Dexter ED1000 Series - 3FT Grade 1 Rim Exit Device

The 36 inch (3FT) ED1000 rim device covers door widths from 29 inches up to 36 inches, so a 36 inch leaf is right at the top of its range and works. Wider than that, step up to the 48 inch device, which covers 33 inch to 48 inch doors. Door thickness has to be a standard 1-3/4 inches, and the door needs at least a 4-1/4 inch stile for the mechanism case.

No. The ED1000 is not rated for wood door applications, so for a wood leaf you need a different device. The Adams Rite 3700 Series and 8700 Series narrow stile rim devices are the wood-door-compatible rim options to look at instead. The universal hardware pack that ships with the ED1000 is meant for hollow metal openings.

The ED1000-R-EO exit-only device is a panic device, not a fire device. If the opening is a fire rated assembly, you need a labeled fire exit device: the Marks USA M9900F comes in 36 inch and 48 inch fire rated rim versions, the Orca OED85 Series is a 36 inch fire rated rim device, and the Arrow FS1250 is a 32 inch fire rated rim device. Note that fire devices do not have dogging, so you lose the push-and-hold-retracted feature the ED1000 gives you.

Handing is not a factor. Both the ED1000 device and its trim are non-handed, so the same part goes on a left hand or right hand door and one part number covers every opening in a building. That is useful if you are standardizing a property and want a single SKU on the shelf.

Exit only means the device pushes out from the inside and has no outside operation at all, so an outside trim has to be ordered with it. The options are escutcheon levers in classroom, night latch, or passage function, a thumbpiece pull plate in classroom function, or a handle pull plate in night latch function, each in satin chrome (US26D) or oil-rubbed bronze (US10B). Night latch is the usual pick for a back door where a key retracts the latch; classroom lets a lever operate the latch until it is locked off by key; passage gives free entry with no locking.

A 36 inch ED1000 covers 29 inch to 36 inch door sizes, so a 48 inch leaf is outside it. Devices built for that width include the Cal-Royal A9820 at 48 inches exit only, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 crossbar at 48 inches, the DORMA 9300 at 48 inches exit only, the CRL Jackson 1095 crossbar at 48 inches, and the Marks USA M9900F at 48 inches. Sargent 2828 and 3828 are reversible rim devices for a 48 inch minimum door width.

The ED1000-R-EO latches into a strike on the frame at the door edge, which is what a rim device does. Two peers that come up in the same searches do not: the Hager 4501 is a 36 inch Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device with a wide stile pushpad, and the Hager 4601 is the narrow stile concealed vertical rod version. Those latch top and bottom and require rod prep in the door, so they are not a drop in for a rim strike. The Detex Advantex 00 Series is a wide stile dummy exit device, meaning it does not latch at all.

The ED1000 is built for a standard 1-3/4 inch thick door. Where the leaf is thicker, Adams Rite 8800 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device rated 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, the DORMA 9300 covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch in a 48 inch wide stile heavy duty Grade 1 device, and the SDC S6136 covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch in a 36 inch wide stile format. The Securitron EMB exit bar is specified at 2-1/4 inch.

Yes. Hex key dogging is standard on the ED1000 panic device, so you can depress the pushpad and dog it with the hex wrench to keep the latch retracted and the door push-open all day, then undog it at close. Because this is a panic device rather than a fire device, dogging is permitted on it.

It is a Grade 1 UL listed panic device with an aluminum mechanism case, which is the top ANSI/BHMA durability grade and the right specification for a main entrance, school corridor, or any door seeing constant use. Deadlatching is standard, so the latch resists being carded or slipped once the door closes.

A rim device like the ED1000 latches into a surface strike on the frame at the strike jamb, which is the simplest install and the right choice for a single door in a frame, or for the active leaf of a pair with a mullion. It will not work on a pair of doors with no mullion, because there is nothing on the frame edge to latch into. For that opening you want a vertical rod device that latches at the head and sill instead, such as the Hager 4501 Series 36 inch concealed vertical rod device for a wide stile door, or the Hager 4601 for narrow stile.

Several equivalents sit in the same class. The Von Duprin 22-3FT is a 36 inch non-handed Grade 1 wide stile pushpad rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Corbin Russwin ED2200 is a 36 inch Grade 1 exit only wide stile rim device, and the ED5200 is the same size with trim capability. TownSteel ED9700 and ED1100 are 36 inch Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile rim devices. Design Hardware 1000R is a 33 inch heavy duty rim device that also carries hex key dogging like the Dexter.

The ED1000-R-EO is a mechanical exit only device. For an electrified opening, the SDC Spectra S6136 is a 36 inch electrified architectural rim exit device with a 4 inch wide stile for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, the Dormakaba E2103 is a 36 inch electrified rim device supplied with 4908A classroom trim, and the Securitron EMB is an electromechanical exit bar for a 2-1/4 inch door. SDC also offers the MSB550 mechanical switch bar and the PSB560 pressure sense bar in 36 inch, both fitting narrow or wide stile doors.

The ED1000-R-EO is a Grade 1 device. If the opening does not call for Grade 1, the Cal-Royal 5000 is a 36 inch touch bar rim device with a Grade 2 chassis and the Cal-Royal 5500 is the 48 inch Grade 2 push bar version, both heavy duty. Design Hardware 2000R is a standard duty 33 inch rim device with hex key dogging, the same dogging arrangement the ED1000 carries standard, and Hager 4701 is a 36 inch standard duty rim device with Grade 1 BHMA certification.

The ED1000-R-EO is a Grade 1 commercial device with an aluminum mechanism case. Where the traffic is higher than usual, Detex rates the 10 Advantex Series 36 inch wide stile device and the 40 Advantex narrow stile device as extra heavy duty, both Grade 1. Detex V4003A is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device supplied with night latch trim. Dormakaba QED200 and the Stanley QED200 are Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile devices, the Stanley version with hex key dogging like the ED1000.

The ED1000 is a pushpad style rim device. For a crossbar, Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a 48 inch Grade 1 crossbar rim device and the CRL Jackson 1095 is a 48 inch crossbar rim panic device in exit only function. CRL Jackson also builds the 1095P as a paddle rim panic device in wide stile. Cal-Royal 5000 uses a touch bar in a 36 inch width.

The ED1000 handles this through added trim, including classroom and night latch escutcheon levers, thumbpiece pull plates and handle pull plates. If you would rather buy the function in the device, the Sargent 8504 is a narrow stile rim device in night latch function, Detex V4003A is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device with night latch trim, and the Dormakaba E2103 arrives as a 36 inch electrified rim device in classroom function with 4908A trim. Corbin Russwin ED4200 and ED5200 are Grade 1 rim devices in exit only that also accept trim.

Three: 613 oil-rubbed bronze, 626 satin chrome, and 630 satin stainless steel. Satin chrome is the standard commercial match for most existing door hardware; 630 stainless is the pick for exterior or wash-down exposure. Trim and extension rods are offered in US26D (matching 626) and US10B (matching 613), so if you want a 630 device with matching trim, the trim finishes will not line up exactly.

Yes. The ED1000 is specified for an 84 inch door height, which is the standard 7 foot commercial leaf. Mounting height comes off the template, not the door height, so the same device suits a standard 7 foot opening regardless of which of the two device lengths you order.
