Hager 4501 CLB 36 US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Hager 4501 latch into the strike I already have on the frame?
Plan on using the strike that comes with it. The 4501 uses a 3/4 inch (19mm) throw Pullman type latchbolt with automatic dead-latching, and a stainless steel roller strike is included standard with the panic device. Rim strikes are not interchangeable across brands, so if you are swapping out another maker's rim device, mount the Hager strike and expect frame prep at the stop.
2) What comes standard on the Hager 4501 and what do I have to order separately?
Standard: extruded aluminum body, stainless steel pushbar cover, zinc die cast end cap, the roller strike, and hex key dogging. Wood and machine screws are supplied. What you specify: the door thickness, the finish, and, if you want outside access, lever trim. Hager offers Archer, August, Charles, Johnston, Joshua, Louis, Warren, William and Withnell levers with escutcheon. The device itself is function 1, exit only, so nothing operates it from the outside until you add trim.
3) Is the Hager 4501 Grade 1, and does it meet the ANSI spec on my drawings?
Grade 1, certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2014. That is the top commercial grade for exit devices and the one usually called out on institutional and government specs. The 4501 is a heavy duty commercial device, built with an extruded aluminum body, stainless steel pushbar cover and zinc die cast caps.
4) Will a rim exit device fit a wood door if the Hager 4501 will not?
The Hager 4501 is not rated for wood doors. Among rim devices that are, the Adams Rite 8700 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device listed as wood door compatible at 30 inches, and the Adams Rite 3700 is a fire rated Grade 1 narrow stile rim device that is also wood door compatible. Most other rim devices in the wide stile class, including the Corbin Russwin ED5200 and the TownSteel ED1100, are not wood door compatible.
5) Which rim exit device should be used on a fire rated opening rather than the Hager 4501?
Use a device listed for fire, not a panic-only device. The Marks USA M9900F is a fire rated 36 inch rim exit device, exit only, and the Orca Hardware OED85 is a fire rated 36 inch rim exit device. The Dexter ED1000-R-F-EO is a Grade 1 fire rated rim exit device, and the Adams Rite 3700 is a Grade 1 fire rated narrow stile rim device at 30 inches for storefront rails. Fire rated devices come without dogging; the Hager 4501 ships with hex key dogging.
6) Is a pressure sense bar or switch bar a substitute for a rim exit device with a latch?
No. The SDC SureExit PSB560 is a 36 inch pressure sense bar and the SDC MSB550 is a 36 inch mechanical switch bar that releases an electromagnetic lock. Both are egress bars that signal a separate locking device rather than devices that throw their own latch into a strike. The Hager 4501 carries its own 3/4 inch throw Pullman latchbolt with automatic dead-latching and ships with a stainless steel strike. If the opening is secured by a maglock, the SDC bars apply; if the door needs its own latching, they do not.
7) Which rim exit device handles a door thicker than 2 inches?
Thickness ranges are narrower on most rim devices than buyers expect. The Adams Rite 8800 covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch and the Dormakaba 9300 covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. The SDC S6136 covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. The Arrow ED910, Corbin Russwin ED5200 and Falcon 19-R are each set at 1-3/4 inch. The Hager 4501 is ordered by door thickness in 1-5/8, 1-3/4, 2, 2-1/2 and 3 inch, so it reaches thicknesses these peers do not.
8) Is a dummy exit device the same as an exit only rim device?
No. The Detex Advantex 00 Series is a wide stile dummy exit device at Grade 1, and the Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM is listed with a dummy function. A dummy device has no working latch and is fitted on the inactive leaf for appearance and matching. An exit only device such as the Corbin Russwin ED2200, a Grade 1 36 inch wide stile rim device, or the Hager 4501 in its exit only function actually latches and releases the door. Ordering a dummy where egress hardware is required leaves the opening without a functioning panic device.
9) Can I cut down a 36 inch Hager 4501 to fit a narrower door?
Yes, within limits. The 4501 is field sizeable down to 30 inches (762mm) on a panic rated door and 28 inches (711mm) on a fire rated door. Below that you need a different device length. Sizing is done in the field per the Hager installation instructions.
10) How much does a Hager 4501 exit device stick out into the corridor?
