Cal-Royal 5000EO36-ALUM – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Cal-Royal 5000 latch into the strike already on my frame?
Don't count on it. The 5000 throws a 3/4 inch stainless latch bolt and ships with the Cal-Royal 938 rim strike packed in the box, which is the strike it is set up to engage. A rim strike is surface applied to the frame stop, so plan on mounting the supplied 938 rather than reusing whatever is there from a different maker's device.
2) How do I secure a pair of doors with a Cal-Royal 5000 rim device?
A rim device latches into a strike on the frame, so on a pair you need a fixed center mullion for the 5000 to latch against, and Cal-Royal offers mullions for that setup. If you cannot give up the clear opening in the middle, a rim device is the wrong choice: go to a vertical rod device that latches at head and threshold instead, such as the Hager 4501 concealed vertical rod at 36 inches.
3) What comes in the box with the Cal-Royal 5000 exit device, and what else do I need to order?
The 5000 arrives with the 938 rim strike and both wood and machine screws for mounting; thru-bolts are a request item, and on a metal door with heavy traffic most people ask for them. Outside trim is separate: lever and knob trims are Grade 2 with a clutch freewheeling mechanism available. The model as configured, 5000EO36-ALUM, is exit only, so if you need key or lever access from the outside, the trim goes on the order as a line of its own.
4) Is a Grade 2 exit device good enough for a school or hospital exit door?
The Cal-Royal 5000 is certified ANSI A156.3 Grade 2 and rated heavy duty, with a steel chassis, steel end cap and heavy-gauge painted steel rail. That covers a lot of commercial and institutional traffic. If your spec or facility standard calls Grade 1 outright, which many healthcare and education specs do, you need a Grade 1 device instead: the Von Duprin 22 Series at 36 inches, the Corbin Russwin ED5200, or the TownSteel ED9700 are all Grade 1 wide stile rim devices at that size.
5) My door is 48 inches wide. Can I use the Cal-Royal 5000?
No. The 5000 as configured is a 36 inch device sized for a 36 inch opening. For a 48 inch leaf, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 crossbar, the CRL Jackson 1095 at 48 inches, the Dormakaba 9300A, and the Marks USA M9900F at 48 inches are all 48 inch rim devices.
6) The opening needs a fire-rated exit device - what replaces the Cal-Royal 5000 there?
The Cal-Royal 5000 is a non-fire-rated device, which is why it carries Allen-type key dogging as standard. Fire-rated rim alternatives include the Marks USA M9900F in 36 inch and 48 inch exit-only versions, the Orca OED85 36 inch fire-rated rim device, the Dexter ED1000-R-F-EO Grade 1 fire-rated rim device, and the Arrow FS1250 32 inch fire-rated rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors. On a labeled opening the dogging feature does not carry over, so expect the fire-rated device to latch on every cycle.
7) Which rim exit devices besides the Cal-Royal 5000 will fit a wood door?
The Cal-Royal 5000 is not rated for wood door use. Among rim devices that are, the Adams Rite 3700 Series 30 inch is a fire-rated narrow stile rim device listed as wood door compatible, and the Adams Rite 8700 Series 30 inch is the non-fire-rated narrow stile equivalent, also wood door compatible. Both use Adams Rite starwheel interlocking. If the opening is hollow metal with a 161 prep the 5000 is the direct fit; if it is a wood leaf, the Adams Rite pair is where to look.
8) What is the closest 36-inch rim exit device to the Cal-Royal 5000EO36 if a Grade 1 device is required instead of Grade 2?
The Cal-Royal 5000 is certified to ANSI A156.3 Grade 2. For a 36-inch rim device carrying Grade 1, the TownSteel ED9700 is a 36-inch wide stile Grade 1 rim exit device, and the Von Duprin 22-3FT is a 36-inch non-handed wide stile pushpad rim device at Grade 1 for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Corbin Russwin ED5200 is another 36-inch Grade 1 rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors that accepts trim. All three keep the rim format, so the 161 hollow metal prep and strike approach stay in the same family; the grade line on the spec is where they differ from the 5000.
