BEST 2103 626W 36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the 03 function on a Precision 2103 actually do?
Key retracts latchbolt. Turning the outside cylinder pulls the latch back so the door can be pushed open from the outside; the touchbar always releases from the inside. That is the function you want on a staff entry or a service door where people come and go on a key rather than a permanently free-swinging opening.
2) Will a BEST Precision 2103 latch into the strike that is already on my frame?
The 2103 uses a stainless steel deadlocking latchbolt with a 3/4 inch throw. It is a rim device, so it latches into a surface mounted rim strike on the frame stop, not into an ANSI mortise pocket. If the door currently wears a rim device from another maker, the strike position will be close but the prep rarely matches hole for hole, so budget for the strike that ships with the device.
3) Do I have to order the Precision 2103 handed?
The device itself is reversible for all functions and trims and ships packed RHRB, so a stock device covers either hand. Handing only becomes an order decision when you add lever trim: with a 4903 lever you specify RHR or LHR. Pull trim and device-only orders need no hand.
4) Will the Precision 2103 work with my card reader or electronic outside trim?
It is built for it. The 2103 uses a center driven cam that accepts access control exterior trim as long as the tailpiece rotates at least 50 degrees. If you want the latch held back electrically instead, the device can be ordered with electric latch retraction (ELR) or motorized latch retraction (MLR), and latchbolt or touchbar monitoring switches (LS, LDS, TS, TDS) are available to report door status back to the panel.
5) Does the BEST Precision 2103 meet a Grade 1 spec on the drawing?
Yes. The 2103 is BHMA certified to ANSI 156.3 Grade 1 and UL listed for panic hardware, conforming to UL10C and UBC 7-2. Cover, touchbar, device channel, lock and hinge side fillers, and end cap are heavy wrought brass, bronze or stainless steel, which is what carries it through high traffic openings in schools and healthcare.
6) The door is wood - what rim exit device should I use in place of the BEST Precision 2103?
The Precision 2103 is carried as not wood door compatible. Among rim devices, Adams Rite 8700 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device with starwheel interlocking that is listed wood door compatible, and the fire rated Adams Rite 3700 is as well. Both are narrow stile, so check the stile width on the wood leaf before committing.
7) I need a fire rated rim exit device - can I use the BEST Precision 2103?
The Precision 2103 is carried with a Fire Rating of No, so a fire labeled opening calls for a device built for it. Marks USA M9900F is a fire rated 36 inch rim exit device, exit only, with a panic protector end cap, and the 48 inch M9900F covers the wider leaf. Orca OED85 is a 36 inch fire rated rim device, exit only. Dexter ED1000 is offered in a Grade 1 fire rated rim version, and Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM is a Grade 1 fire rated wide stile rim device. Adams Rite 3700 is a Grade 1 fire rated narrow stile rim device with starwheel interlocking and is listed wood door compatible.
8) The opening is a narrow stile aluminum storefront door - what rim exit device works there instead of the BEST Precision 2103?
The Precision 2103 is built as a wide stile device, so a narrow stile aluminum door needs a narrow stile rim device. Corbin Russwin ED4200 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device for 36 inch doors that accepts trim, TownSteel ED3700 and ED8900 are both 36 inch Grade 1 narrow stile rim devices, and Adams Rite 8800 is a narrow stile rim device with starwheel interlocking that covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. If key retraction of the latch is the point, the Sargent 8504 is a narrow stile rim device in night latch function.
9) What is the closest wide stile rim exit device to the BEST Precision 2103 if the Precision line is not an option?
The Corbin Russwin ED5200 is a Grade 1 wide stile rim exit device for 36 inch doors that is exit only and accepts trim, which lines up with the way the Precision 2103 is ordered with pull or lever trim or as device only. The Corbin Russwin ED5200 lists a 1-3/4 inch door thickness, while the Precision 2103 covers 1-3/4 inch through 2-1/4 inch doors, so confirm the leaf thickness before swapping. TownSteel ED9700 is another 36 inch Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile rim device, and the Detex 10 Advantex is a 36 inch wide stile rim device rated extra heavy duty.
10) The opening is wider than 4 feet - what takes over from the 36 inch BEST Precision 2103?
