Hager 4501 SVR F 36X84 US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Hager 4501 surface vertical rod exit device fit my door stile?
On a single door you need at least 5-3/8 inches (137mm) of stile with a standard 5/8 inch (16mm) stop. Anything narrower than that and the 4501 is the wrong device, look at a narrow stile rim device like the TownSteel ED3700 or Corbin Russwin ED4200 instead. Door thickness runs 1-3/4 inches (44mm) standard and up to 3 inches, except with the night latch function where the ceiling is 2-1/2 inches.
2) Is the Hager 4501 approved for a fire door?
Yes. The 4501 is UL/cUL Listed for up to 3 hours on an "A" label single door, with both UL10C positive pressure and UL10B neutral pressure ratings. It is also ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2014 Grade 1. Note that on a fire door you do not get dogging that holds the latches retracted, hex key dogging is standard on panic rated devices only.
3) Can I cut the Hager 4501 down to fit a narrower door?
It's field sizeable. The 4501 covers doors up to 48 inches wide and can be cut down in the field, to 30 inches (762mm) on a panic rated door and 28 inches (711mm) on a fire rated door. The device itself is ordered in 36 inch width with rod lengths for 84, 96 or 120 inch door heights.
4) Should I use a surface vertical rod or a rim exit device on a pair of doors?
A surface vertical rod device like the Hager 4501 latches top and bottom into the frame head and the threshold, so it secures a pair of doors with no center mullion, which is why it gets specified on double egress and wide openings. A rim device latches into a strike on the frame or mullion and is the simpler choice on a single door. The 4501 uses dead locking Pullman type latchbolts with a 3/4 inch (19mm) throw at each end.
5) What other fire rated 36 inch rim exit devices can replace the Hager 4501 on a labeled opening?
For a 36 inch labeled door, the closest fire rated alternates are the Marks USA M9900F-36, a fire rated 36 inch rim exit device in exit only function, and the Orca Hardware OED85, a 36 inch fire rated rim exit device in exit only. The Dexter ED1000-R-F-EO is also a Grade 1 fire rated rim device. The Hager 4501 is Grade 1 to ANSI A156.3-2014 with hex key dogging standard, so if you are matching both the grade and a fire label, the Dexter ED1000-R-F-EO lines up on both counts.
6) What is the difference between the Hager 4501 SVR and a rim exit device like the Corbin Russwin ED5200?
The Hager 4501 SVR is a surface vertical rod device: it latches top and bottom through rods running the height of the door, and it is offered in 36 inch by 84 inch, 96 inch and 120 inch door heights with a less bottom rod option. The Corbin Russwin ED5200 is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device that latches into a strike on the frame at the lock edge only. Rim devices need a frame strike; the vertical rod arrangement suits pairs and doors where a center strike is not wanted.
7) What does the less bottom rod option on the Hager 4501 do, and when should I order it?
Less bottom rod (LBR) deletes the bottom rod and latch so nothing runs down to the threshold. Crews order it where the floor strike is a trip hazard or gets fouled by dirt, carpet or ice, and it makes the bottom of the door easier to keep clean. The 4501 is ordered either way, with bottom rod or less bottom rod.
8) Do I need a cylinder with the Hager 4501, and what type?
Exit only device, so no cylinder is required to operate it. Two things call for one: cylinder dogging, which uses a Hager 3902 1-1/8 inch mortise cylinder sold separately, and outside trim. When outside key access is used the device takes a rim cylinder.
9) What outside trim can I put on a Hager 4501?
Hager lists nine lever designs with escutcheon for the 4501: Archer, August, Charles, Johnston, Joshua, Louis, Warren, William and Withnell. Trim is a separate line item, the device on its own is exit only with no outside operation.
10) Will the Hager 4501 hold up in a hurricane zone opening?
It meets ANSI requirements as a Severe Windstorm Component and is approved for High Velocity Hurricane Zone areas, carrying Miami-Dade County NOA #22-0816.08. That is the piece Florida coastal specs ask for and most rim exit devices in this class do not carry it.
11) What else could I use instead of the Hager 4501 on a fire rated opening?
If the opening is a single door with a mullion or frame strike rather than a pair, a fire rated rim device does the job: the Marks USA M9900F comes in 36 and 48 inch, the Orca OED85 in 36 inch, and the Dexter ED1000-R-F-EO is a Grade 1 fire rated rim device. For a narrow stile aluminum fire door, the Adams Rite 3700 Series 30 inch is fire rated and narrow stile. None of those latch top and bottom the way the 4501 does, so they are not a swap on a pair of doors without a mullion.
