Hager 4501 CVR F 48X84 US26 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the minimum stile width for the Hager 4501 concealed vertical rod exit device?
The 4501 needs a 5-3/8 inch minimum stile on a single door with a standard 5/8 inch stop. It's a wide stile pushpad device, so an aluminum storefront door with a 2 to 4 inch stile won't take it. For those openings you want a narrow stile rim device like the Adams Rite 3700 (fire rated) or the TownSteel ED3700.
2) Will the Hager 4501 work on a 36 inch door, or do I have to buy the 36 inch version?
The 48 inch 4501 is field sizeable down, so one device covers a range of door widths. Hager states field sizing to 30 inches on a panic rated door and 28 inches on a fire rated door, so a 36 inch opening is well inside that. Cut to the door width per the instructions before mounting.
3) Is the Hager 4501 fire rated, and for how long?
Yes. The 4501 is UL/cUL Listed up to 3 hours on an A label single door, and carries both UL10C positive pressure and UL10B neutral pressure ratings. Note that fire rated devices do not get dogged open, so hex key dogging is a panic rated feature only.
4) What does Less Bottom Rod mean on the Hager 4501, and should I order it?
Less bottom rod (LBR) deletes the bottom rod and floor latch so the device only latches at the head. Crews spec it to keep the bottom rod out of the traffic path where it gets kicked, bent, and jammed by debris, and to clear uneven or carpeted floors. Both LBR and full top-and-bottom versions are available in 84 inch and 96 inch door heights. If your local AHJ requires two-point latching on the fire door, order it with the bottom rod.
5) Will the Hager 4501 latch into the strike I already have?
The 4501 uses a 3/4 inch throw stainless Pullman type latch with automatic dead-latching, and it latches top and bottom into vertical rod strikes at the head and sill, not into a frame strike on the lock edge. If your existing opening has a rim device with a surface strike on the jamb, that prep won't carry over. Stainless strikes with plated rollers ship standard with panic devices.
6) Should I use a concealed vertical rod device or a rim device on my opening?
Concealed vertical rod, like the Hager 4501, latches at the head and the threshold with the rods hidden inside the door, so it secures a pair of doors with no center mullion and leaves a clean face. It needs a door prepped for concealed rods. A rim device latches into a surface strike on the frame and is simpler to install and service, but on a pair you need a mullion. If the door isn't already CVR prepped, a rim device such as the Corbin Russwin ED5200 or the Marks USA M9900F (fire rated, 48 inch) is the easier retrofit.
7) Does the Hager 4501 come with outside trim, or is that a separate order?
The 4501 as configured is function 1, exit only, so there is no outside operating trim in the box. Hager offers lever trim with escutcheon in the Archer, August, Charles, Johnston, Joshua, Louis, Warren, William and Withnell designs, ordered separately. Cylinders for the device are rim type.
8) What other 48 inch fire rated exit device can I use if the Hager 4501 does not suit the opening?
The Marks USA M9900F-48 is a 48 inch fire rated rim panic exit device in an exit only function with a panic protector end cap. Like the Hager 4501, it is fire rated; the Hager 4501 is a concealed vertical rod device that latches top and bottom, while the M9900F-48 is a rim device that latches into a strike on the frame at the push bar level, so the door and frame prep differ.
9) My door is a narrow stile aluminum storefront - what should I use instead of the Hager 4501?
The Hager 4501 needs a 5-3/8 inch minimum stile, which a typical storefront stile will not give you. Narrow stile rim options include the Adams Rite 8800 Series (ADA-8800-30), a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin ED4200 Grade 1 narrow stile rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Falcon 19-R exit only Grade 1 narrow stile device. If the storefront opening is also fire rated, the Adams Rite 3700 Series is the narrow stile device carrying a fire rating.
10) Which 48 inch exit devices look like substitutes for the Hager 4501 but will not work on a labeled fire door?
Several 48 inch devices are not fire rated and are therefore panic only openings: the CRL Jackson 1095 Series 48 inch crossbar rim device, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the DORMA 9300A 48 inch wide stile rim device for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal A9820 48 inch rim device. The Hager 4501 is fire rated, so on an A label door these are not interchangeable with it.
11) Is the Hager 4501 exit device ADA compliant?
Hager lists the 4501 as not ADA compliant. If the opening is on an accessible route and your specification calls for ADA compliant hardware, verify the complete assembly including trim and closer against your code official before committing the device.
12) Is the Hager 4501 Grade 1, and is it rated for a high traffic opening?
Grade 1 under ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2014, built for heavy duty commercial use. Body is extruded aluminum with a stainless push bar cover and die cast end caps. Hager 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.
13) What fasteners and prep does the Hager 4501 need on a wood door?
Both wood and machine screws are supplied, so the device mounts to hollow metal or wood. Hager recommends it be applied to appropriately reinforced doors, and on a wood fire door the leaf has to be factory prepped and reinforced for concealed vertical rods. Use the manufacturer templates to lay out the pad and rod locations before drilling.
14) I need a fire rated exit device but my door isn't prepped for concealed rods. What else can I use?
Stay with a fire rated surface or rim device. From what we stock, the Marks USA M9900F is fire rated and comes in 36 and 48 inch, the Dexter ED1000-R-F-EO is a Grade 1 fire rated rim device, the Orca OED85 is a 36 inch fire rated rim, and the Adams Rite 3700 is the fire rated narrow stile option for an aluminum storefront leaf. Fire rated devices have no dogging, so none of these will hold open.
15) What is a Grade 2 option if I do not need the Grade 1 rating of the Hager 4501?
The Cal-Royal 5500 is a 48 inch wide rim exit device with a push bar carrying a Grade 2 heavy duty rating, and the Cal-Royal 5000 is the 36 inch touch bar version, also Grade 2 heavy duty. Both are non fire rated, so they cannot replace the Hager 4501 on a labeled opening - the Hager 4501 is Grade 1 and fire rated.
16) I need an electrified exit device rather than the Hager 4501 with an electric modification - what else is there?
The Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM is a fire rated Grade 1 wide stile rim device supplied with request to exit and motorized electric latch retraction. The SDC S6136 is a 36 inch electrified architectural rim device with a 4 inch wide stile for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Dormakaba E2103 is a 36 inch electrified rim device with 4908A classroom trim. Of these, the Sargent 12-8810 is the fire rated one, matching the Hager 4501 on that point.
17) What extra heavy duty exit device compares with the Hager 4501 for a high traffic opening?
The Detex 10 Advantex is a 36 inch wide stile rim device rated extra heavy duty and Grade 1, and the Detex 40 Advantex is the narrow stile extra heavy duty Grade 1 version. Both are rim devices latching at the frame, while the Hager 4501 is a concealed vertical rod device rated Grade 1 for heavy duty commercial use, and the Hager carries the fire rating that the Detex 10 does not.
18) I need a night latch function instead of the exit only Hager 4501 - what should I look at?
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 offered with night latch trim. The Hager 4501 is exit only as the device, with lever and escutcheon trim available separately, and its door thickness allowance drops to 2-1/2 inch when a night latch is used.
19) What finishes does the Hager 4501 exit device come in?
Seven: 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 matching a run of commercial openings, 630 and 626 are the usual standards in a building that already has satin hardware.
20) How far does the Hager 4501 stick out from the door face?
Projection is 3 inches (76mm) in the undogged position. Worth checking against a tight vestibule, a door that swings into a corridor, or an adjacent wall where the pushpad could foul something on the return swing.
