Arrow S1250G AL – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What door thickness and stile width does the Arrow S1250 exit device need?
1-3/4 inch doors only, in hollow metal, with a 4-1/2 inch minimum stile. That 4-1/2 inch stile is the number that kills most aluminum storefront installs, because storefront stiles are usually narrower. On a thin-stile aluminum door you want a narrow stile rim device instead, such as the Adams Rite 8700 Series or the Corbin Russwin ED4200.
2) Will the Arrow S1250 latch into the rim strike that is already on my frame?
The latchbolt throws 3/4 inch (19.05mm) and is stainless steel, which is the standard rim strike engagement, so it will pick up a surface-mounted rim strike set at that projection. Because it's a rim device it latches into a strike on the frame face or on the stop, not into the floor or head, so no threshold or head prep is involved.
3) Does the Arrow S1250 meet Grade 1 and egress code for a commercial building?
ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1, UL and CUL listed for the accident hazard (panic) standard, and compliant with NFPA 101 life safety code. It also meets ANSI A117.1 accessibility. That's the spec set an institutional or MRO buyer needs for a commercial egress door.
4) The Arrow S1250 is not fire rated. What 48 inch rim exit device should be used on a fire rated opening instead?
The Arrow S1250 as configured is not a fire rated device. For a fire rated opening at the same width, the Marks USA M9900F is a 48 inch fire rated rim panic exit device, exit only, with a panic protector end cap. Other fire rated rim devices in the class include the Dexter ED1000-R-F-EO, a Grade 1 fire rated rim exit device, and the Adams Rite 3700, a Grade 1 fire rated narrow stile rim device at 30 inches. Fire rated hardware is required to be listed for the label on the door, so the device has to carry the rating rather than the opening carrying it alone.
5) What is a straight equivalent to the Arrow S1250 48 inch rim exit device from another manufacturer?
The Arrow S1250 is a 48 inch rim exit device certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1. The closest like-for-like swaps at the same width and grade are the Sargent 2828, a Grade 1 exit only rim device for 48 inch minimum door width, and the Corbin Russwin ED3200, a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim device fitting 1-3/4 inch doors. The Dormakaba 9300 also comes as a 48 inch wide stile Grade 1 rim device, exit only, for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick. All three land on the same 48 inch opening and the same Grade 1 certification as the S1250.
6) The Arrow S1250 needs a 4-1/2 inch minimum stile. What rim exit device works on a narrow stile aluminum door?
The Arrow S1250 requires a 4-1/2 inch minimum stile, 4-5/8 inch on fire labeled devices, so a narrow stile aluminum storefront door is outside its range. Narrow stile rim devices built for that opening include the Adams Rite 8800, a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick, the Falcon 19-R exit only narrow stile device at 36 inches for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin ED4200 Grade 1 narrow stile device at 36 inches, and the TownSteel ED3700, a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim device at 36 inches.
7) Which exit devices look like a substitute for the Arrow S1250 but will not function as one?
Two categories are easy to confuse with the Arrow S1250, a Grade 1 rim exit device. The first is a dummy device: the Detex Advantex 00 Series is a super heavy duty Grade 1 wide stile dummy exit device, and the Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM is a Grade 1 fire rated wide stile device with a dummy function. Dummy devices provide the push bar appearance without latching. The second is a concealed vertical rod device: the Hager 4501 is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod exit device with a wide stile pushpad and the Hager 4601 is the narrow stile concealed vertical rod version. Those latch top and bottom into the frame and floor rather than into a rim strike, so they require different door prep than a rim device.
8) What rim exit device should be used instead of the Arrow S1250 on a door thicker than 1-3/4 inches?
The Arrow S1250 is built for 1-3/4 inch thick wood or hollow metal doors. Where the door is thicker, the Adams Rite 8800 covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch as a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device, the Dormakaba 9300 covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch as a 48 inch wide stile Grade 1 device, and the SDC S6136 covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. Measure the leaf at the lock edge before ordering, since a device sized for 1-3/4 inch will not make up the difference on a thicker door.
9) What is a comparable 48 inch wide stile rim exit device to the Arrow S1250?
Close equivalents at 48 inches include the Corbin Russwin ED3200, a Grade 1 wide stile crossbar rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Dormakaba 9300A, a Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile exit only device that covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch thickness. The CRL Jackson 1095 is a 48 inch wide stile crossbar device if you want a crossbar rather than a push rail, and the Cal-Royal A9820 is a 48 inch heavy duty exit only option. Where the S1250 is a push rail with hex or cylinder dogging, the ED3200 and the 1095 are crossbar devices, which look different on the door.
10) Do I have to specify handing when I order an Arrow S1250 rim device?
No handing to call out. The S1250 is reversible, so one device covers left and right hand openings. That matters for a property manager stocking a spare: one unit on the shelf fits any door in the building that meets the 1-3/4 inch thickness and 4-1/2 inch stile.
11) Can I hold the door unlatched during business hours with the Arrow S1250?
Dogging is built in. The S1250 ships with Allen-type key dogging as standard, and a cylinder dogging option is available if you'd rather control it with a keyed cylinder than a hex key. Hex dogging is fine for a back-of-house door; cylinder dogging is what you want where staff shouldn't be able to dog it open with a hardware store Allen wrench.
12) Should I use a rim exit device or a vertical rod device on my door?
A rim device like the S1250 latches into a strike on the frame, so it suits a single door in a frame or the active leaf of a pair with a mullion. If you have a pair of doors with no center mullion, a rim device has nothing to latch into and you need a vertical rod device that bolts at the head and threshold, such as the Hager 4501 concealed vertical rod. For an all-glass or thin-stile aluminum pair, neither applies and you're back to a narrow stile device.
