Cal-Royal Exit Device Trims

American Locksets stocks 198 Cal-Royal exit device trims covering every outside entry function for the complete Cal-Royal panic hardware line - lever trims, escutcheon lever trims, thumbpiece trims, pull trims, cover plates, cylinder dogging kits, mullions, and strikes. Compatible with Cal-Royal 2200, 4400, 5000, 6600, 7700, 8000, and 9800 Series exit devices, plus narrow stile and mortise rim configurations.

What Cal-Royal Exit Device Trim Does

Outside Entry Function Is Separate from the Exit Device

Every Cal-Royal exit device ships as an exit-only unit - push bar operates the latch from inside for egress, nothing more. The outside of the door has no entry function until an exit device trim is added. The trim is what determines who can enter from outside, how, and under what conditions. Selecting the wrong trim is the most common ordering error on Cal-Royal panic hardware installations, because the trim function has to match both the device series and the security requirement of the opening.

There are four trim functions across the Cal-Royal line:

Entrance (Function -00 / ANSI Function 08): Key from outside locks or unlocks the outside lever. When locked, the lever is rigid - it will not retract the latch. When unlocked, the lever operates freely. This is functionally equivalent to a classroom lockdown function - one key turn locks the door without opening it.

Storeroom (Function -05 / ANSI Function 09): Outside lever is always locked. Key from outside temporarily retracts the latch for entry, then the lever relocks automatically. Inside lever always provides instant egress regardless of the outside lock status.

Passage (Function -30 / ANSI Function 14): Outside lever always active. Free egress from either direction. No locking function. Used for connecting corridors, vestibule doors, and applications where unrestricted two-way traffic is required.

Dummy (Function -40): Outside trim is decorative only. No mechanical function - the lever or plate does not engage the latch. Used on inactive leaves of paired doors where aesthetic continuity matters but the trim doesn't need to operate.

Cal-Royal Exit Trim Types: Lever, Escutcheon, Thumbpiece, and Pull

Lever Trims: Clutch Mechanism, Rose Mount

Lever trims attach via a rose plate on the door face and include a clutch mechanism - when the lever is locked, it freewheels (spins freely) rather than engaging the latch mechanism. This is an important security distinction: a freewheeling clutch lever gives no physical feedback to an unauthorized user attempting to force entry, since the lever rotates without resistance.

The Cal-Royal 8000L Entrance Exit Device Lever Trim is the standard entrance function lever for 5000, 6600, and 7700 Series devices. Matching functions in the 8000 Series include the 8000PAS (passage), 8000S (storeroom), 8000DUM (dummy), and 8000K/8000KSTR knob trims for applications requiring a knob rather than a lever. The Cal-Royal CLU5000L Entrance Exit Device Clutch Lever Trim is the clutch lever option specific to the 5000 Series rim device.

For lever trims used on doors over 1-3/4 inches thick, the TAIL3 tailpiece extender is required. For the ENT00L lever trim on doors up to 2-1/4 inches thick, the TAIL1 extender handles the added door thickness.

Escutcheon Lever Trims: Rigid, Through-Bolted, Covers 161 Cutout

Escutcheon lever trims are the specification standard for commercial and institutional exit device installations. The escutcheon plate is rigid - the lever is non-clutch, meaning it has a hardened steel tailpiece that mechanically engages the cylinder cam directly without a freewheeling mechanism. The plate dimensions are 2-3/4 inch wide by 10-1/4 inch length, the lever is 4-3/4 inches, and the plate covers the standard 2-1/8 inch 161 cylindrical lock cutout on both sides of the door. All escutcheon trims are non-handed and through-bolted.

The Cal-Royal ESC7700 Entrance Exit Device Escutcheon Lever Trim is the rigid escutcheon trim for the 7700 and A7700 Series exit devices. The Cal-Royal RLESC7700 Entrance Escutcheon Lever Trim is the RL lever style variation for the same series. Standard 6-pin Schlage C mortise cylinder ships with entrance function escutcheon trims.

A critical spec point almost every competitor page misses: the 7700 Series escutcheon trim retrofits Von Duprin 99 and 98 Series exit devices. If a building has existing Von Duprin 99/98 Series hardware and the outside trim needs replacement, the Cal-Royal 7700 escutcheon trim is a direct retrofit. Similarly, the 9800 Series escutcheon trim retrofits the Sargent 8800 Series. These retrofit compatibilities are factory-documented and field-proven.

Thumbpiece Trims: For 9800 Series and Narrow Stile Applications

Thumbpiece trims provide a grip handle with a thumbpiece (thumbturn) that controls the latch from outside. Available in entrance (98TP-00), storeroom (98TP05), and passage (98TP30) functions for the 9800 Series. The narrow stile GLS (Glass) escutcheon trims - GLSRIM9800, GLSRIM9805, GLSRIM9830, GLSRIM9840, GLSCVR9800 - cover entrance, storeroom, passage, and dummy functions for narrow stile rim and CVR exit devices installed on aluminum frame glass storefront doors.

