Features & Benefits
FAQs
What is a thumb latch exit device trim used for?
A thumb latch trim (6T) uses a pull-down thumbpiece instead of a lever or knob to retract the latch from outside, giving doors a traditional or institutional look often specified to match existing hardware on a retrofit. It's paired with PDQ's 6300 and 6400 series exit devices.
How is the 6T different from the 6W lever escutcheon?
The 6T operates with a thumb-depression latch mechanism rather than a rotating lever, giving it a more traditional appearance associated with older institutional and historic buildings. The 6W, by contrast, uses a modern lever handle. Both mount to 6300/6400 series exit devices, but the 6T is chosen mainly for aesthetic or retrofit-matching reasons.
Does the 6T work on both wide and narrow stile doors?
Yes, the 6T is available for both PDQ's 6300 series (wide stile) and 6400 series (rim and surface vertical rod, narrow stile) exit devices, though it is not compatible with the 6400C concealed vertical rod device. It comes in three finishes: dark oxidized satin bronze (613E), flat black (622), and satin stainless steel (630).
How many function options does the 6T thumb latch offer?
The 6T is available in three functions, letting a specifier match the trim's locking behavior to the door's security requirements. Confirm the exact function needed with your PDQ distributor since the thumb latch mechanism's exterior locking behavior varies by function selected.
What kind of buildings typically specify thumb latch trim like the 6T?
The 6T is typically specified for institutional, historic, or traditionally styled buildings (such as schools, churches, and older municipal buildings), where the thumb-latch look matches existing door hardware, or for retrofits replacing a legacy thumb-latch trim without changing the exit device chassis.
