Von Duprin 608TP-BE-R 26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Von Duprin 608TP-BE trim work on my 88 Series exit device?
That's exactly what the 608TP-BE is built for. It's outside trim for Von Duprin 88 Series exit devices, and the compatibility is stated for that series only. When you order, you pick the prep to match the device you have: Rim Prep for a rim device, or Mortise/Vertical Rod Prep for a mortise or surface vertical rod device. Get that one option wrong and the trim won't drive the device, so check which 88 device is on the door before you order.
2) Does the 608TP-BE thumbpiece trim take a key or a cylinder?
No cylinder, and no key. The 608TP-BE is a passage thumbpiece with a blank escutcheon, so the face is solid with no cylinder hole. Press the thumbpiece and the door opens from the outside, always. Use it where the opening never needs to be locked from outside. If you need the outside to be secured or keyed, this is the wrong trim.
3) I need a passage function exit device trim but my devices are not Von Duprin 88 Series - what are my options?
The 608TP-BE is engineered for Von Duprin 88 Series exit devices, so on other device lines you need the trim built for that line. Corbin Russwin offers passage function trim across three device families: the 3310AET for ED3000 Series Grade 1 devices, the x810ET for ED4000 Series, and the x910ET for the ED5200S, ED5200, ED5400 and ED5800 Series. Arrow's SRX01 is a passage function trim with a Sierra lever and rose for ED910, S1150 and S1250 devices. All four are passage function like the 608TP-BE, so the door still opens without a key from the outside.
4) What is the difference between a blank escutcheon passage trim and a dummy or exit-only trim?
They look similar on the door and are easy to confuse. The Von Duprin 608TP-BE is passage function with a blank escutcheon, so its thumbpiece actually retracts the latch and lets you enter from outside. A dummy or exit-only trim does not operate the device at all - it is a fixed pull for appearance and for closing the door. The Detex 02BN is a dummy S-lever trim with a blank escutcheon for Value Series devices, and the Dexter ED1500T-DUMM-PULL is a dummy function trim with a handle pull plate. BEST offers exit-only pull trim as the 1701 for wide stile doors and the 2001 for narrow stile, plus the 2901 exit-only lever trim for narrow stile. If the outside face must open the door, those are not substitutes.
5) I need access control on this opening - what electrified exit trim can I use in place of a mechanical passage trim?
The 608TP-BE is a mechanical passage thumbpiece with no electrical option. For openings tied into access control, Command Access builds electrified exit trim with 12V/24V operation and fail safe or fail secure selection in the ET15, ET25 and 230L versions, the last of which is the electrified counterpart to the Von Duprin 230L trim for V96, 36 and 23 Series devices; the ET26 adds Grade 1 construction with a field reversible design. Falcon offers the 510L-FSA/FSE as heavy duty electrified trim for 25 Series devices. Dormakaba covers standalone credential control instead of wired access with the E-Plex 201U electronic pushbutton exit trim for wide stile doors and the PowerPlex P201U for rim, mortise and surface vertical rod devices.
6) What is the closest equivalent to a Von Duprin 608TP-BE thumbpiece exit trim from another brand?
The Tell EDTHP53 is the nearest cross-brand thumbpiece exit device trim, though it is built for keyed entry function rather than passage, and it fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. The Dexter ED1000T-CLRM-TP-NC is also a thumbpiece trim, supplied as thumbpiece with pull plate and cylinder prep in classroom function, less cylinder, and rated Grade 1. The Von Duprin 608TP-BE differs from both in that it carries a blank escutcheon and passage function, so it takes no cylinder at all and always allows free entry.
7) The opening needs to lock from the outside - what should I use instead of a passage thumbpiece trim?
The 608TP-BE is passage function with a blank escutcheon, which means it allows free passage with no key and no cylinder. For an opening that must stay locked from outside, look at keyed trim instead: the Design Hardware KIL storeroom trim for 1000 and 2000 Series devices uses a Schlage C keyway with a flat lever in storeroom function, the Tell EDELT80 is a storeroom function escutcheon lever trim for 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Pamex E9000 is a Grade 1 storeroom trim with an L3 lever for doors 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Marks USA M195F provides storeroom function on a lever and rose for M9900 touchbar devices.
