Hager 4501 RIM 48 US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the minimum stile width for the Hager 4501 rim exit device on an aluminum or hollow metal door?
5-3/8 inches of stile is the minimum on a single door with a standard 5/8 inch stop. If your door has a narrower stile than that, the 4501 push pad will not sit on the face correctly and you want a narrow stile device instead, such as the Adams Rite 8700 Series or the Corbin Russwin ED4200.
2) Will the Hager 4501 exit device work on a 1-3/4 inch metal door, and how thick a door can it go on?
1-3/4 inches is the standard door thickness for the 4501, and it will go up to 3 inches thick. The one exception is the night latch configuration, which tops out at 2-1/2 inches. It is not for wood doors, so on a wood opening pick a different device.
3) Will the Hager 4501 latch into my existing rim strike?
The 4501 uses a 3/4 inch throw Pullman type stainless latchbolt with automatic dead-latching, and a stainless steel strike with plated rollers ships with the device. Plan on installing the supplied strike rather than reusing an old one, since the roller strike is what the Pullman latch is set up to work against.
4) Does the Hager 4501 come with outside trim, or is it exit only?
Exit only as the base device: push the bar to get out, no outside operation. If you need entry from the pull side, add a lever with escutcheon, offered as Archer, August, Charles, Johnston, Joshua, Louis, Warren, William or Withnell. Outside key entry runs through a rim cylinder, which is ordered separately.
5) Can I put the Hager 4501 on a wood door?
No. The 4501 is not rated for wood doors. If your opening is wood, the Adams Rite 3700 Series (fire rated) or the Adams Rite 8700 Series are rim devices listed as wood door compatible.
6) The Hager 4501 is not fire rated - what rim exit device should I use on a fire door instead?
For a labeled fire door, use a device carrying a fire rating rather than the Hager 4501, whose fire rating is No. The Marks USA M9900F is a 48 inch fire rated rim panic exit device, exit only with a panic protector end cap, matching the 48 inch width. In narrower widths, the Marks USA M9900F 36 inch, the Orca Hardware OED85 36 inch, the Dexter ED1000-R-F Grade 1, and the Arrow FS1250 32 inch are all fire rated rim devices. The Adams Rite 3700 is a fire rated Grade 1 narrow stile rim device and is the one in this group listed as wood door compatible.
7) My door does not have the 5-3/8 inch stile the Hager 4501 needs - what narrow stile rim device works instead?
The Hager 4501 requires a 5-3/8 inch minimum stile on a single door with a standard 5/8 inch stop, so an aluminum storefront stile calls for a narrow stile device. Grade 1 narrow stile rim options include the Corbin Russwin ED4200 36 inch, the Falcon 19-R exit only 36 inch, the Falcon 1590EO 42 inch, the TownSteel ED3700 36 inch and ED8900 36 inch, the Detex 40 Advantex extra heavy duty, and the Adams Rite 8800 30 inch. The Adams Rite 8800 lists a door thickness range of 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch.
8) Is the Sargent 12-8810 a drop-in replacement for a Hager 4501 rim exit device?
It is not a functional equivalent. The Hager 4501 is a function 1 exit only rim device. The Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM is a wide stile rim device whose product function is listed as Dummy, and it comes with RX and MELR - it is fire rated Grade 1 wide stile but it does not latch as a working exit only device. The Detex Advantex 00 Series is likewise a dummy exit device with a wide stile design. For a genuine exit only wide stile Grade 1 device, the Corbin Russwin ED2200 36 inch or the TownSteel ED1100 36 inch are the like for like picks.
9) Is an SDC switch bar or pressure sense bar the same thing as a Hager 4501 rim exit device?
No. The Hager 4501 is a mechanical rim exit device with a 3/4 inch throw pullman type dead latching stainless steel latchbolt and a stainless steel roller strike included. The SDC MSB550 is a 36 inch mechanical switch bar that releases an electromagnetic lock, and the SDC PSB560 SureExit is a 36 inch pressure sense bar with tri-failsafe technology; both fit narrow or wide stile doors but they signal a lock to release rather than throwing a latchbolt into a strike. If the opening needs its own latching, the 4501 or another latching rim device is the right part.
10) How much does the Hager 4501 push bar stick out from the door face?
Projection is 3 inches undogged and 2-5/8 inches when dogged down. That number matters where the door swings into a corridor or next to a wall return, and it is what you check against the clear width on your drawing.
11) Does the Hager 4501 exit device have dogging, and can I get cylinder dogging?
Hex key dogging is standard on the 4501, which lets you hold the latch retracted during business hours and free-swing the door. Cylinder dogging is available as an option if you would rather control it with a key than an allen wrench.
12) What grade is the Hager 4501 exit device and is it heavy enough for a school or hospital entrance?
BHMA Grade 1 to ANSI A156.3-2014, which is the top commercial rating and the right spec for high traffic entries in schools, healthcare, retail and municipal buildings. Body is extruded aluminum with a stainless pushbar cover and die cast end caps.
13) Should I use a rim exit device or a vertical rod on a pair of doors?
