Night Latch Lever Trim for TownSteel and Von Duprin Exit Devices, Reversible Handing, Sentinel Lever, Schlage C Keyway Mortise Cylinder, 626/US26D Satin Chrome

The Night Latch Lever Trim from the m-Kestros series is an architectural-grade mechanical trim designed for TownSteel exit devices as well as Von Duprin 22 and 99 Series. Its innovative design provides exceptional versatility and compatibility, enabling seamless adaptation between different exit device preps.

This trim is equipped with a night latch function (KES903), allowing entry by key. The key retracts the latch and is removable only when in the locked position — ideal for controlled access applications. The Sentinel lever provides a robust and ergonomic grip, and the trim includes a Schlage 6-pin “C” keyway mortise cylinder, pre-installed.

Reversible handing (LHR/RHR) makes this trim field-adaptable, while the 626/US26D Satin Chrome finish offers a clean and professional look for commercial, institutional, and high-traffic environments.

TownSteel MKS-09-R-S-626-SC – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the TownSteel MKS-09 night latch trim fit a Von Duprin exit device?
It mounts to Von Duprin 22 and 99 Series devices as well as TownSteel exit devices. That is the stated compatibility for the m-Kestros MKS-09-R-S-626-SC trim, so it works as a replacement or upgrade trim on existing Von Duprin 22 and 99 rim and vertical rod installations.
2) What does the R in MKS-09-R mean, and which exit device types does it cover?
The R designates the device prep this trim is cut for: rim devices, surface vertical rod (SVR), less bottom rod (LBR), and 3-point devices. If you have a mortise exit device you need the M prep instead, and a concealed vertical rod device takes the C prep. Ordering the R trim for a mortise or CVR device will not line up.
3) How does a night latch trim actually work on the door?
With the KES903 night latch function, the outside lever is always free-turning until a key retracts the latch. Turn the key, the latch pulls back, and the lever will then open the door. The key can only be removed when the trim is back in the locked position, so nobody accidentally leaves the opening unsecured. Egress from the inside is unaffected because the exit device handles that.
4) Do I need to order a left hand or right hand version of this TownSteel exit trim?
No handing to specify. The MKS-09 trim is field reversible between LHR and RHR, so one part covers both swings. That is useful if you are stocking spares for a building with doors swinging both ways.
5) Does this TownSteel night latch trim come with a cylinder, or do I have to buy one?
A mortise cylinder is included and pre-installed, cut for the Schlage 6-pin C keyway. If your building is already keyed on Schlage C you can have it keyed into the existing system rather than sourcing a separate cylinder.
6) Can I use this trim on a fire rated door opening?
Yes. The m-Kestros night latch lever trim is UL 10C fire rated, which is the positive pressure fire door test standard, so it is suitable for rated openings in schools, hospitals and commercial corridors when installed on a matching rated device.
7) What backset does the MKS-09 night latch lever trim use?
Fixed 2-3/4 inch backset. There is no 2-3/8 inch option, so the exit device chassis prep on your door has to be on the standard 2-3/4 inch commercial centerline. Most rim and vertical rod exit device preps are.
8) Is this the whole exit device or just the outside trim?
Just the outside trim. The MKS-09 is an escutcheon style lever trim that mounts to the pull side of a door already fitted with a compatible exit device. You still need the exit device itself, whether it is a TownSteel unit or a Von Duprin 22 or 99.
9) What finish is the Sentinel lever trim, and will it match my other door hardware?
It is 626 / US26D satin chrome, the most common commercial finish, so it matches satin chrome levers, closers and exit devices already hanging in most office, school and healthcare buildings. The lever style is Sentinel, a lever pull rather than a knob or thumbpiece.
