Hager 45DT Exit Trim - Dummy Blank Escutcheon
The Hager 45DT is a heavy-duty, non-functioning exterior trim designed for use with Hager 4500 Series exit devices. Operating as a Dummy Function, this hardware features a rigid lever or pull that does not retract the latchbolt. It is primarily used as a door pull when the exit device is dogged down (locked in the open position) or on the inactive leaf of a pair of doors. This trim provides a consistent, professional appearance across all facility openings while maintaining Grade 1 durability.
Architectural Consistency and Vandal Resistance
The Hager 45DT is engineered for environments where exterior keyed access is not required, but a matching aesthetic is essential. Because the lever is fixed and does not engage the locking mechanism, it serves as a rugged, vandal-resistant handle for pulling the door open. This function is a staple for school entrances, hospital corridors, and commercial lobbies where doors are frequently held open for high-traffic flow during business hours.
Institutional Engineering and Secure Mounting
As part of the Hager 4500 Series, the 45DT is built to withstand the physical demands of institutional use. The trim is constructed with a heavy-duty escutcheon plate and is available in the Withnell (WTN), Archer (ARC), or August (AUG) lever styles to match your existing building hardware. To ensure the handle never pulls away from the door under heavy use, it is installed with a secure thru-bolt system, providing a permanent and rigid attachment.
