PDQ 4GW03 Night Latch Exit Device Grip Pull Trim - ANSI Function 03 Keyed Entry

The PDQ 4GW03 (legacy model 429GPG) is an institutional-grade Night Latch Pull Trim designed for high-security commercial openings. Featuring a robust 12-1/4" pull handle plate, this trim provides a heavy-duty physical interface for perimeter doors, stairwell exits, and delivery entrances. It is the premier solution for facilities that require a "constant-lock" exterior, ensuring that the door is never inadvertently left unlocked while providing a large, accessible grip for authorized users.

Engineered to be a "problem-solver" for building managers, the 4GW03 is designed to cover a standard 2-1/8" (161) lock prep. This allows you to upgrade a standard bored-hole door to a high-security exit device system without the need for expensive door replacement or patching. By utilizing a rigid pull handle instead of a lever, this trim eliminates the primary point of failure in high-abuse environments—lever sagging—while offering superior resistance to vandalism and forced entry.

ANSI Function 03: Constant-Lock Night Latch Security

The ANSI 03 Function is defined by its "always-locked" exterior state, providing a high-security barrier that only retracts for authorized key holders.

• Authorized Access Only: The exterior pull handle is fixed and does not move. Entrance is only possible when a key is inserted and turned to manually retract the latch bolt.
• Key-Retaining Logic: To ensure maximum security, the key can only be removed when the device is returned to the locked position. This prevents staff or security personnel from accidentally leaving the door in an "unlocked" or "passage" state after entry.
• Electronic Integration: This trim is the industry standard for use with electric strikes. The exterior remains physically locked at all times, allowing the electric strike to control access electronically while the key provides a mechanical override.
• Interior Safety: Regardless of the exterior locking status, the interior exit device always allows for immediate, single-motion egress, maintaining full compliance with fire and life-safety codes.

Solutions for Institutional Security and Durability

The PDQ 4GW Series is built to solve the most common hardware failures in commercial settings:

• Eliminate Lever Sag: Lever-style trims in high-traffic schools or warehouses eventually sag due to gravity and abuse. The 4GW03 uses a fixed grip pull, removing the mechanical stress points and extending the life of the exit device by years.
• Vandal-Resistant Profile: The heavy-duty pull handle is through-bolted directly to the exit device chassis. This creates a high-strength "sandwich" effect on the door, making the trim nearly impossible to pry or kick off.
• Universal Retrofit: Because the 3" x 12-1/4" plate is oversized, it effectively hides old mounting holes and scars from previous hardware, providing a clean, professional finish for door restoration projects.
• Accessibility & Ease of Use: The large grip area is ideal for users wearing gloves or those with limited dexterity, providing a far more ergonomic solution than small finger pulls for heavy-duty commercial doors.
• Master Key Integration: Supplied with a standard 6-pin Schlage C cylinder, this trim can be easily re-keyed into your facility’s existing master key system by a professional locksmith.
