Dormakaba YR03R Wide Stile Exit Device Lever Trim

About this item

The Dormakaba YR03R is a wide stile lever trim for dormakaba and legacy DORMA 9000 Series exit devices, configured for the nightlatch (entrance) function with a raised Y escutcheon plate and rigid R rectangular lever. It is also referenced in the field and in distributor catalogs as the DORMA YR03R, carrying the legacy DORMA brand name from before the Dorma and Kaba merger. American Locksets is an authorized dormakaba dealer stocking the YR03R with same-day shipping and free shipping on all orders over $300.

Dormakaba YR03R Trim: Function 03 Nightlatch Explained

The function designator 03 in the YR03R identifies the nightlatch entrance function. Entrance by lever trim is provided when the latchbolt is retracted by key. The key is removable only when the lever is in the locked position. The inside panic touchbar always provides free mechanical egress. This is the standard entrance/nightlatch function for controlled entry doors where a keyed cylinder on the outside lever controls access, and the door self-secures when closed. It is not a classroom function and it is not a passage function. The outside lever is only active when key operation unlocks it.

The lever designation R identifies the rectangular flat lever style. The Y prefix identifies the raised escutcheon plate, which is a cast escutcheon that surrounds the cylinder opening and lever rose in a single formed unit rather than the sectional trim format used on the 9R series.

YR03R vs. YR08 and YR23: Choosing the Right Function

The YR prefix covers the Y escutcheon with R lever trim family across multiple functions. The function number after YR determines how the lever operates:

• YR03R (Function 03 Nightlatch): Entrance by lever when latchbolt retracted by key. Key removable only when locked. The lever is locked when the door is closed until key operation unlocks it. This is the correct trim when exterior access requires a key at all times

• YR08 (Function 08 Classroom): Entrance by lever. Key locks or unlocks lever. The lever can be set to either the locked or unlocked state by key and remains in that state until changed. This is the correct trim for classroom applications where the teacher can lock or unlock from inside

• YR23 (Function 23 Passage): Entrance by lever with no cylinder. Trim always active. No key required. Correct when the outside lever should always allow entry

Confirm the required function with the hardware schedule before ordering. Function 03 and Function 08 are the two most commonly confused on dormakaba exit device trims.
