About this item
The Adams Rite 3001-21-US32D is the round tubular fixed pull trim with cylinder hole for Adams Rite mortise and rim exit devices - the outside pull on commercial narrow-stile aluminum and hollow metal doors where outside key access through the pull trim is required. If you searched "300x1.21" - this is the product. The search query "300x1.21" is a typed variant of "3001-21" where the dash between 3001 and 21 is entered as a period or the digits run together. This is the Adams Rite 3001 Series fixed pull, model suffix 21: mortise and rim compatible, with cylinder hole.
"300x1.21" Decoded: Understanding This Exact Model Number
The Adams Rite 3000 Series pull numbering is consistent and once you know the structure, any model in the series is immediately readable:
3001 - Round tubular pull profile. The 3001 is the cylindrical grab bar format - the round bar that is standard on commercial aluminum storefront doors across North America. The 3002 is the flat bar alternative in the same series.
21 - Device type (first digit) and cylinder hole (second digit). 2 = mortise and rim exit devices. 1 = with cylinder hole. So 21 = mortise/rim + with cylinder hole.
The full suffix matrix: 11 = mortise/rim, no hole. 21 = mortise/rim, with cylinder hole (this listing). 12 = CVR (concealed vertical rod), no hole. 22 = CVR, with hole. 13 = SVR (surface vertical rod), no hole. 23 = SVR, with hole.
US32D - Satin stainless steel (630 finish). The standard commercial finish for satin stainless on aluminum door hardware. US32D is weathering-resistant and the correct aesthetic match for most commercial aluminum storefront door systems.
What the Cylinder Hole Actually Does: Night Latch Function on Pull Trim
The 3001-21 is classified as night latch function - this is the key operational detail absent from every competitor page and the reason the cylinder hole exists.
On most commercial exit device doors, the outside pull is purely passive - you grip it to open the door when the inside device is in the unlatched state, and outside entry is controlled by a separate deadlatch or deadlock at a different location on the door. That is the 3001-11 (no cylinder hole).
When outside key control is integrated directly into the pull trim itself - typically on rim exit device doors where a cylinder in the pull controls the outside entry - the 3001-21 with cylinder hole is the correct specification. A mortise cylinder installs in the 1-5/32-inch diameter hole in the escutcheon. Turning the key from outside operates the device through the MS cam interface. This integrates outside key access into the pull handle itself, eliminating the need for a separate deadlatch cylinder at a different height on the door stile.
The MS Cam: The Most Common Ordering Error on This Product
The cylinder that goes into the 3001-21 cylinder hole is not a standard key-in-lever cylinder, not a rim cylinder, and not a standard mortise cylinder ordered without cam specification. It is a standard 1-inch length, 1-5/32-inch diameter mortise cylinder fitted with an Adams Rite MS cam.
The MS cam is a specific cam geometry engineered to engage Adams Rite's pivot locking mechanism. Ordering a mortise cylinder with the wrong cam - a standard straight cam, a C cam, or any non-MS cam - means the cylinder will install in the hole but will not operate the device. The key will turn, nothing will happen, and you will be back ordering the correct cam.
The Adams Rite 4036 mortise cylinder is the OEM cylinder option - 1-inch length, 1-5/32-inch diameter, five-pin tumbler, available with the correct MS cam. Third-party cylinder manufacturers also supply cylinders with MS cams - confirm MS cam compatibility before ordering any non-Adams Rite cylinder for this application. Interchangeable core (IC) cylinders are also compatible - both conventional and IC cylinder types fit the 3001-21 cylinder opening.
3001-21 vs 3001-11: Which Version You Need
If you are specifying this pull for a new installation or replacing existing trim, this is the selection decision:
3001-11 (without cylinder hole): The pull is a passive grip only. Outside key control is handled by a separate Adams Rite deadlatch (4900, 4500 series) or MS deadlock mounted at a different location on the door stile. No cylinder in the pull. Common on storefront doors where the deadlatch cylinder below the push bar handles outside entry.
3001-21 (with cylinder hole - this listing): Outside key control is in the pull trim itself. A mortise cylinder with MS cam in the pull escutcheon controls outside entry directly through the pull. Common when the rim device is the primary locking device and there is no separate deadlatch on the door.
If your existing installation has a cylinder hole in the escutcheon, order 3001-21. If the existing escutcheon has no hole, order 3001-11. Do not attempt to drill a cylinder hole in the field - the escutcheon geometry and cylinder seat are precision-machined and cannot be replicated with field drilling.
Escutcheon Dimensions and Physical Specifications
The 3001-21 escutcheon measures 2-3/4 inches by 11-1/2 inches (69.9mm by 292.1mm). This is the rectangular plate that mounts on the outside door face, through which the round tubular pull bar projects. The escutcheon covers the through-bolt attachment points and presents the finished appearance on the outside door face.
Non-handed - the same trim installs on left-hand and right-hand doors without modification. For hollow metal and wood doors. The cylinder is ordered separately - the 3001-21 ships as pull trim only, no cylinder included.
