Trimco TRI-620.622 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the difference between the Trimco 620, 620V and 620VE door knockers?
Three builds off the same contemporary knocker. The 620 is the knocker alone. The 620V adds a door viewer through the same prep, so you get the knock and the peephole in one plate instead of boring a second hole. The 620VE is the viewer version plus custom engraving, which is what you order when the plate needs to carry an apartment number, a suite number, or an office name. All three come in the same seven finishes.
2) Can I get a Trimco door knocker with apartment numbers engraved on it?
Order the 620VE. Engraving is a text option you fill in at order time, so each unit can carry its own number or name. For a property manager numbering a corridor of units, that means one line item per door rather than a separate number plate above the viewer. Engraving is only available on the VE build, not on the plain 620 or the 620V.
3) What is the closest alternative to the Trimco 620 door knocker if a contemporary look is not wanted?
The Emtek 2620 solid brass door knocker is an urn style knocker, a traditional decorative form rather than the clean contemporary shape of the Trimco 620. The Trimco 620 family is the one to specify when the knocker has to carry ANSI/BHMA L03161 and ADA compliance into a commercial opening, and it is the one that offers a built-in door viewer as the 620V and viewer plus custom engraving as the 620VE. Choose the Emtek 2620 when the requirement is an urn-style brass knocker on its own, with no viewer or engraved plate.
4) Is the Emtek 86060 bronze knocker a substitute for a Trimco 620V?
It is not an equivalent. The Emtek 86060 is a 4 inch sandcast bronze knocker with a ring pull, so it is a knocker and a pull in one piece, with no door viewer built into it. The Trimco 620V combines the knocker with a viewer in a single prep, which is what apartment and assisted living entry doors are usually after. If the 86060 is used where a viewer is required, a separate viewer and a second bore in the door have to be added.
5) What finishes does the Trimco 620 door knocker come in?
Seven architectural finishes, all available across the plain, viewer, and engraved builds: 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. Those are standard BHMA finish codes, so 626 satin chrome will read the same as the 626 on your lever and closer, which matters when you are matching a whole opening.
6) Should I use a door knocker with a built in viewer or a separate peephole?
A combined unit like the 620V puts the knocker and the viewer in one prep, which means one bore pattern and one piece of hardware to align on the door face. A separate peephole gives you free placement height, which is what you want if the sightline has to work for a seated occupant or if the knocker sits low on a tall door. For multi-family and assisted living work where every unit door gets the same treatment, the combined unit is faster to install and standardize.
7) Is the Trimco 620 knocker rated for commercial use?
It is a commercial grade item, specified for assisted living, hospitality, hospitals and health care, manufacturing, multi-family and mixed use, and general commercial and industrial buildings. That is a different duty expectation than a residential decorative knocker, and it is why it carries a BHMA designation and comes in the same architectural finish codes as the rest of the opening hardware.
8) How is the Trimco 620 different from a solid brass or sandcast bronze knocker like the Emtek ones?
Styling and intent. The 620 is contemporary and modern in form, built as commercial door trim with a BHMA designation and viewer and engraving options. The Emtek 2620 is a solid brass urn style knocker and the Emtek 86060 is a 4 inch sandcast bronze knocker with a ring pull, both traditional decorative pieces. If you are matching a period entry, go Emtek. If you are numbering unit doors in a building and need the finish to match the levers, the 620 is the one with the options for it.
9) I want a traditional knocker instead of a contemporary one from Trimco. What is the option?
Trimco splits its knockers by style: the 620 and 625 Series are the contemporary and modern shapes, and the 621 Series is the traditional one. If the entry is traditional millwork, the 621 is the family to look at rather than trying to make a modern plate work with it.
10) Which door knocker matches oil rubbed bronze and matte black hardware across a multifamily building?
The Trimco 620 knocker is offered in 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, and each of those finishes is available on the plain 620, the 620V with viewer and the 620VE with viewer and engraving, so a building can be standardized on one finish and still mix viewer and engraved units door to door. The Emtek alternatives are single decorative pieces: the 2620 is solid brass in an urn style and the 86060 is sandcast bronze with a ring pull.
11) Do I need to order the door viewer separately for a Trimco 620 knocker?
No. The viewer is built into the 620V and 620VE, so it ships as one assembly with the knocker. Ordering the plain 620 and adding a viewer later means a second prep in the door face. Pick the build up front.
