      Door Hardware Finish Chart

      See the Finish Chart

      What Do Finish Numbers Mean?

      Door hardware finishes use a three-digit BHMA number, like 626 for satin chrome. Many specs and older hardware schedules still use the US code, like US26D, for the same finish. This chart shows both, so you can match a spec, an existing door or a design palette to the PDQ products that come in it.

      From the current PDQ Price Book. Some finishes carry extra lead time, and split finishes are priced at the higher finish. Confirm with your PDQ rep.

      How to Choose a Finish

      Looks matter, but so do traffic, environment and lead time.

      1

      Match what's already there

      On renovations, check the existing hardware schedule for the finish number and match it. Satin finishes like 626 and 630 are the safest choice when you can't confirm.

      2

      Plan for heavy traffic

      Stainless steel finishes (629, 630) hold up best on busy doors. Plated finishes like 626 wear well too, while brass and bronze tones show wear sooner.

      3

      Think about the environment

      For exterior and coastal doors, stainless steel resists corrosion best. PDQ also offers a weatherized option on 626 for XGT, GP and MR F trim.

      4

      Healthcare and schools

      An antimicrobial coating is available on 626 and 630 for several PDQ series, including MR, XGT, GT, GP and the 6300/6400 exit devices.

      5

      Match closers to the hardware

      Door closers use painted finishes. Pair 689 aluminum with chrome and stainless, 693 black with 622, 695 dark bronze with 613E, and 696 gold with brass.

      6

      Check lead times

      Some brass and bronze finishes, such as 605, 606 and 612 on MR mortise locks, can need extra lead time. Confirm with your PDQ rep before you lock in a finish.

      PDQ door hardware finish options

      How to Specify a Finish

      1. Use the BHMA number. Write 626, not just satin chrome, so every product on the opening matches. Add the US code in parentheses if your spec format calls for it.
      2. Check every product on the opening. Locks, exit devices, closers and hinges don't all come in the same finishes. Confirm each one in the availability chart above.
      3. Match painted closers. Door closers come in painted finishes, so pick the closest match, like 689 aluminum with 626 or 630.
      4. Call out special options. Add antimicrobial coating or a weatherized finish where needed, and list split finishes outside first, then inside.
      5. Confirm lead time. Check with your PDQ rep before you submit, especially for brass and bronze finishes.

      Door Hardware Finish FAQs

      What is the difference between 626 and 630?

      626 (US26D) is satin chrome plated over a base metal. 630 (US32D) is satin stainless steel. They look similar, but stainless steel resists corrosion and wear better, which makes 630 a common choice for exterior and high-traffic doors.

      What does US26D mean?

      US26D is the older US finish code for satin chrome. Its BHMA number is 626. Hardware schedules may use either code, and both refer to the same finish.

      What is 613E?

      613E is PDQ's Dark Oxidized Satin Bronze (Equivalent), PDQ's version of the 613 (US10B) oil-rubbed bronze look. It's available on most PDQ locks, exit devices, electronic locks and hinges.

      Is 622 the same as US19?

      Yes. 622 is the BHMA number for flat black, and US19 is the older US code. PDQ offers 622 on most locks, exit devices, electronic locks and hinges, and 693 painted black on door closers.

      Which door hardware finish is best for exterior or coastal doors?

      Satin stainless steel (630) resists corrosion best. If you need satin chrome, ask about PDQ's weatherized finish option on 626 for XGT, GP and MR F trim locks.

      Does PDQ offer antimicrobial door hardware finishes?

      Yes. An antimicrobial coating is available on 626 and 630 for several series, including MR mortise, XGT, GT and GP locks and 6300/6400 exit devices. It's an added option, so list it on the hardware schedule.

      Can I order a different finish on each side of the door?

      Yes. Many PDQ locks are available with split finishes. Designate the outside trim first, then the inside. Split finishes are priced at the higher of the two finishes.
