Hager 4501 CLB F 36 US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What door thickness does the Hager 4501 rim exit device cover?
From 1-3/4 inches (44mm) standard up to 3 inches, and thickness is something you specify when ordering: 1-5/8, 1-3/4, 2, 2-1/2 and 3 inch are the choices. One exception, with the night latch function the ceiling is 2-1/2 inches. Most peer rim devices we carry are single-thickness 1-3/4 only, so if you have thick lead-lined or clad doors this is the one that reaches them.
2) Can the Hager 4501 be used on a 3-hour fire rated door?
Yes. The 4501 is UL/cUL Listed up to a 3 hour rating on A label single doors, with UL10C positive pressure and UL10B neutral pressure. It also carries ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2014 Grade 1. Note that on a fire rated opening the device has no dogging function in use, since fire doors must latch on every closing.
3) Will the Hager 4501 latch into the strike I already have on the frame?
The 4501 uses a 3/4 inch (19mm) throw stainless Pullman latchbolt with automatic dead-latching, and a stainless strike with plated rollers ships with the device. Rim strikes are surface applied to the frame stop, so plan on mounting the supplied strike rather than reusing an old one, unless the existing strike is a rim strike matched to a 3/4 inch Pullman throw.
4) Does the Hager 4501 exit device come with outside trim or a lever?
No. The 4501 is supplied function 1, exit only, meaning the device operates from the inside and there is no outside trim in the box. Lever trim with escutcheon is ordered separately in the Archer, August, Charles, Johnston, Joshua, Louis, Warren, William or Withnell designs. Outside key access uses a rim cylinder, also ordered separately.
5) The aluminum storefront door has a narrow stile. Can I use the Hager 4501 or do I need something else?
The Hager 4501 requires a minimum 5-3/8 inch stile for single doors, so a narrow stile storefront leaf calls for a narrow stile device. The TownSteel ED3700 in 36 inch and the TownSteel ED8900 in 36 inch are both Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim exit devices; the Corbin Russwin ED4200 in 36 inch is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device that accepts trim, and it lists a 1-3/4 inch door thickness. For a narrow stile leaf that also needs a label, the Adams Rite 3700 Series is fire rated.
6) What is the closest fire rated 36 inch wide stile rim exit device to the Hager 4501 if I need a different brand on the same opening?
The Marks USA M9900F-36 is the nearest match: a fire rated 36 inch rim exit device in exit only function. Like the Hager 4501, it is fire rated and not rated for wood doors. The Orca Hardware OED85 in the 36 inch size is a second fire rated rim exit only option. Both cover the same fire rated hollow metal or aluminum opening the 4501 is specified for, so either can carry the same door schedule line where the 4501 is called out.
7) I need a Grade 1 fire rated rim exit device but the door is wood. What should I use instead of the Hager 4501?
The Hager 4501 is not rated for wood doors. The Adams Rite 3700 Series in the 30 inch size is a Grade 1 fire rated rim exit device that is wood door compatible, built on a narrow stile chassis with starwheel interlocking. It is the fire rated choice in the set for a wood leaf. Note the narrow stile body differs from the 4501 wide stile pushpad, so the door prep is not shared between the two.
8) Which rim exit devices look like a substitute for the Hager 4501 but are not Grade 1?
The Cal-Royal 5000 in 36 inch and the Cal-Royal A9800 Series in 36 inch are both heavy duty rim exit devices that read as peers on size and duty level, but both carry a Grade 2 rating rather than the Grade 1 the Hager 4501 holds. Neither is fire rated. If the specification calls for ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1 on a labeled opening, those two do not answer it.
9) Is the SDC MSB550 switch bar an equivalent to the Hager 4501 rim exit device?
No. The SDC MSB550 Series in 36 inch is a mechanical switch bar that releases an electromagnetic lock, and the SDC PSB560 SureExit is a pressure sense bar with tri failsafe technology. Neither is fire rated, and both depend on a separate locking device to secure the opening. The Hager 4501 is a Grade 1 fire rated rim exit device with its own 3/4 inch throw Pullman latchbolt and strike, so it latches the door itself. Where a labeled opening needs mechanical latching, a switch bar does not fill that role.
10) The door is thicker than 2-1/4 inches. Which rim exit devices handle that besides the Hager 4501?
The Hager 4501 accepts door thickness from 1-3/4 inch standard up to 3 inch. Among the comparable devices, the Adams Rite 8800 Series covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch and the Dormakaba 9300 Series covers the same 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch range, while the SDC S6136 Spectra covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. On a leaf above 2-1/4 inch, the 4501 range is the one that reaches it.
11) I need a night latch function rather than exit only. Does the Hager 4501 cover that or is there another device?
The Hager 4501 is supplied in function 1, exit only, at the device. The Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device built in night latch function, and the Detex V4003A/03AN is a Grade 1 wide stile rim exit device supplied with night latch trim. Those two are the direct answer where the schedule calls for key retraction of the latch from the outside on a narrow or wide stile leaf.
12) Which fire rated wide stile rim exit device should I look at if the opening needs request to exit and electric latch retraction from the factory?
The Hager 4501 can be ordered with RX request to exit and MLR motor driven electric latch retraction as electric modifications. The Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM is a fire rated Grade 1 wide stile rim exit device supplied with RX and MELR, so it is the comparable already configured that way. Confirm which function you need at the trim, since the Sargent unit is listed in dummy function while the Hager 4501 device is exit only.
13) Can I cut down the Hager 4501 36 inch device for a narrower door?
