ABH ABH-181124-US32D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will ABH 1811 vertical rod protectors fit my doors if they aren't standard thickness?
Door thickness doesn't matter with the 1811 rod protectors. They install on any type of metal, plastic, or wood door regardless of thickness, because the covers shield the exposed vertical rod and latch bolt on the face of the door rather than mounting through it. The variable to match is rod length, not door construction: covers come in 24, 36, and 48 inch lengths.
2) What exactly comes in the ABH 1811 kit, or do I have to buy the latch bolt covers separately?
One 1811 kit covers a single door complete: two vertical rod covers plus one right-hand and one left-hand latch bolt cover. You do not order the latch covers on their own, and because both handings are in the box you don't specify handing when ordering.
3) Can I put rod covers on a fire rated door without voiding the label?
The 1811 vertical rod protectors are fire rated construction, so they are made for use on fire rated openings with surface vertical rod exit devices in commercial buildings. Install to the ABH template and cut sheet so the covers do not interfere with the rod travel or the latching action at the head and threshold.
4) Will ABH 1811 protectors work on concealed vertical rod exit devices?
No. The 1811 covers only do something where the rod is exposed on the face of the door, which means surface vertical rod devices. On a concealed vertical rod device the rods run inside the door already, so there is nothing to cover and no pinch point to guard. Check which type you have before ordering: if you can see the rod running up the push side of the door, these apply.
5) Do vertical rod covers actually help with ADA accessibility on exit doors?
They address one specific ADA concern: contact with the exposed vertical rod mechanism. The 1811 covers enclose the rods and latch bolts so a user pushing through the door cannot reach into a pinch point, which is why they show up in hospitals, schools, and similar facilities. They are compliance assistance for the exposed hardware, not a substitute for door force, clear width, or maneuvering clearance requirements on the opening itself.
6) Can ABH 1811 vertical rod protectors be used on a federal job with Buy American requirements?
The 1811 is not BAA qualified, so it will not satisfy a Buy American Act requirement on a federally funded project. On a commercial or institutional job with no BAA clause that is not a factor.
7) I have a pair of doors with surface vertical rods, how many 1811 kits do I order?
One kit per door leaf. Each 1811 kit contains two rod covers and a matched pair of latch bolt covers, which is what a single leaf with a surface vertical rod device needs (top rod, bottom rod, and the latch bolts at each end). A pair of doors with a device on each leaf takes two kits.
8) Is the ABH 1811 rod protector rated for commercial use or is it a residential product?
Strictly commercial. The 1811 is catalogued as commercial door hardware and the application list runs to hospitals, schools, office buildings, government and municipal facilities, multi-tenant residential, industrial and warehouse, and retail. If you are standardizing a facility, one kit per surface vertical rod door gives you the same protection detail across every opening.
9) Does the ABH 1811 need to be keyed or matched to my keying system?
No keying is involved. The 1811 is a non-keyed protective cover kit with no cylinder and no locking function, so it has no keyed function to specify and nothing to key alike with the rest of your building.
10) Is there an installation template for ABH vertical rod protectors?
Yes. ABH publishes a vertical rod protector and latch bolt cut sheet plus a mounting template covering the vertical rod protector and latch bolt cover, and both come with the product. Use the template to locate the covers so they clear the rod stroke and the latch bolt at the head and threshold.
