Hager 4501 CVR 48X84 US3 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the minimum stile width for a Hager 4501 exit device?
5-3/8 inches (137mm) is the minimum stile on a single door, based on a standard 5/8 inch (16mm) stop. If you are working an aluminum storefront or any narrow-stile opening with less than that, the 4501 is the wrong device for the door, and you want a narrow stile rim device instead, such as the Corbin Russwin ED4200 or the TownSteel ED3700.
2) What does the less bottom rod option on the Hager 4501 change, and when should I order it?
Ordered with less bottom rod (LBR), the device latches only at the head, leaving the bottom rod and floor strike off. That's what you want where the floor is uneven, where carpet or a threshold fouls a bottom latch, or where a bottom strike would be a trip hazard in traffic. Ordered with the bottom rod, the door latches top and bottom, which is the stronger hold on a pair of doors with no center mullion. Both are orderable in either 48 x 84 inch or 48 x 96 inch size.
3) Will the Hager 4501 latch into the strike I already have on the frame?
The 4501 uses a 3/4 inch (19mm) throw Pullman type latchbolt in stainless steel with automatic dead-latching, and stainless steel strikes with plated rollers come standard with the device. Because the latch and strike are matched at the factory, plan on using the supplied strikes rather than reusing an old one, and the frame will need to be prepped to the Hager template.
4) Does the Hager 4501 meet a Grade 1 spec on the drawing?
It's BHMA certified Grade 1 to ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2014, for heavy duty commercial use. Construction is extruded aluminum body with a stainless steel pushbar cover, die cast caps and covers, and the substrate list is zinc and stainless steel. If your spec also calls for ADA compliance, note that the 4501 is not ADA compliant.
5) The Hager 4501 is exit only. What do I order if I need to get back in from the outside?
Function 1 is exit only, meaning no outside trim, so the door is push-to-exit and blank on the pull side. For keyed or lever entry from outside, add trim: Hager offers Archer, August, Charles, Johnston, Joshua, Louis, Warren, William and Withnell levers with escutcheon. The cylinder is a rim cylinder, so specify that keyway and keying to match the rest of the building.
6) The opening needs a fire label. What rim exit device should be used instead of the Hager 4501?
The Hager 4501 is supplied without a fire rating, so for a labeled opening use a device carried as fire rated: the Marks USA M9900F is a fire rated rim panic device in exit-only form in both 36 inch and 48 inch sizes, the Dexter ED1000 is available as a Grade 1 fire rated rim exit device, and the Orca OED85 is a 36 inch fire rated exit-only rim device. The Adams Rite 3700 is a Grade 1 fire rated version for narrow stile aluminum openings.
7) What is the closest Grade 1 wide stile rim exit device to the Hager 4501 for a 48 inch door?
For a 48 inch wide stile opening, the Sargent 3828 is a Grade 1 exit-only wide stile rim device built for 48 inch doors, and the DORMA 9300 is a Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile rim device in a 48 inch exit-only size with a 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range. The Hager 4501 is Grade 1 under ANSI A156.3-2014 with a wide stile pushpad and covers a wider 1-3/4 inch to 3 inch door thickness, so if the opening runs thicker than 2-1/4 inch the Hager stays in range where the 9300 does not.
8) Is the Hager 4501 the right device for a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
No. The Hager 4501 uses a wide stile pushpad and needs a minimum 5-3/8 inch stile on single doors. For narrow stile aluminum, use a device built for it: the Adams Rite 8800 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device with a 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range, the Corbin Russwin ED4200 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Falcon 19-R is a Grade 1 narrow stile exit-only rim device at 36 inch for 1-3/4 inch doors. TownSteel ED3700 and ED8900 are further Grade 1 narrow stile options.
9) What looks like a substitute for the Hager 4501 but will not work as one?
Three to rule out. The Detex Advantex 00 Series is a dummy exit device with no latching function, so it cannot serve as the panic device on an egress opening. The Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM is also carried in a dummy function. The Dexter ED1500-EXTRD-SP is a 12 inch extension rod assembly for ED1500 devices, a component rather than a device. The Hager 4501 is a functioning exit device with 3/4 inch throw Pullman latchbolts.
10) Which rim exit device gives a night latch function instead of exit only like the Hager 4501?
The Hager 4501 is supplied in function 1, exit only. For keyed outside entry the Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device in night latch function, and the Detex V4003A/03AN is a Grade 1 wide stile rim exit device with night latch trim. On the Hager side, note the door thickness range narrows to 2-1/2 inch when a night latch is used.
11) How much does a concealed vertical rod exit device stick out into a corridor?
