CRL Jackson 31-1285-R-3-7-628 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) My door is 40 inches wide. Do I have to order a custom 1285 exit device?
No. The 1285 is stocked in 36 inch and 48 inch widths and the base is made to be cut down for field sizing. Take the 48 inch device and trim it to the leaf. Same for a door between 36 and 48 inches.
2) Can I key the outside of a CRL Jackson 1285 for entry, and what else do I need to order?
The 1285 itself is an exit only device, so there is no outside operation until you add trim. For keyed outside entry you need active outside trim plus the Series 30821J cylinder mounting pad to carry the mortise cylinder. If you instead want a locksmith to be able to hold the pad dogged with a key, order the device with cylinder dogging, and note that the prep comes with it but the cylinder does not: it takes a 1-1/8 inch mortise cylinder, which you source separately.
3) Is handing something I have to specify on the CRL Jackson 1285?
Yes, and it is not field reversible on the order form. The 1285 is built either left hand reverse or right hand reverse, and both handings come in 36 inch and 48 inch sizes, in dark bronze or anodized aluminum. Stand outside the door: if it swings out and the hinges are on your left, that is left hand reverse. If you would rather not hand it at all, the BEST Precision 2601 Series narrow stile concealed vertical rod device is non-handed.
4) What is the closest equivalent to the CRL Jackson 1285 concealed vertical rod exit device for a narrow stile aluminum door?
The CRL Jackson 1285 is a push pad concealed vertical rod panic exit device rated exit only, fitting 1-3/4 inch narrow, medium or wide stile aluminum, wood or hollow metal doors. For a narrow stile aluminum opening specifically, the Adams Rite 8600 Series is a narrow stile concealed vertical rod exit device for aluminum doors carrying a Grade 1 rating, and the Falcon 1690EO is a narrow stile concealed vertical rod device in exit only function for 1-3/4 inch doors. Both cover the same narrow stile aluminum application the 1285 handles, while the 1285 also spans medium and wide stile in one device.
5) The door is thicker than 1-3/4 inches. What concealed vertical rod exit device covers that instead of the CRL Jackson 1285?
The CRL Jackson 1285 is built for 1-3/4 inch doors. For a thicker leaf, the DORMA 9100 Series covers a 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range as a Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile pushpad device, and the DORMA 9600BB Series covers the same 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch range as a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile pushpad device in a 36 inch width, non-fire rated.
6) The CRL Jackson 1285 will not work because the opening needs a fire rated exit device. What concealed vertical rod device should be used instead?
The CRL Jackson 1285 is a panic exit device, which is the non-fire rated classification. For a fire rated opening, the Adams Rite 3600 Series is a fire rated wide stile concealed vertical rod exit device at Grade 1, the Adams Rite 3900 Series is fire rated at Grade 1 with a 1-1/2 hour rating, and the Sargent 12-MD8613 is a fire rated Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod device in classroom function. Fire rated devices omit the dogging feature the 1285 carries, since a fire door latch cannot be held retracted.
7) Can the Von Duprin 7547 be used on a wood door as a substitute for the CRL Jackson 1285?
No. The CRL Jackson 1285 is suitable for aluminum, wood or hollow metal doors at 1-3/4 inch. The Von Duprin 7547 is a 75 Series narrow stile Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors listed as not wood door compatible. For a wood door with a wide stile, the BEST Precision 2701 Series is a wide stile reversible concealed vertical rod device for wood doors.
8) Is there a concealed vertical rod exit device that accepts keyed outside trim rather than being exit only like the CRL Jackson 1285?
The CRL Jackson 1285 is an exit only device; keyed outside entry is added through a Series 30821J cylinder mounting pad with a mortise cylinder. If a device that natively accepts outside trim is preferred, the Corbin Russwin ED4800 is a Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod device listed as exit only and accepts trim for 1-3/4 inch doors, the ED5800 is the wide stile version with the same function and thickness, and the ED7800 is a Grade 1 narrow stile device that accepts operator trim.
9) What concealed vertical rod exit device matches the CRL Jackson 1285 on a wide stile wood or hollow metal door?
