Hager 4501 SVR 48X84 US26 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I need a mullion to use this on a pair of doors?
No. A surface vertical rod device latches at the head and the sill rather than into a strike on the opposite leaf, so it secures a pair without a center mullion. A rim device on the same pair would need a removable mullion or an overlapping astragal to have something to latch into.
2) What does the less bottom rod option on the Hager 4501 actually change?
Ordering it less bottom rod (LBR) deletes the lower rod and bottom latch, so the device latches only at the head. Crews specify that where a floor strike would be a trip hazard or where the floor is uneven, wet, or carpeted. Take the bottom rod version when you want two latching points for pull resistance. Both configurations are offered on the 48 inch device.
3) Will the Hager 4501 latch into the strike already on my frame?
Plan on using the supplied hardware. The latchbolt is a 3/4 inch throw Pullman type with automatic dead-latching in stainless steel, and stainless steel strikes with plated rollers come standard with the panic device, so the strike geometry matches the bolt. An existing rim or SVR strike from another maker is unlikely to line up with the Pullman bolt.
4) Does the Hager 4501 come with outside trim, or do I add a lever?
The base device is function 1, exit only, so there is no outside operation as shipped. For pull-side entry add one of Hager's levers with escutcheon: Archer, August, Charles, Johnston, Joshua, Louis, Warren, William or Withnell. Cylinder prep is rim.
5) Can I substitute a rim exit device for the Hager 4501 surface vertical rod on a pair of doors?
Not directly. The Hager 4501 SVR is a surface vertical rod device that latches top and bottom into the head and threshold, which is what makes it suitable for pairs without a mullion. Rim devices such as the BEST Precision 2101 36 inch wide stile, the Corbin Russwin ED5200, the TownSteel ED9700 wide stile, or the Detex 10 Advantex 36 inch wide stile all latch into a strike on the frame or mullion instead. On a pair, a rim device requires a removable mullion.
6) What is the closest Grade 1 wide stile alternative to the Hager 4501 for a 48 inch door?
For a 48 inch wide stile opening, the Dormakaba DORMA 9300 Series 48 inch wide stile panic rim exit device is a Grade 1 heavy duty device rated for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Hager 4501 is a Grade 1 wide stile pushpad device at 48 inches with hex key dogging standard. Note the 9300 and ED3200 are rim devices, while the 4501 is a surface vertical rod configuration, so the frame and door prep differ.
7) I need a fire rated exit device for a 48 inch door - what should I use instead of the Hager 4501?
The Hager 4501 is listed with a Fire Rating of No. For a fire rated 48 inch opening, the Marks USA M9900F 48 inch fire rated rim panic exit device is exit only and fire rated. In 36 inch widths, the Marks USA M9900F-36, Orca OED85 Series and Dexter ED1000-R-F-EO are also fire rated Grade 1 or fire rated rim devices.
8) Is the Hager 4501 a Grade 1 device, and is it heavy enough for a school or hospital corridor?
It is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2014 Grade 1 and rated heavy duty commercial. Body is extruded aluminum with a stainless steel pushbar cover and die cast caps and covers, substrate listed as zinc and stainless steel. Hager recommends applying it to appropriately reinforced doors.
9) How much does this exit device stick out from the door face?
Projection is 3 inches (76mm) with the device undogged. Worth checking against a narrow vestibule, a wall the door swings back to, or adjacent door hardware before you set the opening.
10) Can I hold the Hager 4501 unlatched during business hours?
Hex key dogging is standard, so you can depress the pushpad and dog it down with the supplied hex wrench to leave the door push-pull. Cylinder dogging is available as an option if you would rather staff used a key than a wrench.
11) What fasteners come with the Hager 4501, and does it mount to wood doors?
Both wood and machine screws are supplied, so it can go on a hollow metal or a wood door. Hager notes the door should be appropriately reinforced, which on a wood door means a solid core or blocking behind the pushpad and rod mounts. Several comparable rim devices, including the TownSteel ED1100 and Corbin Russwin ED5200, are listed as not wood door compatible.
12) Is there a lighter duty or Grade 2 option instead of the Hager 4501 for a 48 inch door?
Yes. The Cal-Royal 5500 is a 48 inch wide rim exit device with push bar carrying a Grade 2 rating, and the Cal-Royal A9820 is a 48 inch exit only rim device also listed Grade 2 heavy duty. The Hager 4501 is ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2014 Grade 1. If your spec calls out Grade 1 on the drawing, the Cal-Royal units will not satisfy it.
13) What is the difference between the Hager 4501 and a crossbar device like the CRL Jackson 1095 or Corbin Russwin ED3200?
The Hager 4501 uses a wide stile pushpad with a stainless steel pushbar cover. The CRL Jackson 1095 Series 48 inch is a crossbar rim panic device, wide stile, exit only, and the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim device. Crossbar devices project differently from the door face than a pushpad, and CRL also offers the 1095P paddle version and the 1295 non-handed push pad device for 1-3/4 inch doors if you prefer a pad actuator.
14) The Hager 4501 is 48 inches - what Grade 1 devices are available if my door is only 36 inches?
The Hager 4501 at 48 inches is field sizeable down to 36 inches for panic rated applications. If you prefer a device supplied at 36 inches, Grade 1 options include the TownSteel ED1100 heavy duty wide stile, the Corbin Russwin ED2200 wide stile exit only, the Corbin Russwin ED5200 wide stile, the Detex 10 Advantex wide stile, and the Dexter ED1000-R-EO-3FT. Dexter also offers the ED1000-R-EO-4FT for a 4 foot opening.
15) Are the SDC switch bars an alternative to the Hager 4501 exit device?
They serve a different purpose. The SDC MSB550 mechanical switch bar and the SureExit PSB560 pressure sense bar are 36 inch bars that release an electromagnetic lock and fit narrow or wide stile doors; they do not provide the mechanical dead latching bolt the Hager 4501 supplies with its 3/4 inch throw Pullman latch. The Securitron EMB is likewise an electromechanical exit bar, listed for 2-1/4 inch door thickness. If your opening needs a latching panic device rather than a maglock release, those are not substitutes.
16) I need an exit device for a wood door - does the Hager 4501 work, and what else will?
The Hager 4501 ships with both wood and machine screws and is recommended for use on appropriately reinforced doors. Among comparable devices, the Adams Rite 3700 Series fire rated narrow stile and the Adams Rite 8700 Series are listed as wood door compatible, while most other rim devices in the class, including the Corbin Russwin ED5200, TownSteel ED9700 and Dormakaba 9300, are listed as not wood door compatible.
17) What should I order instead of the Hager 4501 if I need a night latch function?
The Hager 4501 is an exit only device function 1, though its door thickness allowance drops to 2-1/2 inch with night latch. For a device supplied in night latch function, the Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device with night latch function, and the Detex V4003A/03AN is a Grade 1 wide stile rim exit device with night latch trim.
18) What finishes does the Hager 4501 48 inch device come in?
Seven: 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. All seven are offered in both the 84 inch and 96 inch door heights and in bottom-rod and less-bottom-rod builds, so you can match existing openings across a building without changing configuration.
19) Which devices match the Hager 4501 if I need hex key dogging as standard?
The Hager 4501 comes with hex key dogging standard on panic rated devices, with cylinder dogging available. Comparable devices that list hex key dogging include the Design Hardware 1000R 33 inch heavy duty rim device, the Design Hardware 2000R 33 inch standard duty wide stile rim device, and the Stanley Security QED200 Series Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim device.
