Hager 4501 MRTN F 36 US26 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Hager 4501 rim exit device fit a door narrower than 36 inches?
The 4501 is field sizeable down from its supplied length, and Hager rates it to 30 inches on a panic-rated door and 28 inches on a fire-rated door. The other limit that matters is stile: you need a minimum 5-3/8 inch stile with a standard 5/8 inch stop. If your door has a narrower stile than that, this wide stile device is the wrong choice and you want a narrow stile rim device instead, like the Corbin Russwin ED4200 or the TownSteel ED3700.
2) What does the night latch mortise function on the Hager 4501 MRTN actually do?
Night latch means key retracts the latch from the outside for entry, and the push bar always gives free egress from the inside. The outside cylinder is a rim cylinder. Keep in mind the night latch build caps door thickness at 2-1/2 inches rather than the 3 inches the standard device handles. If you want a straight exit-only device with no outside key access, that is a different function.
3) If my opening is a narrow stile aluminum storefront door, what should I use instead of the Hager 4501?
The Hager 4501 is a wide stile device requiring a minimum 5-3/8 inch stile, so it will not fit a narrow stile storefront. For a fire rated narrow stile opening, the Adams Rite 3700 Series 30 inch is fire rated, Grade 1, narrow stile, and also wood door compatible. Non-fire-rated narrow stile options include the Adams Rite 8800 Series and the TownSteel ED3700 at 36 inches, both Grade 1 narrow stile.
4) What is the closest fire rated Grade 1 rim exit device to the Hager 4501 at 36 inches?
The Dexter ED1000-R-F-EO is the closest straight equivalent: it is a Grade 1 fire rated rim exit device, like the Hager 4501 which carries Grade 1 and a fire rating. The Orca OED85 is also a 36 inch fire rated rim exit device in exit only function. Both, like the Hager 4501, are specified for metal doors rather than wood.
5) I need night latch function. How does the Hager 4501 MRTN compare with other night latch exit devices?
The Hager 4501 MRTN is a wide stile fire rated Grade 1 rim device with the night latch mortise, taking a rim cylinder. The Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 night latch function rim device in a narrow design, and the Detex V4003A/03AN is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device with night latch trim. The difference that usually decides it is stile width and whether the opening carries a fire label.
6) Will the Hager 4501 latch into the strike I already have on the frame?
Plan on using the strike that ships with it. The device uses a 3/4 inch (19mm) throw Pullman type stainless latchbolt with automatic deadlatching, and a stainless steel roller strike is included standard with the panic devices. Matching that throw and roller geometry to an existing strike of unknown origin is how doors end up not latching, so install the supplied strike and shim the frame prep if needed.
7) How much does the Hager 4501 exit device stick out into the opening?
Projection is 3 inches (76mm) with the device undogged. That matters where the door swings into a corridor with a clear-width requirement or where furniture, carts or a second leaf swing past the push bar. Dogged down, the bar sits closer to the door.
8) Is the Hager 4501 ADA compliant?
No. Hager lists the 4501 as not ADA compliant, so on an opening where you have an accessibility requirement to meet, this is not the device to spec. Check the barrier-free requirement for that door before committing.
9) What are the alternatives to the Hager 4501 if I need a fire rated 36 inch rim device from another brand?
Several in the same class. The Marks USA M9900F 36 inch is fire rated, exit only, with a panic protector end cap. The Orca OED85 Series 36 inch is a fire rated rim device, exit only. The Dexter ED1000 Series fire rated rim device is Grade 1. Arrow's FS1250 is a fire rated 32 inch rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors. Where the Hager differs is the night latch mortise function with a rim cylinder for outside key entry, rather than exit only.
10) Is the Hager 4501 approved for hurricane zone work?
Yes. It meets ANSI requirements as a Severe Windstorm Component and is approved for High Velocity Hurricane Zone areas, which is what gets asked for on coastal Florida jobs. Pair it with a properly reinforced door, as Hager recommends.
11) What lever trim works with the Hager 4501 exit device?
Hager offers the Archer, August, Charles, Johnston, Joshua, Louis, Warren, William and Withnell levers with escutcheon for this series. Trim is a separate line item, so add it to the order along with the rim cylinder if you are doing an outside-access function.
12) Does the Hager 4501 have dogging so I can hold the door push-open during business hours?
Hex key dogging is standard, but only on the panic rated devices. Fire rated applications do not get mechanical dogging held down, that is a code restriction on fire doors rather than a product limitation. If you need hold-open behavior on a fire door, look at electric latch retraction (MLR or MLRX) instead of mechanical dogging.
13) We do not need a fire rating on this opening, just panic hardware. What is a simpler alternative to the Hager 4501?
Where the opening only needs panic hardware, the Corbin Russwin ED5200 at 36 inches is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device with no fire rating, and the TownSteel ED1100 at 36 inches is a Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile rim device also without a fire rating. The Cal-Royal 5000 at 36 inches is a Grade 2 chassis, a step down from the Grade 1 certification the Hager 4501 carries. A non-fire-rated device cannot be substituted onto a labeled fire door.
14) Which fire rated exit device should I use on a 48 inch door instead of the 36 inch Hager 4501?
The Hager 4501 in the 36 inch size is field sizeable down from 48 inches for panic or fire rated doors. If you would rather order the wider unit outright, the Marks USA M9900F-48 is a 48 inch fire rated rim panic device in exit only function with a panic protector end cap.
15) Is the SDC PSB560 or MSB550 a substitute for the Hager 4501 exit device?
No. The Hager 4501 is a mechanical Grade 1 fire rated rim exit device with a 3/4 inch Pullman latchbolt and its own strike. The SDC PSB560 pressure sense bar and MSB550 mechanical switch bar are 36 inch bars that release an electromagnetic lock rather than throwing their own latch, and neither is fire rated. They serve a mag lock opening, not a latched fire door.
16) For an extra heavy duty wide stile opening, is there a step above the Hager 4501?
The Detex 10 Advantex Series at 36 inches is a wide stile rim device rated extra heavy duty at Grade 1, and the Detex 40 Advantex is the extra heavy duty narrow stile equivalent. The Hager 4501 is rated Grade 1 for heavy duty commercial use and carries the fire rating, which the Detex 10 does not.
17) Are there crossbar exit devices I should consider instead of the push pad Hager 4501?
The Hager 4501 uses a push bar with a stainless steel push bar cover. If the specification calls for a crossbar, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim device and the CRL Jackson 1095 is a 48 inch crossbar rim panic device in exit only. Neither of those two is fire rated, so they do not cover a labeled opening the way the Hager 4501 does.
18) What finishes does the Hager 4501 come in for matching other hardware in the building?
Seven finishes: 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. 626 and 630 are the two you will see most across commercial openings, so those are the safe picks when standardizing a facility.
19) What is the Hager 4501 made of and will it hold up in a high traffic entry?
Extruded aluminum body with a stainless steel push bar cover and die cast zinc caps and covers, with a stainless latchbolt. It is certified ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2014 Grade 1, which is the heavy duty commercial rating, and Hager positions the series as heavy duty commercial. That is the right class for school, hospital, retail and multi-tenant entry doors.