9) The door has a narrow aluminum stile - can the Cal-Royal 5000 go on it, or is a different device needed?
The Cal-Royal 5000 needs a minimum 3-3/4 inch stile and is built to cover a stock hollow metal door with a 161 cut-out, so a narrow aluminum stile calls for a narrow stile device instead. Narrow stile rim options include the Adams Rite 8800 Series 30 inch for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin ED4200 36 inch Grade 1 for 1-3/4 inch doors, the TownSteel ED3700 and ED8900 in 36 inch Grade 1, and the Falcon 19-R 36 inch Grade 1 exit only.
10) Which exit devices work for a door wider than the 36 inch Cal-Royal 5000 covers?
The Cal-Royal 5000 covered here is sized 36 inches. For wider leaves, the Dexter ED1000-R-EO-4FT is a 4 foot Grade 1 rim device, the CRL Jackson 1095 Series is 48 inches, the DORMA 9300 Series is a 48 inch wide stile Grade 1 heavy duty rim device for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Sargent 2828 and 3828 are Grade 1 reversible rim devices for 48 inch doors. Measure the leaf before ordering, since a rim device rail is cut to the door width and cannot be stretched.
11) If access control needs to release the door electrically, what replaces the Cal-Royal 5000?
The Cal-Royal 5000 is a mechanical device with Allen-type key dogging. Where the exit hardware has to tie into an access control system, the Dormakaba E2103 is a 36 inch electrified rim device with 4908A trim in classroom function, the SDC S6136 Spectra is a 36 inch electrified architectural rim device with a 4 inch wide stile for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, the SDC MSB550 is a 36 inch mechanical switch bar that releases an electromagnetic lock, and the Securitron EMB is an electromechanical exit bar for 2-1/4 inch doors. These require power to the door, which a mechanical rim device does not.
12) The Cal-Royal 5000 is a rim device - when is a vertical rod device the right call instead?
A rim device like the Cal-Royal 5000 latches into a strike on the frame or mullion, and the 5000 ships with a 938 strike. A pair of doors with no center mullion needs top and bottom latching instead, which is what a vertical rod device provides: the Hager 4501 Series 36 inch is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device with a wide stile pushpad, and the Hager 4601 Series 36 inch is the narrow stile Grade 1 concealed vertical rod version. The Cal-Royal 5000 does offer a mullion option for double door setups, so the choice is between adding a fixed center mullion and going to vertical rods.
13) What rim exit device suits a door thicker than 1-3/4 inches, which the Cal-Royal 5000 is built for?
The Cal-Royal 5000 is designed for standard 1-3/4 inch thick doors. For a thicker leaf, the Adams Rite 8800 Series 30 inch narrow stile rim device covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, the DORMA 9300 Series 48 inch wide stile Grade 1 device covers the same 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch range, the SDC S6136 covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, and the Securitron EMB is listed at 2-1/4 inch. Confirm the actual leaf thickness with a caliper at the lock edge before committing, since mounting fastener length follows from it.
14) Do I have to order a left hand or right hand Cal-Royal 5000?
Handing is not a factor. The 5000 is non-handed by center hub construction, so one device works on either swing. Order by size and finish only.
15) Can I hold the exit bar retracted so the door stays push-open during business hours?
Yes. The Cal-Royal 5000 comes with Allen key dogging as standard on non-fire-rated versions, which holds the touch bar depressed and the latch retracted so the door pushes free while you are open, then keys back to latching at close. Carry a hex key on the site kit.
16) Does the Cal-Royal 5000 meet code for panic hardware and ADA?
It is listed by UL under Panic Hardware, and the touch bar actuates across roughly two-thirds of the door width, which is what makes it usable by anyone pushing through in an evacuation. Cal-Royal states the series is built for settings requiring ADA compliance. Note it carries no fire rating, so it belongs on egress doors that are not fire door assemblies.
