Hager 4501 RIM 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 throw Pullman type stainless latchbolt with automatic dead-latching, and a stainless strike with plated rollers is included standard with the panic device. Rim devices latch to a surface applied strike on the frame stop, so unless your existing strike is the matching Hager rim strike, mount the supplied one.
2) What do I have to order separately to add a lever and outside trim to the Hager 4501?
As catalogued the 4501 is function 1, exit only, so the device alone gives you no outside operation. Add trim to get in from the pull side. Hager offers the Archer, August, Charles, Johnston, Joshua, Louis, Warren, William and Withnell levers with escutcheon, and the device takes a rim cylinder, so order the cylinder in your keyway too.
3) Is the Hager 4501 rim exit device Grade 1, and to what standard?
Grade 1, certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2014, which is the exit device standard. Grade 1 is the top of the three grades in that standard and the level normally specified for heavy traffic commercial and institutional openings, so it stands up to a spec calling for Grade 1 panic hardware. Construction backs it up: extruded aluminum body, stainless steel pushbar cover, die cast caps.
4) Which rim exit devices can go on a wood door if the Hager 4501 cannot?
The Hager 4501 is not rated for wood door application. Among comparable rim devices, the Adams Rite 3700 and 8700 narrow stile rim devices are wood door compatible - the 3700 fire rated and the 8700 not fire rated, both Grade 1 with starwheel interlocking. Most other rim devices in this class, including the Adams Rite 8800, are metal door only.
5) I need a fire rated rim exit device instead of the Hager 4501 - what should I order?
The Hager 4501 is a panic device without a fire rating, so for a labeled opening choose a fire rated device instead. The Marks USA M9900F is a fire rated 36 inch rim exit device, exit only; the Orca Hardware OED85 is a fire rated 36 inch rim device; and the Dexter ED1000-R-F is a Grade 1 fire rated rim exit device. For a fire rated narrow stile opening, the Adams Rite 3700 is a Grade 1 fire rated narrow stile rim device that also carries wood door compatibility.
6) The Hager 4501 needs a 5-3/8 inch stile - what rim device works on an aluminum storefront door with a narrow stile?
The Hager 4501 requires a 5-3/8 inch minimum stile, which rules out most storefront framing. For narrow stile aluminum doors, the Adams Rite 8700 and 8800 are Grade 1 narrow stile rim devices with starwheel interlocking, and the Adams Rite EX88 is a Grade 1 interlocking narrow stile rim device. The TownSteel ED3700 and ED8900 are 36 inch Grade 1 narrow stile rim devices, and the Corbin Russwin ED4200 is a 36 inch Grade 1 narrow stile rim device that accepts trim.
7) What is the equivalent of the Hager 4501 for a 48 inch door opening?
The Hager 4501 covered here is the 36 inch size. For a 48 inch leaf, the Dormakaba 9300 is a 48 inch wide stile Grade 1 panic rim device, exit only, listed for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors; the Marks USA M9900F is offered in a 48 inch fire rated exit only version; and the Cal-Royal A9820 is a 48 inch rim exit device, exit only. For a crossbar look at that width, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch wide stile crossbar rim device.
8) Is a pressure sense bar or switch bar the same thing as the Hager 4501 rim exit device?
No. The Hager 4501 is a mechanical rim exit device with a 3/4 inch throw Pullman latchbolt and its own strike, so it latches the door itself. The SDC PSB560 SureExit is a 36 inch pressure sense bar with tri-failsafe technology and the SDC MSB550 is a 36 inch mechanical switch bar that releases an electromagnetic lock - both are bars that signal a separate locking device rather than latching the door. The Securitron EMB is likewise an electromechanical exit bar. Specify those only where a mag lock or electric lock does the securing.
9) What looks like a rim exit device but will not work as a substitute for the Hager 4501?
Two things to watch. The Detex Advantex 00 Series is a wide stile dummy exit device - it has the appearance of an exit device but no latching function, so it cannot serve an egress opening. The Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM is also a dummy function wide stile device, in its case fire rated with RX and motorized latch retraction wiring. The Dexter ED1500-EXTRD-SP is a 12 inch extension rod assembly for ED1500 devices, a component rather than a complete device.
10) What Grade 1 rim exit devices are limited to 1-3/4 inch doors compared with the Hager 4501?
The Hager 4501 covers 1-3/4 inch doors as standard and is offered up to 3 inch thickness. Several comparable rim devices are listed for 1-3/4 inch doors only, including the Corbin Russwin ED5200 Grade 1 36 inch rim device, the Corbin Russwin ED4200 Grade 1 36 inch narrow stile device, the Falcon 19-R 36 inch Grade 1 narrow stile exit only device, and the Arrow ED910 36 inch rim device. Confirm the leaf thickness before substituting if the doors are thicker than 1-3/4 inch.
11) Should I use a rim exit device or a vertical rod device on my opening?
A rim device like the Hager 4501 latches into a strike on the frame stop, so it suits a single door, or one leaf of a pair with a mullion. It is the simplest install and the least to maintain. Where you have a pair of doors with no mullion and cannot add one, a rim device will not secure the opening and you need a vertical rod device that latches at the head and threshold. For a glass or aluminum storefront leaf the deciding factor is stile: the 4501 needs 5-3/8 inches, so a narrow stile device is the answer there.
12) Does the Hager 4501 come as a 36 inch device or do I have to cut it down?
