ABH ABH-1812-2-US32D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does an ABH 1812 vertical rod protector actually do on an exit device door?
The ABH 1812 is a cover that shields the exposed vertical rod and latch bolt on a surface vertical rod exit device. It's an installation accessory, not a latching part, so it doesn't change how the device operates. The reason most people buy it is ADA related: it keeps the protruding rod and bolt from being an obstruction or a snag point on accessible openings in places like hospitals and schools. It ships in right hand (1812-2) and left hand (1812-3) latch bolt cover versions.
2) Will the ABH 1812 rod protector fit my door if it's a 1-3/8 inch wood door instead of hollow metal?
Door material and thickness aren't a constraint here. The 1812 installs on any type of metal, plastic, or wood door regardless of thickness, so hollow metal, mineral core wood, and plastic laminate doors all take the same part. What you do have to get right is the handing of the latch bolt cover.
3) Do I order right hand or left hand on the ABH 1812 latch bolt cover?
Handing is the one thing you have to specify. The latch bolt cover is handed: 1812-2 is the right hand cover, 1812-3 is the left hand. Hand it the same way the door is handed, not the way the rod runs, since the cover wraps the bottom latch bolt. If you're covering a pair of doors, that's one of each, not two of the same.
4) Can I use ABH 1812 vertical rod protectors on a fire rated door assembly?
Yes. The 1812 is fire rated construction, so it can go on fire rated door assemblies alongside the exit device. It's a commercial product, which is why it turns up on institutional openings where the same leaf has to satisfy both the fire door requirement and accessible route requirements.
5) Is there an installation template for the ABH 1812 vertical rod protector?
There is. ABH publishes a 1812-1813 Vertical Rod Protector and Latch Bolt Cover template plus a cut sheet for the vertical rod protector and latch bolt, and both come with the part. Pull the template before you drill, since the cover has to clear the bottom latch bolt travel on the device you're covering.
6) Is the ABH 1812 rod protector Buy American Act qualified for a government job?
No. The 1812 vertical rod protector is not BAA qualified. If your specification carries a Buy American Act requirement, this part won't satisfy it, so check the spec before you release the order on a federal or federally funded project.
7) Does the ABH 1812 only work with ABH exit devices, or any brand of surface vertical rod device?
The 1812 is a protector and cover, not a device component, and it mounts to the door rather than into the exit device. Its stated fit condition is the door: any metal, plastic, or wood door, any thickness. Nothing in ABH's data ties it to one brand of surface vertical rod device, so the practical check is clearance around your bottom latch bolt, which is what the ABH template is for.
8) I'm standardizing rod protectors across a hospital with mixed door types. Is one part number enough?
Two, not one. Because the 1812 fits every door material and thickness, you don't need to break the buy out by opening type the way you would with a lock or a closer. The only split is handing: 1812-2 for right hand openings and 1812-3 for left hand. Count your leaves by hand and you have your whole order.
9) Is the ABH 1812 keyed or does it lock anything?
Neither. There is no keying and no locking function on the 1812. It's purely a guard over the vertical rod and latch bolt, so it adds no security and removes none. Anything on the opening that needs to lock is handled by the exit device and its trim.
