BEST F2102 626W 48 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the 'Dummy' function mean on the BEST 2102 rim exit device?
Dummy function means the outside trim is fixed and does not retract the latch. The 2102 is non-keyed, so there is no cylinder and no outside entry through the trim. It is used where you want the push bar look and free egress from the inside, with a pull or rigid lever on the outside. If you need the outside trim to actually operate the latch, you want a keyed or classroom function device instead, not this one.
2) Does the BEST 2102 need to be ordered handed?
No handing required for the device itself. The 2102 is nonhanded and field reversible for all functions and trims, shipped RHRB as standard. The one exception: if you order lever trim, you do specify handing, right hand reverse or left hand reverse.
3) Can I use my access control lever trim with the BEST 2102?
That is what the center driven cam is for. The 2102 receives the tailpiece of access control products and works with many manufacturers' access control exterior trim, provided the trim delivers at least 50 degrees of rotation. Anything short of that will not drive the cam.
4) Is the BEST 2102 certified for a commercial code-compliant egress opening?
It is BHMA certified to ANSI 156.3 Grade 1 and UL Listed as panic and fire exit hardware, with UL 10C and UBC 7-2 compliance. That is the combination a spec normally calls for on a labeled commercial egress door. Cover, touchbar, device channel, filler and end cap are heavy wrought brass, bronze or stainless steel.
5) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to the BEST 2102 fire rated wide stile rim exit device in a dummy function?
The Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM is the nearest match from another maker: it is a fire rated wide stile rim exit device in the dummy function, Grade 1, and not rated for wood doors. The BEST 2102 is likewise a fire rated wide stile rim device with a dummy lock function. The Sargent is listed with RX and MELR electrical options built into the part, where the BEST 2102 takes its electrical options as device selections such as ELR, MLR, and latchbolt or touchbar monitoring switches.
6) Which dummy-function rim exit device should I use on a non-fire-rated opening instead of the BEST 2102?
The Detex Advantex 00 Series is a wide stile dummy exit device rated Grade 1 and built super-heavy-duty, and it is the dummy option to look at when the opening carries no fire label. The BEST 2102 carries a fire rating and UL 10C plus UBC 7-2 compliance, which is what you want when the door assembly is labeled.
7) Is there a narrow stile fire rated rim exit device alternative to the BEST 2102 for an aluminum storefront door?
The BEST 2102 is a wide stile device, so it will not suit a narrow stile aluminum storefront. The Adams Rite 3700 Series 30 inch is a fire rated narrow stile rim exit device with starwheel interlocking, Grade 1, and it is also listed as wood door compatible. For a narrow stile Grade 1 device without a fire rating, the Adams Rite 8800 Series 30 inch covers doors 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick, the same thickness range the 2102 handles.
8) Will the BEST 2102 latch into my existing rim strike?
It uses a deadlocking stainless steel latchbolt with a 3/4 inch throw. If your existing rim strike is set for a 3/4 inch throw rim device and the strike height matches the new device centerline, it will engage. Check the strike position against the template before you commit, because rim strike heights vary between manufacturers.
9) What dogging options are there on the BEST 2102, and can I dog a fire rated device?
Three dogging choices are offered: cylinder dogging, hex dogging, or less dogging. Mechanical dogging holds the touchbar depressed so the door pushes free, which is useful during business hours. On a fire rated opening, mechanical dogging is normally not permitted, so less dogging is the usual pick for a labeled door assembly.
10) What trim choices come with the BEST 2102 exit device?
You can order it device only, with pull trim in 1702A, 1702B or 1702C grip styles, or with lever trim in 4902A, 4902B, 4902C, 4902D or 4902K designs. Since this is a dummy function, the lever or pull is rigid and does not retract the latch; it is there as a pull and to match the look of other openings.
11) Should I use a wide stile rim device like the BEST 2102 or a narrow stile one?
