Hager 4501 CVR F 36X84 US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Hager 4501 exit device work on a 3 inch thick door?
Door thickness on the 4501 runs from the 1-3/4 inch commercial standard up to 3 inches, with one exception: order the night latch function and the ceiling drops to 2-1/2 inches. Thickness is a required choice at order time, and the selectable steps are 1-5/8, 1-3/4, 2, 2-1/2 and 3 inches, so measure the leaf before you specify rather than assuming the default.
2) What is the minimum stile width for the Hager 4501 exit device?
5-3/8 inches is the minimum stile on a single door, figured against a standard 5/8 inch stop. That makes it a wide stile device: if you are working an aluminum storefront leaf with a 2 to 4 inch stile, it will not fit and you want a narrow stile device instead, such as the Corbin Russwin ED4200 or the TownSteel ED8900.
3) Will the Hager 4501 latch into the strike I already have on the frame?
Plan on using the strike that ships with it. The 4501 uses a dead locking stainless steel Pullman type latchbolt with a 3/4 inch throw, and a stainless strike with plated rollers is included standard with the panic device. A 3/4 inch Pullman needs a strike cut for that specific latch geometry, so reusing an old strike from a different brand is where these installs go wrong.
4) What cylinder and lever trim do I need to order with the Hager 4501?
The 4501 is an exit only device, function 1, so the outside is blank unless you add trim. Keying is rim cylinder, which is what a locksmith will want to know before pulling stock. Lever trim with escutcheon is offered in the Archer, August, Charles, Johnston, Joshua, Louis, Warren, William and Withnell designs. Fasteners in the box are wood and machine screws.
5) What is the closest fire-rated Grade 1 wide stile rim exit device to the Hager 4501 from another manufacturer?
The Dexter ED1000 Series fire rated rim exit device (DEX-ED1000-R-F-EO) is the nearest match: it is Grade 1 and fire rated, the same two attributes that define the Hager 4501, which is Grade 1 with a fire rating. The Sargent 8800 Series 12-8810-LTRIM is also Grade 1, fire rated and wide stile, though it is supplied as a dummy function device with RX and MELR rather than a mechanical exit-only device. On a wide stile aluminum or hollow metal opening where the 4501 was specified, the Dexter ED1000 fire rated is the straight functional stand-in.
6) Which fire-rated rim exit devices come in a 36 inch size like the Hager 4501?
Three fire-rated peers are catalogued at 36 inches: the Marks USA M9900F 36 inch exit-only rim device with panic protector end cap, the Orca Hardware OED85 Series 36 inch fire rated rim device, exit only, and the Adams Rite 3700 Series, which is fire rated and Grade 1 but built at 30 inches on a narrow stile. For a 48 inch leaf the Marks USA M9900F-48 covers the same fire-rated exit-only function. The Hager 4501 is a 36 inch device.
7) The Hager 4501 needs 5-3/8 inch stile - what rim exit device fits a narrow stile aluminum storefront instead?
The Hager 4501 requires a minimum stile width of 5-3/8 inches, so a narrow stile aluminum door needs a different device. Narrow stile Grade 1 options include the Falcon 19-R Series 36 inch exit only, the TownSteel ED3700 and ED8900 36 inch heavy duty devices, the Corbin Russwin ED4200 36 inch, and the Detex 40 Advantex extra heavy duty. If the narrow stile opening is also fire rated, the Adams Rite 3700 Series 30 inch is Grade 1, narrow stile and fire rated, and it is listed as wood door compatible.
8) Is a Cal-Royal 5000 or A9800 an equivalent substitute for the Hager 4501?
They are not equivalent. The Cal-Royal 5000 36 inch touch bar rim device and the A9800 Series 36 inch exit only are both catalogued as Grade 2 heavy duty with a fire rating of No. The Hager 4501 is Grade 1 with a fire rating, so on a labeled opening or one where the drawing calls for ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1, the Cal-Royal devices do not meet the same criteria. Where the spec is Grade 1 wide stile without a label, the TownSteel ED9700 36 inch heavy duty is Grade 1.
9) Can I use an SDC switch bar or pressure sense bar in place of the Hager 4501?
No, they solve a different problem. The SDC MSB550 Series 36 inch is a mechanical switch bar that releases an electromagnetic lock, and the SDC SureExit PSB560 Series 36 inch is a pressure sense bar with tri-failsafe technology; both are listed with a fire rating of No. Neither latches the door the way the Hager 4501 does with its 3/4 inch throw Pullman type dead-latching latchbolt, and neither carries the 4501 fire rating. Use the SDC bars where the securing is done by a maglock; use the 4501 where the device itself must latch a labeled door.
10) The Hager 4501 takes doors up to 3 inches thick - do the alternatives handle a thick door?
The Hager 4501 accommodates door thickness from 1-3/4 inches standard up to 3 inches, except with night latch which is 2-1/2 inches, and it is ordered with a door thickness selection of 1-5/8, 1-3/4, 2, 2-1/2 or 3 inches. Most peers are catalogued to a narrower range: the Adams Rite 8800 Series and the DORMA 9300 Series both list 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, the SDC S6136 lists 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, and the Corbin Russwin ED5200, Falcon 19-R and Arrow ED910 are each listed at 1-3/4 inch. For an oversize or lead-lined leaf, the 4501 covers thicknesses the others do not reach.
11) Which alternative works for a 48 inch door leaf if the Hager 4501 is sized for 36 inch?
