BEST 2102 630 48 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the BEST 2102 rim exit device fit a 2-inch thick door?
Yes. The 2102 Series rim device covers doors 1-3/4 inch through 2-1/4 inch thick, so a 2 inch leaf is inside the range. It is sized for openings up to 4 feet wide, and the 48 inch device is the one to use on a full 4-0 leaf. Wide stile only, and it is not rated for wood doors.
2) What does the "dummy" function mean on the BEST 2102 exit device?
Dummy means the outside trim is fixed, it does not retract the latch. The 2102 is non-keyed, so there is no cylinder and no outside entry through the trim. People exit by pushing the touchbar from inside; anyone outside needs another way in, or you need a keyed or lever-operated function instead.
3) Can I use a BEST 2102 rim device on a pair of doors without a mullion?
No. A rim device latches into a strike on the frame or mullion at the lock edge, so a pair with no center mullion gives it nothing to catch. Add a removable mullion, or go to a vertical rod device that latches at the head and sill, such as the Hager 4501 concealed vertical rod with a wide stile pushpad.
4) Is the BEST 2102 exit device fire rated?
The standard 2102 is non-rated. A fire-rated build is selectable when you order, and rating is a required choice, so pick Fire-Rated if the opening is in a rated assembly. One thing to know about the fire-rated route: fire exit hardware cannot be dogged down, so a fire build will not hold the latch retracted.
5) Will the BEST 2100 Series rim device drop into the holes left by another brand's exit device?
2100 Series devices are built to retrofit into other manufacturers' mounting hole locations, which is the main reason they get specified on upgrade work. Use the BEST template to confirm against the existing prep before you drill, since the device still needs a wide stile and a 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch leaf.
6) Will the BEST 2102 work with my card reader or access control trim?
It is set up for it. The center driven cam accepts the tailpiece from access control products, provided that product delivers at least 50 degrees of rotation. Electrified device options are also orderable: electric latch retraction, motorized latch retraction, latchbolt or touchbar monitoring switches (single or double), delayed egress, and a wireless access management option.
7) My opening is a narrow stile aluminum storefront door. Is the BEST 2102 the right device?
No. The BEST 2102 is built for wide stile doors. For narrow stile storefront openings, look at the Adams Rite 8800 Series narrow stile rim device, which lists the same 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range, the Corbin Russwin ED4200 Grade 1 narrow stile rim device, or the TownSteel ED3700 Grade 1 narrow stile rim device.
8) I need a 48 inch wide stile rim device that actually latches, not a dummy. What should I order instead?
The BEST 2102 is a dummy function device, so it does not latch as an exit-only panic. For a true 48 inch latching rim device, the Dormakaba 9300 Series is a 48 inch wide stile exit-only panic rim device, Grade 1 heavy duty, for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a 48 inch Grade 1 wide stile crossbar rim device, and Sargent 2828 is a Grade 1 reversible wide stile rim device for 48 inch minimum door width.
9) What 48 inch fire rated rim exit device can I use where a fire label is required?
The Marks USA M9900F is offered as a 48 inch fire rated rim panic exit device, exit only, with a panic protector end cap. Other fire rated rim options include the Dexter ED1000 Series fire rated rim device and the Orca OED85 Series 36 inch fire rated rim device. The BEST 2102 48 inch wide stile device is ordered with a Rating selection of Non-Rated or Fire-Rated.
10) Will the 2102 latch into my existing rim strike?
The 2102 uses a stainless steel deadlocking latchbolt with 3/4 inch throw. Any rim strike cut for a standard 3/4 inch rim latch will take it, but check the strike's vertical centerline against the new device height, since the latch position shifts if the touchbar sits at a different elevation than the old one.
11) Do I have to specify handing for the BEST 2102?
The device itself is field reversible for all functions and trims and ships RHRB as standard, so you do not need to hand the device. Handing does matter if you select lever trim, where you call out RHR or LHR on the order.
12) What trim options can I order with the BEST 2102 exit device?
Nine choices: 1702A, 1702B and 1702C pull trims in A, B and C grips, 4902A, 4902B, 4902C, 4902D and 4902K lever trims, or None if you want the device only. Remember the function is dummy, so lever trim here is fixed rather than latch-retracting.
