Abstract
An exit device assembly is provided in which the exterior trim can be locked and unlocked from an interior lock cylinder assembly on the interior side of the door and from an exterior lock cylinder assembly on an exterior side of the door. The interior lock cylinder assembly is located on a center case of the pushbar assembly, and the exterior lock cylinder assembly is located on the exterior trim. The interior lock cylinder assembly is operable to transition the exterior trim between a locked state and an unlocked state, and the exterior lock cylinder assembly is operable to lock and unlock the exterior trim.
Claims20
An exit device assembly for mounting to an ingress side and an egress side of a door, the exit device assembly comprising:
- a pushbar assembly configured for mounting to the egress side of the door, the pushbar assembly including a pushbar for movement between a projected position and a depressed position and a latch control assembly operably connected with the pushbar and a latch mechanism such that the movement of the pushbar from the projected position to the depressed position moves the latch control assembly from a deactuated state to an actuated state that actuates the latch mechanism;
- an exterior trim configured for mounting to the ingress side of the door, the exterior trim including a manual actuator that is operably connected to one of the latch control assembly and the latch mechanism actuate the latch mechanism from the deactuated state to the actuated state;
- an exterior lock cylinder assembly mounted on the exterior trim, the exterior lock cylinder assembly being configured to rotate between a first position in which the manual actuator is prevented from being operated to actuate the latch mechanism and a second position in which the exterior lock cylinder assembly enables manual actuator to be operated to actuate the latch mechanism;
- and
- an interior lock cylinder assembly mounted on the pushbar assembly, the interior lock cylinder assembly being configured to rotate between a first position in which the manual actuator is prevented from being operated to actuate the latch mechanism and a second position in which the interior lock cylinder assembly enables the manual actuator to be operated to actuate the latch mechanism.
