Trimco 1591B-RH.626 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What backset and strike does the Trimco 1591B pull latchset use?
The 1591B is built to a 5 inch backset with a 2-3/4 inch T-strike as standard. That 5 inch backset is well outside the 2-3/8 and 2-3/4 inch backsets used by ordinary tubular locksets, so a 1591B will not drop into a standard door prep. Plan the door for the deeper prep, or specify it on the door schedule before the doors are machined.
2) Do I have to order the Trimco 1591B handed for my door?
Handing is an order choice, left hand or right hand, but the 1500 Series base assembly is field reversible. Hand and function can be changed on site without a different part, so if a door gets rehung or you ordered the wrong hand, you can flip it rather than reorder. That reversibility is also why a distributor can stock one latch instead of a bin per hand and function.
3) What is the difference between the Trimco 1591A and the 1591B?
Both are 1500 Series hospital latches, and the difference is the motion. The 1591B is a pull latchset, pull to latch with the lever down, one side only. The 1591A is the push latchset. On a single door you typically pair the push side and the pull side to the swing direction, so pick the 1591B for the pull face of the opening.
4) Is a hospital latch like the Trimco 1591B ADA compliant for a patient room door?
The 1591B meets ADA requirements. There is no grasping, pinching, or wrist twisting involved, which is the point of a paddle latch: a caregiver with both arms full drives the lever down with a forearm or a hip and pulls. It is also Underwriters Laboratory listed and approved for use by the Veterans Administration, which is what VA and other federal facility specs usually ask about.
5) Can I add a Trimco 1591B pull latch to doors that already have standard levers, or do the doors need to be re-prepped?
The doors need the correct prep. The 1591B works to a 5 inch backset and a 2-3/4 inch T-strike, which is not the prep left behind by a standard lever lock, so it is not a straight swap on an existing bored door. Treat it as a new prep or a door replacement item. On new doors, give the door supplier the 5 inch backset and T-strike so the machining comes in right.
6) Is the Pemko PDLAA privacy door latch a substitute for the Trimco 1591B pull latchset?
They solve different problems. The Trimco 1591B is a pull latchset with the lever down, one side only, standard 5 inch backset and 2-3/4 inch T-strike, operated by pulling the lever to retract the latch. The Pemko PDLAA is a privacy door latch with a Privacy/Bed/Bath function, so it is built around securing the opening from the inside. If the opening needs hands-free pull-to-latch operation on a patient room, exam room, or similar door, the 1591B is the part; the PDLAA does not do that job, and swapping one for the other changes how the door is used.
7) Which finish of the Trimco 1591B should I use in a healthcare facility?
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 infection control drives the hardware schedule. If you are matching existing stainless trim on the rest of the openings, 630 is the match; 626 matches satin chrome lever and closer trim.
8) Will a pull latchset stick out too far into a narrow hospital corridor?
Projection is the usual complaint with push/pull latches, and the 1500 Series base was redesigned around it: the 1591B projects less than half as far as other push/pull latches. That matters on a corridor with a clear width to hold, or on a door that swings into a stretcher path.
9) Will the lever pads on a hospital latch hold up to abuse in an assisted living or multifamily building?
Lever pads and latch covers are bronze, brass, or antimicrobial copper on a cold forged steel base, and Trimco makes the pads thicker and heavier than competing units specifically so handles do not break under abuse. It is a commercial-duty part, used in assisted living, government and military facilities, hospitality, multifamily and mixed-use, and offices. A nylon insert in the latchbolt face keeps the latch action quiet, which is worth something on a patient room or a corridor of resident doors at night.
10) Can I get a hospital latch with a privacy function for a patient bathroom?
The 1591B is a pull latchset, pull to latch with the lever down, on one side only, and it is not a privacy set. For a bathroom or bedroom door that needs to lock from the inside, the Pemko PDLAA privacy door latch is the privacy/bed/bath function alternative. Trimco does offer the 1500 Series with multiple functions and with tubular or mortise locks, so a locked function is available in the family if you want to keep the same paddle across the floor.
11) What options do I need to specify when ordering a Trimco 1500 Series latch?
Beyond finish and hand, the 1500 Series is offered with a choice of function, tubular or mortise lock body, engraving, Torx security screws, and different combinations of paddles up and down. The 1591B itself is the pull-to-latch, lever down, one side only configuration. Sort the lock body type first, since tubular and mortise drive different door prep.
12) What should be used on a hospital door that needs a privacy or bed/bath function instead of a pull latch?
The Trimco 1591B is a pull latchset, so it opens by pulling the lever down and does not provide a privacy function. Where the opening calls for Privacy/Bed/Bath operation, the Pemko PDLAA privacy door latch covers that function. Many facilities use both: pull latchsets like the 1591B on patient room and corridor doors where hands-free entry matters, and a privacy latch on toilet and bathing rooms.
