Tell GMLPUSH-DU – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Tell push paddle work with my existing deadlatch?
The Tell reversible push paddle is built to pair with Tell DL Series deadlatches. It is the exterior/interior paddle trim that operates that latch, so if the opening already has a DL Series deadlatch you can add or replace the paddle without touching the latch. It is not a standalone latch and won't drive a mortise lock or a cylindrical lockset.
2) Is this push paddle handed, or can I use it on either a left or right hand door?
It's reversible, so one part covers both hands. You set it for the swing you have during install rather than ordering a specific hand, which is useful if you keep spares on a cart for a building with mixed openings.
3) What are the dimensions of the Tell push paddle escutcheon and housing?
The escutcheon measures 4 inches high by 1-11/32 inches wide, the paddle and housing measure 5-7/16 inches, and the face is 2-5/16 inches. Check the 1-11/32 inch escutcheon width against your stile before ordering, since that is the number that decides whether the plate sits flat on a narrow aluminum stile.
4) Is this paddle rated for a high-traffic commercial entrance?
It carries a Grade 2 rating and is classed as residential duty. Grade 2 suits light to moderate use, a rear service door or a light-duty entrance. For a main entrance taking heavy daily cycles, step up to a Grade 1 commercial paddle or exit device instead.
5) Does this push paddle take a key cylinder?
Yes, it is a keyed paddle, so it works on an opening where you need key control from the outside rather than a push-only pull. The latch itself is the Tell DL Series deadlatch it mounts to.
6) What finishes does the Tell push paddle latch come in?
Two: clear aluminum and duranodic (dark bronze anodized). Aluminum is the usual match for mill-finish storefront framing, duranodic for dark bronze frames.
7) Should I use a push paddle or a lever on a storefront-style door?
A paddle is the better pick when hands are full or the door sees carts and deliveries, because you drive it with a forearm or hip. A lever or thumbpiece suits an opening where you want a more finished look and key control on both sides. The Tell paddle is reversible and keyed, so it covers both swings while keeping outside key control.
