Dexter ED1000 Series - 4FT Grade 1 Rim Exit Device

The 48 inch ED1000 rim device fits door widths from 33 inches up to 48 inches. If your opening is narrower than 33 inches, step down to the 36 inch device, which covers 29 inch to 36 inch doors. Sizing to the door rather than the frame is what keeps the pushpad rail from overhanging the stile.

It is built for a standard 1-3/4 inch thick door and needs at least 4-1/4 inches of stile width to mount. That rules it out on narrow stile aluminum storefront, where the lock stile is typically under 2 inches. For those openings look at a narrow stile rim device such as the Adams Rite 8800 Series or the Corbin Russwin ED4200.

No handing to call out. The ED1000 devices and the matching trim are all non-handed, so one part number works on a left or right hand opening. That is useful for a property manager stocking spares, since a single device covers every door in the building.

The base configuration is exit only, meaning push to exit from the inside with no outside operation. Outside trim is a separate selection and the ED1000 line offers escutcheon lever in classroom, night latch and passage functions, plus a thumbpiece pull plate in classroom and a handle pull plate in night latch. Pick one if anyone needs to get back in through that door.

The Dexter ED1000-R-EO is a Grade 1 non-fire-rated rim exit device in the exit only configuration at 48 inch size. The closest direct counterparts are the Sargent 2828, a Grade 1 reversible rim exit device for 48 inch minimum door width in exit only function, and the Corbin Russwin ED3200, a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim device. The Dexter uses a pushpad-style mechanism case with hex key dogging standard, while the Corbin Russwin ED3200 and the Sargent 3828 use crossbar and standard push bar actuation respectively. The Dormakaba 9300A is also a 48 inch Grade 1 wide stile rim device in exit only, rated for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors.

The ED1000-R-EO is carried as a non-fire-rated panic device, so for a labeled opening specify a device catalogued as fire rated. In the 48 inch size, the Marks USA M9900F-48 is a fire rated rim panic exit device in exit only function with a panic protector end cap. At 36 inch, fire rated rim options include the Marks USA M9900F-36 and the Orca Hardware OED85 Series. For narrow stile labeled doors, the Adams Rite 3700 Series is a Grade 1 fire rated narrow stile rim device.

The Dexter ED1000 requires a 4-1/4 inch minimum stile width, which rules out many aluminum storefront profiles. For narrow stile openings, the Adams Rite 8800 Series is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Adams Rite 8700 Series and EX88 are Grade 1 narrow stile rim devices with starwheel interlocking. Other narrow stile Grade 1 options include the Falcon 19-R exit only for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin ED4200, and the TownSteel ED3700.

Hex key dogging is standard on every ED1000 panic device. Depress the pushpad, turn the hex key, and the latch stays retracted so the door pushes free until you undog it. No separate option code and no cylinder dogging kit to buy.

A rim device latches into a strike on the frame at the lock stile, so it suits a single door or a pair with a mullion between them. For a pair with no mullion, where both leaves have to swing clear, you need a vertical rod device that latches at the head and sill, such as the Hager 4501 concealed vertical rod. The rim device is the simpler install and the fewer moving parts of the two.

Grade 1, the heaviest ANSI/BHMA commercial duty level, with an aluminum mechanism case and standard deadlatching. If you are cross shopping 48 inch Grade 1 rim devices, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a crossbar style Grade 1 at 48 inches and the Dormakaba 9300 Series is a 48 inch wide stile pushpad Grade 1. The Cal-Royal A9820 is also a 48 inch rim device but carries a Grade 2 rating.

Yes, that is what the classroom escutcheon lever (ED1000T-CLRM-R-ESC) or the classroom thumbpiece pull plate (ED1000T-CLRM-TP) is for: key control of the outside lever while the inside pushpad always gives free egress. If you only need key entry with no lever, the night latch trim is the cheaper route, and passage trim leaves the outside always open.

The Dexter ED1000-R-EO is a Grade 1 device. If the opening does not require Grade 1, the Cal-Royal 5500 is a 48 inch wide rim exit device with a push bar carried at Grade 2 heavy duty, and the Cal-Royal A9820 is a 48 inch exit only rim device also carried at Grade 2 heavy duty. In 36 inch, the Design Hardware 2000R is a standard duty rim device with hex key dogging, the same dogging method the ED1000 uses.

Both are Grade 1 non-fire-rated wide stile pushpad rim exit devices, and both are non-handed. The Von Duprin 22-3FT covers a 36 inch door at 1-3/4 inch thickness. The Dexter ED1000-R-EO in the 48 inch size fits doors from 33 inch to 48 inch and also mounts on 1-3/4 inch doors, so it reaches wider leaves than the 36 inch 22 series device. Both Dexter's mechanism case and its trim are non-handed, and the ED1000 ships with a universal hardware pack for wood and hollow metal.

Several bars in the same size range are electrified and will not drop in for a mechanical ED1000-R-EO, which is a straight mechanical rim exit device with hex key dogging. The SDC MSB550 Series 36 inch is a mechanical switch bar that releases an electromagnetic lock, and the SDC PSB560 SureExit is a pressure sense bar with tri-failsafe technology - both signal a locking device rather than latching the door themselves. The Securitron EMB is an electromechanical exit bar for 2-1/4 inch doors. The Detex 00 Series is a dummy exit device with no latching function, and the Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM is carried in a dummy function with RX and motorized latch retraction.

The Dexter ED1000-R-EO is carried as not wood door compatible. For wood leaves, the Adams Rite 8700 Series is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device carried as wood door compatible, and the Adams Rite 3700 Series is the Grade 1 fire rated version, also carried as wood door compatible. Both use starwheel interlocking at 30 inch size, a narrow stile format rather than the wide stile pushpad arrangement of the ED1000.

The Dexter ED1000 is a Grade 1 device with an aluminum mechanism case. For openings taking more abuse, the Detex 10 Advantex Series 36 inch is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device carried at extra heavy duty, and the Detex 40 Advantex is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device also at extra heavy duty. Heavy duty Grade 1 alternatives include the Dormakaba QED200 and the Stanley QED200, both narrow stile with hex key dogging like the ED1000, and the TownSteel ED9700 wide stile at 36 inch.

The ED1000-R-EO is a rim device, latching into a strike at the frame or a mullion rather than into the head and sill. If the opening calls for vertical rod latching, the Hager 4501 Series 36 inch is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device with a wide stile pushpad, and the Hager 4601 Series is the Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device in a narrow stile format.

The Dexter ED1000 uses a pushpad mechanism case. For a crossbar look, the CRL Jackson 1095 Series 48 inch is a crossbar rim panic exit device in exit only function with a wide stile design, and the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim device. CRL Jackson also offers the 1095P in a paddle format and the 1295 Series as a non-handed push pad device for 1-3/4 inch doors, matching the ED1000's non-handed design.

Three: 613 oil rubbed bronze, 626 satin chrome, and 630 satin stainless steel. The trim options follow in US26D (satin chrome family) and US10B (oil rubbed bronze family), so you can match the device and the outside lever on the same opening.

A universal hardware pack ships with the device covering both wood and hollow metal door mounting, so you are not chasing a separate fastener kit by door type. Installation instructions and the mounting template are published by the manufacturer for the ED1000 rim panic.
