Dexter ED1000 Series Grade 1 Fire Rated Rim Exit Device

No. The ED1000 rim panic is not rated for wood doors, so on a wood fire door you need a different device. Among fire rated rim devices, the Adams Rite 3700 Series is the one that lists wood door compatibility. The ED1000 does ship with a universal hardware pack covering wood and hollow metal preps, but the product record still lists it as not wood door compatible, so plan it on hollow metal.

Yes. The ED1000 is a UL Listed panic device and a UL Listed 3-hour fire device, ANSI Grade 1. On a fire door the dogging must stay out of use, which is standard for fire rated openings; the hex key dogging on this device is a panic feature, not a fire door one.

No handing to specify. All ED1000 devices and trim are non-handed, so one part covers either swing. That matters for a property manager stocking spares across a building: one device and one trim covers every opening rather than a left and a right on the shelf.

The exit-only device has no outside operation on its own, so you add trim at the time of order. Choices 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, each in satin chrome or oil-rubbed bronze. Pick classroom if you want the outside lever key-controlled, night latch if the key retracts the latch each time, passage if the outside lever should always work.

The Dexter ED1000 needs a 4-1/4 inch minimum stile width and fits a standard 1-3/4 inch thick door, so a narrow stile aluminum storefront is outside what it is built for. For narrow stile openings, the Adams Rite 3700 Series is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device that is also fire rated. Non fire rated narrow stile options include the Adams Rite 8800 Series, Grade 1, with a 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range, and the Falcon 19-R Series, Grade 1 exit only at 1-3/4 inch door thickness.

The Marks USA M9900F is a fire rated rim exit device in exit only function, offered in 36 inch and 48 inch device lengths, which matches the two device sizes the Dexter ED1000-R-F-EO covers. Both carry a fire rating and neither is rated for wood door use. The Dexter ED1000 is a Grade 1 device; the Orca Hardware OED85 is another fire rated rim exit only option at 36 inches if you want a third route on the same opening.

They are not equivalent on the two specs that usually decide a substitution. The Dexter ED1000-R-F-EO is Grade 1 and fire rated. The Cal-Royal A9800 is a 36 inch rim exit device, exit only, listed as Grade 2 heavy duty and not fire rated; the 48 inch Cal-Royal A9820 carries the same Grade 2 and non fire rated specs. On a fire door assembly those are different products, not alternates.

A rim device like the ED1000 latches into a strike on the frame at the lock edge, which is the simplest install and the right pick for a single door or a pair with a center mullion. If you have a pair of doors with no mullion, a rim device has nothing to latch into on the swing side, and you want a vertical rod instead, for example the Hager 4501 Series concealed vertical rod for a wide stile door or the Hager 4601 Series for narrow stile. Neither of those Hager devices is fire rated, so a fire rated pair is a different conversation.

Three direct alternatives in fire rated rim: the Marks USA M9900F in 36 inch, exit only with a panic protector end cap, the Orca Hardware OED85 Series in 36 inch, exit only, and the Arrow FS1250 at 32 inch. All are fire rated rim devices, none rated for wood doors. The Marks M9900F also comes in a 48 inch for wider openings. If fire rating is not required, the field opens up considerably, including the Von Duprin 22 Series wide stile pushpad at 36 inch.

Hex key dogging comes standard on every ED1000 panic device, so you can hold the pushpad down with a hex key and let the door push-pull freely during open hours. On the fire rated openings this device is listed for, dogging is not used. If you want that same feature on a non-fire opening from another brand, the Design Hardware 1000R and the Stanley QED200 both list hex key dogging.

Deadlatching is standard on the ED1000, meaning the latch is blocked from being pushed back once the door closes against the strike, so it resists being carded or shimmed. The mechanism case is aluminum. Grade 1 is the heaviest ANSI/BHMA commercial duty level, which is what you want on a high-traffic entry or a school corridor.

Yes. With a removable or fixed mullion between the leaves, each door gets its own rim device latching into a strike on the mullion, so two ED1000 devices cover the pair. Watch the width rule per leaf: 29 to 36 inches takes the 36 inch device, 33 to 48 inches takes the 48 inch. Without a mullion, a rim device has no strike on the inactive leaf and you need vertical rods instead.

