Cal-Royal F5000EO36-ALUM – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I dog down the push bar on a Cal-Royal F5000 fire rated exit device to keep the door free-swinging during business hours?
Not on a fire labeled device. Cal-Royal furnishes the Allen-type dogging key as standard on non-fire labeled F5000 devices only, because mechanical dogging holds the latch retracted and that defeats the latching a fire door assembly depends on. If you need hold-open behavior on a fire rated opening, that has to come from an electromagnetic hold-open or a door operator, not from dogging the device. If the opening is not fire labeled and you want hex key dogging, the Design Hardware 1000R heavy duty rim device is supplied with hex key dogging.
2) Will the Cal-Royal F5000 rim device latch into the strike that is already on my frame?
Don't count on it. The F5000 has a 3/4 inch throw stainless steel latch bolt and ships with the Cal-Royal 938 surface strike packed in the carton, so it is designed to latch into that strike rather than whatever is on the frame now. A rim device latches into a surface-applied strike on the frame stop, so plan on mounting the 938 that comes with it.
3) How do I use a rim exit device like the Cal-Royal F5000 on a pair of fire doors with no center mullion?
A rim device latches into a strike on the frame or on a mullion, so on a pair with no center post you need a mullion, and Cal-Royal offers one for the F5000. With the mullion in place, both leaves get a rim device and each latches into the mullion. If you would rather not carry a removable mullion through the opening, the alternative is a surface vertical rod device, which latches at the head and the threshold instead. Cal-Royal builds the F5000 Series in both rim and surface vertical rod designs, so the same series covers either approach.
4) My spec calls for a Grade 1 fire rated rim exit device. Is the Cal-Royal F5000 going to pass, and what else do you carry if not?
No. The F5000 is ANSI A156.3 Grade 2 heavy duty, so it will not satisfy a drawing that calls out Grade 1. For a fire rated Grade 1 rim device, the Dexter ED1000 Series fire rated rim exit device is Grade 1, and the Adams Rite 3700 Series is Grade 1, fire rated and narrow stile. Where the spec only requires fire exit hardware without naming a grade, the F5000 is UL Listed for Fire Exit Hardware to 3 hours and carries the (A) label on pairs up to 8'0" x 8'0".
5) What is the closest fire rated 36 inch rim exit device to the Cal-Royal F5000?
The Cal-Royal F5000 is a fire rated 36 inch rim exit device for 1-3/4 inch doors. Two peers match that size and fire rating directly: the Marks USA M9900F-36, a fire rated 36 inch rim exit device in exit only function, and the Orca Hardware OED85, a 36 inch fire rated rim exit device also in exit only function. Both are for hollow metal rather than wood doors, as is the F5000. If the opening calls for a Grade 1 fire rated rim device instead of the F5000's ANSI A156.3 Grade 2, the Dexter ED1000 fire rated rim exit device is Grade 1 and fire rated.
6) Which rim exit devices are Grade 1 instead of Grade 2 for a 36 inch opening?
The Cal-Royal F5000 meets ANSI A156.3 Grade 2 at a heavy duty level. Where a specification calls for Grade 1 on a 36 inch rim device, the Von Duprin 22-3FT is a Grade 1 wide stile pushpad rim device, 36 inch and non-handed, for 1-3/4 inch doors; the Corbin Russwin ED2200 is a Grade 1 36 inch wide stile rim device in exit only; the TownSteel ED1100 is a heavy duty Grade 1 36 inch wide stile panic rim device; and the Hager 4701 is a 36 inch rim device with Grade 1 BHMA certification. All four are listed for hollow metal rather than wood doors.
7) Can a non-fire-rated panic device be substituted for the Cal-Royal F5000?
No. The Cal-Royal F5000 is UL Listed for Fire Exit Hardware up to 3 hours and carries an (A) label rating on pairs of doors up to 8 feet by 8 feet, which is what lets it go on a fire labeled opening. Most rim peers are panic only and list Fire Rating as No, including the Von Duprin 22-3FT, the Corbin Russwin ED2200 and ED5200, the TownSteel ED1100, the Arrow ED910 36 inch, the Marks USA M9900 36 inch and the Orca OED55 36 inch. Any of those suits a panic opening that carries no fire label, but a fire labeled door needs a fire rated device such as the Marks USA M9900F-36 or the Orca OED85.