8) How does this compare to a nightlatch trim - can I use one in place of the other?
No, they behave differently at the door. The Von Duprin 608TP-BE is passage function, so the thumbpiece retracts the latch at any time without a key. Nightlatch trim keeps the outside secure and retracts the latch only with a key: the Sargent 704ET is a Grade 1 heavy duty nightlatch lever trim with field reversible operation for 700 Series devices, the 704-ETL is the PE Series equivalent with key retract, and the Sargent 744 covers surface vertical rod and mortise 8700 and 8900 Series devices with freewheeling trim. Corbin Russwin's VT957ET is a nightlatch escutcheon trim in stamped or formed stainless steel for ED5000 Series, and the Dorma YR03R is a wide stile nightlatch escutcheon lever trim supplied less cylinder.
9) My spec calls for Grade 1 heavy duty exit trim - which comparable trims meet that?
The Von Duprin 608TP-BE is Grade 1, heavy duty. Among comparable exit trims, the Sargent 704ET and 704-ETL are both Grade 1 heavy duty in nightlatch function, the Sargent 744 is Grade 1 for 8700 and 8900 Series devices, and the Pamex E9000 is Grade 1 in storeroom function with a door range of 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch. Design Hardware lists Grade 1 across its KIL entry, KIL storeroom and LE08 entry trims, and Dexter lists Grade 1 on the ED1000T and ED1500T trims. The Falcon 510L is heavy duty in classroom function. By contrast the Falcon 212L and 179L are medium duty, so they will not satisfy a heavy duty spec.
10) The opening is a classroom door - what trim should I be looking at instead of passage function?
Passage function on the 608TP-BE leaves the outside always open, which is usually not what a classroom needs. Classroom function trim is available as the Falcon 510L, a heavy duty classroom trim with a lever handle for 24/25 Series devices, and the Falcon 179L, a medium duty classroom lever control trim for 1790 Series devices. Dexter's ED1000T-CLRM-TP-NC is a Grade 1 classroom function trim built as thumbpiece with pull plate and cylinder prep, less cylinder, which keeps the thumbpiece operation of the 608TP-BE while adding key control. The Accentra 446F provides classroom function on an Augusta lever at Grade 1.
11) Do I have to specify handing for the Von Duprin 608TP-BE exit trim?
Handing isn't part of the order. The 608TP-BE is non-handed, so the same part goes on a left or right hand door. The two things you do specify are prep (Rim, or Mortise/Vertical Rod) and finish.
12) How far does the Von Duprin 608TP thumbpiece trim stick out from the door?
Projection is 2 1/6 inches off the door face. That matters where the door swings past a wall return, a mullion or an adjacent frame, or where a pull on the opposite leaf of a pair could clash. Measure your clear side reveal against that number before you commit.
13) Is the 608TP-BE trim heavy duty enough for a school or hospital corridor?
It's rated Grade 1 heavy duty, which is the top commercial duty tier and what an institutional spec normally calls for on a high traffic egress opening. Being a passage thumbpiece, though, it gives no security from the outside, so it belongs on interior corridor and stair doors rather than a perimeter opening.
14) Should I use a thumbpiece trim or a lever trim on my exit device?
A thumbpiece like the 608TP-BE gives a plate and a press-down thumbpiece, which is the traditional look and holds up well where a lever would get caught on carts or clothing. A lever trim is what you use when the opening has to meet an accessible operation requirement or when the building's other doors are levered and you want a match. Von Duprin catalogs lever trim for the 88 Series as well. Function is the bigger fork, though: 608TP-BE is passage only, so if the door needs to be keyed, you want a nightlatch or classroom trim instead, such as the Sargent 704ET nightlatch lever trim or the Dexter ED1000T classroom thumbpiece with cylinder.
15) I'm standardizing trim across a building with mixed rim and vertical rod exit devices. Can I use one part number?
