Trimco TRI-1563A-RH.626 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What backset and strike does the Trimco 1563A push/pull latchset use?
Standard prep on the 1563A is a 5 inch backset with a 2-3/4 inch T-strike. That 5 inch backset is deeper than the 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inch backsets used for ordinary lever locks, so an existing lockset bore will not line up. Plan the door prep for it rather than trying to drop it into a standard hole.
2) Do I need to order the Trimco 1563A in the correct hand for my door?
Handing is selectable at order, left hand or right hand, but the 1500 Series base assembly is field reversible: both hand and function can be changed on site without new parts. If you keep a couple on the shelf for a building, you are not committing to one hand per door.
3) Is the Trimco 1563A hospital latch ADA compliant?
Yes. The 1563A meets ADA requirements, which is the point of a paddle-style hospital latch: no gripping or wrist twisting, and it can be operated with a forearm, hip or elbow. It is also UL listed and approved for use by the Veterans Administration, which matters on federal and VA healthcare work.
4) Which finish of the Trimco 1563A should I use in a patient care or infection control area?
Three finishes are offered: 626 satin chrome, 630 satin stainless steel, and 710CU Healthy Hardware Steralloy Silver. The 710CU is the antimicrobial copper option and is the one to specify where touch surfaces are part of an infection control program. Lever pads and latch covers are made from bronze, brass or antimicrobial copper.
5) What should I use instead of the Trimco 1563A push/pull latchset on a single-occupancy restroom that needs a privacy function?
The Trimco 1563A is a push/pull latchset supplied with both lever pads up, a 5 inch backset and a 2-3/4 inch T-strike, and it is reversible in the field for hand and function. It is a paddle-operated latch, not a privacy set with an inside locking device. For a restroom or bedroom opening that has to lock from the inside, the Pemko PDLAA is catalogued with a privacy/bed/bath function and is the one to specify for that opening. If the restroom is meant to be operable without grasping or twisting and does not need to lock, the 1563A meets ADA requirements and stays the right choice.
6) What does "both levers up" mean on the 1563A, and can I get paddles down instead?
The 1563A ships as both levers up, meaning the paddle on each face points upward and is operated by pushing down on it. Trimco offers other paddle combinations (paddles up and down) within the 1500 Series, along with multiple functions, tubular or mortise latch bodies, engraving and Torx screws, so specify the combination you want when you order.
7) Will a push/pull paddle latch hold up in a high abuse corridor?
The 1563A uses a cold-forged steel base assembly with lever pads that are thicker and heavier than other units, and Trimco states there are no problems with handles breaking even under abuse. Lever pads and covers in bronze, brass or antimicrobial copper are rated for heavy duty use. It is a commercial product, not a residential one.
8) I need a privacy function latch for a restroom, not a passage push/pull. What else is there?
The 1563A is a push/pull latchset, and other functions are available within the 1500 Series when ordering. If you specifically want a privacy bed/bath latch, the Pemko PDLAA privacy door latch is a privacy/bed/bath function unit with UL fire door classification and ADA compliance.
9) Is the Pemko PDLAA a direct replacement for a Trimco 1563A hospital latch?
No. They solve different problems on the door. The Trimco 1563A is a hospital-style push/pull latchset with cold-forged steel base, thick lever pads, a nylon insert in the latchbolt face for silent action, and a compact projection of less than half that of other push/pull latches. The Pemko PDLAA is a privacy door latch carrying a UL fire door classification and ADA compliance, with a privacy/bed/bath function. Swapping one for the other changes how the door is operated and whether it locks, so treat them as separate specifications rather than interchangeable parts.
10) For an assisted living facility standardizing hardware, when do I choose the Trimco 1563A over a privacy latch like the Pemko PDLAA?
Use the Trimco 1563A on corridor, resident room and service doors where staff and residents need hands-free or forearm operation. It is a commercial push/pull latchset, is UL listed and approved for use by the Veterans Administration, meets ADA requirements, and is offered in 626 satin chrome, 630 satin stainless steel and 710CU Healthy Hardware Steralloy silver antimicrobial copper, in left hand and right hand. Reserve the Pemko PDLAA for the openings in the same building that need a privacy/bed/bath function, such as resident bathrooms.
11) How far does the Trimco 1563A stick out from the door face?
Projection is less than 50% that of other push/pull latches, per Trimco. That compact profile is what lets it work in tight corridors, near door frames and on openings where a long paddle would catch on a passing gurney or cart.
12) Will a hospital paddle latch be noisy when the door closes?
The 1563A has a nylon insert in the latchbolt face, which quiets the latch action and cuts friction against the strike. That is a real consideration on patient room and sleeping room doors where a metal-on-metal latch slam carries down the corridor.
13) What other Trimco hospital latches are in the same series as the 1563A?
The 1500 Series also includes the Trimco 1580A and 1581A push/pull latchsets. All share the same cold-forged reversible base, so a distributor or facility can stock one base family instead of separate inventory for each function and door hand.
