Hager 4501 CLB F 48 US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Hager 4501 rim exit device fit a 48 inch wide door, and can it be cut down for a narrower opening?
The 4501 is the 48 inch device, and it is field sizeable. On a panic-rated opening it can be cut down to a 30 inch door, and on a fire-rated opening to 28 inches. So one part number covers most of the range between a narrow office door and a full 4 foot leaf. Cutting is done in the field per the Hager instructions, so measure the leaf before ordering rather than assuming the 36 inch device is the right starting point.
2) What is the minimum stile width for the Hager 4501 rim exit device?
5-3/8 inches (137mm) minimum stile on a single door with a standard 5/8 inch stop. That is a wide stile pushpad device, so an aluminum storefront door with a 2 to 4 inch stile will not take it. For narrow stile aluminum, a device built for it, like the Adams Rite 3700 Series (also fire rated, Grade 1) or the TownSteel ED3700, is the right family to look at instead.
3) Is the Hager 4501 approved for a fire rated door, and for how many hours?
Yes. UL and cUL Listed for fire ratings up to 3 hours, with both UL10C positive pressure and UL10B neutral pressure. It also carries ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2014 Grade 1. On a fire door the device is exit only with no mechanical dogging held down, which is why the dogging note matters: hex key dogging is standard on the panic rated devices, not on fire rated openings.
4) Will the Hager 4501 latch into the strike I already have on the frame?
Probably not without changing the strike. The 4501 uses a 3/4 inch (19mm) throw Pullman type latchbolt with automatic dead-latching in stainless steel, and it ships with its own stainless steel strike with plated rollers as standard on the panic devices. Rim device strikes are surface applied to the frame stop and are matched to the device, so plan on installing the supplied strike rather than reusing whatever is there.
5) Does the Hager 4501 come with outside trim, or do I order a lever separately?
The 4501 as configured is function 1, exit only, meaning the device alone with no outside operation. Outside access takes a separate trim order. Hager offers the Archer, August, Charles, Johnston, Joshua, Louis, Warren, William and Withnell levers with escutcheon on this series. If you want cylinder dogging instead of the standard hex key, that takes a 3902 1-1/8 inch mortise cylinder, also ordered separately.
6) What else could I buy instead of the Hager 4501 for a 48 inch fire rated door?
For a fire rated 48 inch leaf, the Marks USA M9900F 48 inch rim device is the closest direct swap, exit only with a panic protector end cap. Other fire rated rim options are the Dexter ED1000 Series Grade 1 fire rated device and the Orca Hardware OED85 Series at 36 inches. Watch the fire rating spec closely on any substitute: the Corbin Russwin ED3200 and the DORMA 9300A are both Grade 1 wide stile 48 inch devices but are not fire rated, so they are not a swap on a fire door.
7) The Hager 4501 is not rated for wood doors - what fire rated rim exit device works on a wood door?
The Adams Rite 3700 Series fire rated rim exit device is listed as wood door compatible, in Grade 1, and is a narrow stile device with starwheel interlocking. That is the substitution to make when the leaf is wood rather than hollow metal or aluminum. The Hager 4501 MRT is a wide stile pushpad device and is not rated for wood doors, and Hager notes the device should be used on appropriately reinforced doors. Note the stile change: the Adams Rite 3700 is narrow stile, so the door prep and pad footprint are not the same as a wide stile 4501.
8) Can I use the Corbin Russwin ED5200 or the Dormakaba 9300 in place of the Hager 4501 on a fire door?
No - those are the two most common look-alikes and neither is a fire rated device. The Corbin Russwin ED5200 is a Grade 1 36 inch wide stile rim device listed as not fire rated, and the DORMA 9300 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty 48 inch wide stile panic rim device, exit only, also not fire rated, with a 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range. The 9300 matches the Hager 4501 on width and wide stile format, which is exactly why it gets substituted by mistake. On a labeled opening you need the fire rated device: the Hager 4501 MRT is UL/cUL Listed up to a 3 hour rating with UL10C positive pressure.
9) My door has a narrow stile - the Hager 4501 needs 5-3/8 inch. What Grade 1 rim device fits a narrow stile?
The Hager 4501 MRT requires a minimum 5-3/8 inch stile for single doors with a standard 5/8 inch stop, so on an aluminum storefront or narrow stile leaf you want a narrow stile device. Grade 1 narrow stile rim options include the Falcon 19-R exit only device at 36 inches for 1-3/4 inch doors, the TownSteel ED8900 36 inch heavy duty narrow stile device, and the Detex 40 Advantex, which is extra heavy duty narrow stile. None of those three is listed fire rated - if the opening is labeled, stay with a fire rated device.
