Hager 4501 SVR F 48X84 US26 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Hager 4501 surface vertical rod device fit a pair of doors without a mullion?
That's exactly what a surface vertical rod device is for. The 4501 SVR latches at the head and the threshold rather than into a strike on the frame edge, so a pair of doors can be secured without a center mullion. If you are working a single door in a frame and want the simpler install, a rim device latching into a frame-mounted strike is the usual choice instead.
2) Can I use the Hager 4501 on a 3-hour fire rated door?
Yes. The 4501 Series is UL/cUL Listed up to 3 hours on "A" label single doors, and carries both UL10C positive pressure and UL10B neutral pressure ratings. Because it is fire rated, it has no mechanical dogging function in the fire configuration; hex key dogging is standard on panic rated devices only.
3) Will the Hager 4501 latch into my existing top and bottom strikes?
The 4501 uses dead locking stainless steel Pullman type latchbolts with a 3/4 inch (19mm) throw and automatic dead-latching. Stainless steel strikes with plated rollers are included standard with the panic devices, so plan on setting the supplied strikes rather than reusing old ones unless your existing prep already matches a 3/4 inch Pullman throw.
4) What is the less bottom rod option on the Hager 4501 and when should I order it?
Less bottom rod (LBR) is a yes/no choice on the 4501. Ordering LBR deletes the bottom rod and bottom latch so nothing runs to the threshold, which is the common pick where floor debris, carpet, or an uneven sill would foul a bottom latch, and where the authority having jurisdiction accepts top-latch-only on the fire rated opening. Keep both rods if you want the two-point latching.
5) Does the Hager 4501 come with a lever trim for outside entry, or is it exit only?
The device itself is function 1, exit only, so no outside trim is included. Outside trim is ordered separately from Hager's lever-with-escutcheon options: Archer, August, Charles, Johnston, Joshua, Louis, Warren, William or Withnell. Cylinder is a rim type if you need keyed outside operation or cylinder dogging.
6) What other fire rated exit devices could I use instead of the Hager 4501?
If the opening is a single door in a frame and you do not need top and bottom latching, a fire rated rim device is simpler: the Marks USA M9900F comes in both 36 and 48 inch exit-only versions, the Dexter ED1000 Series has a Grade 1 fire rated rim model, the Orca OED85 Series is a 36 inch fire rated rim device, and the Arrow FS1250 is a 32 inch fire rated rim. For a fire rated narrow stile aluminum door, the Adams Rite 3700 Series is the one to look at. Watch out for the popular wide stile devices that are not fire rated at all, including the Cal-Royal 5500, Dormakaba 9300, and Corbin Russwin ED3200 and ED5200.
7) The door stile is too narrow for the Hager 4501 - what rim exit device should I use instead?
The Hager 4501 requires a minimum stile width of 5-3/8 inch on single doors. For narrower aluminum stiles, narrow stile Grade 1 options include the Corbin Russwin ED4200 36 inch narrow stile rim device at 1-3/4 inch door thickness, the Falcon 19-R exit only 36 inch narrow stile, the TownSteel ED3700 36 inch narrow stile, and the Detex 40 Advantex extra heavy duty narrow stile device. Of these, the Adams Rite 3700 Series is the one also listed as fire rated.
8) Which fire rated Grade 1 rim exit devices can replace the Hager 4501 on a 36 inch opening?
Two fire rated Grade 1 options: the Dexter ED1000-R-F-EO fire rated rim exit device and the Adams Rite 3700 Series 30 inch fire rated rim device, which is a narrow stile design with starwheel interlocking and is listed as wood door compatible. The Hager 4501 is a 48 inch device field sizeable down to 36 inch and needs a minimum 5-3/8 inch stile, so on an aluminum narrow stile door the Adams Rite 3700 is the one dimensioned for it.
9) Which devices look like substitutes for the Hager 4501 but are not?
Three to rule out. The Detex Advantex 00 Series is a dummy wide stile exit device, not a latching panic device. The Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM is fire rated wide stile but its function is dummy. The SDC MSB550 mechanical switch bar and SDC PSB560 pressure sense bar are switch and sense bars for electromagnetic lock release rather than mechanical latching rim devices. The Hager 4501 is function 1 exit only with a dead locking stainless Pullman latchbolt at 3/4 inch throw.
10) Can the 48 inch Hager 4501 be cut down for a narrower door?
Yes. The 48 inch device is field sizeable down to 36 inches, so one part number covers a range of door widths on the job. Hager's published limit for the series is 30 inches on panic rated doors and 28 inches on fire rated doors.
11) What door heights does the Hager 4501 surface vertical rod cover?
Rod length is selected by door size: 36 x 84 inch, 36 x 96 inch, and 36 x 120 inch. Pick the size that matches your actual door height, since the vertical rods have to reach the head and the sill.
12) Is the Hager 4501 approved for hurricane zone openings?
Yes. The 4501 Series meets ANSI requirements as Severe Windstorm Components and is approved for High Velocity Hurricane Zone areas with Miami-Dade County NOA certification, which is what South Florida jobs normally call for on an egress door.
13) Is the Hager 4501 heavy duty enough for a school or hospital exit door?
It is certified ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2014 Grade 1, the heavy duty commercial classification, and built from extruded aluminum with a stainless steel push bar cover and die cast caps. Hager recommends it be applied to appropriately reinforced doors. Note the record lists it as not ADA compliant, so on an opening where ADA operating requirements are enforced, confirm the full hardware set with your specifier.
14) What is a simpler alternative to the Hager 4501 on a 48 inch opening that does not need a fire label?
For a non-rated 48 inch opening, the CRL Jackson 1095 Series 48 inch crossbar rim panic device and the Cal-Royal 5500 48 inch push bar device both cover that width; the Cal-Royal 5500 is a Grade 2 heavy duty device. The Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim panic device, and the Dormakaba 9300A is a Grade 1 wide stile 48 inch exit only device with a 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range. The Hager 4501 carries a fire rating and Grade 1 certification, so these apply only where no label is required.
15) I need a fire rated exit device for a wood door - does the Hager 4501 or something else apply?
The Hager 4501 is recommended for use on appropriately reinforced doors and uses wood and machine screw fasteners. Among fire rated comparables, the Adams Rite 3700 Series 30 inch is the one specifically listed as wood door compatible; the Dexter ED1000-R-F-EO, Marks USA M9900F-36 and Orca OED85 36 inch fire rated devices are all listed as not wood door compatible.
16) Is there a night latch function alternative to the Hager 4501?
The Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 narrow design rim exit 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 itself is function 1 exit only, with a door thickness allowance up to 3 inch standard but 2-1/2 inch when a night latch is used.
17) What finishes does the Hager 4501 exit device come in for matching other doors in a building?
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 is the usual match for commercial openings; 626 satin chrome is the common match to older satin chrome hardware sets.
18) How much does the Hager 4501 project off the door face?
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 hold-open or wall stop sits close to the push bar.
19) What fasteners come with the Hager 4501 and do I need thru-bolts?
Wood and machine screws are supplied, which covers both hollow metal and wood door mounting. Thru-bolts are used where the door construction calls for them rather than surface screws, and Hager notes the device should be applied to appropriately reinforced doors. Standard zinc end cap is included.
20) Which rim exit devices besides the Hager 4501 offer hex key dogging?
The Design Hardware 1000R 33 inch heavy duty and 2000R 33 inch standard duty rim devices both include hex key dogging, as does the Stanley Security QED200 Series Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile device. Hex key dogging is standard on the Hager 4501 on panic rated devices, with cylinder dogging offered as an option.
