BEST F2105 626W 48 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the BEST Precision 2105 rim exit device fit a 2-inch thick hollow metal door?
Yes. The Precision 2105 covers doors from 1-3/4 inch through 2-1/4 inch thick, so a 2 inch metal door is inside the range. The 48 inch device is sized for openings up to 4 feet wide. It is not rated for wood doors, so keep it on metal or aluminum wide stile openings.
2) Can I use the 2105 exit device on a fire rated stairwell or corridor door?
That is what it is built for. The 2105 is UL Listed panic and fire exit hardware conforming to UL10C and UBC 7-2, and it carries ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 certification. One consequence of the fire listing: order it less dogging. Hold-open dogging is not permitted on a fire door, which is why the dogging choices include a less dogging option alongside cylinder and hex dogging.
3) Will the 2105 latch into the strike that is already on my frame?
The 2105 uses a stainless steel deadlocking latchbolt with a 3/4 inch throw against a surface mounted rim strike on the frame stop. If your existing opening has a rim strike set for a 3/4 inch throw device, the geometry lines up; if you are coming off a vertical rod or mortise device there is no rim strike on the frame and you will need one. Rim devices latch a single door or the active leaf of a pair with a mullion, not a pair without one.
4) Can the 2105 work with my card reader or electric access control?
Yes. The center driven cam receives the tailpiece of access control products, provided that product delivers at least 50 degrees of rotation. Beyond that, the device can be ordered with electric latch retraction (ELR), motorized latch retraction (MLR), delayed egress (DE), latchbolt monitoring (LS or LDS), touchbar monitoring (TS, TDS, and weatherized WTS/WTDS), or the Q wireless access management option.
5) What is the difference between a wide stile device like the 2105 and a narrow stile rim device?
The 2105 is a wide stile device, sized for the broad stiles on hollow metal and heavy commercial doors. A narrow stile aluminum storefront door does not have enough rail to take it. For those openings, look at a narrow stile rim device such as the Adams Rite 3700 Series, which is fire rated and Grade 1, or the Corbin Russwin ED4200. The Adams Rite 8700 and 8800 are the non fire rated narrow stile equivalents.
6) What else could I buy instead of the BEST 2105 for a 48 inch fire rated opening?
On fire rated wide openings the closest cross-brand option we carry is the Marks USA M9900F 48 inch rim device, fire rated and exit only with a panic protector end cap. The Sargent 8800 Series 12-8810 is another fire rated wide stile rim device. If the door does not need a fire label, the Dormakaba 9300 Series 48 inch wide stile device covers the same 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch thickness range, and the Cal-Royal 5500 is a 48 inch push bar option. Note the M9900F and the Dormakaba 9300 are exit only, so they will not give you the outside key control the 2105 does.
7) What is the closest fire-rated 48 inch rim exit device to the BEST Precision 2105 if I need a different brand on the same opening?
The Marks USA M9900F at 48 inches is the closest match on the two specs that matter for a fire door: it is fire rated and it is a rim device at 48 inch length, supplied exit only with a panic protector end cap. The difference to plan around is function. The BEST Precision 2105 is a key controls device that takes 1705A, 1705B or 1705C pull trim or ships device only, so if the opening needs keyed outside access the 2105 carries that and the M9900F exit-only build does not. Both are for metal doors - the 2105 is not wood door compatible and neither is the M9900F.
8) The BEST 2105 is wide stile - what fire-rated rim device works on a narrow stile aluminum door?
The BEST Precision 2105 is built for wide stile doors, so it will not land on a narrow stile aluminum frame. The Adams Rite 3700 Series in 30 inch is fire rated, Grade 1, narrow stile, with starwheel interlocking, and it is wood door compatible as well. That is the substitution for storefront and narrow stile openings where the 2105 will not fit.
9) Do I have to specify handing for the BEST Precision 2105?
No. The 2105 is field reversible for all functions and trims, and it ships packed RHRB as standard. A locksmith can flip it on site, so stocking one device covers both hands.
10) What outside trim do I order with the 2105 and can I run it device only?