The Hager 4501 projects 3 inches (76mm) from the door face in the undogged position. That is the number to check against a corridor clear-width requirement or a door that swings into a tight vestibule. Dogged down, the pushpad sits closer to the door.
12) Can I hold the Hager 4501 unlocked during business hours?
Hex key dogging is standard on the panic rated device, so the pushpad can be held depressed with a hex wrench to leave the door push-pull during open hours and then released at close. Cylinder dogging is available as an option if you would rather the maintenance staff use a key than carry an Allen wrench.
13) Should I use a concealed vertical rod device or a surface rim device on my opening?
Concealed vertical rod, like the Hager 4501, latches at the head and threshold with the rods hidden inside the door, so it holds a pair of doors with no center mullion and keeps a clean face. The trade-off is door prep: the door has to be routed for the rods, so it suits new doors or doors already prepped for CVR. A surface rim device latches into a strike on the frame or mullion instead and is far easier to retrofit onto an existing door; wide stile 48 inch rim options include the Corbin Russwin ED3200 crossbar, the Dormakaba 9300 and the CRL Jackson 1095.
14) What is the closest 48 inch Grade 1 alternative to the Hager 4501 if I need a different brand?
For a 48 inch wide stile Grade 1 device from another line, the Dormakaba 9300 Series exit only device is the nearest match and carries a 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range. The Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim device at 1-3/4 inch thickness, and Sargent's 3828 and 2828 are Grade 1 reversible wide stile rim devices for 48 inch doors. All of those latch into a frame strike rather than top and bottom, so they change the prep, not just the brand. If Grade 2 is acceptable on a lower traffic opening, the Cal-Royal 5500 is a 48 inch heavy duty push bar option.
15) Which rim exit devices can go on a wood door if the Hager 4501 cannot?
Among Grade 1 peers, the Adams Rite 3700 and 8700 narrow stile rim devices are both carried as wood door compatible, the 3700 additionally fire rated. Most of the comparable wide stile devices, including the Corbin Russwin ED5200, the DORMA 9300 and the TownSteel ED9700, are not wood door compatible, so on a wood leaf the Adams Rite units are the ones to price out.
16) The design calls for a crossbar rather than a pushpad. What takes the place of the Hager 4501?
The Hager 4501 is a pushpad device. For a crossbar look, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim exit device, and the CRL Jackson 1095 is a 48 inch crossbar rim panic device in an exit-only wide stile configuration. CRL Jackson also carries the 1095P in a paddle rather than crossbar version if the operation matters more than the bar profile.
17) Which devices step up in duty class above the Hager 4501 for a high-traffic entrance?
The Hager 4501 is Grade 1 rated heavy duty commercial. Detex carries two Grade 1 devices classed extra heavy duty: the Advantex 10 Series in a 36 inch wide stile rim version and the Advantex 40 Series in narrow stile. Both sit in the same Grade 1 certification band but are carried at a higher duty class, which is what an institutional buyer standardizing a school or transit entrance usually wants to see on the submittal.
18) Are there electrified exit bar alternatives to ordering the Hager 4501 with an electric modification?
The Hager 4501 takes electric modifications such as request to exit, latchbolt monitor, delayed egress and motor driven latch retraction as ordered options on the device itself. If the opening is instead held by a separate electromagnetic lock, the SDC MSB550 is a 36 inch mechanical switch bar with electromagnetic lock release and the SDC PSB560 SureExit is a 36 inch pressure sense bar, both fitting narrow or wide stile. The SDC S6136 Spectra is an electrified architectural rim exit device with a 4 inch wide stile and a 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch door thickness range. Note the switch and sense bars release a maglock rather than latching the door themselves.
19) What is a non-handed rim exit device alternative if the Hager 4501 needs to be stocked for both hands?
The BEST Precision 5101 is a non-handed universal design rim exit device, the BEST 2401 is a narrow stile rim device in exit-only non-handed form, and the CRL Jackson 1295 is a non-handed push pad rim panic device for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Sargent 2828 and 3828 are reversible Grade 1 rim devices for 48 inch doors, which gives the same stocking advantage on a wide opening.
20) What finishes does the Hager 4501 come in, and can I match the other doors in the building?
Seven finishes are built: 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. 630 is the usual match for existing stainless or aluminum hardware on a commercial opening, 626 for chrome-plated lever trim. Every finish is available in both the 84 inch and 96 inch height.
21) Which alternatives also come with hex key dogging like the Hager 4501?
Hex key dogging is standard on the Hager 4501 for panic rated devices, with cylinder dogging available as an option. Among the comparable set, the Design Hardware 1000R is a 33 inch heavy duty rim device with hex key dogging and the 2000R is the standard duty version of the same, also with hex key dogging. The Stanley QED200 series is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim device with hex key dogging.
