BEST 2105 630 36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I have to specify handing for the BEST 2105 exit device?
No handing to specify. The 2105 is nonhanded and field reversible for all functions and trims, and it ships packaged RHRB. If your opening is left hand reverse bevel, you reverse it on site rather than reordering.
2) Will the BEST 2105 latch into my existing rim strike?
The device uses a stainless steel deadlocking latchbolt with a 3/4 inch throw, which is the standard rim strike engagement, and the 2100 Series is built to retrofit into other manufacturers' mounting hole locations. That combination is what usually lets it drop onto an existing prep, though the strike itself should be checked for alignment with the new latch height.
3) Can I use the BEST 2105 with an electronic access control trim from another manufacturer?
That is what the 2105 is built for. It uses a center driven cam that accepts tailpieces from various manufacturers' access control exterior trim; the trim just has to deliver a minimum 50 degree rotation to retract the latch. If the exterior reader trim you are pairing it with rotates less than that, the latch will not pull back.
4) The BEST 2105 is not fire rated - what rim device should I use on a fire door instead?
The BEST 2105 is listed for panic hardware without a fire rating, so for a labeled fire door opening you need a fire-rated rim device. Options at 36 inch include the Marks USA M9900F, a fire rated 36 inch rim device with a panic protector end cap, and the Orca OED85 Series in 36 inch fire rated rim. The Dexter ED1000-R-F-EO is a Grade 1 fire rated rim device, and the Adams Rite 3700 Series is a fire rated Grade 1 rim device in narrow stile if the opening is an aluminum storefront. Confirm the door label and frame prep before ordering.
5) My door is an aluminum storefront with a narrow stile - can I use the BEST 2105?
No. The BEST 2105 is built as a wide stile device and needs the stile width to suit. For a narrow stile aluminum storefront, use a narrow stile rim device instead: the Corbin Russwin ED4200 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim at 36 inch that accepts trim, the TownSteel ED3700 and ED8900 are 36 inch Grade 1 narrow stile rim devices, and the Adams Rite 8800 Series is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim with interlocking starwheel for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors.
6) Is an SDC pressure sense bar or switch bar a substitute for the BEST 2105?
No, they solve different problems. The BEST 2105 is a mechanical rim exit device with a stainless steel deadlocking latchbolt at 3/4 inch throw that physically latches the door. The SDC MSB550 Series 36 inch is a mechanical switch bar that releases an electromagnetic lock, and the SDC SureExit PSB560 Series 36 inch is a pressure sense bar with tri-failsafe technology - both are request-to-exit bars used with a maglock and carry no latchbolt of their own. If your opening is secured by a maglock rather than a latch, the SDC bars apply; if the door must latch, the 2105 does.
7) For an electrified 36 inch rim device with exterior trim, how does the BEST 2105 compare to the SDC S6136 or Dormakaba E2103?
The BEST 2105 handles access control through a center driven cam that takes tailpieces from various manufacturers' electronic exterior trim, with electrified device options such as electric latch retraction, motorized latch retraction, latchbolt and touchbar monitoring switches, and delayed egress. The SDC S6136 Spectra S6000 Series is a 36 inch electrified architectural rim exit device with a 4 inch wide stile for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. The Dormakaba E2103 is a 36 inch electrified rim device supplied with 4908A trim in the 08 classroom function. The 2105 lets you keep mechanical trim and add the electrification option you need; the other two ship as electrified assemblies.
8) What dogging choices are there on the BEST 2105, and which should I pick for a school?
Three choices: cylinder dogging, hex dogging, or less dogging. Cylinder dogging lets staff hold the touchbar down with a keyed cylinder, which is the usual pick where you do not want a hex wrench floating around a building. Hex dogging is the maintenance standard. Less dogging is for openings that must latch at all times.
9) Does the BEST 2105 come with outside trim, or do I order that separately?
You choose. The 2105 can be ordered as device only, or with 1705A, 1705B, or 1705C pull trim depending on which grip profile you want on the outside of the door. If you are pairing it with an electronic access trim instead, order it device only.
10) What is a close equivalent to the BEST 2105 if I need another Grade 1 wide stile rim device?
The 2105 is BHMA certified to ANSI 156.3 Grade 1. Comparable wide stile Grade 1 rim devices include the Corbin Russwin ED5200 in 36 inch, the TownSteel ED1100 36 inch, the Detex 10 Advantex 36 inch, and the DORMA 8300 Series. Note the Corbin ED5200 is listed as exit only or accepts trim, while the 2105's draw is the center driven cam for third-party access control tailpieces.
