Trimco TRI-1562B10-RH.626 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I have to order the Trimco 1562 push/pull latch handed, or can it be flipped in the field?
Handing is an order choice, left hand or right hand, but the 1500 Series base assembly is reversible in the field. The cold forged steel base lets you change hand and function on site, which is why a distributor can stock the latch without carrying every hand and function separately.
2) What lock functions can I get on the Trimco 1562-BQM mortise push/pull latchset?
Six functions: Classroom, Classroom Security, Entrance/Office, Passage, Privacy, and Storeroom/Closet 60 - Privacy. Pick the function on the order the same way you would on any mortise lock, then handing and finish.
3) Will the Trimco 1562-BQM work with our existing BEST or Corbin Russwin keying system?
Yes. The 1562-BQM is ordered with a lock type of BEST, Corbin Russwin, or DQ, so a facility already keyed into a BEST small format interchangeable core system or a Corbin Russwin system can specify that lock type and keep one key system across the building.
4) Is a push/pull hospital latch ADA compliant for a patient room or restroom door?
The Trimco 1500 Series push/pull latch meets ADA requirements. The paddle operates with a forearm, elbow, or closed fist, so no tight grasping or twisting is needed, which is the reason these go on patient rooms, exam rooms, and public restrooms. It is also UL listed and approved for use by the Veterans Administration.
5) What is the difference between the Trimco 1562-BQM push/pull latchset and the Pemko PDLAA privacy door latch?
The Trimco 1562-BQM is a mortise push/pull latchset built on a cold-forged steel base assembly, ordered in Classroom, Classroom Security, Entrance/Office, Passage, Privacy, and Storeroom/Closet 60 - Privacy functions and prepped for BEST, Corbin Russwin, or DQ cylinders. The Pemko PDLAA is a privacy/bed/bath function door latch. So the Trimco covers a broad range of keyed and non-keyed openings across a facility, while the Pemko addresses a privacy opening specifically.
6) I need ADA-compliant hardware for a healthcare corridor door - does the Pemko PDLAA substitute for the Trimco 1562-BQM?
Both are ADA-oriented latches, but they are not interchangeable on a corridor door. The Pemko PDLAA is a privacy/bed/bath latch. The Trimco 1562-BQM is a mortise push/pull latchset that meets ADA requirements, is UL listed and approved for use by the Veterans Administration, and is available in Classroom, Classroom Security, Entrance/Office, Passage, and Storeroom/Closet functions suited to corridor and staff openings. If the door needs anything other than bed/bath privacy, specify the 1562-BQM.
7) What is the difference between the 1562-BQM and the other Trimco 1562 push/pull latches?
The BQM is the mortise version, so it goes into a mortise lock pocket and takes a BEST, Corbin Russwin, or DQ lock. The rest of the 1500 Series collection covers the 1562A push/pull, 1562L privacy, 1562HL passage, and 1562AE exit/entrance. If your doors are prepped for a tubular lock rather than a mortise case, the mortise BQM is the wrong one.
8) What is the 710CU Steralloy Silver finish and is it actually antimicrobial?
710CU is Trimco's Healthy Hardware Steralloy Silver, an antimicrobial copper based material used for the lever pads and latch covers. The other two choices are 626 satin chrome and 630 satin stainless steel. For healthcare and assisted living touch points the 710CU is the one to specify; for general commercial traffic 626 or 630 is the usual pick.
9) Will a push/pull paddle latch stick out too far in a tight corridor?
Projection is the usual objection and it is where this one differs: the 1500 Series is built with less than half the projection of other push/pull latches. That matters in narrow hospital corridors, behind doors that swing back against a wall, and anywhere a cart passes close to the leaf.
10) Are these paddles going to survive being kicked and hit by carts in a hospital?
The lever pads and latch covers are bronze, brass, or antimicrobial copper and are rated for heavy duty use, and Trimco builds the pads thicker and heavier than comparable units specifically so handles do not break under abuse. The base assembly is cold forged steel. This is commercial grade hardware, not residential.
11) For a restroom or patient bathroom door that only needs privacy, is there a simpler alternative to the Trimco 1562-BQM?
Yes. The Pemko PDLAA is a privacy door latch supplied in a single privacy/bed/bath function, so there is no function or cylinder selection to make. The Trimco 1562-BQM can also be ordered in Privacy function, but it is a mortise push/pull latchset offered across six functions, two hands, and three cylinder preps, which is more configuration than a single privacy restroom door requires.
12) If I standardize on the Trimco 1562-BQM, can one part number cover both door hands?
The Trimco 1562-BQM is ordered as Left Hand or Right Hand, but the 1500 Series base is reversible in the field, so hand and function can be changed to suit the opening. That is a stocking advantage over a fixed-function latch such as the Pemko PDLAA, which is supplied in privacy/bed/bath only.
13) Is there a quieter option for a push/pull latch on patient room doors at night?
The 1500 Series latchbolt face carries a nylon insert that gives silent latch action and cuts friction against the strike. That is the feature to point at when noise at night is the complaint on a patient room or a resident door in assisted living.
14) Can I get the Trimco 1562 push/pull with the paddles engraved or with tamper resistant screws?
The 1500 Series offers engraving, Torx screws, and different combinations of paddles up and down, along with the choice of tubular or mortise lock. Engraved paddles are common on restrooms and staff only doors, and Torx fasteners are worth specifying anywhere the hardware is exposed to the public.