The Hager 4501 is a 36 inch device, field sizeable down for narrower leaves. For a 48 inch leaf, the Marks USA M9900F-48 is fire rated and exit only, matching the fire rating of the 4501. Non-rated 48 inch options include the Dexter ED1000 Series 4FT Grade 1 rim device, the DORMA 9300 Series 48 inch wide stile heavy duty Grade 1, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 48 inch Grade 1 crossbar, and the Cal-Royal 5500 48 inch push bar device, which is Grade 2 heavy duty.
12) How much clearance does the Hager 4501 push bar need in a corridor?
Projection is 3 inches in the undogged position. That is what sticks out from the door face when the bar is live, and it is the number to check against a tight vestibule, a crash rail, or anything mounted on the adjacent wall in the door swing.
13) Can the Hager 4501 be dogged down so the door stays push-open during business hours?
Hex key dogging comes standard on the panic rated devices, and cylinder dogging is available as an option if you would rather staff use a key than a hex wrench. One caution for anyone putting this on a labeled opening: mechanical dogging is not permitted on fire doors, so on the fire rated application the latch has to stay live.
14) What finishes and sizes does the Hager 4501 come in, and do they match my other doors?
Seven finishes across the range: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 oil rubbed satin bronze, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, and 630 satin stainless. Two door sizes, 36 x 84 and 36 x 96, and each size can be had in all seven finishes. For a building standardizing on 630, that is the common commercial choice and it is available in both heights.
15) What does less bottom rod mean when ordering the Hager 4501?
Less bottom rod, or LBR, drops the bottom rod and bottom latch so nothing runs down to the threshold. It is what people specify in schools, hospitals and anywhere carts and mops beat up floor hardware, and it keeps the sill clear. Both LBR and full rod are orderable in all seven finishes and in both the 36 x 84 and 36 x 96 sizes.
16) Can the Hager 4501 go on a wood door?
It ships with wood and machine screws, and the guidance is to use it on appropriately reinforced doors. Reinforcement is the real issue on a wood leaf: a Grade 1 heavy duty device on an unreinforced door will chew out the fasteners. If you want a rim device with wood door compatibility called out explicitly, the Adams Rite 3700 Series is a fire rated Grade 1 narrow stile device listed as wood door compatible.
17) Which rim exit devices besides the Hager 4501 have hex key dogging?
The Hager 4501 comes with hex key dogging standard on panic rated devices. Among peers, the Design Hardware 1000R 33 inch heavy duty rim device and the 2000R 33 inch standard duty rim device are both supplied with hex key dogging, and the Stanley Security QED200 Series Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile device is as well. Note that dogging is a panic-device feature: the fire-rated configuration of the 4501 is the one to specify for a labeled opening.
18) I need a crossbar exit device rather than a push pad like the Hager 4501 - what are the options?
The Hager 4501 is a wide stile push pad device. For a crossbar look, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim device, wide stile, for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the CRL Jackson 1095 Series 48 inch crossbar rim panic device is wide stile, exit only. Sargent offers reversible push bar style devices for 48 inch minimum door width in the 2828 and the 3828 standard push bar, both Grade 1 wide stile exit only. All of these are listed with a fire rating of No or as panic devices, so confirm the label requirement of the opening before swapping off the fire-rated 4501.
19) I am putting an exit device on a wood door - is the Hager 4501 the right choice or is there a better fit?
Among the comparable rim devices, the Adams Rite 3700 Series 30 inch, the 8700 Series 30 inch and the EX88 are the ones catalogued as wood door compatible, and of those the 3700 Series is the fire rated, Grade 1 one. The Adams Rite 8800 Series is expressly not wood door compatible. The Hager 4501 is supplied with both wood and machine screws and Hager notes it is recommended for use on appropriately reinforced doors, so verify the door core and reinforcement with the door manufacturer before committing either way.
20) What should I order if I need a night latch function instead of the exit only Hager 4501?
The Hager 4501 is a function 1 exit only device, though the door thickness allowance drops to 2-1/2 inches when a night latch is used. If the opening needs a dedicated night latch, the Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 night latch function rim device on a narrow stile design, and the Detex V4003A/03AN is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device supplied with night latch trim, device only. Both are Grade 1, matching the grade of the 4501.
21) Is a Detex Advantex 00 Series a substitute for the Hager 4501 on an inactive leaf?
Only if the leaf genuinely needs no egress hardware. The Detex Advantex 00 Series is a super-heavy-duty dummy exit device with wide stile design, Grade 1 - it matches the appearance of a working device but does not operate as one. The Hager 4501 is a working exit only device with a 3/4 inch throw Pullman dead-latching latchbolt and a fire rating. For a matching pair where both leaves must latch and the assembly is labeled, both leaves need real devices, not a dummy.
22) What is the Hager 4501 made of and will it hold up in a high traffic entrance?
Extruded aluminum body, stainless steel push bar cover, die cast caps and covers, and a stainless Pullman latchbolt, with the substrate listed as zinc and stainless steel. It is certified ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2014 Grade 1, the top durability tier for exit devices, and rated heavy duty commercial. The description also notes it meets ANSI requirements as a severe windstorm component and is approved for High Velocity Hurricane Zone areas, which matters on coastal Florida work.
23) Are the BEST Precision 5101 and 2401 non-handed devices interchangeable with the Hager 4501?
They differ on two points that decide the opening. The BEST Precision 5101 Series is a non-handed universal design rim device and the BEST 2401 Series is a non-handed narrow stile exit only device; the 2401 narrow stile will not sit on the 5-3/8 inch minimum stile the Hager 4501 requires, and neither BEST device is catalogued with a fire rating the way the 4501 is. Where a labeled wide stile opening is involved, the 4501 or another fire rated device such as the Orca OED85 36 inch is the fit.
