Frequently Asked Questions

When do I need a surface vertical rod exit device instead of a rim device?
Use a surface vertical rod device like the 6300V on a pair of wide stile doors with no mullion between the leaves. Rods run up the face of each door to strikes at the head and, optionally, the floor, since there is no fixed center post for a rim latch to engage.

What is the difference between the 6300V and 6300C?
Both are wide stile vertical rod devices for pairs of doors without a mullion. The 6300V mounts its rods on the face of the door, while the 6300C conceals them inside the door.

What door sizes does the 6300V fit?
It comes in 24", 36" and 48" widths for doors 1-3/4" to 2" thick, up to 10' tall on panic applications, and needs a minimum 3-1/2" stile.