10) What should I use instead of the Hager 4501 if I need a night latch function rather than exit only?
The Hager 4501 MRT is an exit only device - function 1, device only - so it does not provide outside key access on its own; a lever with escutcheon trim in the Archer, Warren or Withnell styles is ordered separately. For a factory night latch function, 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. Note that when the Hager 4501 is configured with night latch, the door thickness ceiling drops to 2-1/2 inch rather than 3 inch.
11) How far does the Hager 4501 stick out from the door face?
3 inches (76mm) projection in the undogged position. That is the number that decides whether the device clears a return wall, an adjacent leaf, or an in-swinging condition in a tight corridor. Measure the free space on the push side against that 3 inches before you commit.
12) Should I use a rim exit device or a vertical rod device on my door?
A rim device like the Hager 4501 latches into a strike on the frame stop, which is the simplest and lowest maintenance arrangement for a single door in a frame. It is the wrong choice on a pair of doors with no center mullion, because there is nothing at the strike jamb to latch into. Pairs without a mullion need vertical rod hardware that latches at the head and threshold, or a removable mullion added so each leaf can take a rim device.
13) Is the Hager 4501 exit device rated for hurricane and windstorm openings?
Yes. The 4501 meets ANSI requirements for Severe Windstorm Components and is approved for High Velocity Hurricane Zone areas, which is the approval that matters on coastal Florida and similar jurisdictions. Combined with the up to 3 hour UL/cUL fire listing, it covers openings that have to satisfy both wind and fire requirements.
14) What is the Hager 4501 made of, and will it hold up in a high traffic entrance?
The body is extruded aluminum with stainless steel push bar cover, stainless steel latchbolt, and die cast zinc end caps, and it is certified ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2014 Grade 1, the heavy duty commercial rating. That is the grade specified for school, hospital and office entrances that cycle all day. Fasteners include both wood and machine screws.
15) Does the Hager 4501 take a rim cylinder for keyed outside access?
Yes, the cylinder prep on the 4501 is rim, so a standard rim cylinder is what you order for keyed outside trim. That is a different cylinder from the mortise cylinder used for cylinder dogging, which is Hager's 3902 at 1-1/8 inch. If you are keying a building to one system, note that you may be ordering two cylinder types on the same opening.
16) Is the Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM a substitute for the Hager 4501 mortise rim exit device?
It is not a functional substitute even though it looks close on paper. The Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM is a fire rated Grade 1 wide stile rim device with RX and MELR, but its function is dummy - it does not latch or provide egress hardware operation. The Hager 4501 MRT is an exit only device with a 3/4 inch throw Pullman type latchbolt that automatically dead-latches, and stainless steel strikes with plated rollers are included. If you want the electrified features on a working device instead, the 4501 accepts RX request to exit and MLR motor driven electric latch retraction as ordered modifications.
17) I am standardizing exit devices across a facility with both labeled and unlabeled openings - how does the Hager 4501 fit against a mixed-brand approach?
The Hager 4501 MRT gives one wide stile pushpad platform for the labeled openings: Grade 1 to ANSI A156.3-2014, UL/cUL Listed up to 3 hours, hex key dogging standard with optional cylinder dogging, a rim cylinder keyway, and seven finishes including 626 satin chrome and 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed so the fleet matches. If you split the spec by opening instead, the fire rated peers are the Marks USA M9900F, the Orca OED85 and the Dexter ED1000 fire rated device; the unlabeled openings can take the TownSteel ED1100 Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile device or the DORMA 8300 Grade 1 wide stile panic rim device. Splitting brands means two keyway and two dogging conventions to maintain across the building.
18) What finishes does the Hager 4501 exit device come in?
Seven finishes are orderable: 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 building being standardized, 630 satin stainless is the usual commercial default and 626 satin chrome is the common match to existing satin chrome lever trim on the rest of the openings.
19) Which 48 inch rim exit device is non-handed or reversible compared with the Hager 4501?
The Sargent 2828 is a Grade 1 reversible wide stile rim exit device for a 48 inch minimum door width, and the Sargent 3828 is a Grade 1 reversible standard push bar rim device for 48 inch doors - both exit only. The BEST Precision 5101 is a non-handed universal design rim device, and the BEST 2401 is a non-handed narrow stile exit only device. Where those trade on handing flexibility, the Hager 4501 MRT covers a labeled opening: fire rated, Grade 1 to ANSI A156.3-2014, with severe windstorm and High Velocity Hurricane Zone approval.
