FAQs
What's the difference between the 4K sectional knob and lever trim like the 4EW?
The 4K uses a round sectional ball knob instead of a lever, which requires gripping and turning to operate rather than the closed-fist push of a lever. Because ADA and ICC/ANSI A117.1 accessibility standards prohibit hardware that requires tight grasping, pinching, or twisting on accessible routes, the 4K should not be specified for doors along an accessible path, use the 4EW lever escutcheon there instead.
Can the 4K be used on a door required to be ADA accessible?
No, a knob-style trim like the 4K generally does not satisfy ADA/ANSI A117.1 operable-hardware requirements because it requires grasping and turning. Reserve it for doors that are not part of an accessible route, a lever trim such as the 4EW or 4EN is the correct choice where accessibility compliance is required.
Where is knob trim like the 4K typically specified despite the ADA limitation?
Knob trim is typically specified for interior or back-of-house doors not on an accessible route (such as some mechanical spaces or secondary doors), or in retrofit situations matching existing non-accessible knob hardware elsewhere in a building on PDQ's 4200 series wide stile exit devices.
Which exit devices and finishes does the 4K come in?
The 4K pairs with PDQ's 4200 series wide stile exit devices in rim and surface vertical rod configurations and is available in satin stainless steel (630) finish, matching the durable, low-maintenance finish commonly specified for high-traffic commercial doors.
Is the 4K knob durable enough for high-traffic commercial doors?
Yes, the sectional ball knob design is built for high-traffic commercial spaces, providing an ergonomic grip and sturdy construction meant to hold up to frequent daily use, provided the door is not on a required accessible route.