The Dexter ED1000-R-F-EO is a Grade 1 fire rated device. Where the opening carries no fire rating, Grade 1 rim exit only devices include the Corbin Russwin ED2200 at 36 inches wide stile, the Von Duprin 22 Series at 36 inches wide stile non-handed for a 1-3/4 inch door, the TownSteel ED1100 at 36 inches heavy duty wide stile, and the Hager 4701 Series at 36 inches standard duty. All four are Grade 1 and none are listed for wood doors.

The Dexter ED1000-R-F-EO is a rim device, which latches into a strike on the frame at the top of the door. The Hager 4501 Series at 36 inches is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod exit device, and the Hager 4601 Series at 36 inches is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod narrow stile device; both latch through rods routed inside the door rather than into a rim strike. A concealed vertical rod requires a door prepped to receive the rods, so it is not an interchangeable swap for a rim device on an existing opening.

The Dexter ED1000-R-F-EO is a mechanical exit only device with hex key dogging. For openings tied into access control, the SDC MSB550 Series 36 inch mechanical switch bar releases an electromagnetic lock, the SDC SureExit PSB560 Series 36 inch is a pressure sense bar with tri-failsafe technology, and the SDC S6136 Spectra is a 36 inch electrified rim exit device for a 4 inch wide stile and a 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch door. The Dormakaba E2103 with 4908A trim is a 36 inch electrified rim device in classroom function.

The Dexter ED1000-R-F-EO covers 36 inch and 48 inch device lengths. If the facility standard is a crossbar, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim exit device for a 1-3/4 inch door, and the CRL Jackson 1095 Series is a 48 inch crossbar rim panic device in exit only, wide stile. Both are non fire rated, so on a fire door assembly they are not a match for the ED1000.

The Dexter ED1000 48 inch device fits 33 inch to 48 inch door sizes. Other Grade 1 rim exit only devices sized for wide openings include the Sargent 2828, a reversible rim exit device for a 48 inch minimum door width in wide stile, and the Sargent 3828, a reversible standard push bar rim exit device for 48 inch doors, also wide stile. The Dormakaba 9300 Series is a 48 inch Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile panic rim device in exit only for a 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door.

The Dexter ED1000-R-F-EO is a Grade 1 device with an aluminum mechanism case. Where a higher duty class is specified, the Detex 10 Advantex Series 36 inch is a Grade 1 extra heavy duty wide stile rim device and the Detex 40 Advantex Series is a Grade 1 extra heavy duty narrow stile rim device. Both Detex options are non fire rated in the case of the 10 Series, so verify the fire rating requirement on the opening first.

The Dexter ED1000-R-F-EO ships exit only, with outside trim added separately, including escutcheon lever classroom and night latch trims and thumbpiece and handle pull plate trims. If the device itself should come configured for outside function, the Corbin Russwin ED5200 is a Grade 1 36 inch wide stile rim device listed as exit only and accepts trim, the Corbin Russwin ED4200 is the Grade 1 36 inch narrow stile equivalent that accepts trim, and the Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device in night latch function.

No. The Dexter ED1000-R-F-EO is a UL listed panic device with deadlatching standard. The Detex Advantex 00 Series is a Grade 1 super heavy duty dummy exit device in wide stile, meaning it has no latching mechanism and provides the appearance of an exit device rather than panic egress. The Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM is likewise listed in dummy function, though it is fire rated and Grade 1 wide stile.

The Dexter ED1000 has hex key dogging standard on all panic devices. Among other rim devices, the Design Hardware 1000R is a 33 inch heavy duty rim device with hex key dogging, the Design Hardware 2000R is the 33 inch standard duty wide stile version with hex key dogging, and the Stanley Security QED200 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim exit device with hex key dogging. Keep in mind dogging is typically not permitted on a fire rated opening, which is what the ED1000 is listed for.

Two finishes on the device: 626 satin chrome and 613 oil-rubbed bronze. Every trim option and the extension rods come in a matching pair, US26D for satin chrome and US10B for oil-rubbed bronze, so the device, the lever or pull, and the rod all match on the opening.
