Hager 4501 SVR 36X84 US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the minimum stile width for the Hager 4501 exit device?
The Hager 4501 is a wide stile device and needs at least 5-3/8 inches (137mm) of stile on a single door with a standard 5/8 inch stop. Aluminum storefront doors typically run far narrower than that, so if you are working a narrow stile glass entrance, this is the wrong device. Go to a narrow stile rim device instead, such as the Adams Rite 8700 Series or the TownSteel ED3700, both Grade 1 narrow stile.
2) Will the Hager 4501 SVR work on a pair of doors with no center mullion?
That is what a surface vertical rod device is for. The 4501 SVR latches at the head and at the threshold rather than into a strike on the jamb, so a pair of doors can be secured without a center mullion and both leaves can be active. A rim device like the Corbin Russwin ED2200 latches into a strike at the jamb, which on a pair means you have to add a removable mullion.
3) What does ordering the Hager 4501 less bottom rod actually change?
Less bottom rod (LBR) drops the lower rod and the floor strike, so the device latches only at the head. Buyers pick it where the floor detail will not take a strike, on carpeted or uneven floors, or where the bottom rod would be a trip and damage point in high traffic. Both configurations are built on the 4501, with and without the bottom rod, in every finish offered and in both 84 inch and 96 inch door heights.
4) Will the Hager 4501 latch into the strike I already have?
The 4501 uses a stainless steel Pullman type latchbolt with a 3/4 inch (19mm) throw and automatic dead-latching. A stainless steel strike with plated rollers ships standard with the panic device, so plan on using the supplied strikes rather than trying to reuse the old ones, particularly on the vertical rod top and bottom points where strike location is set by the device template.
5) Is the Hager 4501 Grade 1?
Yes, certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2014 Grade 1, the heavy duty commercial classification for exit devices. Body is extruded aluminum with a stainless steel push bar cover and die cast caps. For a facility standardizing on Grade 1 across openings, the wide stile peers at the same grade include the BEST Precision 2101, the Corbin Russwin ED5200 and the TownSteel ED9700; the Cal-Royal 5000 and 5500 are Grade 2 and would not meet a Grade 1 spec.
6) Is the Hager 4501 wide stile or narrow stile, and what should I use on an aluminum storefront?
Wide stile, with a pushpad and a 5-3/8 inch minimum stile requirement. Hollow metal and wood commercial doors handle that; a typical aluminum storefront stile does not. For glass storefront work, look at a narrow stile rim device: the Adams Rite 8800 Series, the Corbin Russwin ED4200, the Falcon 19-R, or the TownSteel ED8900 are the Grade 1 narrow stile options. Note the Adams Rite 8800 is not wood door compatible, while the Adams Rite 8700 is.
7) What is the closest Grade 1 wide stile rim exit device to the Hager 4501 if Hager is not available?
The Corbin Russwin ED5200 is a Grade 1 wide stile rim exit device in a 36 inch size, and the TownSteel ED9700 is a Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile rim device, also 36 inch. Both match the Hager 4501 on Grade 1 certification and wide stile pushpad format. The Hager 4501 carries a 5-3/8 inch minimum stile requirement for single doors with a standard 5/8 inch stop, so confirm the peer device's stile requirement against the same opening before swapping.
8) Which rim exit device should I use on a fire rated opening instead of the Hager 4501?
Specify a device carried as fire rated. The Marks USA M9900F is a fire rated 36 inch rim exit device, exit only, and the Orca Hardware OED85 is a 36 inch fire rated rim exit device, exit only. The Dexter ED1000 is also offered in a Grade 1 fire rated rim version, and the Adams Rite 3700 is a Grade 1 fire rated narrow stile rim device for openings with a narrow stile. Any of these keeps the 36 inch rim format while carrying the fire rating the opening requires.
9) The door has a narrow aluminum stile that will not take a 5-3/8 inch device. What replaces the Hager 4501?
Move to a narrow stile rim device. 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, exit only, at 36 inches for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Hager 4501 requires a 5-3/8 inch minimum stile on single doors, so on a narrow aluminum stile one of these is the format to specify.
10) Is a rim exit device like the Corbin Russwin ED2200 a direct swap for the Hager 4501 surface vertical rod?
No. The Corbin Russwin ED2200 is a 36 inch Grade 1 wide stile rim device, exit only, and a rim device latches into a strike on the frame at the push bar height. The Hager 4501 is a surface vertical rod device that runs rods to top and bottom latch points on the door. Swapping a rim device onto a door prepped for surface vertical rods changes the latching points and the strike locations entirely, so the frame and door prep have to be reworked.
11) The opening is a wood door. Which exit devices in this class are listed for wood doors?
Most of the commercial rim devices in this class are listed as not wood door compatible, including the Corbin Russwin ED5200, the TownSteel ED9700 and the Detex Advantex 10. The Adams Rite 3700 and 8700 Series narrow stile rim devices are both listed as wood door compatible, with the 3700 fire rated and the 8700 not. Note the Adams Rite 8800 Series, despite sitting beside them in the same narrow stile family, is listed as not wood door compatible.
12) Is an SDC pressure sense bar or switch bar a substitute for the Hager 4501?