8) What fire rated rim exit device covers a door wider than 36 inches?
The Cal-Royal F5000 is built at 36 inches for 3 foot by 7 foot single doors and 6 foot by 7 foot double doors. For a wider leaf, the Marks USA M9900F-48 is a 48 inch fire rated rim panic device in exit only function for hollow metal doors. Fire rated device length has to match the door width it is going on, so the 48 inch body is the one to order for the wider opening rather than the 36 inch.
9) What rim exit device works on a wood door if the Cal-Royal F5000 does not?
The Cal-Royal F5000 is not wood door compatible and is covered for stock hollow metal doors with a 161 cut out. Among rim peers, the Adams Rite narrow stile devices are the ones listed as wood door compatible: the 3700 Series 30 inch, which is also fire rated and Grade 1, and the non-fire-rated 8700 Series 30 inch, also Grade 1. For a wood door that carries a fire label, the 3700 Series is the one of those two that is fire rated.
10) What looks like a substitute for the Cal-Royal F5000 but will not latch a door?
Several bars in the same family do not do what the Cal-Royal F5000 does. The F5000 is a mechanical rim exit device with a 3/4 inch throw stainless steel latch bolt and a 938 strike packed standard. By contrast, the Detex Advantex 00 Series is a dummy exit device, and the Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM is listed in dummy function, so neither latches. The SDC MSB550 Series 36 inch is a mechanical switch bar for electromagnetic lock release and the SDC SureExit PSB560 Series 36 inch is a pressure sense bar, which are switching devices for an electrified opening rather than latching rim hardware. If the requirement is a latching mechanical rim device on a fire labeled door, stay with a fire rated latching device.
11) What rim exit device fits a door thicker than 1-3/4 inches?
The Cal-Royal F5000 is specified for 1-3/4 inch thick doors only. 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 panic rim device also covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the SDC Spectra S6136 36 inch electrified wide stile rim device covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. The Securitron EMB electromechanical exit bar is listed at 2-1/4 inch.
12) Do I have to order the Cal-Royal F5000 by hand, left or right?
No handing to specify. The F5000 uses a center hub, non-handed configuration, so one device covers left and right hand openings. For a property manager stocking spares across a building, that means one part number on the shelf instead of two.
13) What trim can I use with the Cal-Royal F5000, and does it come with an outside lever?
The F5000 as modelled F5000EO36-ALUM is exit only, so nothing operates it from the outside as supplied. Cal-Royal lists pull and lever trims for single or double door applications with the standard 938 strike, so if you need outside entry you specify the trim separately. Decide up front: a pull trim gives you a grab handle for a door kept unlocked by other means, a lever trim gives you keyed entry.
14) What are the closest alternatives to a Cal-Royal F5000 36 inch fire rated rim exit device from other brands?
Three land in the same place on size and fire rating. The Marks USA M9900F is a 36 inch fire rated rim device, exit only, with a panic protector end cap. The Orca Hardware OED85 Series is a 36 inch fire rated rim device, exit only. The Arrow FS1250 is fire rated for 1-3/4 inch doors but comes 32 inches, so it suits a narrower leaf. All three are steel-door devices, not wood, same as the F5000.
15) I need an exit device that releases an electric lock or ties into access control. Does the Cal-Royal F5000 do that?
The F5000 is a mechanical rim device, exit only, with a steel chassis and a 3/4 inch latch bolt. Nothing in it is electrified. For a request-to-exit or electric release application you want a device built for it: the SDC Spectra S6136 is a 36 inch electrified architectural rim device with a 4 inch wide stile for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors, the SDC MSB550 is a 36 inch mechanical switch bar with electromagnetic lock release, and the Sargent 12-8810 is a fire rated wide stile rim device with RX and MELR. Note the SDC units are not fire rated, so on a fire labeled opening the Sargent is the one to look at.
16) Which rim device accepts exterior lever or pull trim if the Cal-Royal F5000 is exit only?