The Cal-Royal N-CVRESC00 Entrance Exit Device Escutcheon Lever Trim and N-CVRESC05 Storeroom Escutcheon Lever Trim are for concealed vertical rod (CVR) exit device applications. The N-MRESC-05 Storeroom Escutcheon Lever Trim serves mortise rim combination devices.

Pull Trims and Cover Plates

The 2200DTP and 2200NL pull trims for 2200 Series devices provide a fixed grip on the outside with no locking mechanism - correct for fire exit applications where outside entry is not permitted but a pull handle assists door closing. The 2200EOP and 9800EOP cover plates close out the door prep with no outside trim hardware at all - used on exit-only stairwell and fire exit doors where the opening must present no outside trim.

SFIC and Schlage LFIC Core Trim Options

Interchangeable Core Compatibility for Large Facility Key Systems

For facilities standardized on large-format interchangeable core (LFIC) key systems, Cal-Royal exit device trims are available in SFIC and Schlage LFIC compatible configurations. These trims accept the same removable cores used throughout the rest of the building's lock schedule - no separate cylinder specification required.

SFIC-compatible escutcheon trims for BEST and Falcon cores include the ICHDESC-00 Entrance Escutcheon Lever Trim and ICHDESC-05 Storeroom, available for the 7700 and 9800 Series. Schlage LFIC-compatible trims include the ICSCHDESC-00 and ICSCHDESC-05 configurations, and the ICSCATENT00L4 entrance lever trim accepting Schlage LFIC cores.

Sargent R, Corbin/Russwin, and Yale IC trim options are also available for facilities using those key systems, confirming Cal-Royal's commitment to building-wide master key system compatibility rather than proprietary cylinder formats.

Cylinder Dogging Kits and Mullions

Cylinder Dogging Kits: Series and Size Specific

Cal-Royal's cylinder dogging kits convert a standard hex key dogging device to cylinder dogging - a key in the outside cylinder holds the push bar depressed for free egress during business hours, eliminating the hex key entirely. Dogging kits are available for the 2200, 6600, and 7700 Series in both 36-inch and 48-inch door widths. The 36CD2200, 36CD6600, and 36CD7700 kits cover 36-inch installations. The 48CD2200 kit handles 48-inch 2200 Series applications. IC versions (IC36CD7700, ICSC36CD7700, ICSC48CD7700) accept SFIC or Schlage LFIC cores. Fire-rated devices cannot be dogged - these kits are for non-fire-rated openings only.

The Cal-Royal 418 Removable Mullion is the aluminum prime finish option for paired door applications where a removable center post allows wide-clearance access when needed. The 424 Fire Exit Mullion handles fire-rated paired door configurations.

Why the Right Cal-Royal Exit Trim Spec Matters

There's a reason this category has 198 products. Exit device trim selection has five variables every one of which has to be right before anything ships: the device series (2200, 4400, 5000, 6600, 7700, 8000, 9800, CVR, GLS, N-MR), the trim type (lever, escutcheon, thumbpiece, pull, cover plate), the function (entrance, storeroom, passage, dummy), the cylinder or core type (standard Schlage C, SFIC, Schlage LFIC, Corbin, Sargent, Yale), and the door thickness (1-3/4 standard or 2-1/4 with TAIL3 extender). Getting any one of those five wrong means the trim either won't mount or won't operate correctly.

The team at American Locksets has been specifying Cal-Royal trim against Cal-Royal devices since 2001. Two decades of matching trim to device means we've seen the mismatches, we know the retrofit compatibility rules, and we know which cylinder dogging kit fits which door size. 

Frequently Asked Questions: Cal-Royal Exit Device Trims

Q: What's the difference between a lever trim and an escutcheon lever trim? 

Lever trims use a clutch (freewheeling when locked). Escutcheon trims are rigid with a through-bolted plate covering the 161 door prep - no clutch, hardened steel tailpiece direct-drive.

Q: Do Cal-Royal exit trims ship with a cylinder? 

Entrance and storeroom function escutcheon trims ship with a standard 6-pin Schlage C mortise cylinder. Passage and dummy trims ship without a cylinder.

Q: Will 7700 Series escutcheon trim fit a Von Duprin 99 or 98 Series device? 

Yes. The Cal-Royal 7700 Series escutcheon trim is a factory-documented retrofit for Von Duprin 99 and 98 Series exit devices.

Q: Will 9800 Series escutcheon trim fit a Sargent 8800?

 Yes. The 9800 escutcheon trim retrofits the Sargent 8800 Series - same template, confirmed retrofit compatibility.

Q: What trim do I need for a door thicker than 1-3/4 inches?

 Add TAIL3 for 2-1/4 inch thick doors when using escutcheon trims. TAIL1 covers doors up to 2-1/4 inches for ENT00L lever trims.

Q: What does the "IC" prefix mean on Cal-Royal trim model numbers?

 IC designates interchangeable core compatibility - these trims accept BEST or Falcon SFIC cores. ICSC prefix accepts Schlage LFIC cores.
