Frequently Asked Questions
What does Blank Escutcheon mean?
BE means no cylinder cutout in the escutcheon plate. The trim has a clean, uninterrupted face — no keyway.
When would I use a passage trim?
Interior doors, stairwells, and any location where the door should be operable from both sides without keyed restriction.
Can I add a cylinder later?
No. The escutcheon is solid. To add keyed function, you would need to replace with 996L-RV (active lever) or 996L-NL-RV (nightlatch).