3 inches (76mm) projection in the undogged position, dropping to 2-5/8 inches when the pad is dogged down. That is the number to check against corridor clear width and against anything mounted on the push side, like a wall stop or an adjacent door swing.
11) Does the Hager 4501 take a rim cylinder for cylinder dogging or night latch?
Yes, it is a rim cylinder application. Cylinder dogging is available as an option in place of the standard hex key dogging, and any keyed function uses a rim cylinder, so it keys into a rim keyway on your existing system. Keep in mind the night latch function caps door thickness at 2-1/2 inches.
12) Can I dog down the Hager 4501 to hold the door in push-pull during business hours?
Yes. Hex key dogging is standard, so a maintenance tech can hold the pad depressed with the hex wrench and the latch stays retracted, letting the door push open freely. Cylinder dogging is available if you would rather control it with a key than a loose hex wrench. Dogged, the pad projection drops from 3 inches to 2-5/8 inches.
13) What is a lighter duty alternative to a Grade 1 wide stile rim exit device for a low traffic commercial door?
The Cal-Royal 5000 is a 36 inch wide rim exit device with a touch bar on a Grade 2 chassis, and the Cal-Royal 5500 is a 48 inch push bar rim device, also Grade 2. The Design Hardware 2000R is a 33 inch standard duty rim device with hex key dogging. These sit at a lower ANSI grade or duty level than the Hager 4501, which is certified to Grade 1 for heavy duty commercial use, so match the choice to the traffic on the opening.
14) What rim exit device is used on a 48 inch leaf instead of a 36 inch device?
Step up to a device sized for the wider leaf. The Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim exit device for wide stile doors, the Dormakaba 9300 is a Grade 1 heavy duty 48 inch wide stile panic rim device, exit only, and the Marks USA M9900F-48 is a 48 inch fire rated rim device for fire openings. The Sargent 2828 and 3828 are Grade 1 reversible wide stile rim devices for a 48 inch minimum door width. The Hager 4501 covers the 36 inch door size.
15) What is the difference between a crossbar rim exit device and a pushpad device like the Hager 4501?
A crossbar device uses a horizontal bar spanning the door rather than a flat pad. The CRL Jackson 1095 is a 48 inch crossbar rim panic device for wide stile doors, exit only, and the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim device. The CRL Jackson 1095P is the same series in a paddle format, and the 1295 is a non-handed push pad rim device. The Hager 4501 is a wide stile pushpad device. Crossbar and pushpad are not interchangeable in a door prep, so match the format to what the existing device left behind if you are replacing rather than starting fresh.
16) For a school or hospital corridor taking constant traffic, what rim exit device goes beyond Grade 1 heavy duty?
The Detex 10 Advantex is a 36 inch wide stile rim exit device rated extra heavy duty at Grade 1, and the Detex 40 Advantex is the narrow stile equivalent, also extra heavy duty Grade 1. The Detex V4003A is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device with night latch trim if the opening needs keyed re-entry from outside. The Hager 4501 is certified Grade 1 for heavy duty commercial use and takes trim with an escutcheon lever.
17) Which rim exit device provides a night latch function for keyed re-entry?
The Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device in a night latch function, and the Detex V4003A is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device supplied with night latch trim. On the Hager 4501, door thickness with a night latch is limited to 2-1/2 inch rather than the 3 inch the device otherwise reaches, so confirm the leaf thickness before specifying that trim.
18) Which rim exit devices are non-handed so one part number covers both left and right openings?
The BEST Precision 5101 is a rim exit device with a non-handed universal design, the BEST 2401 is a narrow stile rim device that is exit only and non-handed, and the CRL Jackson 1295 is a non-handed push pad rim panic device for wide stile doors. The Sargent 2828 and 3828 are Grade 1 reversible wide stile devices for 48 inch minimum door width. Non-handed stock reduces the number of part numbers a facility has to carry when standardizing across many openings.
19) What finishes does the Hager 4501 exit device come in, and can I match the other doors in my building?
Seven finishes: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, and 630 satin stainless steel. For most commercial buildings the standard is 630 satin stainless or 626 satin chrome, and those are the two that will blend with existing hardware on a typical office or school opening.
