Door trims and handles are the parts people touch every time they use a door. They include lever handles, exit device trim, pull handles, push plates, pull plates, and kick plates. Each one controls how a door opens, locks, or holds up to daily wear. The right trim makes a door easy to use and hard to abuse. The wrong trim leads to sagging levers, loose pulls, and failed inspections. Our team helps businesses across the DMV choose trim that fits the door, the lock, and the traffic.
Busy commercial doors open hundreds of times a day. Light-duty handles wear out fast under that load. We install ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 and Grade 2 levers and trim made for offices, hospitals, hotels, and government buildings. We set every handle to meet ADA rules. It works with one hand, needs no tight grip or twist, and sits 34 to 48 inches above the floor. You get hardware that lasts for years and passes inspection.
Not every door needs the same trim. A storefront needs a solid pull. A fire exit needs the right exit device trim. An office needs a lever that locks the way you want. Explore each door trim and handle type. Each page explains how the hardware works, where it fits best, and how we install, repair, or replace it.

No. Round knobs need a tight grip and a twist of the wrist, which ADA rules do not allow on accessible doors. Lever handles, U-shaped pulls, and push plates meet the rule. Operable parts must also work with one hand and sit between 34 and 48 inches above the floor. We can swap old knobs for compliant levers that fit your existing door prep.
It depends on who should get in from outside. Dummy trim gives no outside entry and works only as a pull. Night latch trim needs a key to pull back the latch. Passage lever trim lets anyone in at any time. Storeroom and classroom functions add more control. We match the trim to your exit device brand, series, and local code.
Door trims and handles work best when the whole opening works together. Explore our other door hardware guides to plan a complete, code-ready upgrade for your commercial building.
