Hager 4701 RIM F 48 ALM – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What comes in the box with a Hager 4701 exit device, and what do I still need to buy?
The 4701 is packaged with thru-bolts, wood and machine screws, and the slotted strike. What is not in the box is the outside trim and the rim cylinder, and both are ordered separately if the opening needs outside access. Hager's escutcheon trim is surface mounted with the locking mechanism inside the trim, which cuts door prep because it needs fewer holes through the leaf than a mortised trim.
2) Should I use a rim exit device or a surface vertical rod on a pair of doors?
A rim device like the Hager 4701 latches into a strike on the frame or on a mullion, so on a pair of doors it needs a removable mullion between the leaves. A surface vertical rod device latches at the head and the sill instead, which is how you secure a pair with a clear opening and no mullion. Hager's vertical rod devices in this family come standard for an 84 inch (2134 mm) opening, can be ordered for 96 inch (2438 mm), and take extension rods up to 120 inch (3048 mm). If the pair has to stay mullion free, the rim device is the wrong choice.
3) I need a rim exit device on a narrow stile aluminum storefront door, is the Hager 4701 right?
Wrong device for that opening. The 4701 is a standard duty commercial rim device for hollow metal, not a narrow stile unit. On aluminum storefront, look at narrow stile rim devices: the Adams Rite 8800 Series covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness, the Corbin Russwin ED4200 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Falcon 19-R is Grade 1 narrow stile exit only at 1-3/4 inch. If the storefront opening is also fire rated, the Adams Rite 3700 Series is the fire rated narrow stile option.
4) Which 48 inch rim exit devices look like the Hager 4701 but are not fire rated?
Several 48 inch rim devices are non fire rated and will not hold a label on a fire door. The Cal-Royal 5500 48 inch push bar device and A9820 48 inch device are Grade 2 and not fire rated. The DORMA 9300 Series 48 inch wide stile device is Grade 1 heavy duty for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors but not fire rated, and the Corbin Russwin ED3200 48 inch crossbar device is Grade 1 and not fire rated. The CRL Jackson 1095 Series 48 inch crossbar device is likewise not fire rated. The Hager 4701 is fire rated and Grade 1.
5) Which fire rated rim exit devices can go on a wood door instead of the Hager 4701?
The Hager 4701 is not wood door compatible. For a wood door with a fire rating, the Adams Rite 3700 Series 30 inch narrow stile rim device is listed as fire rated Grade 1 and wood door compatible. It is a narrow stile device with starwheel interlocking, so the door stile and any existing prep need to suit a narrow stile chassis rather than the wider Hager mounting.
6) Is the Dexter ED1000 rim exit device a substitute for the Hager 4701?
Only the fire rated version is. Dexter lists the ED1000 in two forms: the ED1000-R-F-EO is Grade 1 and fire rated, while the 3FT and 4FT ED1000-R-EO devices are Grade 1 but not fire rated. The Hager 4701 is fire rated and Grade 1, so on a labeled opening the ED1000-R-F-EO is the matching choice and the plain ED1000 exit only versions are not. None of the Dexter ED1000 devices are wood door compatible.
7) Does the Hager 4701 have to be ordered left or right hand?
No handing to specify. The 4701 rim device is non-handed, so one part number covers either swing and you can stock a single device across a building. That also means a stocked unit can be moved to whichever opening needs it.
8) What kind of cylinder does the Hager 4701 take if I want to key it?
A rim cylinder. The 4701 is set up for rim cylinder trim, which is the standard rim exit device cylinder format, so a locksmith keying a building can pull a rim cylinder in the facility's existing keyway and bring the device into the existing key system. The cylinder is not part of the device itself and is ordered separately along with the outside trim.
9) Can the Hager 4701 be dogged down so the door stays push-open during business hours?
The 4701 uses hex key dogging, meaning an allen wrench holds the pushbar depressed and the latch retracted for free push-pull traffic. Worth knowing before you plan a retail or school opening around it: on a fire rated opening the latch has to stay projected, so dogging is not permitted on a fire door regardless of the device having the feature. If you need scheduled hold-open on a rated opening, that comes from an electrified device and access control, not from dogging.
10) Will the Hager 4701 latch reliably into a slightly out of alignment frame strike?
Hager ships the 4700 Series with slotted strikes, so the strike can be shifted to line up with the latch during install instead of being redrilled. The latch itself is a dead locking stainless steel Pullman type latchbolt, which resists being loided once the door is closed. If your frame is already prepped for a different rim strike, the slotted strike gives you some adjustment range to reuse the existing holes.
