TRIMCO
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about TRIMCO from 3G Electric.
What are the specifications of the TRIMCO antimicrobial door pull?
The TRIMCO antimicrobial door pull (MPN 1894-3.710CU) is constructed from copper alloy with a stainless steel finish. It measures 3 1/2 inches wide by 15 inches high and is a hand-operated pull. The copper alloy material provides inherent antimicrobial properties, making it suitable for high-touch areas in healthcare, food processing, and other hygiene-sensitive environments. This pull is designed for door plates where frequent contact occurs, and the stainless steel finish offers corrosion resistance. 3G Electric supplies this model as part of its TRIMCO door hardware range, with specifications available for verification.
How does the TRIMCO hands-free door pull operate?
The TRIMCO hands-free door pull (MPN UFP.316S) is a foot-operated device made of stainless steel with a gray finish. It measures 4-1/2 inches wide by 2 inches high. Designed for hands-free operation, it allows users to open doors using a foot, reducing hand contact with surfaces. This is particularly useful in industrial environments, restrooms, and clean areas where minimizing touch points supports hygiene protocols. The pull is installed at the base of the door and is actuated by stepping on it. 3G Electric carries this model as part of its TRIMCO line, providing a solution for facilities seeking to limit physical contact with door handles.
What is the difference between TRIMCO passage paddle locksets with push up/pull down and push up/pull up styles?
TRIMCO passage paddle locksets are available in different operation styles. The push up/pull down style requires the paddle to be pushed up or pulled down to release the latch, while the push up/pull up style requires pushing up in either direction. Both are ADA compliant and designed for interior doors where locking is not required, such as hallways, closets, or restrooms. The choice between styles depends on user preference and door handing. Models include 1581ALH-2-52.710CU (push up/pull down), 1563ALH-2-52.710CU (push up/pull up), and others. 3G Electric stocks multiple configurations to match specific door requirements.
Are TRIMCO passage paddle locksets ADA compliant?
Yes, the TRIMCO passage paddle locksets listed are ADA compliant. This means they meet the accessibility standards for barrier-free operation, allowing use with a closed fist or minimal grasping force. The paddle design enables operation without tight pinching or twisting, which is important for compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. These locksets are intended for interior doors where locking is not required, such as hallways, closets, and restrooms. 3G Electric supplies several models, including 1580ALH-2-52.710CU, 1581ARH-2-52.710CU, and 1581APLH-2-52.710CU, all with ADA compliance noted in their specifications.
What materials are used in TRIMCO door pulls and locksets?
TRIMCO door pulls and locksets use materials such as copper alloy and stainless steel. The antimicrobial door pull (1894-3.710CU) is made from copper alloy with a stainless steel finish, combining antimicrobial properties with corrosion resistance. The hands-free door pull (UFP.316S) is constructed of stainless steel with a gray finish, offering durability and cleanability. Passage paddle locksets are typically made from metal alloys with finishes that withstand frequent use. These material choices support long service life in commercial and industrial settings. 3G Electric provides material specifications for each TRIMCO product to assist in selection based on environmental conditions and hygiene requirements.
How can I select the right TRIMCO door hardware for my facility?
Selection depends on door function, traffic volume, and hygiene needs. For high-touch areas, consider the antimicrobial door pull (1894-3.710CU) made of copper alloy. For hands-free access, the foot-operated pull (UFP.316S) reduces contact. For interior doors without locking, choose passage paddle locksets in the appropriate style (push up/pull down or push up/pull up) and handing. All locksets are ADA compliant. 3G Electric provides detailed specifications, including dimensions, materials, and operation type, to help match products to your requirements.
