Hager 45NL Exit Trim - Night Latch Escutcheon
The Hager 45NL is a heavy-duty, high-security exterior trim designed for use with Hager 4500 Series exit devices. Operating as a Night Latch Function, this hardware ensures that the exterior lever or pull is always locked. Access from the outside is only possible by using a key to retract the latchbolt, making it the premier choice for stairwell towers, mechanical rooms, rear exit doors, and any area where entry must be strictly controlled while maintaining a clean, narrow-profile architectural aesthetic.
Instant Security and Life-Safety Compliance
The Hager 45NL is engineered for "always-locked" peace of mind. Unlike classroom or entrance trims, the Night Latch function does not allow the lever to be left in an unlocked state. For critical building code and NFPA 101 Life Safety compliance, the interior exit device always allows for free egress, providing an immediate exit path for occupants at all times, even while the exterior remains securely barred to unauthorized entry.
Institutional Engineering and Vandal Resistance
As a heavy-duty solution in the Hager 4500 Series, the 45NL is built to exceed ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 standards, surviving over one million test cycles. The trim features a clutching/free-wheeling lever (when ordered with a lever) that rotates freely when locked to prevent damage to internal components from vandalism or forced entry attempts. The narrow escutcheon design is secured via a rugged thru-bolt installation, keeping the hardware perfectly aligned and preventing lever sag under the stress of 24/7 high-traffic use.
