Kawneer KW028848-17 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the Kawneer KW028848-17 and what does it do on an exit device?
The KW028848-17 is a pivot reinforcing fastener, a genuine Kawneer service part used to reinforce the pivot point within a Kawneer exit device assembly. It is a single component, not a complete device, so it is ordered when you are repairing or refurbishing hardware already on the door rather than replacing the whole assembly.
2) Can I order just the pivot fastener instead of a whole new Kawneer exit device?
Yes. That's the point of the KW028848-17. It is sold as an individual OEM service part so a maintenance crew can repair the pivot area of an existing Kawneer exit device assembly and keep the rest of the hardware in place, rather than pulling and replacing the full assembly.
3) Is the KW028848-17 suitable for a high traffic commercial entrance, or is it a residential part?
It's a commercial-grade part. Kawneer builds these service components to the same standards as the original hardware, and the KW028848-17 is intended for commercial exit device assemblies in offices, schools, healthcare, retail, warehouses, multi-tenant residential buildings and government facilities. There is no residential-rated version of it.
4) Will the clear aluminum finish on this Kawneer pivot fastener match my storefront doors?
Clear aluminum is the finish, which coordinates with standard commercial aluminum door hardware and framing, so it blends on typical clear-anodized storefront and entrance systems. It is the only finish offered on the KW028848-17, so if your openings are dark bronze or black, expect a visible difference on any part of the fastener that sits exposed.
5) Will a generic fastener from a hardware store work in place of the Kawneer KW028848-17?
Use the OEM part. The KW028848-17 is manufactured to Kawneer's own specifications for drop-in fit in compatible Kawneer assemblies, and pivot reinforcement is a structural point on the door. A substitute that is close but not identical can leave the pivot loose or the device binding.
6) How do I make sure I'm ordering the right Kawneer service part number?
Order by the model marking: KW028848-17. Kawneer service parts run in long, similar-looking numbers, and the trailing suffix distinguishes variants within a family, so match the full number against the parts breakdown for your specific exit device assembly before you buy.