13) I need an exit device that releases an electric lock or ties into access control. Is the Arrow S1250 the right choice?
The S1250 is a mechanical panic device with hex or cylinder dogging, no switching. For access control you want a device built for it: the SDC S6136 is an electrified architectural rim device for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors on a 4 inch wide stile, the SDC MSB550 is a mechanical switch bar that releases an electromagnetic lock, and the Dormakaba E2103 with 4908A trim is an electrified rim device in classroom function.
14) Is there a Grade 2 rim exit device instead of the Grade 1 Arrow S1250 for a lower traffic door?
The Arrow S1250 is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1. Where a Grade 2 device is acceptable, the Cal-Royal 5500 is a 48 inch wide rim exit device with a push bar, Grade 2, heavy duty, and the Cal-Royal 5000 is the 36 inch touch bar version with a Grade 2 chassis. Neither Cal-Royal is fire rated or listed for wood doors, the same as the S1250 in that respect. Grade 1 and Grade 2 are separate ANSI/BHMA cycle and strength categories, so check what the specification on the job calls for before substituting.
15) What is the difference between the Arrow S1250 push bar device and a crossbar rim exit device?
The Arrow S1250 is a rim exit device with a rail assembly furnished for doors up to 36 inches and cut down to 32 inches, or ordered in alternate rail sizes for narrow or wide doors. Crossbar devices are a different actuator style: the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim exit device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the CRL Jackson 1095 is a 48 inch crossbar rim panic device, exit only, wide stile. A crossbar is not a drop-in for a push rail, since the door face prep and the visual match to adjacent openings both change.
16) Can an electrified exit bar be used in place of the mechanical Arrow S1250?
The Arrow S1250 is a mechanical rim exit device with Allen key dogging standard and a cylinder dogging option. It is not an access control device. Where the opening needs to tie into a lock release or an access control system, the SDC S6136 is a 36 inch electrified architectural rim exit device on a 4 inch wide stile for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch thick, the SDC MSB550 is a 36 inch mechanical switch bar with electromagnetic lock release, and the Securitron EMB is an electromechanical exit bar for 2-1/4 inch doors. These require power and wiring the S1250 does not, so they are a different scope of work rather than a straight swap.
17) What 48 inch rim exit device matches the Arrow S1250 for a facility standardizing on Grade 1 hardware across multiple exits?
The Arrow S1250 carries ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1, ANSI A117.1 accessibility, UL and CUL panic listing, and compliance with NFPA 101. Matching Grade 1 rim devices at the 48 inch width are the Sargent 2828, a Grade 1 reversible rim device for 48 inch minimum door width, the Sargent 3828, a Grade 1 reversible standard push bar rim device for 48 inch doors, and the Dormakaba 9300, a Grade 1 heavy duty 48 inch wide stile device. Like the S1250, the Sargent 2828 and 3828 are reversible, which matters when a run of openings hands differently.
18) The Arrow S1250 is 48 inches. What is the equivalent for a standard 36 inch door?
The Arrow S1250 at 48 inches covers wide openings, with the standard rail furnished for doors up to 36 inches and cut down to 32 inches. For a 36 inch opening, comparable Grade 1 rim devices include the Von Duprin 22-3FT, a 36 inch non-handed wide stile pushpad rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin ED2200, a Grade 1 36 inch wide stile exit only device, the TownSteel ED1100, a Grade 1 heavy duty 36 inch wide stile panic rim device, and the Dexter ED1000-R-EO-3FT, a Grade 1 3 foot rim exit device. All four are Grade 1 like the S1250 and none is fire rated.
19) What is an extra heavy duty alternative to the Arrow S1250 for a high traffic exit?
The Arrow S1250 is a Grade 1 commercial rim exit device with a non-ferrous alloy chassis and cover, metal end caps, a steel rail assembly, and stainless steel latchbolt with a 3/4 inch throw. For openings cycling harder, the Detex 10 Advantex is a 36 inch wide stile extra heavy duty Grade 1 rim device and the Detex 40 Advantex is the extra heavy duty narrow stile version, both rated above the heavy duty tier that devices like the TownSteel ED9700 and Dormakaba QED200 carry.
20) What rim exit device accepts outside trim as an alternative to the Arrow S1250?
Where the opening needs keyed or lever entry from the outside, the Corbin Russwin ED5200 is a Grade 1 36 inch wide stile rim device listed for exit only and accepts trim, and the Corbin Russwin ED4200 is the Grade 1 narrow stile equivalent that also accepts trim. Both fit 1-3/4 inch doors, the same thickness the Arrow S1250 is built for. Devices catalogued strictly as exit only, such as the CRL Jackson 1295 push pad device, are pushbar egress with no outside operation.
21) What is the Arrow S1250 built out of and will it hold up on a high traffic exterior door?
Non-ferrous alloy chassis and cover, steel rail assembly, metal end caps, and stainless steel latchbolt and bolts. It's a Grade 1 commercial device, which is the heaviest ANSI/BHMA operational grade for exit hardware and the one specified for high traffic openings.
22) The Arrow S1250 comes with Allen key dogging. What other rim exit devices offer hex key dogging?
The Arrow S1250 ships with Allen type key dogging standard and a cylinder dogging option. Other rim devices carrying hex key dogging are the Design Hardware 1000R, a 33 inch heavy duty rim device with hex key dogging, the Design Hardware 2000R, the 33 inch standard duty version with hex key dogging, and the Stanley Security QED211, a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim device with hex key dogging. Dogging holds the latch retracted for scheduled open hours, which is why it is usually a requirement on retail and school entrances.
