Hager 4501 CVR 36X84 US3 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the minimum stile width for the Hager 4501 CVR exit device?
You need at least 5-3/8 inches of stile on a single door with a standard 5/8 inch stop. The 4501 uses a wide stile pushpad, so anything narrower than that (aluminum storefront doors with 2 to 4 inch stiles, for example) will not take it. On a narrow stile opening you want a narrow stile device instead, such as the TownSteel ED3700 or the Corbin Russwin ED4200.
2) Will the Hager 4501 fit a 2 inch thick door?
Yes. The 4501 is built for 1-3/4 inch (44mm) doors as standard and goes up to 3 inches, with door thickness picked at order time from 1-5/8, 1-3/4, 2, 2-1/2 and 3 inches. The one exception is the night latch function, which tops out at 2-1/2 inches. That thickness range is wider than most rim devices in this class, which are commonly 1-3/4 inch only.
3) What does the Less Bottom Rod option on the Hager 4501 CVR do, and when should I order it?
Less bottom rod deletes the lower rod and bottom latch, so the device latches only at the head. Order LBR where the floor is the problem: uneven thresholds, carpet transitions, or wash-down and food service areas where a bottom strike collects dirt and gets kicked out of adjustment. The 4501 CVR is orderable either way, in both 36 x 84 and 36 x 96 sizes and all seven finishes. Keep the bottom rod if you want two-point latching for security or a tighter door.
4) Will the Hager 4501 latch into my existing strike?
The 4501 uses a dead locking Pullman type stainless steel latchbolt with a 3/4 inch (19mm) throw, and a stainless steel strike with plated rollers ships standard with the device. Unless your existing strike is prepped for that same Pullman latch and throw, plan on installing the strike that comes with it rather than reusing what is in the frame.
5) Does the Hager 4501 come with outside trim, or do I order that separately?
The 4501 as configured is exit only, function 1, meaning there is no outside operating trim in the box. Lever trim with escutcheon is a separate line: Archer, August, Charles, Johnston, Joshua, Louis, Warren, William or Withnell. If the trim will be keyed, the cylinder is a rim cylinder, so order that to match your existing keyway and keying schedule.
6) What is a Grade 1 wide stile rim exit device I can use in place of the Hager 4501 on a 36 inch door?
The Corbin Russwin ED5200 is a Grade 1 rim exit device for a 36 inch wide stile opening, and the Corbin Russwin ED2200 is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device in exit only. The TownSteel ED1100 and the TownSteel ED9700 are both Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile rim devices at 36 inches, and the BEST Precision 2101 is a 36 inch wide stile rim device. The Hager 4501 is Grade 1 with a wide stile pushpad and hex key dogging standard, so any of these keeps the same stile family and 36 inch door width.
7) The opening needs a fire rated exit device. What should I order instead of the Hager 4501?
The Hager 4501 carries a fire rating of No, so a fire rated opening needs a different device. The Marks USA M9900F is fire rated at 36 inches in exit only, with a 48 inch version for wider leaves. The Orca Hardware OED85 is a 36 inch fire rated rim exit device in exit only, the Dexter ED1000 is offered in a Grade 1 fire rated rim version, and the Adams Rite 3700 is a Grade 1 fire rated narrow stile rim device at 30 inches. Match the fire label on the door leaf to the device listing before you order.
8) My door is a narrow stile aluminum storefront. What rim device fits where the Hager 4501 will not?
The Hager 4501 needs a minimum 5-3/8 inch stile, which a narrow stile storefront leaf will not give you. For narrow stile, the Corbin Russwin ED4200 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device at 36 inches, the TownSteel ED3700 and ED8900 are both Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim devices at 36 inches, and the Falcon 19-R is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device at 36 inches in exit only. The Adams Rite 8700 and 8800 are Grade 1 narrow stile rim devices at 30 inches with starwheel interlocking.
9) Which of these exit devices look like a substitute for the Hager 4501 but are not?
A few in the same aisle will not do the same job. The Detex Advantex 00 Series is a dummy exit device in wide stile, so it has no latching function at all. The Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM is also a dummy function device. The Securitron EMB is an electromechanical exit bar, and the SDC MSB550 is a mechanical switch bar that releases an electromagnetic lock rather than throwing a latchbolt. The SDC SureExit PSB560 is a pressure sense bar. The Hager 4501 is an exit only device with a 3/4 inch throw Pullman latchbolt, so none of those replace it mechanically.
10) The door is thicker than 1-3/4 inches. Which exit devices handle that?
The Hager 4501 takes 1-3/4 inch doors as standard and goes up to 3 inches, except with night latch which stops at 2-1/2 inches. Among the peers, the Adams Rite 8800 covers 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches and the DORMA 9300 covers the same 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch range at 48 inches wide stile. The SDC Spectra S6136 covers 1-3/4 to 2 inches, and the Securitron EMB is listed at 2-1/4 inches. Devices such as the Corbin Russwin ED3200, the Falcon 1590EO and the Arrow ED910 are listed at 1-3/4 inches only.