11) Does the 36 inch BEST 2105 fit a 36 inch door leaf exactly?
Yes, the 36 inch size is built for a 36 inch wide leaf. Rim exit devices are sized to the door width, so a wider leaf needs the next device length up rather than this one.
12) The BEST 2105 is a rim device - what if my opening needs vertical rods instead?
The BEST 2105 latches to a rim strike on the frame stop, which suits a single door or the active leaf with a mullion. If the opening is a pair without a mullion and needs top and bottom latching, a concealed vertical rod device applies instead: the Hager 4501 Series in 36 inch is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device with a wide stile pushpad, and the Hager 4601 Series 36 inch is the Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod equivalent. Vertical rod devices require door prep for the rods, which a rim device does not.
13) Is there a simpler rim exit device than the BEST 2105 if I do not need access control trim?
The BEST 2105 carries a key controls thumb piece and a center driven cam that accepts access control tailpieces, which matters only if you are driving the latch from exterior electronic trim. For a plain push-to-exit opening, exit only devices cover the same job: the Corbin Russwin ED2200 is a 36 inch Grade 1 wide stile rim device in exit only, the Imperial USA ED-501 is a Grade 1 36 inch wide stile rim panic device exit only, and the Marks USA M9900 is a 36 inch exit only rim device. None of those accept the exterior trim the 2105 is built around.
14) I need a 48 inch rim exit device instead of the 36 inch BEST 2105 - what are the options?
The BEST 2105 covered here is sized for a 36 inch door. For a 48 inch leaf, comparable wide stile rim devices include the Sargent 2828, a Grade 1 reversible rim exit device for 48 inch minimum door width, the Sargent 3828 Grade 1 reversible push bar rim device for 48 inch doors, the DORMA 9300 Series 48 inch Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile panic rim for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Marks USA M9900F in 48 inch if the opening is fire rated.
15) I want hex key dogging on a wide stile rim device - does the BEST 2105 offer it, and what else does?
Yes. The BEST 2105 is offered in hex dogging, cylinder dogging, or less dogging. If you are cross-shopping, the Design Hardware 2000R is a 33 inch standard duty wide stile rim device with hex key dogging and the Design Hardware 1000R is the 33 inch heavy duty version with hex key dogging. The Stanley QED200 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim device with hex key dogging. Note dogging is not permitted on fire rated openings.
16) What finishes does the BEST 2105 exit device come in for matching existing hardware?
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, 626W is the weatherized option and pairs with the WTS/WTDS weatherized monitoring switches.
17) What is the BEST 2105 made of, and will it hold up in a high traffic entry?
The cover, touchbar, device channel, lock and hinge side fillers, and end cap are heavy wrought brass, bronze, or stainless steel, with a stainless steel deadlocking latchbolt. It is a commercial-rated device carrying ANSI 156.3 Grade 1, which is the top cycle and strength tier for exit hardware, so it suits school, healthcare, and municipal entries.
18) Is the Detex V4003A night latch trim device the same kind of product as the BEST 2105 with a pull trim?
They are close in intent but differ in how the outside works. The BEST 2105 is offered with 1705A, 1705B or 1705C pull trim or as a device only, and uses a key controls thumb piece with a center driven cam for the outside function. The Detex V4003A/03AN is a Grade 1 wide stile rim exit device supplied with night latch trim, catalogued as device only, exit only. Both are Grade 1 wide stile rim devices for non-wood doors; choose on the outside trim style your opening calls for.
19) Can I use the Detex 00 Series dummy device in place of the BEST 2105 on the inactive leaf?
No - a dummy device does not latch or release. The Detex Advantex 00 Series is a super-heavy-duty dummy exit device with wide stile design, used where matching appearance is needed on a leaf that does not require exit function. The BEST 2105 is a working rim exit device with a 3/4 inch throw deadlocking latchbolt and dogging options. Use the dummy only where code does not require egress hardware on that leaf.
20) If I want a crossbar look instead of the touchbar on the BEST 2105, what rim device should I specify?
The BEST 2105 uses a touchbar with a heavy wrought brass, bronze or stainless steel cover and channel. For a crossbar style on a wide stile door, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim exit device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the CRL Jackson 1095 Series 48 inch crossbar rim panic device is a wide stile exit only option. Both are crossbar designs rather than push pad, which changes the projection off the door face.
