An exit device handles egress from the inside, but the trim is what goes on the pull side. It controls how the door is opened from the exterior and what level of access is required to get in.
Exit device trims come in lever, knob, pull and thumbpiece styles. Each one affects both the look of the door and the function, whether the outside is always locked, key-controlled or tied into an access system.
Electrified exit trims add an electrical component to the outside trim, allowing it to be released remotely or integrated with a card reader or keypad. Useful on doors that need controlled entry without a separate electric strike.
Not all trims are compatible with all exit devices. Brand, series and hand of the door all affect which trim will work. Confirming compatibility before ordering saves time on the job.
Exit device trims are available in satin chrome, dark bronze, brass and other standard architectural finishes so the hardware on both sides of the door matches the rest of the building.
