BEST 2105 626W 48 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the BEST Precision 2105 48" exit device fire rated?
No. The 2105 as configured here is a non fire rated panic device, so it cannot go on a labeled fire door assembly. It is UL listed for panic and fire exit hardware conforming to UL10C and UBC 7-2 per the device literature, but the product record lists the fire rating as No, so treat it as panic only. For a labeled opening look at a device catalogued as fire rated, such as the Marks USA M9900F in 48 inch or the Dexter ED1000 fire rated rim device.
2) Is a 48 inch exit device right for my door, or do I need the 36 inch size?
The 48 inch 2105 is sized for 48 inch wide openings. Exit device bars are matched to leaf width, not trimmed on site, so measure the door before ordering. If your leaf is closer to 36 inches, order that size instead. It is also a wide stile device, meaning it needs a wide stile door; a narrow stile aluminum storefront leaf calls for a narrow stile device such as the Corbin Russwin ED4200 or the TownSteel ED3700.
3) Do I have to specify handing on the BEST Precision 2105 rim device?
No handing decision is needed at the order stage. The 2105 is reversible for all functions and trims and ships packed RHRB, so one part number covers both hands. That makes it easier to stock a single device across a building with mixed swings. Function is also field selectable, with the 03 function supplied as standard; the only exception is the double cylinder option, which is not field changeable.
4) Will the 2105 latch into the strike I already have on the frame?
The 2105 uses a stainless steel deadlocking latchbolt with a 3/4 inch throw, which is the common rim device throw, so it will engage a standard rim strike at that projection. It is a rim device, so it latches into a surface mounted strike on the frame stop, not into the head or threshold. If your existing opening was set up for a vertical rod device, the strike locations are different and you will be re-prepping the frame.
5) I have a pair of doors with no mullion. Is a rim exit device like the 2105 the right choice?
Not on its own. A rim device latches into a strike on the frame stop, so on a pair it needs a mullion between the leaves to strike against. Without a mullion you want a vertical rod device, which latches at the head and threshold instead, such as the Hager 4501 wide stile concealed vertical rod device. The 2105 is the right pick for a single door or for a pair fitted with a removable mullion.
6) I need a fire rated 48-inch rim exit device instead. What should I use?
The BEST Precision 2105 is not fire rated, so for a fire door use the Marks USA M9900F 48-inch rim panic exit device, which is fire rated and furnished exit only with a panic protector end cap. If a smaller leaf is involved, the M9900F is also offered in a 36-inch length.
7) My door has a narrow stile. Can I use the Precision 2105?
No. The Precision 2105 is a wide stile device. For narrow stile aluminum openings, the Corbin Russwin ED4200 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device, the Adams Rite 8800 Series is a narrow stile rim device rated Grade 1 with a 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range, and the TownSteel ED3700 and ED8900 are Grade 1 narrow stile rim devices.
8) What looks like a rim exit device alternative to the Precision 2105 but will not latch the door?
Two items in the same family are not latching devices. The Detex Advantex 00 Series is a wide stile dummy exit device, and the Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM is catalogued with a dummy function. The Precision 2105 carries a stainless steel deadlocking latchbolt with a 3/4 inch throw and is UL listed for panic hardware, so a dummy pushbar is not a substitute on an egress opening.
9) What dogging choices are there on the BEST Precision 2105, and which should I pick?
Three: cylinder dogging, hex dogging, or less dogging. Cylinder dogging lets staff hold the latch retracted with a key, which suits a retail or school entrance that goes push-pull during business hours and needs the dogging controlled by keyholder. Hex dogging does the same job with an allen wrench and is the cheaper maintenance choice for staff-only doors. Less dogging is specified where the door must latch every time.
10) What outside trim comes with the BEST Precision 2105, and do I need to order it separately?
Trim is a choice on the device. You can take it as device only with no outside trim, which is the exit-only setup, or add a 1705 pull trim in an A, B, or C grip. The device itself is furnished with a key controls thumb piece arrangement. If you want lever or reader trim for outside entry instead of a pull, that trim is a separate specification and must meet the 50 degree tailpiece rotation the cam needs.