The 2103 at 36 inches is sized for openings up to 4 feet wide. For a wider leaf, the Sargent 2828 and Sargent 3828 are Grade 1 reversible wide stile rim devices for 48 inch doors, the 3828 with a standard push bar. Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar wide stile rim device, DORMA 9300 is a 48 inch Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile rim device for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and Dexter ED1000 is offered in a 4 foot Grade 1 rim version.
11) Is an SDC switch bar or pressure sense bar the same thing as a BEST Precision 2103 rim exit device?
No. The Precision 2103 is a mechanical rim exit device with a stainless steel deadlocking latchbolt with 3/4 inch throw that latches the door itself. The SDC MSB550 is a 36 inch mechanical switch bar that releases an electromagnetic lock, and the SDC PSB560 SureExit is a 36 inch pressure sense bar with tri-failsafe technology - both are exit bars that signal a separate locking device rather than carrying a latch. Securitron EMB is likewise an electromechanical exit bar. If you want a rim device with electric function, the 2103 is ordered with device options such as electric latch retraction, motorized latch retraction, or delayed egress.
12) For access control on a 36 inch door, how does the BEST Precision 2103 compare with an electrified rim device?
The 2103 uses a center driven cam that accepts access control exterior trim with a minimum 50 degree tailpiece rotation, and it is ordered with device options including electric latch retraction, motorized latch retraction, delayed egress, and a wireless access management option. Alternatives built electrified from the start include the SDC S6136 Spectra, a 36 inch electrified architectural rim device with a 4 inch wide stile for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Dormakaba electrified 36 inch rim device with 4908A trim in classroom function.
13) The doors are 2 inch or 2-1/4 inch thick - which rim exit devices besides the BEST Precision 2103 will fit?
The 2103 covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, which is unusually wide for a rim device. Adams Rite 8800 narrow stile lists the same 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch range, and DORMA 9300 at 48 inches lists it as well. SDC S6136 reaches 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch. Many of the alternatives, including Corbin Russwin ED5200 and ED4200, Falcon 19-R, and Arrow ED910, are listed at 1-3/4 inch only, so on a thick leaf those are off the table.
14) Should I choose a rim exit device or a vertical rod device for my opening?
A rim device like the Precision 2103 latches into a strike on the frame stop, which makes it the simple choice for a single door in a frame, or for the active leaf of a pair that has a mullion. It cannot secure a pair of doors with no center mullion, because there is nothing at the jamb to catch. For that opening you need a vertical rod device that latches at the head and sill, such as the Hager 4501 concealed vertical rod for wide stile doors or the Hager 4601 for narrow stile.
15) How do I hold the door in a push-open state during business hours with a Precision 2103?
That is the dogging choice, and it is made at order time. The 2103 comes with cylinder dogging (a key holds the touchbar down), hex dogging (an allen wrench does it), or less dogging if you do not want the door dogged at all. Cylinder dogging is the usual pick where a manager should be able to open up without carrying a tool; hex dogging is cheaper to key-manage since there is no cylinder to buy.
16) What outside trim can I get on the BEST Precision 2103?
Two families. The 1703 pull trim comes in A, B and C grips for a pull-and-key opening, and the 4903 lever trim comes in A, B, C, D and K lever designs. You can also order the device alone with no outside trim. Lever trim is what gets specified where an accessible operable hardware shape is wanted on the pull side; specify the hand with it.
17) Can I change the function on a Precision 2103 in the field instead of reordering?
Most of them, yes. Functions on the Precision 2100 devices are field selectable, with the double cylinder option as the exception, so a device on the shelf can be set to the function the opening needs at install. That is worth knowing for a property manager stocking a few spares across a portfolio rather than a separate part number per door.
18) What is a lighter duty alternative to the BEST Precision 2103 for a low traffic commercial door?
The Precision 2103 is BHMA certified to ANSI 156.3 Grade 1. Where a Grade 2 chassis is acceptable, the Cal-Royal 5000 is a 36 inch wide rim exit device with a touch bar and a Grade 2 heavy duty chassis, and the Cal-Royal 5500 is the 48 inch push bar version, also Grade 2 heavy duty. Design Hardware 2000R is a 33 inch standard duty wide stile rim device with hex key dogging, and the Hager 4701 is a standard duty rim device at 36 inches with Grade 1 BHMA certification.
