Delaney Hardware 681302 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I need to order left or right hand for the Delaney 8000 rim exit device?
No handing to specify. The 8000 Series is non-handed, so one device covers either swing. That matters if you are stocking spares for a building with doors going both directions.
2) Will the Delaney 8000 latch into the strike I already have on the frame?
The latchbolt is zinc with a 3/4 inch throw and ships with the #8170 steel roller strike cut for a 2-3/4 inch backset. If your frame is prepped for a 2-3/8 inch backset, order the optional #8070 strike instead. Those are the two usual backsets in commercial frames, so check which one the existing strike sits on before you order.
3) What is a Grade 1 rim exit device equivalent to the Delaney 8000 Series for a 36 inch door?
The Accentra 1800 Series 36 inch Grade 1 rim exit device is the closest straight equivalent: both are Grade 1 rim devices sized for a 36 inch door, both are non-fire-rated, and both are for metal rather than wood doors. The Delaney 8000 is non-handed with a 3/4 inch throw zinc latchbolt and ships with a #8170 steel roller strike for 2-3/4 inch backset. The Accentra 1800 is an exit-only device, so if you need keyed trim on the outside, confirm the trim before swapping.
4) Can the Delaney 8000 Series rim device be used on a fire rated door?
No. The Delaney 8000 Series is UL listed to UL 305 as panic hardware and is ANSI 156.3 Grade 1, but it is not fire rated. Among the wide stile Grade 1 rim alternatives, the Accentra 1800 Series, 2100 Series, 6100ED and 6200 Series carry the same non-fire-rated designation, so none of them substitutes on a labeled opening either. A fire exit hardware device is a different specification from panic hardware.
5) Which rim exit device works on a narrow stile aluminum door instead of the Delaney 8000?
The Delaney 8000 Series requires a 4-1/2 inch minimum stile width, which rules out narrow stile aluminum entrances. The Accentra 6200 Series 36 inch Grade 1 rim exit device uses a narrow stile pushpad with a Pullman latch and is the one to specify for that opening. It is exit only and not for wood doors, same as the 8000 in that last respect.
6) I need an exit device with an outside trim function for an apartment or office door - is the Delaney 8000 the right one?
The Delaney 8000 Series is a non-handed Grade 1 rim device listed for offices, schools, hospitals, apartments, hotels and other public buildings, and is furnished with wood and machine screws with sex nuts and bolts optional. If you specifically need a device sold with an office, privacy or apartment function, the Stanley Security QED111ED is a Grade 1 heavy duty rim device carrying that function. The Accentra 1800, 2100, 6100ED and 6200 devices are all exit only.
7) Is the Delaney 8000 rim device rated for a school or hospital corridor door?
It carries an ANSI 156.3 Grade 1 rating, the heavy duty commercial tier, and Delaney lists it for offices, schools, hospitals, apartments, hotels and other public buildings. Grade 1 is the level most institutional specs call for on high traffic egress doors.
8) What mounting hardware comes with the Delaney 8000 exit device, and do I need sex bolts?
Wood and machine screws are furnished standard. Sex nuts and bolts are a separate option, kit #1346, and that is the through-bolt method you want on an abused opening or where the spec calls for through-bolting the device to the door.
9) Should I use a rim exit device or a vertical rod device on my opening?
A rim device like the Delaney 8000 latches into a strike on the frame stop, so it suits a single door in a frame, or one leaf of a pair with a mullion between them. If you have a pair of doors with no mullion, a rim device has nothing to latch into on the swing side and you need a vertical rod device that latches at the head and sill instead.
10) Will the Delaney 8000 device secure a pair of doors on its own?
Not by itself. With a 3/4 inch throw latchbolt catching the #8170 roller strike, the 8000 has to have a fixed point to latch into, which means a frame stop or a mullion. On a pair, plan on a removable mullion and a rim device per leaf, or switch to vertical rod hardware.
11) Does the Delaney 8000 Series rim device have dogging, and what has it if not?
The Delaney 8000 Series specifications cover the chassis, latchbolt, strike and mounting but do not describe a dogging feature. If hold-open dogging is what the opening needs, the Accentra 6100ED is a Grade 1 rim exit device with a wide stile pushpad and hex key dogging, and the Stanley Security QED111ED is a Grade 1 heavy duty rim device with hex dogging plus electrified dogging for access control tie-in.
12) What is the difference between the Accentra 1800 Series and 2100 Series as substitutes for the Delaney 8000?
Both are Grade 1 rim exit devices for 36 inch wide stile doors, both exit only, both non-fire-rated and both for metal doors - they differ by series family, 1800 versus 2100. Against either, the Delaney 8000 Series is non-handed, takes a 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch door as standard with 2-1/4 inch optional, and its bar can be field cut for doors from 33 inch to 36 inch, which matters if your openings are not all a full 36 inches.
13) Will the Delaney 8000 Series or any of the comparable rim devices go on a wood door?
The Delaney 8000 Series is specified for metal doors and covers stock hollow metal doors with a 161 cutout; it is not for wood doors. The Accentra 1800 Series, 2100 Series, 6100ED and 6200 Series carry the same non-wood-door designation. For a wood door opening you need a device specified for wood door application, not one of these.
14) My openings use a 2-3/8 inch backset strike - which exit device suits, and what finishes does the Delaney 8000 come in?
The Delaney 8000 Series ships standard with the #8170 steel roller strike at 2-3/4 inch backset and offers the #8070 strike as an option for 2-3/8 inch backset, so it handles that opening without changing devices. Finishes are US28 Aluminum, 695 Duro Bronze and US19 Black, with the chassis, end cap and rail assembly in painted steel for aluminum and Duro or stainless steel for US32D.
15) What finishes does the Delaney 8000 Series rim device come in?
Three: US28 aluminum, 695 duro bronze, and US19 black. The aluminum and duro finishes are on a painted steel chassis, end cap and rail; a stainless steel assembly is the US32D build. If you are matching existing hardware across a property, US19 black is the one that reads dark against storefront and aluminum doors.
16) Is the Delaney 8000 Series exit device an exit only device or does it take outside trim?
The 8000 as configured is the device itself, non-handed, with a zinc alloy cover and painted steel or stainless rail. If your opening needs keyed entry from the outside, that is a trim decision made separately from the device. The comparable Accentra 1800, 2100, 6100 and 6200 rim devices are all listed as exit only; the Stanley QED111ED is the one in this group with an office/privacy/apartment function.
17) How well does the Delaney 8000 hold up in a high traffic apartment or hotel entry?
The wear parts are specified for it: stainless steel latchbolt spring throughout, a stainless steel guard bolt, and a zinc latchbolt with 3/4 inch throw. The chassis and rail are painted steel on the aluminum and duro finishes, stainless on US32D. Delaney lists apartments and hotel/motel among its applications, and it holds ANSI 156.3 Grade 1.