No. The SDC PSB560 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 release bars that signal a separate locking device rather than mechanical latching hardware. The Hager 4501 latches the door itself with 3/4 inch throw Pullman type dead-latching latchbolts and ships with stainless steel strikes. If the opening is secured by a maglock, the SDC bars fit that scheme; if the door must latch on its own, they do not replace the 4501.
13) We need a night latch function rather than exit only. What should we look at alongside the Hager 4501?
The Hager 4501 is configured as function 1, exit only device, and its door thickness allowance drops to 2-1/2 inch when a night latch is applied. The Sargent 8504 is a night latch function narrow design rim exit device in Grade 1, and the Detex V4003A/03AN is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device with night latch trim. Night latch adds outside key access to retract the latch, which an exit only device does not provide.
14) How much does the Hager 4501 push bar stick out from the door?
Projection is 3 inches (76mm) in the undogged position. That number matters where the door swings into a corridor with a tight clear width, or where the opening sits beside a wall return, and it is also what you check against a door pull or vestibule wall on the push side.
15) Can I dog down the Hager 4501 so the door stays push-open during business hours?
Hex key dogging is standard on the 4501, so a maintenance person holds the pad down with the supplied hex wrench and the latch stays retracted for the open period. Cylinder dogging is available if you would rather it be a keyed operation that only your keyholders can perform, which is the usual choice for schools and multi-tenant buildings where you do not want staff dogging the door at will.
16) What cylinder do I need for the Hager 4501 exit device?
It takes a rim cylinder, not a mortise cylinder. That is the cylinder type for the keyed trim and for cylinder dogging if you spec it, and it is what lets the device be keyed into an existing rim keyway on your building master.
17) What lever trim can I order with the Hager 4501?
Lever with escutcheon is offered in nine Hager designs: Archer, August, Charles, Johnston, Joshua, Louis, Warren, William and Withnell. The device on its own is exit only, function 1, so if you need people to get back in with a key or a lever from the outside, trim is a separate line on the order, not something that ships with the device.
18) Can the Hager 4501 be cut down to fit a narrower door?
It is field sizeable, so a shorter opening does not mean a different part number. Sizing down is done on site per the Hager templates, and the hardware ships with wood and machine screws for the mounting. On a hollow metal or wood door, plan for the reinforcement Hager calls for, since the device is meant to go on an appropriately reinforced door.
19) I need a 36 inch wide stile device but only on a single door with a jamb strike. Is there a simpler option than the 4501 SVR?
Yes. Vertical rod hardware earns its cost on pairs and on openings with no mullion. On a single door swinging into a frame, a rim device is less hardware to install and less to keep adjusted. At 36 inches wide stile, the BEST Precision 2101, the Corbin Russwin ED2200 exit only, the TownSteel ED1100 and the Detex Advantex 10 Series are all rim devices in that size, with the Corbin, TownSteel and Detex listed Grade 1.
20) What is a lighter duty alternative to the Hager 4501 for a low traffic interior exit 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 wide rim push bar device, also Grade 2. The Design Hardware 2000R is a 33 inch standard duty wide stile rim device with hex key dogging. The Hager 4501 is Grade 1 and specified for heavy duty commercial service, so the step to a Grade 2 or standard duty chassis is a change in certified cycle performance, not just trim.
21) What is a crossbar exit device equivalent if the pushpad style of the Hager 4501 is not wanted?
The Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim exit device, panic device only, for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the CRL Jackson 1095 Series is a 48 inch crossbar rim panic device in wide stile, exit only. The Sargent 3828 is a Grade 1 reversible standard push bar rim device for 48 inch doors. All three are 48 inch wide stile devices against the Hager 4501's wide stile pushpad, so confirm the door leaf width supports a 48 inch device.
22) What other exit devices offer hex key dogging like the Hager 4501?
The Hager 4501 comes with hex key dogging standard on panic rated devices, with cylinder dogging available as an option. Among the peers, the Design Hardware 1000R is a 33 inch heavy duty rim device with hex key dogging, the 2000R is the 33 inch standard duty version with hex key dogging, and the Stanley Security QED200 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim device with hex key dogging. Dogging holds the latch retracted for scheduled open hours, and it is not offered on fire rated devices.
23) Is the Detex Advantex 00 Series a working substitute for the Hager 4501 on an exit door?
No. The Detex Advantex 00 Series is a dummy exit device in a Grade 1 wide stile design, meaning it presents the same bar appearance without a working latch mechanism. It is used on an inactive leaf or where matching appearance is the goal. The Hager 4501 is an operating exit device with Pullman type dead-latching latchbolts, so on any leaf that must actually release for egress the dummy is not an alternative.
24) What finishes does the Hager 4501 exit device come in?
Eight: 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. For a property manager matching existing openings, 630 satin stainless is the usual commercial default and 626 satin chrome the common match for older brushed hardware. All eight are built in both the 84 inch and 96 inch heights and in both the standard and less bottom rod configurations.
25) What extra heavy duty rim device is available above the Hager 4501 for very high traffic openings?
The Detex Advantex 10 Series is a 36 inch wide stile rim exit device rated extra heavy duty and Grade 1, and the Detex 40 Advantex Series is an extra heavy duty Grade 1 narrow stile rim device. The Hager 4501 is Grade 1 specified for heavy duty commercial applications. All three carry the same Grade 1 certification; the extra heavy duty designation on the Detex devices describes the manufacturer's own duty tier above standard heavy duty.
