Trimco 1001-2 Heavy Duty Push Plate (3-1/2" x 15")

The 1001-2 is a 3-1/2 x 15 inch push plate, and it can be ordered with or without a cylinder cutout. Order Cut for Cylinder (CFC) Yes when the plate sits on a door where a rim or mortise cylinder comes through the same area, typically a night latch or a keyed exit door, so the plate clears the cylinder instead of you drilling it in the field. On a plain push side with nothing coming through the door, order CFC No. Every finish is offered both ways.

Yes, the 1001 Series push plate is ADA compliant. A push plate needs no grasping, pinching, or twisting to operate, which is why it gets specified on the push side of doors in schools, public buildings, government and military facilities, and multifamily projects. It is a commercial-rated item, not a residential one.

Standard 1001 Series sizes are 3 x 12, 3-1/2 x 15, 4 x 16, 6 x 16 and 8 x 16 inches, and Trimco will build custom sizes. The 3-1/2 x 15 is the common middle size for a standard commercial door stile. Go to 6 x 16 or 8 x 16 when you want more coverage on a heavily used door or need to hide existing hardware scars. Drop to 3 x 12 on a narrow stile where a wider plate would run into the glass stop or the lock.

A push plate goes on the push side and a pull goes on the pull side, so on most single doors you order both, not one or the other. The Trimco 1001 is the flat plate that protects the door face and gives a clean push point with nothing to grab. If what you actually need is the pull side, that is a different part, for example the Ives 8103HD heavy duty straight pull with through bolt mounting or the Ives 8145EZHD 45 degree offset pull. Through bolted pulls take pulling load; a push plate is surface applied with screws and is not a substitute for one.

No. The Trimco 1001-2 is offered with a Cut for Cylinder option, which puts the cylinder hole through the 3-1/2" x 15" plate itself so the plate still covers the push face around a night latch cylinder. The Cal-Royal PUL-175 is a night latch cylinder pull, 3-1/2" in height, in stainless steel construction, so it is a grip that surrounds the cylinder rather than a flat plate. If the goal is a full 15" plate protecting the door face with the cylinder passing through it, the cut for cylinder version of the 1001-2 is the one; if the goal is a hand grip at the cylinder, the PUL-175 is a different part.

The Trimco 1001-2 is a 3-1/2" x 15" heavy duty push plate in .050" stainless steel, brass, bronze or aluminum, pencil beveled on all four edges, and it mounts on the push face of the door. It does not give a hand a grip, so the opposite face needs a pull. The Ives 8103HD is a heavy duty straight door pull, 1" round with through bolt mounting, and the Ives 8102HD is a heavy duty straight pull with a 3/4" round bar and 1-1/2" clearance. Pairing a plate on the push side with one of those pulls on the pull side is the standard way a commercial swing door gets trimmed.

The 1001 Series is .050 inch thick material, which is the heavy duty gauge for a push plate rather than the thin decorative stock. It is available in stainless steel, brass, bronze or aluminum, and the plates are pencil beveled on all four edges so there is no sharp corner at hand height. A 1/8 inch plastic version is offered as well if you want a non-metal plate.

Ten finishes: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 613E dark oxidized satin bronze, 622 matte black, 626 satin chrome, 628 satin aluminum, 629 bright stainless steel, 630 satin stainless steel, and 710CU Healthy Hardware Steralloy Silver. If you are matching a building already standardized on satin stainless lever trim and closers, 630 is the one that lines up. All ten are available both cut for cylinder and not.

710CU is Trimco's Healthy Hardware Steralloy Silver finish, a copper-alloy touch surface offered on the 1001 push plate. A push plate is the single most touched point on a corridor door, which is why the antimicrobial copper finish gets specified in healthcare and other high touch facilities. It is available on both the plain and cut for cylinder versions of the 3-1/2 x 15.

At 3-1/2 x 15 inches the 1001-2 covers a footprint most standard push plates fall inside, but a replacement only hides the old holes if the old plate was the same size or smaller. If the door had a 4 x 16 or 6 x 16 on it, step up to that size in the same 1001 Series instead. Trimco publishes the 1001 template so you can compare the hole layout to what is already drilled before you commit.

The Trimco 1001-2 push plate is ADA compliant and commercial rated, with the plate itself presenting a flat push surface. On the pull side of an ADA opening, the Ives 8145EZHD is a 45 degree offset door pull with heavy duty mounting hardware and is ADA compliant in the EZ series, and the Ives 8169 is a C style offset solid pull, 1" diameter with heavy duty mounting. Both are offset designs, which puts the grip away from the door face.

They serve opposite faces of the opening. The ABH AB3300 is a straight flat end pull handle with a 1.00" diameter for commercial doors, and the ABH AB3310 is an offset flat end pull handle, surface mount commercial grade; both are grips fastened at two mounting points. The Trimco 1001-2 is a 3-1/2" x 15" flat plate in stainless steel that shields the push face from hand and cart contact, pencil beveled on all four edges. Ordering an AB3300 in place of a 1001-2 leaves the push face unprotected.

The Trimco 1001-2 is a 3-1/2" x 15" plate applied to the door face with oval head screws, which suits a door face that will accept fasteners. Where a long vertical grip is wanted on both sides instead, the Deltana SSPOBB24 is a 24" back-to-back modern offset door pull and the Deltana SSPORBB24 is a 24" back-to-back round offset door pull; the Deltana SSP1210 is a 12" contemporary pull for single side use. Those are longer grip bars mounted through the door, a different fastening condition than a screw-applied plate.

The Trimco 1001-2 is stainless steel and offered in 629 bright stainless steel and 630 satin stainless steel among its finishes. The ABH AB7200 is a solid stainless steel flat end pull handle, 7/8" diameter, with through-bolt mounting, and the ABH AB3330 is an offset round end pull offered with custom length options. Specifying the AB7200 opposite a 630 finish 1001-2 keeps both faces of the opening in stainless.

Made in the United States. The stainless steel version is the catalogued substrate for the 1001-2, and Trimco also runs the series in brass, bronze and aluminum. For a government or institutional job with a domestic sourcing requirement on the spec, that US manufacture is the point worth flagging to the specifier.
