Kawneer KW133621-17 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Kawneer KW133621-17 work on a right-hand door?
No. The KW133621-17 is factory-configured Left-Hand/Right-Hand Reverse. Handing on a concealed exit device is set at the factory and is not field-reversible on this part, so for a right-hand or left-hand reverse opening you need the opposite-hand version of the 1686 device. Determine handing from outside the door: if the hinges are on your left and the door swings away from you, that is left hand.
2) Can I use a concealed exit device like the Kawneer 1686 on a door that was not prepped for one?
Not without reworking the door. A concealed device runs its mechanism inside the door rail, so the leaf has to be factory-prepped for it. On an existing aluminum door with no concealed prep, a surface-applied rim or surface vertical rod device is the practical retrofit. The 1686 concealed style is the right choice when the door is already prepped and you want the clean architectural face.
3) Is this an exit device part or a complete panic device?
The KW133621-17 is supplied as a genuine Kawneer service part for the 1686 concealed exit device series, not as a full new opening package. It is the replacement device component used to restore egress function on an existing 1686 installation, so any strikes, rods, or trim already in the door and frame stay in place unless they are damaged.
4) Will the clear aluminum finish match our existing Kawneer storefront doors?
Clear aluminum is Kawneer's standard mill-look anodized appearance and it is the finish that matches most Kawneer aluminum storefront and curtainwall framing. If the rest of your entrance is dark bronze or black anodized, this device will stand out, so order the finish that matches the frame you already have.
5) What do I need to confirm before ordering a Kawneer 1686 concealed exit device replacement?
Three things decide the part number: the device length (this one is the 36 inch), the handing (this one is Left-Hand/Right-Hand Reverse), and the finish (clear aluminum here). Pull the existing device or check the Kawneer job number on the entrance before ordering, because a mismatch on any one of those three means the device will not drop into the prepped door.
6) Is the Kawneer 1686 device suitable for high-traffic commercial egress doors?
Yes, it is classified for commercial use and intended for high-traffic egress openings, which is why it shows up in office buildings, schools, healthcare entrances, retail, and municipal buildings running Kawneer aluminum entrances.
