PDQ 6400CF Narrow Stile Concealed Vertical Rod Exit Device, Fire Rated
Grade 1 Narrow Stile Concealed Vertical Rod Exit Device
The PDQ 6400C is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod exit device for narrow stile doors, suited to narrow stile double door applications. Its top and bottom rods run inside the door instead of up the face, for a rod-free appearance and a narrow frame profile. It is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1.
A cast chassis and heavy-duty flush end caps add strength and resist prying, a cushion spring keeps the push bar quiet, and a compression spring returns the bar smoothly each time. The top latch is a 3/4" stainless steel toggle and the bottom is a 5/8" travel drop bolt. It is offered as a panic rated device and as a fire rated device (6400CF), in 24", 36" and 48" door widths.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose the 6400C over the 6400V on a narrow stile door pair?
Choose the 6400C when the project needs a rod-free appearance, since it hides the vertical rods inside the door. The surface mounted 6400V runs the rods visibly up the face. Both fit the same stile widths.
Is the 6400C fire rated?
The fire rated 6400CF is ETL listed to UL 10C for fire exit hardware up to 3 hours, covering door pairs up to 8' x 8' (single or double egress). The panic model is ETL listed to UL 305.
Does the 6400C support keyed dogging?
Yes. Hex key dogging is standard on panic devices, with cylinder dogging available so the device can be held retracted with a keyed cylinder instead of a hex key. Dogging is not available on fire labeled or 24" devices.
