Imperial USA IMPTH1100-LH1-AL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Imperial USA TH1100 lever handle work with a narrow stile mortise deadlatch that isn't Imperial?
Yes. The TH1100 storefront lever is built to pair with the TH1103 and TH1104 deadlatch mortise locks, but it works with any brand of narrow stile mortise deadlatch. The connection is a 1/4 inch square hardened, heat treated wrought steel spindle, so as long as the deadlatch you have takes a 1/4 inch square spindle, the handle drives it.
2) I ordered the left hand TH1100 lever but my door is right hand. Do I have to send it back?
No, keep it. The TH1100 ships non handed and is four way reversible, so one handle covers all four configurations. You change the hand at the cam plug: pop the C-clip off, flip the cam, put the C-clip back on. It arrives set up left handed, and that is the only thing the LH1 designation reflects.
3) Is the TH1100 lever handle a complete replacement set, or do I need to buy the mounting hardware separately?
It's a complete set. The cam plug, mounting screws, templates and installation instructions all come in the box. The one thing not included is the lock itself, so if you are replacing a whole assembly rather than just a broken handle, you still need the narrow stile mortise deadlatch, the TH1103 or TH1104 for instance.
4) What size is the escutcheon plate on the TH1100 storefront lever, and will it cover the old holes on my aluminum door?
The aluminum escutcheon measures 1-3/8 in. x 4 in. That narrow width is what lets it sit on a storefront stile, but it also sets the limit on what it will hide. If the trim you are pulling off is wider or has screw holes outside a 1-3/8 by 4 inch footprint, those holes will still show. Measure the existing plate before you commit.
5) My storefront lever droops and won't return level. Does the TH1100 fix that?
That's the failure it's built against. The escutcheon carries a heavy duty spring mechanism that keeps the lever from sagging, which is the usual reason a storefront handle gets swapped out on a high traffic entrance. If the lock body itself is what's dragging, replacing only the trim won't cure it; you'd want the deadlatch changed too.
6) What finishes does the Imperial TH1100 lever handle come in, and which one matches an existing storefront?
Two: AL aluminum and DU duranodic. AL is the clear anodized look that matches most mill finish and clear anodized aluminum storefronts. DU is the dark bronze anodized finish used on bronze tone frames. Match it to the frame, not to the old handle, since anodized trim fades at a different rate than the extrusion.
7) Should I put a lever or a pull and paddle on my glass storefront door?
A lever like the TH1100 is the choice when the door has a narrow stile mortise deadlatch in it and you want a latching, lockable entry that operates from a handle on both sides. Pulls and paddles don't retract a deadlatch, so they suit doors where an exit device or a deadbolt does the latching. If your stile already has a mortise deadlatch pocket, the lever is the direct answer, and it will take the TH1103 or TH1104 or any other brand of narrow stile mortise deadlatch.
8) Can I standardize on one lever handle across a building with doors swinging different ways?
Yes, and that's the practical reason to spec the TH1100 across a property. Because it's four way reversible at the cam plug, one part number covers in swing and out swing, left and right. Stock a single finish, AL or DU, and it covers every storefront opening that has a narrow stile mortise deadlatch. That cuts the shelf down to one SKU instead of two handings.
9) Is the TH1100 lever rated for a commercial entrance or is it a residential grade handle?
Commercial. It's a storefront lever for commercial storefront openings, built out of aluminum with a wrought steel spindle at the core. The aluminum is the escutcheon and lever body; the load path through the lock is the 1/4 inch square hardened, heat treated steel spindle.