17) I need an electrified exit device for access control. Is the Cal-Royal 5000 the right one?
The 5000 is a mechanical device, dogged by hex key. For an opening tied into card access or a fail-safe release, look at devices built for it: the SDC S6136 Spectra is a 36 inch electrified rim device for a 4 inch wide stile and 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors, the Dormakaba E2103 is a 36 inch electrified rim with 4908A classroom trim, and the SDC PSB560 is a 36 inch pressure sense bar. Those replace the 5000 one for one on a comparable opening but bring the wiring the mechanical device cannot.
18) Should I use a touch bar exit device or a crossbar type on my commercial exit door?
The Cal-Royal 5000 is a touch bar (push pad rail) device. The bar sits flush to the door face, nothing sticks out into the traffic path, and it dogs with a hex key. Crossbar devices, like the CRL Jackson 1095 or the Corbin Russwin ED3200, put a horizontal bar out on arms; some owners keep them for a matched look on older buildings, and a crossbar is easier to grab with a full armload. On new work and retrofits with a 161 prep, the touch bar is the usual pick.
19) What is a lighter-duty alternative to the Cal-Royal 5000 for a low-traffic commercial door?
The Cal-Royal 5000 is a heavy duty device. For an opening that does not see that traffic, the Design Hardware 2000R is a 33 inch standard duty wide stile rim device with hex key dogging, and the Hager 4701 Series 36 inch is a standard duty rim device with Grade 1 BHMA certification. The Design Hardware 1000R 33 inch is the heavy duty version in that same family if the traffic turns out heavier than expected. All three retain hex or Allen style dogging, so daytime hold-back behavior matches what the 5000 does.
20) Is a crossbar panic device the same thing as the Cal-Royal 5000 touch bar?
No. The Cal-Royal 5000 uses a touch bar that operates across two thirds of the door width. Crossbar devices are a different operating style: the CRL Jackson 1095 Series is a 48 inch crossbar rim panic device in wide stile, and the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors. Both are rim devices like the 5000, but the crossbar sits proud of the door face rather than flush against it, so the cover appearance and the push motion do not match a touch bar installation on adjacent doors.
21) Can a dummy exit device be used in place of the Cal-Royal 5000 on the inactive leaf?
Not as an egress device. The Cal-Royal 5000 is UL listed panic hardware with a 3/4 inch stainless steel latch bolt, and it latches. A dummy such as the Detex Advantex 00 Series is a super-heavy-duty wide stile dummy exit device at Grade 1 - it matches the look of a working device but has no latch, so it belongs only where the leaf does not need to latch or provide egress. The Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM is another dummy function device, fire rated wide stile with RX and MELR. Any leaf in the required egress path needs a functional panic device.
22) What should be specified instead of the Cal-Royal 5000 on a door that takes constant abuse, like a school or warehouse exterior?
The Cal-Royal 5000 is rated heavy duty at Grade 2. Where the traffic argues for more, the Detex 10 Advantex Series 36 inch is an extra heavy duty wide stile Grade 1 rim device, and the Detex 40 Advantex Series is the extra heavy duty narrow stile version at Grade 1. The Detex V4003A/03AN is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device supplied with night latch trim if the opening also needs keyed re-entry from outside.
23) Which alternatives to the Cal-Royal 5000 are non-handed, so one part number covers both swings across a building?
The Cal-Royal 5000 uses center hub construction and is non-handed, so a single part number covers either swing. Peers that are also non-handed or reversible include the Von Duprin 22-3FT 36 inch wide stile Grade 1 pushpad device, the BEST Precision 5101 Series non-handed universal rim device, the BEST 2401 Series narrow stile exit only non-handed device, the CRL Jackson 1295 Series non-handed push pad rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Sargent 2828 and 3828 reversible Grade 1 devices for 48 inch doors. For a property manager standardizing stock across a fleet of doors, non-handed is what keeps the shelf count down.