11) What should I use if the door leaf is wider than 36 inches?
The Hager 4501 is set up for a 36 inch door. For a 48 inch leaf, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim device, the DORMA 9300 is a Grade 1 heavy duty 48 inch wide stile device in exit only, and the Cal-Royal A9820 is a 48 inch heavy duty rim device in exit only. The Sargent 2828 and the Sargent 3828 are Grade 1 reversible wide stile rim devices for 48 inch doors, the 3828 with a standard push bar. On the fire rated side, the Marks USA M9900F comes in a 48 inch exit only version.
12) The Hager 4501 is exit only. Which comparable devices accept trim or come with a night latch function?
The Hager 4501 is function 1, exit only, with a rim cylinder keyway. Among the peers, the Corbin Russwin ED5200 and the Corbin Russwin ED4200 are both listed as exit only and accepts trim. The Sargent 8504 is a night latch function narrow stile rim device, and the Detex V4003A/03AN is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device with night latch trim. The Dormakaba E2103 with 4908A trim is a 36 inch electrified rim device in classroom function.
13) I am standardizing a building on one Grade 1 exit device across 36 inch and 48 inch openings. Which lines cover both?
The Dexter ED1000 is a Grade 1 rim exit device offered in a 3 foot and a 4 foot exit only version, plus a Grade 1 fire rated version, which covers a mixed building on one series. The Marks USA M9900 line runs a 36 inch non fire rated exit only device and an M9900F fire rated device at both 36 and 48 inches. The Hager 4501 is Grade 1 at 36 inches with hex key dogging standard, so either of those lines keeps the same grade across the rest of the openings.
14) Can I put a Hager 4501 exit device on a wood door?
Wood and machine screws both ship with the 4501, so it can be mounted to wood or hollow metal. Hager's own note is to use it on appropriately reinforced doors, which on a wood door means blocking or a reinforcing channel behind the pushpad and at the latch. Most rim devices from the other major lines are metal door only, so this is worth knowing if your openings are wood.
15) Is the Hager 4501 exit device Grade 1?
Yes, certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2014 Grade 1, which is the highest durability tier for exit devices and what most commercial and institutional specs call for on a main entrance or stair door. The body is extruded aluminum with a stainless steel pushbar cover and zinc die cast end caps.
16) Is there a lighter duty exit device than the Hager 4501 for a low traffic side door?
The Hager 4501 is a Grade 1 device specified for heavy duty commercial use. If the opening does not need Grade 1, the Cal-Royal 5000 is a Grade 2 chassis on a 36 inch wide rim device with a touch bar, and the Cal-Royal 5500 is a Grade 2 rim device at 48 inches with a push bar. The Design Hardware 2000R is a 33 inch standard duty rim device with hex key dogging, against the Design Hardware 1000R which is the heavy duty version of the same rim family.
17) I need to hang exit devices on wood doors. Does the Hager 4501 family have a peer that is listed for wood?
Most of the rim devices in this class are listed as not wood door compatible, including the Corbin Russwin ED5200, the TownSteel ED9700 and the BEST Precision 2101. The Adams Rite 3700 and 8700 are both listed as wood door compatible in narrow stile, with the 3700 fire rated and the 8700 not. The Hager 4501 notes that it should be used on appropriately reinforced doors.
18) I want a crossbar or paddle instead of a pushpad. What are my options?
The Hager 4501 uses a wide stile pushpad. If the specifier calls for a crossbar, the CRL Jackson 1095 is a 48 inch crossbar rim panic device in wide stile exit only, and the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim device. For a paddle, the CRL Jackson 1095P is the paddle version of the same wide stile rim panic family. The CRL Jackson 1295 is a non-handed push pad wide stile rim panic device at 1-3/4 inch door thickness.
19) Which comparable exit devices are non-handed, so I do not have to confirm the swing before ordering?
The BEST 2401 is a narrow stile rim device in exit only with a non-handed design, and the BEST Precision 5101 is a non-handed universal design rim device. The CRL Jackson 1295 is a non-handed push pad wide stile rim panic device. On the Sargent side, the 2828 and 3828 are both described as reversible Grade 1 rim devices for 48 inch doors. Those are the ones where handing is not an ordering variable.
20) I need extra heavy duty exit hardware for a high abuse opening. What goes beyond the Hager 4501?
The Hager 4501 is Grade 1 rated for heavy duty commercial. The Detex Advantex 10 Series at 36 inches is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device at an extra heavy duty level, and the Detex Advantex 40 Series is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device also at extra heavy duty. Both stay in the Grade 1 band, so the difference is the duty level and, for the 40 Series, the narrow stile body.
21) What finishes and sizes does the Hager 4501 CVR come in?
Seven finishes: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 oil-rubbed satin bronze, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome and 630 satin stainless steel. Each is offered for both 36 x 84 and 36 x 96 door sizes, with or without bottom rod. For a building being standardized, 630 satin stainless is the usual commercial default and 626 the usual match to existing chrome-finish hardware.
