Kawneer KW133649 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the Kawneer KW133649 conversion part actually do to a 1686 or 1786 exit device?
The KW133649 converts a Kawneer 1686 or 1786 Series exit device from Manual Exit operation to MEL (Motor Electric) operation. You are not buying a whole new device, you are buying the Kawneer service part that adds the motorized electric latch retraction function to a device already hanging on the door.
2) Do I need a power supply with the Kawneer KW133649, or is that included?
A power supply is required and it is a separate order. The KW133649 is specified for use with the Kawneer 05419 NP1 Power Supply, which has to be installed for the MEL function to work. Budget the conversion part plus the 05419 NP1 on the same job, otherwise the device will not operate after the swap.
3) I manage a building with several Kawneer 1686 storefront doors. Can I add access control without replacing the exit devices?
Yes, if the devices are 1686 or 1786 Series. The KW133649 converts an existing manual device to Motor Electric operation, so the rail and chassis stay on the door and you add electrified latch retraction for access control integration. You will need one conversion part per device plus the 05419 NP1 power supply to drive them.
4) Is the KW133649 a genuine Kawneer part or an aftermarket copy?
It is a genuine Kawneer OEM service part, sold as a replacement component for 1686/1786 Series hardware. That matters on Kawneer aluminum entrances, where the device chassis and rail are dimensionally tight and aftermarket substitutes are not made.
5) Can I use the KW133649 on a residential door?
No. This is commercial-only hardware, intended for Kawneer exit devices on commercial openings such as office, education, healthcare, retail, and government buildings. There is no residential application for a motorized exit device conversion of this type.
6) Is the KW133649 a repair part or an upgrade part?
Both uses apply. Kawneer catalogues it as a replacement service part, and it is used either to restore MEL function on a device being serviced or to upgrade a manual 1686/1786 device to motorized electric operation for the first time.
