Trimco 81ST001- Tubular Locks (Munich)

Four functions are offered on the Trimco 81ST001 Munich lever. Tubular passage latches the door but never locks, so it's the one for corridors, closets and office doors that only need to stay shut. Tubular privacy adds an inside push or turn button for bedrooms and bathrooms. Single dummy is one non-working lever surface mounted on one face, typically the inactive leaf of a pair or a closet door with a magnetic catch. Full dummy gives you the non-working lever on both faces of the door. Only the passage and privacy versions have a latch; the dummies have no latch and no bore-through prep.

That's exactly the prep it's built for. The 81ST001 Munich lever is specified at a 2-3/8 inch backset, the shorter of the two standard tubular backsets. If your existing doors are bored at 2-3/4 inches, which is common on commercial openings, the cross-bore centerline sits 3/8 of an inch further from the edge and this latch won't line up.

It is. The Munich lever from Trimco's Urban series is ADA compliant, which is the point of a lever over a knob, no tight grasping or wrist twisting to operate. That matters on the building types this line is aimed at: commercial and industrial buildings, government and military facilities, hospitality, multifamily and mixed-use, and office buildings.

No. The 81ST001 Munich is offered as passage, privacy, single dummy and full dummy only, so none of the four functions take a key cylinder. For a keyed unit door or an office that needs to lock from outside, you need a separate keyed entrance or classroom function lockset.

Lever projection is 2-1/3 inches. Worth checking on narrow corridors, doors that swing back against a wall, and any opening where a lever could catch on adjacent trim or a second door leaf in a tight pocket.

Commercial. Trimco classifies the Munich lever as a commercial product and builds the Urban series from stainless steel, aimed at high-rise condos and multifamily buildings along with offices, hospitality and government facilities.

Yes, and that's how the Urban series is meant to be specified. The Munich style is available in passage, privacy, single dummy and full dummy, so you can carry the same lever look from a bathroom (privacy) to a corridor door (passage) to a closet or inactive leaf (dummy) without a visual break. All four share the same stainless steel lever and 2-1/3 inch projection.

No. Single dummy and full dummy Munich trim are surface applied lever handles with no latch mechanism, so there's nothing to strike into the frame. You'll want a roller catch, magnetic catch or ball catch to hold the door closed. The passage and privacy versions are the ones that come as working tubular locks at a 2-3/8 inch backset.