11) What are the closest alternatives to the BEST Precision 2105 for a 48 inch wide stile door?
Same-size wide stile Grade 1 rim devices include the Sargent 2828 and 3828, both reversible and sized for 48 inch doors, and the DORMA 9300 Series 48 inch wide stile rim device, which shares the same 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range. The Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a 48 inch crossbar rim device if you want a crossbar rather than a touchbar. Those are all exit-only style devices, so if you need access control trim driving the latch, the 2105 center driven cam is the differentiator.
12) Which alternatives to the Precision 2105 are built for electrified access control openings?
The Precision 2105 uses a center driven cam that accepts many manufacturers' access control exterior trim with a minimum 50 degree tailpiece rotation, and it is offered with device options including electric latch retraction, motorized latch retraction, and delayed egress. If you want a purpose-built electrified bar instead, the SDC S6136 Spectra S6000 is a 36-inch electrified architectural rim device with a 4 inch wide stile for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Securitron EMB is an electromechanical exit bar listed for 2-1/4 inch doors.
13) Is there a Grade 2 alternative to the Precision 2105 for a 48-inch door?
Yes. 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. The Precision 2105 is BHMA certified to ANSI 156.3 Grade 1 and offers cylinder, hex, or less dogging.
14) What is the difference between the Precision 2105 touchbar device and a crossbar rim device for a 48-inch opening?
The Precision 2105 uses a touchbar with a cover, touchbar, device channel, filler, and end cap in heavy wrought brass, bronze, or stainless steel. Crossbar alternatives for the same width include the CRL Jackson 1095 Series 48-inch crossbar rim panic device, which is wide stile and exit only, and the Corbin Russwin ED3200, a Grade 1 48-inch wide stile crossbar rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors.
15) Is the Sargent 2828 a substitute for the BEST Precision 2105 48-inch device?
They cover a similar opening but not the same trim scope. The Sargent 2828 is a Grade 1 reversible wide stile rim device for a 48-inch minimum door width, catalogued exit only. The Precision 2105 is also reversible for all functions and trims with standard RHRB packaging, and it accepts exterior pull trim and access control trim through its center driven cam. Sargent also lists the 3828, a Grade 1 reversible standard push bar wide stile rim device for 48-inch doors.
16) I only need a device for a standard 36-inch leaf, not a 48-inch one. What are the options?
The Precision 2105 covered here is the 48-inch size. For a 36-inch leaf in wide stile, the Detex 10 Advantex is a 36-inch extra heavy duty Grade 1 wide stile rim device, the TownSteel ED1100 is a 36-inch Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile panic rim device, and the Corbin Russwin ED5200 is a Grade 1 36-inch wide stile rim device that accepts trim.
17) Instead of a rim device like the Precision 2105, what concealed vertical rod options are there?
The Precision 2105 is a surface rim device with a rim strike. If the spec calls for concealed vertical rods, the Hager 4501 Series is a 36-inch Grade 1 concealed vertical rod exit device with a wide stile pushpad, and the Hager 4601 Series is a 36-inch Grade 1 concealed vertical rod narrow stile device. Both change the door prep entirely, since the rods run inside the door rather than latching to the frame.
18) What finishes does the BEST Precision 2105 come in, and is there one for a coastal or exterior door?
Ten finishes: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 622 matte black, 625 bright chrome, 626W satin chrome weatherized, 628 satin aluminum, 630 satin stainless steel, and 690 statuary dark bronze. For an exterior or coastal opening, 626W is the weatherized chrome, and it pairs logically with the WTS or WTDS weatherized touchbar monitoring switches if you are monitoring the door.
19) Which alternatives to the Precision 2105 offer hex key dogging?
The Precision 2105 can be ordered with cylinder dogging, hex dogging, or less dogging. Among other brands, the Design Hardware 1000R is a 33-inch heavy duty rim device with hex key dogging, the Design Hardware 2000R is a 33-inch standard duty wide stile rim device with hex key dogging, and the Stanley Security QED200 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim device with hex key dogging.
