Trimco TRI-L1280.626 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the difference between the Trimco L1280 and L1280CI door holder?
Material is the only difference in the model designation. The L1280 is cast from bronze or brass and takes a real architectural finish on the metal itself. The L1280CI is cast iron and painted to the finish you order. Both are the same medium duty cast holder with a spring steel strike. If the holder sits somewhere the coating will get scuffed or where a plated finish needs to match adjacent brass or bronze trim, take the L1280. Cast iron is the choice where the holder is doing work and the finish is cosmetic.
2) Is the Trimco 1280 holder heavy enough for a high-traffic commercial door?
It is rated medium duty, and it is a commercial-grade part, not residential. That covers office suite doors, hotel guest rooms, retail back-of-house and corridor doors in government and institutional buildings. For an exterior door taking wind load, or a heavy fire-rated door that slams hard against the holder every cycle, medium duty is the wrong class and you want a heavy duty holder or an overhead stop and holder arm instead.
3) What finishes can I get the Trimco 1280 door holder in?
Seven finishes, and both models offer all seven: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 613E dark oxidized satin bronze, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome and 626 satin chrome. On the L1280 those are applied to cast brass or bronze; on the cast iron L1280CI they are paint. If you are matching a building already standardized on 626 satin chrome levers and closers, either model gets you there.
4) Is a door holder the same thing as a door stop, or do I need both?
They do different jobs. A stop just limits how far the door swings. A holder like the Trimco 1280 catches the door and keeps it open until someone pulls it loose, which is what you want on a door that gets propped for deliveries, housekeeping carts or move-ins. The 1280 does that with a spring steel strike that engages the holder body. If all you need is to keep the lever off the drywall, a plain wall or baseboard bumper is the cheaper and simpler part.
5) Will one Trimco 1280 holder work on both a left and right hand door?
The 1280 is a two-piece holder: a cast body and a spring steel strike, mounted opposite each other. It is not a handed lockset, so the same part serves either swing; what changes is which side of the opening each half lands on. Take your mounting dimensions off the door in the open position where you want it to catch, not off the frame.
6) I am standardizing door holders across a hotel. Can I use the same Trimco 1280 model everywhere?
Yes, and that is the usual reason it gets picked for hospitality and multi-family work. Both models share the same seven finishes, so you can run cast brass or bronze L1280 holders on guest room and lobby doors and painted cast iron L1280CI holders in back-of-house, and they will still read as one finish package across the property. The limit is duty: it is a medium duty holder, so exterior and other high-abuse openings need a heavier device.
7) Can I paint the Trimco L1280CI cast iron holder to match a custom color?
The L1280CI is cast iron finished with paint, and it is ordered in one of the seven standard finish codes rather than a custom color. Painted cast iron is the honest choice when the holder is in a service corridor or loading area and nobody is looking at it. Where the holder is in a guest-facing space, the cast brass or bronze L1280 holds its appearance better because the finish is on the metal.