12) Is the Hager 4501 a wide stile alternative to devices like the Sargent 8800 or Corbin Russwin ED5200?
All three are wide stile Grade 1 devices, but they are not interchangeable in function. The Hager 4501 is a fire rated surface vertical rod, so it latches at head and threshold. The Corbin Russwin ED5200 is a 36 inch wide stile rim device, not fire rated, that accepts trim. The Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM is a fire rated wide stile rim device with RX and motor latch retraction already built in. If your opening was prepped for vertical rod, only the 4501 drops into that prep.
13) I need a wider opening than 36 inches. What takes the place of the Hager 4501 on a 48 inch door?
For a 48 inch leaf, the Marks USA M9900F-48 is a fire rated rim panic device in exit only. If the opening is not labeled, the Dormakaba DORMA 9300 is a 48 inch Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile panic rim device with a 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range, and the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Hager 4501 is built as a 36 inch device.
14) Can an SDC switch bar or pressure sense bar be used in place of the Hager 4501?
No. The SDC MSB550 is a 36 inch mechanical switch bar that releases an electromagnetic lock, and the SDC SureExit PSB560 is a 36 inch pressure sense bar; neither is fire rated and both signal a separate locking device rather than carrying latches of their own. The Hager 4501 is a Grade 1 fire rated latching device with 3/4 inch throw pullman latchbolts. If you want electrified egress on the Hager, it is offered with request to exit, latch monitor, delayed egress and electric latch retraction options.
15) Which alternatives to the Hager 4501 also come with hex key dogging?
The Design Hardware 1000R is a 33 inch heavy duty rim device with hex key dogging, the 2000R is the standard duty 33 inch wide stile 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 Hager 4501 comes with hex key dogging standard. Note that none of those three are listed as fire rated, and dogging is not permitted on fire rated openings.
16) For a high abuse opening, is there a heavier device than the Hager 4501?
The Detex Advantex 10 Series 36 inch wide stile rim device is rated extra heavy duty and Grade 1, and the Detex 40 Advantex narrow stile device is also extra heavy duty Grade 1. The Hager 4501 is Grade 1 for heavy duty commercial use with an extruded aluminum body and stainless steel pullman latchbolts, and it carries a fire rating where the Detex 10 Series does not.
17) I need night latch function rather than exit only. What replaces the Hager 4501 there?
The Hager 4501 is configured as function 1, exit only device. For a keyed night latch, the Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device in night latch function, and the Detex V4003A/03AN is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device supplied with night latch trim. Both are rim devices latching at the lock edge rather than surface vertical rod.
18) What is the Hager 4501 made of and will it take heavy school or hospital traffic?
Extruded aluminum body with a stainless steel push bar cover, die cast zinc caps and covers, zinc standard end cap, and stainless steel dead locking Pullman latchbolts. Strikes are stainless with plated rollers and come standard. It is ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2014 Grade 1 rated for heavy duty commercial use, which is the top durability tier for exit devices.
19) How far does the Hager 4501 push bar stick out from the door?
Projection is 3 inches (76mm) in the undogged position. That matters where the door swings into a corridor with a clear width requirement, or where a wall or adjacent door leaf sits close to the swing.
20) What finishes does the Hager 4501 come in for matching existing hardware?
Eight finishes: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 oil rubbed satin bronze, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, 630 satin stainless steel, and black. 630 satin stainless and 626 satin chrome are the usual matches on commercial openings.
21) What fasteners come with the Hager 4501 and does the door need reinforcement?
Both wood and machine screws are supplied, so the device mounts to hollow metal or wood doors. Hager recommends installing it on appropriately reinforced doors, which on hollow metal means a factory reinforcement channel behind the push bar and rod mounting points. Strikes are included standard.
22) Looking at crossbar style devices instead of the Hager 4501 push pad. What are the options?
The CRL Jackson 1095 Series is a 48 inch crossbar rim panic device in exit only wide stile, and the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Sargent 3828 is a Grade 1 reversible standard push bar rim device for 48 inch doors. The Hager 4501 uses a wide stile push pad with a stainless steel push bar cover, and neither of the crossbar options above is listed as fire rated.
