Corbin Russwin ED5400A-630 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the ED5400A approved for a 3 hour fire door?
Yes. The ED5400A is UL/cUL listed panic and 3-hour fire exit hardware, and complies with NFPA 101 and NFPA 80. It is also California State Fire Marshal approved and carries ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1. On a fire door it is supplied without mechanical dogging, since fire exit hardware must latch on every cycle.
2) Does the ED5400A work on a pair of doors without a mullion?
Yes, that is what a surface vertical rod is for. The ED5400A latches at the head and the threshold rather than into a jamb strike, so a pair of doors can be hung with no center mullion. Top latch is a 3/4 inch throw pullman deadlocking bolt, bottom is a 5/8 inch throw deadbolt.
3) Do I need to specify handing for the ED5400A?
No, the standard device is non-handed and field reversible. Handing only comes into play if you add lever trim or a double cylinder device, which are handed.
4) Will the ED5400A fit a 2 inch thick door?
Standard build is for 1-3/4 inch (44mm) doors. For thicker doors Corbin Russwin offers the D200 option for 2 inch and D214 for 2-1/4 inch; specify it on the order, because the standard chassis and through-bolts are cut for 1-3/4 inch.
5) My aluminum storefront door has a narrow stile. What should I use instead of the ED5400A?
The ED5400A needs a minimum 4-1/2 inch wide stile, so a narrow stile aluminum door calls for a different device. Narrow stile surface vertical rod options include the Von Duprin 3327A-3ft grooved case device for 36 inch doors, the Von Duprin 7527-3ft, the Falcon 19-V-EO in 36 inch, and the TownSteel ED3727 in 36 inch by 84 inch, all Grade 1. If the narrow stile opening is fire rated, the Arrow S1150 in 30 inch is a fire rated surface vertical rod device listed for narrow or wide stile.
6) What is the closest fire rated wide stile surface vertical rod alternative to the Corbin Russwin ED5400A?
The Sargent 2727 is the nearest match: a Grade 1 fire rated surface vertical rod exit device with a wide stile design and an exit only function, and it is reversible like the ED5400A. The TownSteel EF9727 in a 36 inch by 84 inch size is another fire rated Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device, and it is listed as wood door compatible. The ED5400A itself is Grade 1, fire rated, wide stile with a 4-1/2 inch minimum stile, and reversible.
7) My opening is not a fire door. Is there a simpler vertical rod device than the ED5400A?
Yes. For a non-rated wide stile opening the Von Duprin 2227-3FT is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device for 36 inch doors with a 1-3/4 inch door thickness and no fire rating, and the Falcon 20-V in the 36 inch size is a Grade 1 wide stile exit only device, also non-rated. The ED5400A carries a 3 hour fire rating, which is only required when the opening is part of a rated assembly.
8) Which surface vertical rod devices look like a substitute for the ED5400A but are not?
Two to watch. The Sargent 12-8710 is a wide stile fire rated Grade 1 surface vertical rod device, but its function is dummy, so it does not latch or provide egress the way the ED5400A exit only device does. The Adams Rite 8100 Series 30 inch is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device but is life safety rated with no fire rating, so it cannot go on a rated opening; the fire rated counterpart in that line is the Adams Rite 3100 Series 30 inch.
9) What is the Less Bottom Rod option on the ED5400 and when should I use it?
Less bottom rod is ordered as a Yes/No choice. Removing the bottom rod and latch eliminates the floor strike, which cuts the trip hazard and the dirt and ice problems on exterior and high traffic openings. Without it the device latches at the head only, so a bottom-rod-less fire door application must be coordinated with the door and frame label.
10) How much does the ED5400A push bar stick out into the corridor?
Projection is 3-1/4 inches (83mm) in the active position and 2-3/4 inches (70mm) when dogged. Worth checking against corridor clear width and against anything mounted opposite in a tight vestibule.
11) What dogging choices does the ED5400 offer?
Standard is single point 1/4-turn hex key dogging. You can also order M51 for less dogging, or M52 for cylinder dogging supplied less cylinder, so you provide a matching mortise cylinder from your own keyway. Electric dogging is offered on the series as well.
12) Does the ED5400A come with outside trim?
No. The function is exit only but the device accepts trim, so lever trim or a pull is ordered separately from the Corbin Russwin trim range. Levers are free wheeling for vandal resistance, and lever trims and pulls meet ADA.
13) Will the ED5400A latch into the strike already on my frame?
Plan on using the strike supplied with it. The ED5400 ships with a surface-mounted 3/8 inch roller strike with a positive locking plate and shims, and the top latch throws 3/4 inch while the bottom bolt throws 5/8 inch. An existing rim or mortise strike in the jamb is not used by a vertical rod device, since it latches head and sill.
14) Is there a less bottom rod alternative to the ED5400A for a dirty floor track?
The ED5400A can be ordered in a less bottom rod configuration, which removes the floor-level bolt. Among other brands, the Orca Hardware OED56 Series in 36 inch is supplied less bottom rod as a standard duty non-handed exit only vertical rod device in an aluminum finish, though it is not fire rated. Confirm the rated-opening requirement before dropping the bottom rod.
15) What finishes does the ED5400A come in for matching the rest of my building?
Eleven finishes: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 611 bright bronze, 612 satin bronze, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 619 satin nickel, 625 bright chrome, 629 bright stainless, 630 satin stainless, 722 black oxidized bronze oil-rubbed, and BSP black suede powder coat. 630 satin stainless is the usual match for commercial openings.
16) How durable is the ED5000 Series for a high traffic school or hospital corridor?
The chassis is cold-forged steel with electroplated corrosion resistance and the latchbolts are stainless steel, with 1/2 inch O.D. tubular vertical rods. The series was tested to over 3.25 million cycles (the ED5800 concealed vertical rod model carries that certification), against a Grade 1 requirement. It is a commercial-duty device.
17) What other Grade 1 vertical rod exit devices are available besides the ED5400A?
Grade 1 surface vertical rod options include the Dexter ED1000 Series and the Dexter ED1500 Series, the Sargent 3727 with a standard push bar in a wide stile exit only configuration, and the Falcon 25-V-EO in 36 inch for wide stile. The Falcon 24-V-EO in 36 inch is Grade 1 but narrow stile. The ED5400A differs in carrying a 3 hour fire rating and a hex key dogging standard.
