Accentra (Yale) AU627F-626 Nightlatch Exit Device Trim W/ Augusta Lever

About this item

The Accentra AU627F-626 is a nightlatch function exit device trim combining a solid forged escutcheon with the Augusta lever, finished in 626 Satin Chrome, and designed to pair with Yale 7000, 6000, and 2100 Series exit devices. It ships less cylinders as standard, allowing installers to specify the cylinder that matches the facility's existing keyway. American Locksets stocks this trim in satin chrome at a significant discount off list price, with same-day shipping on in-stock orders and free shipping on all orders over $300.

Accentra Yale AU627F Nightlatch Exit Device Trim, Augusta Lever, 626 Satin Chrome

The AU627F carries Function 03, the nightlatch configuration. From the exterior, a key cylinder retracts the latch to allow controlled entry. The inside lever is always free for immediate egress without a key. This function is specified on secured perimeter doors, office suite entries, school corridor entries, and any commercial opening where controlled exterior access is required while maintaining life safety egress from inside at all times.

The AU designation on this trim line identifies the Augusta lever, Accentra's standard commercial lever profile designed for high-traffic institutional applications. The F suffix indicates the escutcheon trim format, which means the trim presents as a full escutcheon plate on both faces of the door rather than a rose-and-lever configuration.

Free-Wheeling Lever Mechanism

Every Accentra AU series exit device trim incorporates the Free-Wheeling lever mechanism. This is not standard lever hardware. The internal clutch allows the lever to float downward 60 degrees when operated in the locked condition, meaning someone who yanks or forces the exterior lever gets no mechanical resistance transferred to the trim body. The lever gives, absorbs the force, and the hardware remains intact. On school buildings, government facilities, and any high-traffic door subject to abuse, this design prevents the damage mode that replaces lever trims in quantity every few years.

Specifications

The AU627F-626 through-bolts directly to compatible Accentra exit devices, creating a structurally bonded assembly rather than a surface-mounted attachment. Through-bolting is the correct method for exit device trim in commercial applications because it distributes load across the door stile rather than relying on surface fasteners alone.

AU627F vs. Other Accentra Augusta Trim Functions

The AU627F nightlatch is one of three Augusta escutcheon trim functions available for this exit device family. The AU626F Classroom/Storeroom trim covers the classroom and storeroom functions, where the outside lever is permanently locked until a key unlocks it for passage. The AU628F Passage trim is free-wheeling on both sides with no locking function, suited to corridors and interior openings that require only egress hardware without key control. For rose-format trim rather than full escutcheon, the Accentra AU541F nightlatch lever with rose trim covers the same function in a narrower profile.
