PDQ 4P03 Commercial Night Latch Exit Device Trim with Keyed Finger Pull

The PDQ 4P03 (formerly 429 PUK) is a high-security Night Latch Exit Device Trim designed for perimeter doors that must remain locked to the outside at all times. Featuring a low-profile Finger Grip Pull, this trim provides a sleek, vandal-resistant exterior interface for commercial and institutional buildings. It is the premier solution for facilities that require strict access control without the protruding footprint of a standard lever handle, which can be prone to catching on carts or being targeted by vandals.

Engineered for versatility, the 4P03 is a "problem-solver" for both new construction and retrofits. It is specifically designed to cover a standard 161 lock prep (2-1/8" cylindrical bore), allowing for a clean transition from a standard bored lock to a high-security exit device system. With its heavy-duty thru-bolt mounting, the trim is physically anchored to the interior exit device, creating a rigid, high-strength assembly that resists prying and forced entry.

ANSI Function 03: Night Latch Security

The ANSI 03 Function is a "constant-lock" security configuration. It ensures that the exterior side of the door is never accidentally left unlocked, making it a critical component for high-security areas.

• Controlled Entry: Entrance is only granted when the latch bolt is retracted by a key. The exterior finger pull is used to pull the door open once the key has cleared the latch.
• Key Retaining Security: The key is removable only when the device is in the locked position. This "night latch" logic ensures that security personnel or staff cannot inadvertently leave the door in an unlocked state after entry.
• Compatibility: This function is the industry standard for doors used in conjunction with electric strikes for electronic access control or for secondary exits that require a key bypass for authorized personnel.
• Interior Egress: Regardless of the exterior lock status, the interior exit device always allows for immediate, uninhibited emergency egress to meet all life-safety and fire codes.

Technical Specifications

Solutions for Facility Security and Access Control

The PDQ 4P03 Night Latch Trim is engineered to address common commercial hardware challenges:

• Standardized Keying: Shipped with the industry-standard Schlage C keyway, this trim can be easily integrated into existing master key systems, allowing authorized users to use a single key for multiple openings.
• Electronic Access Integration: This is the ideal mechanical trim for doors utilizing an electric strike. The "always locked" exterior ensures the door remains secure until the strike is energized or a physical key is used.
• Vandal-Resistant Design: The low-profile finger pull minimizes the leverage points available to vandals compared to standard levers, significantly reducing the risk of hardware breakage in high-abuse environments.
• Efficient Retrofitting: By covering the existing 2-1/8" bore of a standard door, the 4P03 eliminates the need for expensive door patching or replacement when upgrading to a panic bar system.
• Architectural Durability: Constructed from heavy-gauge stainless steel with a US32D finish, the trim provides maximum corrosion resistance for exterior-facing doors in harsh weather environments.