One model, two preps. The 608TP-BE covers both, but you order Rim Prep for rim devices and Mortise/Vertical Rod Prep for mortise and surface vertical rod devices. Keep the finish consistent across the order and the openings will match visually even though the preps differ, since both preps are offered in all eleven finishes. Handing doesn't split the order either, the trim is non-handed.
16) Is there a lever version of this trim if the facility requires lever operation for accessibility?
The 608TP-BE uses a thumbpiece with a flat pull grip rather than a lever. Where a lever is required, passage function lever trim is available from other lines: the Arrow SRX01 pairs a Sierra lever with a rose in passage function for ED910, S1150 and S1250 devices. In heavy duty lever trim, the Falcon 510L is a heavy duty classroom function trim with a lever handle for 24/25 Series devices, and the Design Hardware LE08 is a Grade 1 entry function trim with a flat lever and escutcheon for 1000R and 2000R devices. The function differs from passage on the last two, so confirm whether the opening needs to lock.
17) Is a blank escutcheon lever trim like the Falcon 212L the same thing as the 608TP-BE?
Both carry a blank escutcheon, so neither takes a cylinder, but they are not interchangeable. The Falcon 212L is a medium duty escutcheon lever trim with shear pin protection made for Falcon 20 Series devices. The Von Duprin 608TP-BE is heavy duty, Grade 1, non-handed, uses a thumbpiece rather than a lever, and is made for Von Duprin 88 Series devices. A door that has an 88 Series device on it needs the 608TP-BE prep, and the choice between thumbpiece and lever also affects how the opening is operated with full hands.
18) What is a simpler pull-only alternative if the outside face just needs a grip?
If the outside never needs to retract the latch, a plain pull is simpler than the passage thumbpiece on the 608TP-BE. The Tell EDPT is a pull function exit device trim with a cylinder hole, supplied less cylinder, for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. BEST offers exit only pull trim as the 1701 for wide stile doors and the 2001 narrow stile version with a cover plate. The Dexter ED1500 nightlatch trim with a raised lip pull plate is the version to use when a key needs to retract the latch through the pull.
19) Do I need to worry about narrow versus wide stile when cross-shopping exit trim?
Yes - stile width decides whether a trim will physically fit the door. Several comparable trims are stile-specific: BEST lists the 1701 and the 4900 Series lever trim as wide stile, while the 2001 pull trim and 2901 lever trim are narrow stile, all serving 2000 Series exit devices. Dormakaba's E-Plex 201U pushbutton exit trim and the E-Plex 5067 mortise model are wide stile. The Von Duprin 608TP-BE is a narrow-profile trim at 3/16 inch thick with a 2 1/6 inch projection, which is what lets it sit cleanly on the door face.
20) Which comparable exit trims are keyed entry rather than passage?
Keyed entry trim locks the outside and opens with a key, unlike the passage function 608TP-BE which needs no key. The Tell EDELT53 is a keyed entry escutcheon lever trim and the Tell EDTHP53 is the keyed entry thumbpiece version, both for doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch. Design Hardware lists entry function on the KIL trim with a Schlage C keyway and flat lever for 1000 and 2000 Series devices, the LE08 with escutcheon for 1000R and 2000R devices, and the 2P-03NL pull trim with a cylinder hole. Delaney's 500L is entry function and comes in CT, MD and SD lever styles. Accentra's AU-441F is a night latch keyed lever trim in the Augusta design.
21) What finishes does the Von Duprin 608TP-BE come in?
Eleven finishes, and both preps are offered in all of them: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 619 satin nickel, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, 629/US32 bright stainless, 643E aged bronze, and 693/SPBLK black painted. If you're matching existing openings in a building, 626 satin chrome and 630 stainless are the usual commercial standards, and 626 is here.
22) What is the 608TP-BE escutcheon made of and how thick is the plate?
The plate is 3/16 inch (5 mm) thick, in brass, bronze or stainless steel depending on the finish ordered, with a flat pull grip. That slim section is why it sits close to the door face, and it's the reason the trim reads flush next to a device baseplate rather than standing proud of it.