The CRL Jackson 1285 covers wide stile wood and hollow metal doors at 1-3/4 inch. Wide stile alternatives include the BEST Precision 2701 Series, a wide stile reversible concealed vertical rod device for wood doors, the BEST Precision 2801 Series wide stile concealed vertical rod device, the Adams Rite 8500 Series wide stile Grade 1 device for hollow metal doors, and the DORMA 9100 Series, a Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile pushpad device covering 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors.
10) Does the Falcon 1491DT work as a substitute for the CRL Jackson 1285?
No. The CRL Jackson 1285 is a panic exit device with a working latching mechanism released by the push pad. The Falcon 1491DT is dummy trim for a narrow stile concealed vertical rod application with a 9970 pull at 42 inches, listed in dummy function. Dummy trim has no latching or exit function and belongs on the inactive leaf of a pair or as a matching pull, not on an opening that requires an exit device.
11) Which concealed vertical rod exit device should be used when the opening has no bottom rod prep?
The CRL Jackson 1285 ships with vertical rods sized to fit doors up to 84 inches tall, running top and bottom. Where a bottom rod is not wanted, the Von Duprin 3347A-EO is a narrow stile Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device in exit only function supplied less bottom rod for 1-3/4 inch doors. That configuration latches at the head only, which changes the strike and threshold prep on the opening.
12) Concealed vertical rod or surface vertical rod exit device: which should I use on an aluminum pair?
Both latch top and bottom, so either secures a pair with no mullion. The difference is where the rods live. The 1285 runs its rods inside the stile, which keeps the door face clean and the hardware out of reach, but the door has to be routed and prepped for it, so it suits new doors or a shop-prepped replacement leaf. The surface vertical rod version of the same CRL Jackson push pad device puts the rods on the face and is the easier retrofit onto a door that was never prepped. A rim device is the third option, but it latches only at the strike jamb, so a pair needs a removable mullion.
13) Can I hold the CRL Jackson 1285 unlocked during business hours?
Yes. Hex key dogging is standard on the 1285, so a maintenance tech can depress the push pad and dog it down with the hex key to leave the door in push-pull all day, then undog at close. Cylinder dogging is available if you want that controlled by a key instead of a hex wrench.
14) What are the closest alternatives to the CRL Jackson 1285 concealed vertical rod exit device?
For a 1-3/4 inch narrow stile aluminum door with exit only function, the Falcon 1690EO and Falcon 24-C are Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod devices in that same thickness, and the Von Duprin 3347A-EO is a Grade 1 narrow stile exit only device supplied less bottom rod, which is worth knowing if the threshold is dirty or the floor is uneven. The Corbin Russwin ED4800 is a Grade 1 narrow stile device that accepts trim, so it is the one to look at if outside key entry is part of the job. What sets the 1285 apart is stile coverage: it is rated for narrow, medium, and wide stile doors, where those alternatives are each built for one stile class.
15) What concealed vertical rod exit device is comparable to the CRL Jackson 1285 for a 36 by 84 metal door with hex dogging and outside lever trim?
The CRL Jackson 1285 uses standard hex key dogging and covers 1-3/4 inch hollow metal doors, with keyed outside entry added through the Series 30821J cylinder mounting pad. The Sargent MD8613F-LTRIM is an 80 Series Grade 1 heavy duty concealed vertical rod device for metal doors at 36 by 84 inches with hex dogging and lever trim supplied with the device.
16) What is the CRL Jackson 1285 push pad actually made of, and will it hold up in a high traffic entrance?
It is a commercial rated build. Base and push pad are extruded aluminum, the mechanical components are stainless and hardened plated steel, and the latch and strikes are sintered steel, with metal end caps rather than plastic. The pad carries a soft touch insert that releases on light pressure anywhere along the bar, which is what you want on a retail or office entrance getting constant use.
17) Will the CRL Jackson 1285 match the dark bronze storefront doors already in my building?
Dark bronze is one of the two finishes the 1285 is offered in, listed as 313 dark bronze, and it pairs with 313 anodized storefront framing. The other choice is 628 anodized aluminum, the clear silver finish. Both finishes are available in 36 inch and 48 inch, left or right hand reverse, so you can standardize the same look across every exit in the building.
