Orca Hardware OED5548-AL – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can this Orca exit device go on a pair of doors, and what stile width do I need?
It works on double door applications with a minimum stile of 3-1/2 inches. Below that stile width the chassis will not land, so a narrow stile aluminum door needs a true narrow stile device instead, such as the Corbin Russwin ED4200 or the TownSteel ED3700.
2) Does the Orca OED55 rim exit device need a mortise prep or does it drop into a standard door cutout?
It uses the 161 ANSI cutout, which is the standard 2-1/8 inch bored prep found on most commercial metal doors, and it mounts with standard thru-bolts. That means it can usually go onto an existing prepped leaf without cutting a mortise pocket.
3) Is the Orca OED55 exit-only, or can I add outside trim for re-entry?
As supplied it is exit only, meaning there is no outside operation. Outside trims are available for the series if you need pull or key access from the corridor side, so specify the trim separately when the opening needs re-entry.
4) Is the Orca OED55 a Grade 1 panic device suitable for a school or hospital corridor?
It is Grade 1 and UL Listed, and the touch bar is built for institutions, schools, universities and commercial buildings. The LBR configuration deletes the bottom strike, which keeps the threshold clear for wheelchairs, stretchers and carts, a real consideration in healthcare corridors.
5) The Orca OED55 is not rated for wood doors - what rim exit device works on a wood door?
The Orca OED55 is listed as not wood door compatible. Among rim devices that are, the Adams Rite 3700 Series 30-inch narrow stile device is fire rated, Grade 1, and wood door compatible, and the Adams Rite 8700 Series 30-inch narrow stile device is Grade 1 and wood door compatible without a fire rating.
6) What is the closest equivalent to the Orca OED55 48-inch rim exit device from another brand?
The Orca OED55 in the 48-inch size is a non-fire-rated, exit-only rim device with hex key dogging. Two close equivalents in the same 48-inch, exit-only, non-fire-rated build are the Dormakaba 9300 Series 48-inch wide stile panic rim device, which is Grade 1 and lists a 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range, and the Dexter ED1000 Series 4FT Grade 1 rim exit device. The Cal-Royal 5500 is also a 48-inch rim device with a push bar and a non-fire-rated Grade 2 chassis.
7) I need a fire rated 48-inch rim exit device - can I use the Orca OED55?
No. The Orca OED55 48-inch device is listed as not fire rated. For a labeled opening at that width, the Marks USA M9900F 48-inch rim panic device is fire rated and exit only. In smaller widths, the Marks USA M9900F 36-inch and the Arrow FS1250 32-inch rim device are also fire rated, as is the Dexter ED1000 Series fire rated Grade 1 rim exit device.
8) My aluminum storefront has a narrow stile - is the OED55 the right device or should I use something else?
The Orca OED55 calls for a minimum 3-1/2 inch stile in double door applications, so a tighter storefront stile needs a purpose-built narrow stile device. Narrow stile rim options include the TownSteel ED3700 36-inch Grade 1, the Corbin Russwin ED4200 36-inch Grade 1 with a 1-3/4 inch door thickness, the Falcon 19-R 36-inch Grade 1 exit only, and the Adams Rite EX88 interlocking narrow stile rim device.
9) Do I have to order the Orca OED55 left or right hand?
No handing to specify. The OED55 is non-handed, so one device covers either leaf. That is useful for a property manager stocking spares across a building where some openings swing left and some right.
10) Can I hold the door in a push-pull state during business hours with this Orca device?
Yes. The OED55 comes with hex key dogging, so you depress the touch bar and set it with the hex wrench to keep the latch retracted for daytime traffic, then release it for after-hours security. Keep the wrench on the key ring; there is no cylinder dogging option stated.
11) What else could I use instead of the Orca OED55 on a 48 inch opening?
