What it is

Lutron's slimmest keypad

Architrave is a narrow, low-profile HomeWorks keypad that sits nearly flush with the wall and takes up almost no visual space (Lutron Architrave). Lutron positions it for minimalist interiors and for renovations where controls need to stay nearly invisible. Raised buttons give tactile landmarks, and green LEDs beside the buttons confirm the active scene.

5 or 7 buttons

The 5-button version includes raise and lower buttons for shades or dimming. The 7-button version is for more scenes.

Door Wide or Door Narrow

Lutron's spec sheet lists both widths for each button count.

Engraved faceplates

Custom text or icons identify each button. Faceplates are field-changeable.

Status LEDs

Green LEDs show which scene is active. Raise and lower buttons have none.

Finishes

One matte finish and twelve metals

Lutron lists an Architectural Matte White plus twelve metal faceplates (Architrave spec sheet). Lutron recommends black buttons when you order a metal faceplate.

Bronze and aluminumAntique Bronze, Clear Anodized Aluminum, Black Anodized Aluminum

Printed and on-screen colors do not match the metal exactly. Lutron sells color-chip keychains, and we bring finish samples to design meetings.

Where it fits

Controls that disappear into the architecture

Use Architrave where a standard keypad would be too wide, such as beside a door, on a narrow wall, or on a casing or trim run. Lutron describes it as an architectural element rather than an applied device. Its spec sheet also lists two contact-closure inputs on the back, for functions that do not use the front buttons.

Choosing

Architrave, Alisse, Palladiom, or Sunnata

Architrave is the narrowest option. Pick Alisse or Palladiom for a larger face and richer materials, Sunnata for a clean retrofit keypad, Aviena for brass toggles, and Signature for backlit buttons in a narrow body. Lutron lists Architrave with HomeWorks, and does not list RadioRA 3. See HomeWorks QSX.
