PDQ 6312123EXT626 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the PDQ 631212-3EXT rod extension actually do?
It is a 3 foot top rod extension for PDQ surface vertical rod exit devices, used to extend the upper rod run so the device reaches the top latch on a taller than standard door. It is a genuine PDQ part, number 631212-3EXT, and it is a rod component only, not a complete device.
2) Which PDQ exit devices does this top rod extension fit?
It is a factory part for PDQ 6300 Series wide stile and 6400 Series narrow stile exit devices in surface vertical rod configuration. If the device on your door is a rim, concealed vertical rod or mortise PDQ device, a top rod extension is not the part you need.
3) I have a 10 foot tall door with a PDQ vertical rod device. Is a rod extension how I handle that?
Yes, on surface vertical rod devices the top rod is what has to grow for an oversized door, and the 631212-3EXT adds 3 feet to that top rod run. Order it in the finish matching the installed device so the exposed rod does not stand out.
4) What finishes is the PDQ 631212-3EXT available in?
Seven: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 613E dark oxidized satin bronze, 622 flat black, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome and 630 satin stainless steel. The finish code is appended to the part number, so the bright brass piece orders as 6312123EXT605 and the satin stainless as 6312123EXT630. Match the code already on your device rather than matching by eye, since 625 and 626 look similar in some lighting.
5) Can I service a PDQ exit device instead of replacing the whole unit?
Yes. PDQ supplies factory replacement and conversion parts across the 6300 and 6400 Series, including head chassis assemblies, latchbolts, rods and connectors, push bars, covers and end caps, strikes and shims, dogging and alarm conversion kits, screwpacks and signal switches. The 631212-3EXT is the 3 foot top rod extension within that range, so a rod change does not mean a new device.
6) Will adding this extension let me convert my PDQ device to cylinder dogging or add an alarm?
No. The 631212-3EXT only extends the top rod. Cylinder dogging and alarm functions on an installed PDQ 6300 or 6400 device come from separate factory conversion kits in the same parts range.
7) Is this PDQ rod extension suitable for a residential door?
It is a commercial door hardware part, intended for panic and fire exit devices on commercial openings. Residential doors rarely carry a surface vertical rod exit device at all.
