Kawneer KW028279 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the Kawneer KW028279 and where does it go in an exit device?
The KW028279 is a spring lock washer used in Kawneer Style U exit device assemblies. It sits under a fastener to hold tension and keep the screw from backing out as the device gets cycled. It is a genuine Kawneer service part, so it goes back in the same place the original washer came out of.
2) Will the KW028279 washer fit any exit device, or only Kawneer Style U?
Style U only. Kawneer builds the KW028279 specifically for Style U exit device configurations as a like-for-like replacement, so identify the device style before ordering. If the device on your door is a different Kawneer style or another brand entirely, this is not the washer for it.
3) My Style U exit device keeps loosening up. Is replacing the lock washer the fix?
A worn spring lock washer is a common cause. Once the washer loses its spring, the fastener no longer stays under tension and repeated push-bar cycles work it loose. Fitting a fresh KW028279 restores that retention and vibration resistance. If the screw threads or the tapped hole are damaged as well, the washer alone will not hold it.
4) Do I get the screw or other hardware with the KW028279?
The KW028279 is the spring lock washer as a single service component, ordered on its own. If the mating screw or the part it clamps is also worn, order those Kawneer service part numbers separately.
5) What part number do I give purchasing for the Kawneer Style U spring lock washer?
Kawneer model KW028279. That is the number to put on the PO for the Style U spring lock washer, and it is the OEM service part rather than a generic hardware-store washer, which matters if your maintenance standard requires original components.
6) Is this a commercial part or something for a residential door?
Strictly commercial. The KW028279 is catalogued as a commercial door hardware service part, and Kawneer exit devices are aluminum storefront and entrance hardware rather than residential door hardware. Typical use is offices, schools, healthcare, retail, warehouses, multi-tenant residential buildings and government facilities.
