PDQ 429036 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Which PDQ exit devices does the 429036 rim strike fit?
The 429036 rim strike is a genuine PDQ part made for the 4200 Series exit devices, specifically the 4200R rim models. It is the strike half, so the device itself stays on the door and the strike mounts on the frame stop. It is not for the 4200V surface vertical rod devices, which use their own top and bottom SVR strikes.
2) Can the PDQ 429036 rim strike be used on a fire rated door opening?
Yes. The 429036 is the fire and panic rated rim strike for the PDQ 4200 Series, so it is the correct strike for both panic-only and fire rated 4200R installations. Watch the other parts in the family though: the 4200 vertical rod extensions and the bottom rod are not for fire rated devices.
3) What does the 2-3/4 inch backset on the PDQ 429036 rim strike mean for my door?
The 2-3/4 inch figure is the backset the strike is cut for, meaning it suits a 4200R rim device prepped at a 2-3/4 inch backset. PDQ builds rim strikes to match the device backset, so if the existing device on your door is a different backset the 429036 is the wrong strike and you need the matching one. Measure from the door edge to the center of the latch prep before ordering.
4) My PDQ 4200R exit device won't latch anymore. Do I replace the whole device or just the strike?
If the latch itself still throws and retracts, the strike is usually the cheaper fix. The 429036 is sold as an individual replacement part for the 4200 Series, so a bent, worn, or wrong-backset rim strike can be swapped without touching the device on the door. Property managers keeping a fleet of 4200R openings often stock a couple of these rather than spare devices.
5) Is the PDQ 429036 strike for a single door or a pair of doors?
The 429036 is the rim strike, which mounts to the frame stop for a single door or for a 4200R device latching into a removable mullion. Pairs of doors without a mullion use different hardware: PDQ offers a separate double door strike, or the 4200V surface vertical rod configuration with its own top and bottom strikes.
6) What else might I need when replacing a PDQ 4200R rim device or its strike?
Beyond the strike, the 4200 Series parts range covers latch and strike filler plates, trim back plates, an adapter plate, a universal glass bead kit and the dogging key. If you are moving off older trim, note that the trim back plates pair with a narrow escutcheon to cover a 161 prep, and the latch filler plate covers a 160 or 161 prep, which is what you want when a cylindrical lock hole is left behind.
7) Does the PDQ 429036 rim strike come with shims?
No. Shims are supplied with the 4200 Series SVR top and bottom strikes, which include two 1/16 inch shims for adjusting rod engagement. The 429036 rim strike is the frame-mounted strike for rim devices and does not include them.
8) Is the PDQ 429036 a commercial-grade part or for residential use?
It is a commercial part. The 429036 belongs to PDQ's 4200 Series exit device line, which is commercial door hardware used on fire and panic rated egress openings in institutional, multi-family and retail buildings.
