Codelocks CL-ED-R-48-32D – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the Codelocks CL-ED rim device be mounted on a wood door?
No. The CL-ED is not rated for wood door installation. It is intended for commercial metal openings. If your doors are wood, look for a device specifically listed as wood door compatible.
2) Will the Codelocks CL-ED exit device work with a Codelocks keypad lock for outside entry?
That is what it is built for. The CL-ED rim device is designed to pair with the Codelocks panic device kits: the mechanical CL600PK, and the electronic CL5000PK and CL5500PK. That gives you code-controlled entry from the outside and free egress from the inside, with the control and the device coming from one manufacturer.
3) Can the CL-ED replace an existing panic bar without drilling a new door?
In many cases yes. The CL-ED chassis is drilled with multiple mounting hole patterns so it lines up with the hole locations left by major brands of panic device, and it also offers additional hole positions if you need fresh anchoring into the door. Codelocks lists it for both new installations and retrofits.
4) What is the closest alternative to the Codelocks CL-ED 48 inch rim exit device for a door only 36 inches wide?
For a 36 inch opening, the Tell ED736 is a Grade 1 rim exit device sized to fit 28 inch to 36 inch doors, as is the Tell ED936 from the ED900 series. Both are non-fire-rated rim devices like the Codelocks CL-ED, which is also ANSI Grade 1 and non-fire-rated. The CL-ED is offered in a 36 inch size as well, so if the requirement is Codelocks panic kit compatibility with the CL600, CL5000 or CL5500 kits, stay in the CL-ED family; if that control integration is not needed, the Tell devices cover the same opening width.
5) Which rim exit device should I use on a fire-rated opening instead of the Codelocks CL-ED?
None of the Codelocks CL-ED, Tell ED736 or Tell ED936 is the right choice there. The CL-ED is non-fire-rated, and both Tell rim devices are likewise listed as not fire rated. A fire door requires a labeled fire exit device with no mechanical dogging, so specify a fire-rated rim device rather than any of these three.
6) Is the Codelocks CL-ED a Grade 1 exit device?
Yes, the CL-ED rim exit device is ANSI Grade 1, the heaviest commercial duty classification, so it suits high traffic exits in schools, retail and multi-family back-of-house doors. Note that Grade 1 duty and fire rating are separate things, and this device is non-fire rated.
7) Should I use a rim exit device or a vertical rod device on my exit door?
A rim device like the CL-ED latches into a strike on the frame at the door edge, which is the simplest arrangement for a single door or for 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 vertical rod devices that latch at the head and threshold instead.
8) Do I have to decide on the alarm option when I order the CL-ED exit device?
Yes, the alarm kit function is a required choice at order time on the CL-ED, yes or no. Pick yes if you want a local alarm when the bar is pushed, which is common on unsupervised rear exits and stairwell doors, and no for a plain exit.
9) What is the difference between the Tell ED736 and ED936 if I am cross-shopping against the Codelocks CL-ED?
The two Tell units come from different families: the ED736 belongs to the ED800 series and the ED936 to the ED900 series. Both are Grade 1 rim devices for 28 inch to 36 inch doors with a 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch door thickness range, and neither is fire rated or wood door compatible. Against them, the Codelocks CL-ED is a Grade 1 stainless rim device in a 630 satin stainless steel finish with multiple mounting hole patterns intended to retrofit major brand panic device prep.
10) I need code-controlled access on the exit door - can I just add a keypad to a Tell ED736?
The Codelocks CL-ED is the device built for that job: it is designed to work with the Codelocks CL600 mechanical panic kit and the CL5000 and CL5500 electronic panic kits, putting the control and the device with one source. The Tell ED736 and ED936 are listed as rim devices at Grade 1 with no stated keypad kit pairing, so if coded entry from the outside is the requirement, the CL-ED plus the matching Codelocks kit is the direct path.
11) What finish and material does the Codelocks CL-ED exit device come in?
One finish: 630 satin stainless steel, described by Codelocks as brushed steel. The lock body material is zinc alloy. That finish is the standard commercial look, so it will sit consistently alongside other 630 hardware already on your openings.
12) Can the CL-ED exit device be used on an exterior door?
Yes. Codelocks lists the CL-ED as suitable for both internal and external openings, in stainless steel with a zinc alloy lock body. It is a commercial device, so exterior service doors, rear exits and stairwell discharge doors are typical applications, provided the opening is not fire rated.
