Finish codes

Finish codes: 626 (US26D), 630 (US32D) and more

626 is US26D satin chrome, 630 is US32D satin stainless steel and 689 is aluminum paint: 32 BHMA finish codes from the makers' own charts, with the older US code where there is one.

What does a BHMA finish code mean?

A BHMA finish code names the finish and the base metal under it, so the same code means the same finish from every maker: 626 is satin chrome plated on brass, 630 is satin stainless steel, and satin chrome on a steel hinge is a different code, 652. The older US codes, such as US26D for 626, are still printed on many boxes and quotes.

From the finish charts in the Rockwood, Hager, Sargent, Norton Rixson, ACCENTRA and BEST catalogs listed under Sources. Makers do not all use every code: where a chart gives a different code for the same look, the row says so. Hager, Sargent and ACCENTRA list the painted codes, 689 to 696, with no US code. Norton Rixson’s chart prints the nearest US look beside four of them, 689 (US28), 690 (US20), 691 (US10) and 696 (US4), and BEST’s pairs 690 with US20. BSP, black suede powder coat, and WSP, white suede powder coat, are maker codes with no BHMA number on the Rockwood, Sargent and Norton Rixson charts. Last checked against every chart below on 22 October 2026.

626 (US26D) vs 630 (US32D): satin chrome or satin stainless?

626, the older US26D, is a satin chrome plating over brass. 630, the older US32D, is solid satin stainless steel all the way through.

Some part numbers drop the “US”: Alarm Lock writes satin chrome as 26D, as in the Trilogy DL2700IC-26D keypad lock. The same satin chrome on a steel hinge carries a different BHMA code, 652.

Is a 689 finish the same as 626 satin chrome?

No. 689 is aluminum color paint or powder coat over any base metal, while 626 is chrome plated and 630 is solid stainless steel. They can look alike in a photograph, so the code on the old part or its box is what decides the replacement.

The painted codes run from 689 to 696: 690 dark bronze, 691 light bronze, 693 black, 694 medium bronze, 695 dark bronze and 696 gold. Makers split on dark bronze. Norton Rixson and BEST list it as 690, while ACCENTRA and Hager list it as 695, so check the code on the part you are matching.

613 (US10B) vs 613E: what is the difference?

613, the older US10B, is satin bronze that has been oxidized and oil rubbed, a living finish that patinas over time. 613E is the equivalent: a dark oxidized satin bronze finish made to match that look, written US10BE on Norton Rixson’s chart.

HES lists 613E on its 1500, 1600 and 9600 strikes as “dark oxidized satin bronze powder”. The BEST 9K lever lock comes in 613 oil rubbed bronze, but dormakaba’s warranty covers the 9K’s finish for three years in every finish except 613, which has no finish warranty.