Yes, the 4501 is field sizeable, down to 30 inch panic rated door width and 28 inch on a fire rated door. That means one 36 inch device covers a range of openings in a building rather than ordering a separate length per door.
14) How much does the Hager 4501 push bar stick out into the corridor?
Projection is 3 inches (76mm) in the undogged position. That matters where the door swings into a tight corridor or against a wall, and it is the number to check against your required clear egress width.
15) How do I hold the Hager 4501 unlocked during business hours?
Hex key dogging is standard on the panic rated devices, so a maintenance tech can depress the pad and dog it with an allen wrench for open hours. Cylinder dogging is available as an option if you would rather control it with a key instead of a loose hex wrench. Dogging is not usable on the fire rated application.
16) Is the Hager 4501 rated for hurricane zone openings?
Yes. The 4501 meets ANSI requirements as a Severe Windstorm Component and is approved for High Velocity Hurricane Zone areas, which is what a Florida coastal spec asks for on an egress door.
17) What is a fire rated alternative to the Hager 4501 wide stile rim exit device?
If you need a fire rated rim device from another line, the Marks USA M9900F comes in both 36 and 48 inch, the Orca OED85 Series is a 36 inch fire rated rim device, and the Dexter ED1000 Series has a Grade 1 fire rated rim version. The Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM is fire rated wide stile with RX and motor latch retraction already built in if the opening is access controlled. Among non-fire wide stile Grade 1 options, the Corbin Russwin ED5200 and TownSteel ED9700 are the closest in form, but neither is fire rated so they cannot go on a labeled door.
18) Will a rim exit device like the Hager 4501 work on a pair of doors?
Only with a mullion. A rim device latches into a strike on the frame stop, so on a pair with no center mullion there is nothing for it to catch. Add a removable mullion and each leaf can take a rim device, or go to a vertical rod device that latches at the head and threshold instead. On a single opening within the 5-3/8 inch stile minimum, the 4501 goes straight on.
19) My opening is not fire rated. Is there a simpler Grade 1 rim exit device than the Hager 4501?
Yes. The Corbin Russwin ED2200 in 36 inch is a Grade 1 wide stile rim exit device in exit only function without a fire rating, and the TownSteel ED1100 in 36 inch is a Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile rim device, also non fire rated. Both keep the Grade 1 wide stile format of the Hager 4501 while dropping the fire rated construction, which suits an exterior or non rated interior opening where no label is required.
20) I want a hex key dogging rim device like the Hager 4501 for a non rated opening. What are my options?
The Hager 4501 comes with hex key dogging standard. The Design Hardware 1000R in 33 inch is a heavy duty rim device with hex key dogging, and the Design Hardware 2000R in 33 inch is the standard duty wide stile version with the same hex key dogging; neither is fire rated. The Stanley Security QED200 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim device with hex key dogging for a narrower leaf. Note that dogging is not used on fire rated openings, which is why these appear on unlabeled doors.
21) What is the difference between the Hager 4501 push pad device and a crossbar rim exit device for a 48 inch opening?
The Hager 4501 uses a stainless steel push bar cover over a wide stile pushpad body. The CRL Jackson 1095 Series in 48 inch is a crossbar rim panic exit device in exit only function, and the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim device. A crossbar spans the door on a horizontal bar rather than a full width pad, which is often chosen to match existing crossbar hardware already hanging on adjacent doors in the same building.
22) For an extra heavy duty wide stile opening, how does the Detex 10 Advantex compare with the Hager 4501?
The Detex 10 Advantex Series in 36 inch is a Grade 1 wide stile rim exit device rated extra heavy duty, at the same 36 inch size and wide stile format as the Hager 4501, and it is not wood door compatible. The distinction is the label: the Detex 10 is not fire rated, while the Hager 4501 carries a fire rating. On an unlabeled high traffic opening the Detex duty level is the draw; on a labeled one the 4501 is the device that holds the rating.
23) Are there non handed rim exit devices I can stock instead of matching handing on the Hager 4501?
Yes. The BEST Precision 5101 Series is a non handed universal design rim exit device, the BEST 2401 Series is a narrow stile rim device that is exit only and non handed, and the CRL Jackson 1295 Series is a non handed push pad rim panic exit device listing a 1-3/4 inch door thickness. Sargent also lists the 2828 and 3828 as reversible Grade 1 rim devices for 48 inch minimum door width. A non handed body reduces the number of part numbers a facility has to carry across a mixed set of openings.
24) What finishes does the Hager 4501 rim exit device come in?
Seven, and they are the standard BHMA numbers so you can match what is already hanging in the building: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 oil-rubbed satin bronze, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome and 630 satin stainless steel. For a facility standardizing across openings, 630 and 626 are the usual commercial choices.
25) What is the Hager 4501 made of and will it hold up in a school or hospital corridor?
Body is extruded aluminum with a stainless steel push bar cover, die cast caps and covers, and stainless Pullman latchbolts. Substrate is zinc and stainless steel. It is Grade 1 under ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2014, the heavy duty commercial tier, which is the level specified for high traffic institutional corridors. Hager recommends it go on appropriately reinforced doors.
26) What screws come with the Hager 4501 and do I need anything else to mount it?
Wood and machine screws are supplied, along with the stainless roller strike and a standard zinc end cap. Templates come with the device for laying out the door and frame prep. Order separately: outside lever trim if you want anything other than exit only, a rim cylinder for key access or cylinder dogging, and a mullion if the device is going on a pair.