Three pull trims are offered, the 1705A, 1705B and 1705C, differing by grip style, plus a device only option if the outside is exit only or you already have trim on the door. The 2105 is the key controls thumbpiece version, so the outside cylinder controls the latch.
11) Cylinder dogging or hex dogging on the 2105, which should I order?
Hex dogging is the low cost choice where a maintenance tech holds the bar down with an allen key during business hours. Cylinder dogging puts that under key control, which matters when tenants or the public have access to the door. On any fire rated opening, neither applies and you order less dogging.
12) Can I use a Detex Advantex 10 Series in place of the BEST Precision 2105 on a fire door?
No - not on a labeled opening. The Detex 10 Advantex in 36 inch is a Grade 1 extra heavy duty wide stile rim device, but it is listed non fire rated, so it cannot substitute for the BEST Precision 2105 where a fire label is required. On non-rated exterior or stairwell doors it is a valid wide stile rim alternative. For fire-rated service stay with the 2105 or another labeled device.
13) My door opening is not fire rated - is there a simpler rim device than the BEST 2105?
Yes. If the opening carries no fire label you do not need the UL10C build. The Dormakaba 9300A is a Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile rim panic device in 48 inch, exit only, non fire rated, and it lists the same 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range the BEST Precision 2105 covers. The Cal-Royal A9820 is another 48 inch rim exit only device, heavy duty and non fire rated. Both are exit only, so neither gives you the key controls outside function of the 2105.
14) What is the difference between the BEST Precision 2105 and the Sargent 2828 for a 48 inch door?
Both are Grade 1 reversible wide stile rim devices sized for 48 inch doors. The Sargent 2828 from the 20 Series is an exit only function. The BEST Precision 2105 is a key controls device that is fire rated to UL10C and UBC 7-2, is field reversible for all functions and trims, and offers cylinder dogging, hex dogging or less dogging plus optional 1705 pull trim. Choose the 2828 where exit only suits and the 2105 where the opening needs a fire label and keyed outside control.
15) Is a crossbar device like the CRL Jackson 1095 or Corbin Russwin ED3200 an alternative to the BEST 2105?
They are rim devices for the same 48 inch wide stile opening but a different operating style. The CRL Jackson 1095 is a 48 inch crossbar rim panic device, exit only and non fire rated, and the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim device, panic only and non fire rated for 1-3/4 inch doors. The BEST Precision 2105 is a touchbar device with a fire rating and key controls trim. If the building standard is crossbar, those two match the look; if the door is labeled, the 2105 is the one that carries the fire listing.
16) I need a fire-rated rim device but my door is 36 inches, not 48 - what should I order instead of the BEST 2105?
The BEST Precision 2105 covered here is the 48 inch size for openings up to 4 feet wide. For a 36 inch door, the Marks USA M9900F in 36 inch is a fire rated rim device, exit only with a panic protector end cap, and the Orca OED85 Series in 36 inch is also a fire rated rim exit only device. Both are for metal doors.
17) Does the Sargent 12-8810 with RX and MELR do the same job as the BEST Precision 2105?
They overlap on rating but not on function. The Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM is a fire rated Grade 1 wide stile rim device, but it is a dummy function with L trim. The BEST Precision 2105 is an active key controls device with a stainless deadlocking latchbolt at 3/4 inch throw. On a pair of doors you might use an active 2105 on one leaf and a dummy device on the inactive leaf; they are not interchangeable on the same leaf.
18) What finishes does the BEST 2105 exit device come in for matching existing hardware?
Ten finishes are offered: 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. For a building standardized on 630 or 628, those are the usual commercial picks; 626W pairs with the weatherized switch options for exterior doors.
19) Is the 2105 touchbar strong enough for a school or hospital corridor?
It is built for that traffic. Cover, touchbar, device channel, lock and hinge side filler, and end cap are heavy wrought brass, bronze or stainless steel, and the device is ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 under ANSI 156.3. Typical uses listed include educational facilities, healthcare, government buildings, and multi-tenant residential.