13) Can I hold the BEST 2102 unlocked during business hours?
Yes, on a non-rated build. Dogging comes three ways: cylinder dogging, hex key dogging, or less dogging if you never want the bar held down. Hex dogging is the usual pick for a maintenance-held opening, cylinder dogging when you want the key system to control it.
14) Is there an exterior-rated version of this exit device for a door that gets weather?
Yes. Order the 626W satin chrome weatherized finish, and pair it with the weatherized monitoring options if you are switching the bar: WTS for a single touchbar monitoring switch or WTDS for the double switch.
15) What is a comparable 48-inch wide stile rim exit device if the BEST 2102 does not suit?
For a non-rated 48 inch wide stile rim device, the DORMA 9300 Series is the closest match on fit, listing the same 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range at Grade 1. The Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a 48 inch Grade 1 wide stile crossbar rim device at 1-3/4 inch thickness, and the CRL Jackson 1095 Series is a 48 inch wide stile crossbar panic. If the opening needs a fire rating instead, the Marks USA M9900F 48 inch rim device is fire rated.
16) Is the BEST 2102 heavy enough for a high-traffic school or hospital exit?
It is a commercial device, ANSI/BHMA certified to ANSI 156.3 Grade 1 and UL Listed for panic and fire exit hardware. Cover, touchbar, device channel, filler and end cap are heavy wrought brass, bronze or stainless steel. That is the specification level typically written for education and healthcare egress doors.
17) Is there a lighter-duty or Grade 2 alternative to the BEST 2102 for a low-traffic 48 inch opening?
The BEST 2102 is an ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 wide stile device. If the spec allows a Grade 2 chassis, the Cal-Royal 5500 is a 48 inch wide rim exit device with a push bar carrying a Grade 2 rating and heavy duty construction, and the Cal-Royal A9820 is a 48 inch exit-only rim device also listed Grade 2 heavy duty. Design Hardware 2000R is a standard duty wide stile rim device with hex key dogging in a 33 inch size.
18) Is an SDC pressure sense bar or switch bar a substitute for the BEST 2102?
No. The SDC PSB560 Series pressure sense bar and the SDC MSB550 Series mechanical switch bar are electrified release bars for narrow or wide stile doors that signal an electromagnetic lock rather than carry a latchbolt. The BEST 2102 is a mechanical rim exit device family with a stainless steel deadlocking latchbolt. If you need electrified function on the BEST device itself, options such as electric latch retraction, motorized latch retraction, delayed egress, and latchbolt or touchbar monitoring switches are selectable.
19) My drawing calls for concealed vertical rod, not rim. What replaces the BEST 2102?
A rim device like the BEST 2102 latches to a surface strike on the frame and is not interchangeable with a vertical rod device. For concealed vertical rod on a wide stile pushpad door, the Hager 4501 Series is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod exit device; the Hager 4601 Series is the narrow stile equivalent.
20) Is the Arrow 3880 or Dexter ED1000 a drop-in for a 48 inch BEST 2102 opening?
The Arrow 3880 Series wide stile pushpad rim bar is a 30 inch exit-only device listing a 1-3/4 inch door thickness, so it does not cover a 48 inch opening or the 2-1/4 inch thickness the BEST 2102 handles. Dexter offers the ED1000 Series in a 4FT Grade 1 rim device that suits a 48 inch door width, though it is an exit-only configuration rather than a dummy trim device.
21) What finishes does the BEST 2102 come in to match the rest of my building?
Ten: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 oil-rubbed satin bronze, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome, 626W weatherized satin chrome, 628 satin aluminum, 630 satin stainless steel, and 690 statuary dark bronze. 630 and 628 are the two most commonly standardized across commercial openings.
22) Which wide stile rim devices besides the BEST 2102 accept exterior lever trim?
The BEST 2102 is offered with 4902A, 4902B, 4902C, 4902D and 4902K lever trims or 1702A, 1702B and 1702C pull trims. Among peers, the Corbin Russwin ED5200 wide stile Grade 1 rim device is listed as exit only or accepts trim, and the Dormakaba electrified 36 inch rim device ships with 4908A trim in an 08 classroom function.