19) Can I use a concealed vertical rod device in place of the BEST Precision 2103 rim device?
They prep the door differently. The 2103 is a rim device, latching to a strike on the frame at the lock edge. The Hager 4501 is a 36 inch Grade 1 concealed vertical rod exit device with a wide stile pushpad, and the Hager 4601 is the narrow stile concealed vertical rod version - both latch top and bottom through rods concealed in the door, which requires a door prepped for that hardware. Swap between the two families only when the door and frame prep supports it.
20) Which wide stile rim devices should I look at if I need an exit only bar with no outside trim, instead of the keyed BEST Precision 2103?
The 2103 is the key retracts latchbolt function and can be ordered as device only with no exterior trim. If a straight exit only bar is all the opening needs, the Corbin Russwin ED2200 is a Grade 1 36 inch wide stile rim device in exit only function, TownSteel ED1100 is a 36 inch Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile panic rim device, Imperial USA ED-501 is a Grade 1 36 inch wide stile rim panic device in exit only, and Detex V4003A is a Grade 1 wide stile device only exit only unit. Marks USA M9900 is a 36 inch exit only rim device with a panic protector end cap.
21) I want a crossbar or paddle exit device rather than a touchbar - what are the options next to the BEST Precision 2103?
The Precision 2103 uses a touchbar, and its device options are built around that bar, including touchbar monitoring switches and weatherized versions. If the specification calls for a crossbar, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar wide stile rim device and the CRL Jackson 1095 is a 48 inch crossbar rim panic device in exit only. For a paddle, the CRL Jackson 1095P is a paddle rim panic device, and the CRL Jackson 1295 is a non-handed push pad rim panic device for 1-3/4 inch doors.
22) Which rim devices match the BEST Precision 2103 on hex dogging for a door that stays pushed open during business hours?
The 2103 is ordered with cylinder dogging, hex dogging, or less dogging. Design Hardware 1000R is a 33 inch heavy duty rim device with hex key dogging, the 2000R is the standard duty 33 inch version with hex key dogging, and the Stanley Security QED200 is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim device with hex key dogging. Dormakaba QED200 is the same series in a 36 inch Grade 1 heavy duty narrow device with a 7 foot rod.
23) Does the BEST Precision 2103 come in a dummy version, or do I need a different device for the inactive leaf?
The 2103 is the key retracts latchbolt function. For an inactive leaf or a matching non-functioning bar, the Detex Advantex 00 Series is a Grade 1 super heavy duty dummy exit device with wide stile design, and the Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM is a Grade 1 fire rated wide stile rim device in dummy function with RX and MELR.
24) For a standardization program across a campus, which rim exit devices carry the same Grade 1 rating as the BEST Precision 2103?
The 2103 is BHMA certified to ANSI 156.3 Grade 1 and UL listed for panic and fire exit hardware to UL10C and UBC 7-2. Grade 1 wide stile rim peers include Corbin Russwin ED5200 and ED2200, TownSteel ED9700 and ED1100, DORMA 8300, Detex 10 Advantex at extra heavy duty, and Imperial USA ED-501. On the narrow stile side, Corbin Russwin ED4200, TownSteel ED3700 and ED8900, Falcon 19-R, and Detex 40 Advantex are all Grade 1, which matters if a campus mixes hollow metal and storefront openings under one spec.
25) I need the exit hardware to match satin stainless finishes across a building. What finishes does the Precision 2103 come in?
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 is the one that matches the satin stainless most commercial openings are standardized on, and 626W is the pick for exterior doors that take weather.
26) What weatherized rim exit device options exist for an exterior door, compared with the BEST Precision 2103?
The 2103 is ordered with weatherized touchbar monitoring switch options, single or double, and in a 626W satin chrome weatherized finish. Among the alternatives, weatherizing is not part of how they are configured, so if the opening is exposed, the weatherized touchbar and finish route on the 2103 is what carries it. For an exterior storefront leaf in narrow stile, the Adams Rite 8800 with starwheel interlocking is the substitution to weigh on stile width rather than on weatherizing.
