Kawneer KW133621CD-40 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Kawneer KW133621CD-40 exit device fit a 36 inch aluminum storefront door?
The KW133621CD-40 is the 1686 concealed vertical rod exit device built for 36 inch door applications, so a 36 inch wide aluminum door leaf is exactly what it is sized for. It is a genuine Kawneer service part intended to go back into Kawneer aluminum door and framing assemblies. If your leaf is a different width, you need the matching width device rather than cutting this one down.
2) What handing is the Kawneer 1686 KW133621CD-40 and can I flip it in the field?
It ships pre-configured left hand / right hand reverse (LHR), which covers a door that pulls from the left or pushes open to the right. Kawneer builds the handing in, so there is no field reversal step. For the opposite swing you need to order the right hand / left hand reverse version instead. Stand outside the opening and note the hinge side before ordering.
3) What does cylinder dogging do on this exit device, and do I get the cylinder with it?
Cylinder dogging lets you hold the latch retracted with a key turn, so the door pushes free during business hours and relatches when you key it back. That is the difference from hex-key dogging, which needs an Allen wrench. The KW133621CD-40 is supplied as the exit device; the dogging cylinder itself is a separate keyed item, so plan to supply a cylinder keyed into your building system.
4) Concealed vertical rod versus rim exit device on a storefront door, which should I use?
The 1686 is a concealed vertical rod device, so the rods run inside the door stile and latch at the top and bottom rather than into a strike on the frame edge. You get a clean door face and two-point latching, which is why it suits glass front and curtainwall openings and pairs without a mullion. A rim device is simpler to service and cheaper to replace, but the rod and hardware are exposed. If the door is already prepped for concealed rods, stay with the concealed device; the prep is not interchangeable.
5) Is this a genuine Kawneer part or an aftermarket replacement for a 1686 device?
It is a Kawneer service part, designated as a replacement component for existing Kawneer 1686 exit device installations. That matters on Kawneer doors because the rod lengths, prep and finish are matched to the factory assembly, so you are not chasing tolerance problems on a door you cannot re-machine.
6) Will the dark bronze finish match the other Kawneer storefront doors in my building?
The dark bronze is factory applied and intended to line up with Kawneer aluminum storefront and curtainwall framing, which is the standard dark bronze used across those systems. For a property manager standardizing a lobby or a row of entrances, ordering the same dark bronze device keeps the push bars consistent with the existing frames.
7) Is the Kawneer 1686 KW133621CD-40 suitable for high traffic commercial egress, or is it residential hardware?
Commercial only. It is built for high-traffic egress openings such as office lobbies, schools, healthcare corridors and retail entrances running Kawneer door systems. There is no residential version of this device.