It is supplied as a 48 inch device that is field sizeable, and it is set up for 36 inch doors. Hager states field sizing down to a 30 inch panic rated door and a 28 inch fire rated door, so a 36 inch opening is well inside the range with no special order.
13) How far does the Hager 4501 push bar stick out from the door face?
Projection is 3 inches in the undogged position. That is the number to check against a door in a corridor, against a wall the door swings to, or where the leaf passes another door in a vestibule.
14) Can I put the Hager 4501 on an exterior door in a hurricane zone?
Yes. The 4501 meets the ANSI requirement as a Severe Windstorm Component and is approved for High Velocity Hurricane Zone areas, which is what Florida coastal work asks for on egress hardware. Pair it with the included stainless strike and mount it on a properly reinforced door.
15) What is a comparable 36 inch wide stile Grade 1 rim exit device if the Hager 4501 is not what I want?
Closest like for like in a 36 inch wide stile Grade 1 rim device: the Corbin Russwin ED2200 exit only, the TownSteel ED1100 or ED9700, or the Detex 10 Advantex, which is rated extra heavy duty. The BEST Precision 2101 is another 36 inch wide stile rim device. If you need trim to operate from outside, the Corbin Russwin ED5200 is listed as accepting trim. On a tighter budget the Cal-Royal 5000 is a heavy duty 36 inch rim device with a Grade 2 chassis, so it is a step down in grade rather than a straight swap.
16) What Grade 1 wide stile rim exit device can I standardize on across a facility alongside the Hager 4501?
For a facility standard on wide stile openings, the Grade 1 wide stile rim devices in the same class as the Hager 4501 include the Dormakaba 8300 panic rim device, the Imperial USA ED-501 36 inch rim panic device, exit only, the TownSteel ED9700 36 inch heavy duty Grade 1 device, and the Corbin Russwin ED5200 36 inch Grade 1 device that accepts trim. All four are wide stile Grade 1 like the 4501, which keeps the door prep family and the pushpad format consistent across a building.
17) Is there a lighter duty rim exit device than the Hager 4501 for a low traffic door?
The Hager 4501 is a Grade 1 device built for heavy duty commercial use. Where a Grade 2 chassis is acceptable, the Cal-Royal 5000 is a 36 inch wide rim exit device with a touch bar and a Grade 2 heavy duty chassis, and the Cal-Royal 5500 is a 48 inch Grade 2 rim device with a push bar. The Design Hardware 2000R is a 33 inch standard duty wide stile rim device with hex key dogging, against the 1000R which is the heavy duty version of the same family.
18) Can I use a Detex Advantex device in place of the Hager 4501?
Yes, on a wide stile door of the same width. The Detex 10 Advantex is a 36 inch wide stile Grade 1 extra heavy duty rim exit device, which sits above the Hager 4501's heavy duty commercial application in duty level while sharing the Grade 1 rating and wide stile pushpad format. The Detex 40 Advantex is the narrow stile Grade 1 extra heavy duty version for narrower framing, and the Detex V4003A/03AN is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device with night latch trim if the opening needs keyed reentry.
19) I want a crossbar exit device rather than a pushpad like the Hager 4501 - what are the options?
The Hager 4501 uses a wide stile pushpad with a stainless steel pushbar cover. If the opening calls for a crossbar instead, the CRL Jackson 1095 is a 48 inch crossbar rim panic device, exit only, wide stile, and the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch wide stile crossbar rim device. The CRL Jackson 1095P is the paddle version of that same family for a different actuation.
20) Which rim exit device should I use if the door is not handed or I do not want to stock handed devices?
The Hager 4501 is offered as an exit only device with hex key dogging standard. If non-handed stocking matters, the BEST Precision 5101 is a non-handed universal design rim exit device and the BEST 2401 is a non-handed narrow stile rim device, exit only. The CRL Jackson 1295 is a non-handed push pad rim panic device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Sargent 2828 and 3828 are Grade 1 reversible rim devices for 48 inch minimum door widths.
21) The Hager 4501 takes a rim cylinder - which comparable device gives me a night latch function for keyed reentry?
The Hager 4501 uses a rim cylinder and keyway. For a dedicated night latch function, the Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device in night latch function, and the Detex V4003A/03AN is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device supplied with night latch trim. Pick the wide stile version if the door stile matches what the 4501 was specified for.
22) Is the Stanley QED211 or Dormakaba QED200 a substitute for the Hager 4501?
Both are Grade 1 heavy duty rim exit devices, matching the Hager 4501 on grade and duty level, and the Stanley QED211 also carries hex key dogging like the 4501. The difference is stile: the QED211 and the Dormakaba QED200 are narrow stile devices, so they suit narrower framing than the 5-3/8 inch minimum stile the Hager 4501 requires. The Dormakaba QED200 is described as a 36 inch device with a 7 foot rod.
23) What finishes does the Hager 4501 exit device come in, and can I match the rest of my building hardware?
Eight finishes: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 oil-rubbed satin bronze, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, 630 satin stainless steel, and black. If your other openings are on 626 satin chrome or 630 satin stainless, which is where most commercial buildings sit, the 4501 matches without a special finish order.
24) What screws come with the Hager 4501 and what else do I need to hang it?
Wood and machine screws are supplied, along with the stainless strike with plated rollers and a standard zinc end cap. What is not in the box is anything for outside access: a lever with escutcheon and a rim cylinder are separate, as is any electric option. Install works off Hager's templates for the door and frame prep.
