Kawneer KW133620CD-17 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Kawneer 1686 KW133620CD-17 exit device work on a left-hand door?
No. The KW133620CD-17 is built for right-hand / left-hand reverse (RH/LHR) openings only, and the handing is set at the factory so there is no field reversal. If your door swings the other way, you need the opposite-handed version of the 1686 device instead. Stand outside the opening: if the hinges are on your right and the door pulls toward you, or the hinges are on your left and the door pushes away, RH/LHR is correct.
2) What door width does the Kawneer KW133620CD-17 concealed exit device fit?
It is sized for 36 inch doors. Kawneer concealed devices are cut to the leaf width, so a 36 inch device will not drop into a narrower or wider Kawneer leaf without the correct part for that size. Measure the actual door leaf, not the rough opening, before ordering.
3) Can I use the Kawneer 1686 concealed exit device on a wood or hollow metal door?
No. The 1686 is a concealed device made to integrate with Kawneer architectural aluminum door and storefront systems, and it relies on the Kawneer door rail prep to house it. For a wood or hollow metal opening you want a surface-applied rim or vertical rod panic device instead, not this part.
4) What does cylinder dogging do on this Kawneer exit device, and do I need to buy a cylinder separately?
Cylinder dogging lets you hold the latch retracted with a key, so the door pushes open freely during business hours without the panic bar cycling every time. On the KW133620CD-17 that function is built in. The dogging cylinder itself is a separate keyed cylinder that gets installed into the device, so plan on sourcing the cylinder in your keyway if you do not have one to reuse from the door you are servicing.
5) Is this a genuine Kawneer replacement part or an aftermarket exit device?
It is a factory Kawneer service part for the 1686 concealed exit device series, supplied as a replacement component rather than an aftermarket substitute. That matters on Kawneer aluminum entrances because the device is concealed within the door rail and is machined to Kawneer's own prep; an aftermarket bar will not pick up the same prep or sightline.
6) Why choose a concealed exit device like the Kawneer 1686 over a surface-mounted panic bar?
Concealed is about sightlines. The 1686 tucks the device into the door so the glass entrance stays clean, which is why it shows up on architectural aluminum storefronts. The tradeoff is service: a surface rim or vertical rod device can be swapped or adjusted without pulling the door apart, and it fits a much wider range of door materials. If the opening is a Kawneer aluminum entrance and appearance drives the spec, concealed wins; if it is a back-of-house door, a surface device is the simpler call.
7) Will the Clear Aluminum finish on this device match the rest of my Kawneer storefront doors?
Clear Aluminum is the factory finish here and it is the standard mill-clear anodized look used across Kawneer aluminum door and frame systems, so it coordinates with a typical clear-anodized entrance. If your building is dark bronze or black anodized, this one will stand out and you should specify the matching finish version instead.
8) Is the Kawneer 1686 concealed exit device rated for heavy public traffic?
It is a commercial device, built for high-traffic commercial openings rather than residential use. Typical placements are office building entrances, retail storefronts, schools with aluminum framed egress doors, healthcare facilities, government buildings and multi-tenant properties, which is the traffic class a property manager or MRO buyer is usually specifying against.
