PDQ 6W02 PHL Heavy-Duty Wide Escutcheon Dummy Trim - Philadelphia Lever Pull

The PDQ 6W02 PHL is an architectural-grade Dummy Exit Device Trim featuring a rigid Philadelphia (PHL) lever. As part of the premium 6000 Series, this wide escutcheon trim is engineered specifically for high-traffic commercial and institutional wide-stile doors. It serves as a rugged, non-operational pull handle for doors where entry is only required when the interior panic bar is "dogged" (held in the retracted position). Its heavy-duty cast alloy construction provides the industry's highest torque resistance, ensuring the lever remains perfectly horizontal even in high-abuse environments.

This trim is a premier retrofit and aesthetic solution for facility managers. The 3" x 9" wide escutcheon plate is specifically designed to cover existing door prep holes and scars from previous hardware, making it the ideal choice for door restoration projects. Unlike standard residential dummy levers, the 6W02 through-bolts directly into the exit device chassis, creating a solid, vibration-resistant assembly that will not loosen over time.

ANSI Function 02: Dummy Trim / Pull Only

The ANSI 02 Function is a non-locking, non-latching configuration used primarily for doors that do not require keyed entry or operational levers.

• Entrance by Pull Only: The exterior Philadelphia lever is fixed in a rigid position and does not rotate. It serves exclusively as a grip to pull the door open once the interior exit device has been dogged down for passage.
• No Cylinder Requirement: Because this function is non-operational, it features a clean, solid face with no cylinder hole. This eliminates a common point of vandalism and reduces maintenance by removing the need for a lock cylinder.
• Wide Stile Coordination: Specifically matched for use with the PDQ 6300 Series wide-stile rim and vertical rod devices, ensuring a consistent architectural look across all openings in a facility.
• Emergency Egress: This exterior trim has no effect on the interior device. Occupants can always exit immediately by pushing the interior panic bar, maintaining full life-safety compliance.

Solutions for Architectural Durability and Design

The PDQ 6W Series is built to solve common commercial hardware failures:

• Eliminate Lever Sag: While operational levers can sag due to internal spring fatigue, the 6W02 lever is physically fixed to the heavy-duty cast escutcheon. This ensures the Philadelphia lever stays level for the life of the door.
• Institutional Retrofitting: When switching from a standard lock to a panic bar, you are often left with a large 2-1/8" hole (161 prep). The 6W wide plate is designed to completely mask this hole, providing a clean, professional finish without the need for additional cover plates.
• ADA & Safety Compliance: The return-to-door design of the PHL lever meets all ADA and ICC/ANSI A117.1 requirements. It is designed to be easily grasped while preventing clothing or equipment from snagging on the hardware.
• Corrosion Resistance: Available in high-performance finishes like 630 (Satin Stainless Steel) and 626 (Satin Chrome), this trim is ideal for exterior-facing doors or humid environments where standard plated hardware might peel or rust.
• Buy American Act (BAA): Designed and assembled in the USA, this hardware meets the domestic sourcing requirements for federal, state, and municipal government projects.
