ASSA ABLOY Accentra nexTouch Keypad Exit Trim (NTT610 / NTT620) — Grade 1 Exit-Device Upgrade for Chicago Commercial

ASSA ABLOY Accentra nexTouch Keypad Exit Trim (NTT610 / NTT620)

The ASSA ABLOY Accentra nexTouch Keypad Exit Trim is the exit-device retrofit member of ASSA ABLOY’s Accentra nexTouch family (formerly Yale nexTouch). It is ANSI/BHMA A156.13 Series 1000 Operational Grade 1 certified — designed to upgrade almost any existing exit device for keyless, code-based access without replacing the exit hardware itself. Heavy-duty construction with an ADA-friendly lever and a choice of touchscreen or pushbutton keypad depending on the model variant (NTT610 family vs. NTT620).

What’s Confirmed by the Official Accentra Spec

These specifications come directly from the manufacturer’s published product page and installation documentation:

• ANSI/BHMA A156.13 Series 1000 Operational Grade 1 certification
• Designed to upgrade almost any exit device for keyless code-based access
• Heavy-duty exit trim with ADA-friendly lever
• Two keypad options: touchscreen keypad on some variants, pushbutton keypad on others
• User code capacity: up to 500 user codes on the NTT610 family; NTT620 is rated for up to 25 user codes
• Available SKUs: AU-NTT610, AU-NTT612, AU-NTT620, AU-NTT622 and related model variations

Why “Exit Trim” Form Factor Matters

In commercial buildings, exit doors are the doors that swing outward in an emergency egress path — typically equipped with panic-bar exit devices (e.g., Von Duprin 99/33A/35A series, Sargent 80 series, Yale 7000 series). Federal life-safety code requires that occupants can push the exit bar from the inside without any prior action — instant egress.

But the outside of those doors usually has a trim — a lever, push pad, or pull handle — that lets authorized staff re-enter through the same door. The nexTouch Exit Trim is exactly that: a keypad-equipped exterior trim that mounts to the outside of the existing exit device, replacing the standard mechanical trim with a heavy-duty Grade 1 keypad version.

This is the right pick when:

• The exit door already has a working exit device (no need to replace) but the exterior side needs keyless access
• A retrofit project upgrading older mechanical-key trim to electronic keypad without changing the exit-device hardware
• ADA compliance requires an ADA-friendly lever — the nexTouch Exit Trim ships with an ADA-compliant lever

NTT610 vs. NTT620

The two model families differ primarily in user-code capacity:

• NTT610 family — up to 500 user codes; the right pick for properties with larger authorized-staff populations (schools, larger commercial buildings)
• NTT620 — up to 25 user codes; the cost-conscious pick for small businesses, single-team back-of-house, and properties where only a handful of users need entry

Vidimost specifies the right NTT variant per project at site walkthrough, balancing user-count needs against cost.

Product references in legacy specs, drawings, and existing-property nameplates may still use the Yale nexTouch name — this is the same product line.
