware LE08 entry function exit trim for the 1000R and 2000R devices, which pairs a flat lever with an escutcheon. Both are Grade 1 and share the keyed entry function of the Tell EDELT53. The Delaney 500L exterior lever trim is another entrance function option and comes in CT, MD and SD lever styles if you want a different lever shape.

Go to a storeroom function trim. The Design Hardware KIL storeroom function exit trim is a Grade 1 flat lever trim for 1000 and 2000 Series devices with a Schlage C keyway, the Pamex E9000 is a Grade 1 heavy duty storeroom trim with an L3 lever covering 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Marks USA M195F is a storeroom lever and rose trim with spring loaded roses for M9900 touchbar devices. The Tell EDELT53 is a keyed entry function trim, so the lever can be left unlocked.

The Tell EDELT53 covers doors from 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. For a thicker door, the Pamex E9000 heavy duty storeroom exit trim with the L3 lever is listed for 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch doors and is Grade 1. Note it is a storeroom function rather than keyed entry, so the lever stays locked and the key retracts the latch.

Yes. Keyed alike is an ordering option, so a property manager standardizing a row of exit doors can have every EDELT53 operate on one key. Order them together on the same keyed alike selection, and supply the key code if the building is already on an established system. Keyed different is the choice when each opening needs its own key.

The EDELT53 is supplied in US26D satin chrome, the standard dull chrome finish that pairs with the satin stainless and satin chrome closers, hinges and levers used across most commercial buildings.

Same escutcheon-and-lever format, different functions: the Design Hardware LE08 and KIL are Grade 1 entry function trims, the Pamex E9000 is a storeroom L3 lever trim covering 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors, the Falcon 510L is a heavy duty classroom lever trim, and the Delaney 500L comes in CT, MD and SD lever styles in entrance function. Pick by function first, then confirm the trim matches the exit device brand and series you already have on the door.

Just the outside trim. The EDELT53 is the escutcheon plate and lever that mounts on the pull side of the door and drives the exit device latch through it. You still need the exit device itself on the push side, plus a cylinder unless you order it keyed from Tell.

Use a passage function trim. The Arrow SRX01 is a passage function Sierra lever trim with rose for ED910, S1150 and S1250 devices, the Corbin Russwin 3310AET is a passage trim for ED300 Series rim, surface vertical rod and mortise devices, and the Corbin Russwin x910ET is a heavy duty passage trim for ED5200S, ED5200, ED5400 and ED5800 Series. The Tell EDELT53 is a keyed entry trim and is ordered with keyed different, keyed alike, or less cylinder.

Not without checking the door prep. The Tell EDELT53 is an escutcheon lever trim, meaning the lever sits on a full plate. The Marks USA M195F and M195N mount the lever on roses instead, the M195F with spring loaded roses for M9900 touchbar devices, and the Arrow SRX01 is a Sierra lever with rose. A rose trim exposes any existing escutcheon-sized prep on the door face, so switching styles can leave visible holes.

For classroom openings, the Accentra 446F is a Grade 1 Augusta lever exit trim in classroom function, the Falcon 510L is a heavy duty classroom lever trim for 24 and 25 Series devices, the Falcon 179L is a medium duty classroom lever control trim for the 1790 Series, and the Dexter ED1000T-CLRM-TP-NC is a Grade 1 classroom thumbpiece and pull plate trim supplied less cylinder. These differ from the Tell EDELT53 keyed entry trim in that the key controls the outside lever for classroom security use.

Blank and dummy escutcheon trims. The Falcon 212L is a 20 Series escutcheon lever trim in blank escutcheon form, the Detex 02BN is a dummy S-lever with a blank escutcheon, the Dexter ED1500T-DUMM-PULL is a dummy function trim with a handle pull plate, and the Von Duprin 210K-BE carries a blank escutcheon. They mount in a similar footprint but have no cylinder and do not retract the latch, so they cannot replace the Tell EDELT53 keyed entry trim.

Yes. The Dormakaba E-Plex 201U is an electronic pushbutton exit trim in the E-Plex 2000 Series for wide stile applications, the E-Plex 5067 is a mechanical pushbutton mortise lock in the 5000 Series, and the Dormakaba PowerPlex P201U exit trim works with rim, mortise and surface vertical rod devices. These replace the key credential used on the Tell EDELT53 keyed entry trim with a code.

It is a commercial product, part of the Tell Pro Line, built as escutcheon trim for exit devices on commercial openings. You would not put it on a house door; it has no use there, since it only functions bolted to an exit device.

For a pull, the Design Hardware 2P-03NL is a Grade 1 pull trim with a cylinder hole in night latch function for 1000R and 2000R devices, and the Dexter ED1500T-PULL-NC is a Grade 1 nightlatch pull plate trim with a raised lip. For a knob, the Von Duprin 210K-BE is a Grade 1 heavy duty knob trim with a blank escutcheon for 22 Series. The Tell EDELT53 is a lever trim, which is the form most often specified where ADA operation matters.