24) Which 36 inch wide stile rim devices are the closest form-for-form match to the Cal-Royal 5000EO36?
Staying with a 36 inch wide stile rim device on hollow metal, the closest peers are the BEST Precision 2101 Series 36 inch wide stile rim device, the TownSteel ED1100 36 inch heavy duty Grade 1 wide stile device, the Imperial USA ED-501 36 inch Grade 1 wide stile rim panic device in exit only, the Orca OED55 36 inch exit only rim device, and the Arrow ED910 36 inch rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors. All share the 36 inch size and the rim latching format of the 5000EO36, so the frame strike location and door prep approach carry across; the grade and duty ratings are where the specs separate.
25) The exterior door needs key entry from outside, not just egress - does the Cal-Royal 5000 cover that or is a night latch device needed?
The Cal-Royal 5000 accepts lever and knob trim rated Grade 2, with an optional clutch freewheeling mechanism, so outside trim is a trim selection on the device. If a night latch function is preferred instead, the Sargent 8504 is a narrow design rim exit device in night latch function at Grade 1, and the Detex V4003A/03AN is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device supplied with night latch trim. Night latch trim retracts the latch by key only, with no lever to leave unlocked.
26) Is a pressure sense bar an equivalent substitute for the Cal-Royal 5000?
No, they solve different problems. The Cal-Royal 5000 is UL listed panic hardware with a mechanical touch bar and a 3/4 inch stainless steel latch bolt that physically secures the door. The SDC SureExit PSB560 is a 36 inch pressure sense bar with tri-failsafe technology for narrow or wide stile doors, and the SDC MSB550 is a 36 inch mechanical switch bar that releases an electromagnetic lock. Those bars signal a release rather than throwing their own latch, so they depend on a separate locking device and on power at the opening.
27) Which alternatives to the Cal-Royal 5000 also come with hex or Allen key dogging for holding the door unlatched during business hours?
The Cal-Royal 5000 is furnished with an Allen-type key for dogging as standard on non-fire-rated versions. Peers with the same arrangement include the Design Hardware 1000R 33 inch heavy duty rim device with hex key dogging, the Design Hardware 2000R 33 inch standard duty version with hex key dogging, and the Stanley Security QED200 Series Grade 1 heavy-duty narrow stile rim device with hex-key dogging. Dogging is a non-fire-rated feature, so a labeled opening will not carry it regardless of brand.
28) For a hospital or clinic corridor door, what alternates to the Cal-Royal 5000 are worth comparing?
The Cal-Royal 5000 is a commercial-rated device offered in Aluminum and Satin Stainless finishes, with an optional anti-microbial coating on the US32D finish under part ANTB-EXIT. If the facility standard calls for Grade 1, comparable 36 inch rim devices include the TownSteel ED1100 heavy duty Grade 1 wide stile, the Von Duprin 22-3FT Grade 1 non-handed wide stile, and the Corbin Russwin ED2200 36 inch Grade 1 wide stile exit only device. On any labeled cross-corridor opening, the fire-rated options apply instead.
29) What finishes does the Cal-Royal 5000 exit device come in?
Two: Aluminum (ALUM) and Satin Stainless (US32D). If you are standardizing a building where the other exits are stainless, take US32D. There is also an anti-microbial coating option on the US32D finish, part ANTB-EXIT, which is worth asking about on healthcare and food service openings where the bar gets touched constantly.
30) Is the Dormakaba QED200 the same device as the Stanley QED200?
They share the QED200 Series designation. The Dormakaba QED200 is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow exit device listed as a 36 inch device with a 7 ft rod, and the Stanley Security QED200 Series is a Grade 1 heavy-duty narrow stile rim device with hex-key dogging. Both are narrow stile Grade 1 heavy duty, unlike the Cal-Royal 5000, which needs a minimum 3-3/4 inch stile. When ordering against a QED200 already installed, confirm which brand label is on the existing device and whether the configuration includes rods.