Wide stile devices like the 2102 are for hollow metal and wide-stile doors where there is stile width to take the mounting. On an aluminum storefront door with a narrow lock stile, a wide stile chassis will not fit and you want a narrow stile rim device instead, such as the Corbin Russwin ED4200 or the TownSteel ED3700. A rim device of either style latches into a strike on the frame, so it suits a single door or one leaf of a pair with a mullion.
12) What is a comparable fire rated wide stile rim exit device if the BEST 2102 does not suit?
For a fire rated wide stile rim device with dummy function, the Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM from the 8800 Series is the closest cross-brand match, Grade 1 and wide stile with lever trim. If you need an exit-only fire rated device on a 48 inch opening instead, the Marks USA M9900F 48 inch is fire rated and exit only. The Dexter ED1000-R-F-EO is another Grade 1 fire rated rim option.
13) What fire rated rim exit device alternatives to the BEST 2102 are there for a standard 36 inch door?
For a 36 inch fire rated opening, the Marks USA M9900F 36 inch is a fire rated exit only rim device with a panic protector end cap, the Orca OED85 Series 36 inch is a fire rated exit only rim device, and the Arrow FS1250 is a fire rated 32 inch rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors. None of the three is rated for wood doors. The BEST 2102 covers openings up to 4 feet wide and is a dummy function device.
14) What is the difference between the BEST 2102 and a Cal-Royal A9820 48 inch rim exit device?
Both cover a 48 inch opening, but they are different classes of hardware. The Cal-Royal A9820 is an exit only heavy duty rim device listed at Grade 2 and not fire rated. The BEST 2102 is a dummy function device, fire rated with UL 10C and UBC 7-2 compliance, and BHMA certified to ANSI 156.3 Grade 1. If the drawing calls for a fire label and Grade 1, the A9820 will not satisfy it.
15) Can I use a crossbar rim device on a 48 inch door instead of the touchbar BEST 2102?
Yes, if a crossbar look is wanted. The CRL Jackson 1095 Series 48 inch is a wide stile crossbar rim panic exit device in exit only function, and the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim exit device for 1-3/4 inch doors, both non fire rated. The BEST 2102 is a touchbar style device, fire rated, and its bar is dummy function rather than exit only.
16) Is the SDC MSB550 switch bar a substitute for the BEST 2102 exit device?
No, though they can look alike on the door. The SDC MSB550 Series 36 inch is a mechanical switch bar that releases an electromagnetic lock and is not fire rated; it fits narrow or wide stile doors. The BEST 2102 is a mechanical rim exit device with a deadlocking stainless steel latchbolt at 3/4 inch throw, fire rated to UL 10C, and it can carry electrical options such as latchbolt or touchbar monitoring switches if signaling is the goal.
17) Which other 48 inch wide stile rim devices are reversible like the BEST 2102?
The Sargent 2828 and Sargent 3828 are both Grade 1 reversible wide stile rim exit devices for 48 inch doors in exit only function, the 3828 with a standard push bar, and neither is rated for wood doors. The BEST 2102 is nonhanded and field reversible for all functions and trims, shipped standard as RHRB, and is also not wood door compatible.
18) What finishes does the BEST 2102 come in for matching other doors in a building?
Ten finishes: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 oil-rubbed satin bronze, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome, 626W satin chrome weatherized, 628 satin aluminum, 630 satin stainless steel, and 690 statuary dark bronze. For exterior openings the 626W weatherized finish is the one to pair with the weatherized switch options.
19) If I want a fire rated rim exit device from a single-source line that also offers non-fire versions in 3 and 4 foot lengths, what should I look at besides the BEST 2102?
The Dexter ED1000 Series gives you that spread: ED1000-R-F-EO is the Grade 1 fire rated rim device, and ED1000-R-EO is offered in 3FT and 4FT Grade 1 non fire rated versions, none rated for wood doors. The BEST 2102 is the fire rated wide stile 2100 Series device for 48 inch openings with a dummy function.