11) Is the Hager 4701 exit device ADA compliant for an accessible egress door?
The 4701 complies with ANSI A117.1 for Accessible Buildings and Facilities. Combined with the touchpad style operation of a panic device, that means no tight grasping or twisting to exit, which is what the accessibility requirement is driving at on an egress door.
12) Is the Hager 4701 rated for a coastal or high wind opening?
It meets ANSI A250.13 Severe Windstorm Resistant Component requirements, which matters on exterior openings in hurricane and high wind zones where the hardware has to hold up as part of a windstorm rated assembly. Materials back that up: zinc, stainless steel, brass and bronze components with a stainless latchbolt.
13) Is the Hager 4701 heavy duty enough for a high traffic school or hospital exit?
The 4701 is a standard duty device carrying Grade 1 BHMA certification, positioned to give code compliant security and performance at economy pricing. That works for the majority of commercial egress openings. For a genuinely punishing opening, a main entry taking constant abuse, the comparables include extra heavy duty Grade 1 rim devices such as the Detex 10 Advantex Series in wide stile 36 inch and the Detex 40 Advantex narrow stile, and heavy duty Grade 1 units like the TownSteel ED1100 and the Dormakaba QED200. Note those are not fire rated where the spec calls for a rated opening.
14) Which rim exit device should be used instead of the Hager 4701 when the door needs access control release?
The Hager 4701 is a mechanical rim device with hex key dogging and a rim cylinder. For an opening tied into access control, the SDC S6136 Spectra is an electrified architectural rim device for 4 inch wide stile and 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, the Dormakaba E2103 is an electrified 36 inch rim device supplied with 4908A trim in classroom function, and the Securitron EMB is an electromechanical exit bar for 2-1/4 inch doors. None of the three is fire rated in the same way as the 4701, so an electrified device on a labeled opening needs its own fire listing confirmed.
15) Is an SDC exit bar the same thing as the Hager 4701 rim exit device?
No. The SDC MSB550 is a mechanical switch bar that releases an electromagnetic lock, and the SDC SureExit PSB560 is a pressure sense bar with tri-failsafe technology; both are 36 inch bars for narrow or wide stile doors and neither is fire rated. The Hager 4701 is a rim latching exit device with a Pullman type latchbolt, fire rated and Grade 1, so it does the latching itself rather than signaling a separate lock to release.
16) Does the Sargent 8800 fire rated exit device replace a Hager 4701 on a labeled door?
Not directly. The Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM is a fire rated Grade 1 wide stile rim device, but it is listed in dummy function with RX and MELR, meaning it is built for monitored and electrically released openings rather than a plain mechanical latching exit. The Hager 4701 is a fire rated Grade 1 rim device with hex key dogging and a rim cylinder prep. If the opening needs a mechanical fire rated latch, the Marks USA M9900F 48 inch is the closer match.
17) What rim exit devices are made for a 48 inch minimum door width like the Hager 4701?
The Sargent 2828 is a Grade 1 reversible 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 are wide stile and exit only. The Hager 4701 is factory cut for 48 inch doors and is non-handed, with the recommended overall length equal to the door width minus four inches.
18) What finishes does the Hager 4701 rim exit device come in, and which one matches existing hardware?
Five: 605 bright brass, 630 satin stainless steel, aluminum, black, and dark bronze. For a building already standardized on commercial hardware, 630 satin stainless is the usual match on hollow metal openings, and dark bronze or black are the common pick where storefront and entry hardware are dark anodized. The 605 bright brass is there for older brass finished interiors.
19) What is a lower cost rim exit device than the Hager 4701 for a non-labeled interior door?
Where no fire label is involved, the Cal-Royal 5000 36 inch touch bar device and the Cal-Royal 5500 48 inch push bar device are heavy duty Grade 2 chassis rim devices, and the Design Hardware 2000R is a 33 inch standard duty rim device with hex key dogging, matching the Hager 4701 hex key dogging arrangement. All three are non fire rated and not for wood doors, so they only suit an opening with no fire rating requirement.
20) Which rim exit device accepts lever trim as an alternative to the Hager 4701?
The Corbin Russwin ED5200 is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device listed exit only and accepts trim, and the ED4200 is a Grade 1 narrow stile version also listed exit only and accepts trim; both are for 1-3/4 inch doors and neither is fire rated. The Hager 4701 uses surface mounted escutcheon trim with the locking mechanism built inside, which reduces the number of holes in the door.