The Cal-Royal F5000 is used with standard 938 strike and pull or lever trims on single or double door applications. Peers that state trim acceptance in their function are the Corbin Russwin ED4200, a Grade 1 36 inch narrow stile rim device listed exit only and accepts trim, and the Corbin Russwin ED5200, a Grade 1 36 inch wide stile rim device also listed exit only and accepts trim. For a keyed nightlatch function on the outside, the Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device in night latch function, and the Detex V4003A/03AN is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device with night latch trim.
17) What rim exit device handles heavier traffic than the Cal-Royal F5000?
The Cal-Royal F5000 is a heavy duty device with a steel chassis, heavy gauge painted steel rail assembly and steel end cap. Peers listed at a step above heavy duty are the Detex 40 Advantex Series, an extra heavy duty Grade 1 narrow stile rim device, and the Detex 10 Advantex Series 36 inch, an extra heavy duty Grade 1 wide stile rim device. Both of those list Fire Rating differently from the F5000's fire rated build, so on a fire labeled opening the F5000 or another fire rated device is the one that applies.
18) Can the Cal-Royal F5000 be used where access control needs to release the device electrically?
The Cal-Royal F5000 is a mechanical device whose dogging is by Allen-type key, furnished standard on non-fire labeled devices, so hold-open is manual rather than commanded by a system. For an opening tied to access control, the Dormakaba electrified rim 36 inch device with 4908A trim is listed in 08 classroom function, and the SDC Spectra S6136 is a 36 inch electrified architectural rim device with a 4 inch wide stile. The SDC SureExit PSB560 36 inch pressure sense bar uses tri-failsafe technology for the same kind of electrified opening. Those peers list Fire Rating differently from the F5000, so a fire labeled door still needs a fire rated device.
19) Is there a non-handed rim exit device that can be stocked one way like the Cal-Royal F5000?
The Cal-Royal F5000 uses a center hub, non-handed configuration, so one device covers left and right hand openings. Peers with the same stocking advantage include the Von Duprin 22-3FT, a 36 inch non-handed Grade 1 wide stile pushpad rim device, the BEST 2401 Series narrow stile rim device in exit only and non-handed, the BEST Precision 5101 Series rim device in a non-handed universal design, the CRL Jackson 1295 Series non-handed push pad rim panic device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Sargent 2828 and 3828, both Grade 1 reversible rim devices for 48 inch minimum door width.
20) Is a concealed vertical rod device an alternative to the Cal-Royal F5000?
The Cal-Royal F5000 is a rim device, latching into a surface 938 strike on the frame. Where the design calls for the rods hidden in the door instead, 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 a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device in narrow stile. A concealed vertical rod device needs a door prepped for it, so it is a design choice made before the door is ordered rather than a drop-in swap for a rim device. Both Hager devices list Fire Rating as No, while the F5000 is fire rated.
21) What finishes does the Cal-Royal F5000 36 inch exit device come in?
Two: Aluminum and 630 Satin Stainless Steel. If you are matching existing hardware in a building, 630 is the satin stainless that pairs with most commercial door hardware. One note for healthcare and other high-touch settings: Cal-Royal offers an anti-microbial coating under part number ANTB-EXIT, and it is available on the US32D finish only.
22) Is the Cal-Royal F5000 built well enough for a school or hospital corridor that sees constant traffic?
It is a heavy duty commercial device, not a light-duty one. The chassis is a mounted unit construction in panic and fire grade steel, the rail assembly is heavy gauge painted steel, the end cap is steel and the springs are steel throughout, with a stainless steel latch bolt. Cal-Royal lists it for commercial use only, and typical applications include educational facilities, healthcare, government buildings and warehouses. If your standard is Grade 1 rather than Grade 2, step up to a Grade 1 device.
23) What is the difference between a push bar exit device like the Cal-Royal F5000 and a crossbar panic device?
The F5000 is a 36 inch push bar, a touchpad rail that runs across the door face and retracts the latch when pushed anywhere along it, which is what ADA compliance rests on. A crossbar device instead uses a horizontal bar standing off the door on two brackets, like the CRL Jackson 1095 Series 48 inch crossbar rim device or the Corbin Russwin ED3000 48 inch crossbar. Crossbars are still specified where a building already has them and the look has to match, but they project further into the opening and are harder to keep clean. For new work in the buyer types we serve, push bar is the usual choice.
