Pella's Hardware Trim From Cifial/G-U Used After 1993
Pictured below is the standard hardware trim that comes with Pella's multipoint locking systems. Their hardware has a distinctive lever and escutcheon (back plate) design. Their paired French patio doors which have handles in the center of the two panels, typically have an active handle and a fixed dummy handle (click for photo). Please note this on your order as the dummy lever uses a special X-10-DOR™ design.
For an interim period between 1993 and about 1999, the interior side, active levers had a set screw in them to secure them to the spindle. Since then, a snap-ring has been used from the back side of the escutcheon. Our X-10-DOR™ works with both of these lever versions.
The trickiest finishes to determine are the satin nickel and polished chrome. The best way to tell the two apart are by looking at the levers - not the escutcheon. Chrome has a polished mirror finish and satin nickel has a brushed, satin appearance.
Pella's Hardware Trim From Baldwin Used Before 1993
This hardware used a set screw to secure the levers in place. Again it had a very distinctive design. This era of their trim uses a different X-10-DOR™ design from the Cifial version above. Please note the hardware's vintage when ordering.
