Hager 4501 CLB 48 US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can the Hager 4501 48 inch exit device be cut down for a 36 inch door?
Yes. The 48 inch 4501 is field sizeable down to 36 inches, so one device covers openings from 36 up to 48 inches wide. Size it on site to the leaf before mounting rather than ordering a second length.
2) Does the Hager 4501 come with a strike, and will the latch catch in a standard frame?
A stainless steel strike with plated rollers ships standard with panic devices, along with wood and machine screws. The latch is a 3/4 inch throw stainless Pullman type with automatic dead-latching, so use the supplied roller strike rather than trying to catch an existing cylindrical lock strike.
3) The Hager 4501 MRT needs 5-3/8 inch stile. What rim device works on a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
For a narrow stile storefront, look at the Adams Rite 8800 Series 30" narrow stile rim exit device with starwheel interlocking, a Grade 1 narrow stile device rated for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, or the Corbin Russwin ED4200 Grade 1 36" narrow stile rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors. TownSteel ED3700 and ED8900 are also Grade 1 narrow stile rim devices at 36 inches. The Hager 4501 MRT requires a 5-3/8 inch minimum stile on single doors, so it is not the choice for a narrow stile section.
4) I need a panic device on a 48-inch door but the opening is fire rated. What should I use instead of the Hager 4501 MRT?
Use a listed fire exit device such as the Marks USA M9900F 48" fire rated rim panic exit device, exit only with panic protector end cap, which carries a fire rating in its specs. Other fire-rated rim options are the Dexter ED1000 Series fire rated Grade 1 rim device and the Orca OED85 Series 36" fire rated rim device. Fire exit hardware is supplied without dogging, whereas the Hager 4501 comes with hex key dogging standard.
5) How much does a Hager 4501 push bar stick out from the door face?
Projection is 3 inches from the door in the undogged position and 2-5/8 inches when dogged down. That matters where the door swings into a corridor or past adjacent hardware, so check your clear width before mounting.
6) How do you hold the Hager 4501 push bar in the retracted position for business hours?
Hex key dogging is standard, so a maintenance tech can dog the pad down with the supplied hex wrench and leave the door on free push. Cylinder dogging is an option if you want it key controlled; that takes a 3902 1-1/8 inch mortise cylinder, sold separately.
7) What keying does the Hager 4501 take, and what lever trim is available?
Cylinder prep is rim, so a rim cylinder is what you order for keyed functions. Lever trim with escutcheon is offered in the Archer, August, Charles, Johnston, Joshua, Louis, Warren, William and Withnell designs. The device itself is supplied exit only, function 1, so trim is a separate line on the order.
8) I need a 48 inch wide stile rim device, what are my options besides Hager?
For a 48 inch opening, comparable wide stile rim devices include the Dormakaba 9300 Series 48 inch exit only device (1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors), the Corbin Russwin ED3200 crossbar device at 48 inches, the CRL Jackson 1095 Series 48 inch crossbar, and the Sargent 2828 and 3828, both built for a 48 inch minimum door width. Crossbar devices like the ED3200 and 1095 have a different look and feel from a pushpad, which is worth knowing if you are matching other openings in the building.
9) Is a crossbar device like the Corbin Russwin ED3200 the same thing as the Hager 4501 MRT?
No. The Corbin Russwin ED3000 Series 48" is a crossbar rim exit device and the CRL Jackson 1095 Series 48" is also a crossbar rim panic device, both wide stile. The Hager 4501 MRT is a wide stile pushpad device, so the actuator style and the door face appearance differ even though both are 48 inch rim devices. If you are matching existing hardware across a building, match pushpad to pushpad - the CRL Jackson 1295 Series is a non-handed push pad rim panic device if you want that style from another brand.
10) I need a night latch function rather than the exit-only Hager 4501 MRT. What are my options?
The Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 narrow design rim exit device with a night latch function, and the Detex V4003A/03AN wide stile Grade 1 rim device is supplied with night latch trim. The Hager 4501 MRT is an exit only device, though it is prepped for a rim cylinder and accepts Hager lever trim with escutcheon if you want outside access.
11) What finishes does the Hager 4501 exit device come in, and will it match existing hardware?
Seven finishes are offered: 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 a building standardizing on stainless trim, 630 is the usual match; 626 pairs with most satin chrome lever hardware.
12) Which 48-inch rim devices are reversible or non-handed compared with the Hager 4501 MRT?
The Sargent 2828 and Sargent 3828 are Grade 1 reversible wide stile rim exit devices intended for 48 inch minimum door width, the 3828 with a standard push bar. BEST Precision 5101 and 2401 are non-handed rim devices as well, though at other sizes. The Hager 4501 MRT is a 48 inch wide stile pushpad device field sizeable down for narrower panic and fire rated openings.