Same-size alternatives we carry include the Cal-Royal A9820 48 inch rim device, the Dormakaba 9300 48 inch wide stile device, which lists a 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range, and the Corbin Russwin ED3200, a 48 inch crossbar rather than touch bar device. If the opening needs a crossbar look rather than a pushpad, the CRL Jackson 1095 Series 48 inch crossbar device is the closer match.
12) What is a Grade 2 alternative to the Orca OED55 rim exit device?
The Orca OED55 carries a Grade 1, UL listed rating. If the specification allows a Grade 2 chassis, Cal-Royal offers the 5000 in 36 inch and the 5500 in 48 inch, both heavy duty and non-fire-rated with a Grade 2 chassis, with the 5500 matching the OED55's 48-inch width.
13) Which rim exit devices besides the Orca OED55 use hex key dogging?
The Orca OED55 ships with hex key dogging. Design Hardware offers the 1000R 33-inch heavy duty rim device and the 2000R 33-inch standard duty rim device, both with hex key dogging, and the Stanley Security QED200 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim device with hex-key dogging.
14) Is the CRL Jackson 1095 48-inch panic device a drop-in substitute for the Orca OED55 48-inch?
Not a drop-in. Both are 48-inch, non-fire-rated, exit-only rim panic devices, but the Orca OED55 is a touch bar design while the CRL Jackson 1095 Series 48-inch is a crossbar wide stile device, so the push hardware, mounting points and appearance differ. If a touch bar look is wanted from CRL Jackson, the 1295 Series is a non-handed push pad wide stile rim panic device for 1-3/4 inch doors.
15) I need an electrified or access-controlled exit bar instead of the Orca OED55 - what are the options?
The Orca OED55 is a mechanical exit-only device. For access control, the SDC Spectra S6136 is a 36-inch electrified architectural rim exit device with a 4 inch wide stile for 1-3/4 to 2 inch doors, the SDC MSB550 36-inch mechanical switch bar releases an electromagnetic lock, and the Securitron EMB is an electromechanical exit bar for 2-1/4 inch doors. The Dormakaba E2103 with 4908A trim is an electrified 36-inch rim device in classroom function.
16) What should I order instead of the Orca OED55 48-inch if my door is only 36 inches wide?
The Orca OED55 also comes in a 36-inch size, and there are several Grade 1 36-inch peers for a non-fire-rated exit-only opening: the Corbin Russwin ED2200 36-inch wide stile exit only, the TownSteel ED1100 36-inch heavy duty wide stile, the Detex 10 Advantex 36-inch extra heavy duty wide stile, and the Dexter ED1000 3FT.
17) Is the Hager 4501 a substitute for the Orca OED55 rim device?
No. The Orca OED55 is a rim device that latches into a strike on the frame, while the Hager 4501 Series 36-inch is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device with a wide stile pushpad, which latches top and bottom and requires door prep for the rods. The Hager 4601 is the narrow stile concealed vertical rod version. For a rim device from Hager, the 4701 Series 36-inch standard duty rim device with Grade 1 BHMA certification is the like-for-like type.
18) Which rim exit devices are rated for door thicknesses over 1-3/4 inches, since the Orca OED55 is built for 1-3/4 inch doors?
The Orca OED55 states a standard door thickness of 1-3/4 inches. For thicker doors, the Dormakaba 9300 Series 48-inch wide stile device lists 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, the Adams Rite 8800 Series 30-inch narrow stile device lists the same 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch range, and the SDC S6136 covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch.
19) I need a night latch or keyed-outside function rather than the exit-only Orca OED55 - what should I look at?
The Orca OED55 is an exit-only device, with outside trim available separately. If the function is to be built into the device, the Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device in night latch function, and the Detex V4003A/03AN is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device supplied with night latch trim.
20) What finishes does the Orca OED55 48 inch rim device come in?
Two: satin stainless steel and aluminum. Satin stainless generally blends with 630 hardware on a hollow metal opening, while aluminum matches clear anodized storefront trim. The rail and cap material is brass, stainless steel or steel, with an aluminum substrate on the device.