A rim device like the 4501 latches into a strike on the frame or into a mullion, so on a pair you need a removable mullion between the leaves. If you cannot have a mullion in the opening, a vertical rod device is what you want instead, since it latches at the head and threshold rather than at the jamb.
14) I want a crossbar or paddle rim device rather than the Hager 4501 pushpad - what are my options?
The Hager 4501 uses a wide stile pushpad with a stainless steel pushbar cover. For a crossbar, the CRL Jackson 1095 is a 48 inch crossbar rim panic exit device, exit only wide stile, and the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a 48 inch Grade 1 crossbar rim device, panic device only. For a paddle, the CRL Jackson 1095P is a paddle rim panic exit device, exit only wide stile. The CRL Jackson 1295 is the non-handed push pad version for 1-3/4 inch doors.
15) What is a simpler alternative to the Hager 4501 rim exit device for a lighter traffic opening?
The Hager 4501 is built for heavy duty commercial use at ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2014 Grade 1. Where a lighter chassis suits the opening, the Cal-Royal 5500 is a 48 inch wide rim exit device with a push bar on a Grade 2 chassis, and the Cal-Royal 5000 is the 36 inch touch bar version, also Grade 2. The Design Hardware 2000R is a 33 inch standard duty wide stile rim device with hex key dogging, the same hex key dogging arrangement the 4501 carries as standard on panic rated devices.
16) If I standardize a facility on the Hager 4501 but need a non-handed device for some openings, what should I specify?
For openings where handing is uncertain, the BEST Precision 5101 is a rim exit device with a non-handed universal design, and the BEST 2401 is a non-handed narrow stile rim device, exit only. The Sargent 2828 and Sargent 3828 are Grade 1 reversible wide stile rim devices for 48 inch doors, exit only, which is the same 48 inch width and exit only function the Hager 4501 covers. The CRL Jackson 1295 is a non-handed push pad rim panic device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the standard thickness the 4501 is built for.
17) The Hager 4501 field sizes down to 36 inches - is a device built at 36 inches a better choice?
The Hager 4501 is 48 inches field sizeable down to 36 inches for panic or fire rated doors, so one part number covers a range of door widths. If the opening is fixed at 36 inches, devices supplied at that size include the BEST Precision 2101 36 inch wide stile rim, the Corbin Russwin ED2200 36 inch Grade 1 wide stile exit only, the Detex 10 Advantex 36 inch wide stile extra heavy duty Grade 1, the TownSteel ED9700 36 inch heavy duty Grade 1 wide stile, and the Dexter ED1000-R-EO 3FT Grade 1. The Dexter ED1000-R-EO is also offered as a 4FT device.
18) I need a night latch rim device rather than the exit only Hager 4501 - what is the substitute?
The Hager 4501 is a function 1 exit only device, and its door thickness allowance is 1-3/4 inch standard up to 3 inch except with night latch, which is 2-1/2 inch. If the opening needs outside key access, the Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device with a night latch function, and the Detex V4003A/03AN is a Grade 1 wide stile rim exit device with night latch trim.
19) Which rim exit devices besides the Hager 4501 offer hex key dogging?
Hex key dogging is standard on the Hager 4501 for panic rated devices, with cylinder dogging optional. Among other rim devices, the Design Hardware 1000R is a 33 inch heavy duty rim device with hex key dogging, the Design Hardware 2000R is the 33 inch standard duty version with hex key dogging, and the Stanley Security QED200 is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim device with hex key dogging. The Dormakaba QED200 is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow device supplied as a 36 inch device with a 7 foot rod.
20) For a wide stile Grade 1 rim device that accepts lever trim rather than exit only, what should I look at instead of the Hager 4501?
The Hager 4501 is an exit only device; its trim options are Archer, August, Charles, Johnston, Joshua, Louis, Warren, William or Withnell lever with escutcheon. If you want a device catalogued to accept trim from the outset, the Corbin Russwin ED5200 is a Grade 1 36 inch wide stile rim device with an exit only, accepts trim function, and the Corbin Russwin ED4200 is the Grade 1 narrow stile equivalent with the same exit only, accepts trim function.
21) What Grade 1 rim exit devices compare to the Hager 4501 for a high traffic entrance?
The Hager 4501 is ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2014 Grade 1 for heavy duty commercial applications with an extruded aluminum body and stainless steel pushbar cover. Peers at the same grade for a busy wide stile opening include the Detex 10 Advantex 36 inch, listed extra heavy duty Grade 1 wide stile, the Detex 40 Advantex extra heavy duty Grade 1 narrow stile, the DORMA 8300 Grade 1 wide stile panic rim, and the TownSteel ED1100 36 inch heavy duty Grade 1 wide stile. The Imperial USA ED-501 is a Grade 1 36 inch wide stile rim panic device, exit only.
22) What finishes does the Hager 4501 exit device come in?
Eight finishes: bright brass (605), satin brass (606), satin bronze (612), oil-rubbed satin bronze (613), bright chrome (625), satin chrome (626), satin stainless steel (630), and black. Satin stainless 630 is the usual choice when you are matching existing commercial hardware across a building.
