Deltana PDR36 Panic Device Rim 36"

No separate purchase needed. The strike ships with the PDR36. Being a rim device, it latches into that strike mounted on the frame stop at the lock side, so a single door with a normal frame is covered by what comes in the box. A pair of doors with no mullion is a different story, that needs a vertical rod device or a mullion.

Yes. The PDR36 uses Allen-key dogging, so with a hex key you can depress and hold the touch bar down, leaving the latch retracted and the door free swinging for the day. Note that hex dogging is a non fire rated arrangement; on a fire door you need a fire rated device without mechanical dogging, such as the Marks USA M9900F or the Orca OED85 36 inch fire rated rim device.

A rim device like the PDR36 latches sideways into a strike on the frame, which is what you want on a single door, or on one leaf of a pair that has a mullion. If you have a pair of doors with no center mullion, a rim device has nothing to latch into, so you need a vertical rod device that latches at the head and sill, for instance the Hager 4501 concealed vertical rod 36 inch or the Hager 4601 narrow stile version.

Several 36 inch rim exit devices cover the same opening width. The Marks USA M9900 is a 36 inch rim exit device in exit only function, the Orca Hardware OED55 is a 36 inch rim exit device in exit only function, and the TownSteel ED1100 is a 36 inch heavy duty Grade 1 panic rim exit device with a wide stile pushpad. The Deltana PDR36 itself is a 36 inch rim panic device built in cold roll steel with the strike included and Allen-key dogging.

The Deltana PDR36 is supplied with the strike and uses Allen-key dogging. If the opening needs keyed outside access, the Corbin Russwin ED4200 and ED5200 are Grade 1 devices listed as exit only and accepts trim, 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 exit device offered with night latch trim.

For a labeled opening you need a device listed for fire doors. The Orca Hardware OED85 is a 36 inch fire rated rim exit device, the Marks USA M9900F is a 36 inch fire rated rim exit device in exit only function, and the Dexter ED1000 Series is offered in a Grade 1 fire rated rim version. Note that fire rated exit devices are supplied without dogging, so the Allen-key dogging on the Deltana PDR36 will not carry over.

The Deltana PDR36 is catalogued as a rim panic device in a 36 inch length without a narrow stile designation. For narrow stile aluminum doors, devices built specifically for that stile include the Adams Rite 8700 Series 30 inch Grade 1 narrow stile rim device with starwheel interlocking, the Corbin Russwin ED4200 Grade 1 36 inch narrow stile rim device, the Falcon 19-R 36 inch Grade 1 narrow stile exit only device, and the Marks USA M8800 36 inch narrow stile rim device.

Grade 1 rim exit devices at 36 inches include the TownSteel ED1100, the Corbin Russwin ED5200 wide stile and ED4200 narrow stile, the Hager 4701 Series, the Imperial USA ED-501 wide stile, the Detex 10 Advantex Series extra heavy duty wide stile, and the Dexter ED1000 Series 3FT. The Deltana PDR36 is a UL listed commercial rim panic device in cold roll steel with the strike included.

Cold rolled steel chassis and bar, and it is catalogued as commercial grade hardware rather than residential. That suits a back of house exit, a stair door or a rear egress door in a multi family building. For extra heavy duty, high traffic main egress, buyers usually step up to a Grade 1 device like the Detex 10 Advantex 36 inch wide stile or the TownSteel ED1100 36 inch.

No. The Deltana PDR36 is a mechanical rim panic device with Allen-key dogging. If the opening needs access control integration, look instead at the Dormakaba E2103 electrified 36 inch rim device with 4908A trim in classroom function, the SDC S6136 Spectra S6000 Series 36 inch electrified architectural rim exit device with a 4 inch wide stile, the SDC MSB550 Series 36 inch mechanical switch bar with electromagnetic lock release, or the Securitron EMB electromechanical exit bar.

The Deltana PDR36 is built at 36 inches. For wider leaves, the Cal-Royal 5500 is a 48 inch wide rim exit device with push bar, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim device, the Marks USA M9900F-48 is a 48 inch fire rated rim panic device, and the Dexter ED1000 Series is offered in a 4 foot Grade 1 rim version.

The Deltana PDR36 uses Allen-key dogging. Comparable devices with the same dogging style include the Design Hardware 1000R 33 inch heavy duty rim device with hex key dogging, the Design Hardware 2000R 33 inch standard duty wide stile rim device with hex key dogging, and the Stanley Security Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile QED211 rim device with hex-key dogging.

For a crossbar look, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim exit device and the CRL Jackson 1095 Series is a 48 inch crossbar rim panic exit device in exit only function with a wide stile design. For a paddle, the CRL Jackson 1095P Series is a paddle rim panic exit device, exit only, wide stile. The Deltana PDR36 remains the 36 inch rim panic device option in cold roll steel.
