BEST 2202 630 36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the dummy trim function on the BEST Precision 2202 actually do?
The 2202 is the dummy trim version of the Precision 2200 Series surface vertical rod device. The outside trim is fixed, so the pull or lever does not retract the latches. Egress is from the inside only, by pushing the touchbar. Use it on the inactive leaf of a pair, or on any door where you want a matching exterior pull or lever but no outside entry. It is non-keyed, so there is no cylinder in the trim.
2) Will the Precision 2202 exit device fit a 2-inch thick door?
Yes. The 2202 covers doors 1-3/4 inch through 2-1/4 inch thick, so a 2 inch door is in range. Door size is limited to 4 feet wide by 10 feet high. That thickness range is wider than most competing surface vertical rod devices, which are typically listed for 1-3/4 inch only.
3) Do I need a mullion to use this on a pair of doors?
No. A surface vertical rod device latches at the head and at the threshold rather than into a strike on the jamb, so a pair of doors can be secured without a center mullion. That is the main reason to choose the vertical rod 2200 over a rim device, which does need a mullion between the leaves. On a pair, the 2202 dummy trim version typically goes on the inactive leaf.
4) Will the 2202 latch into my existing top and bottom strikes?
The top latchbolt is deadlocking stainless steel with a 3/4 inch throw and the bottom bolt is independent action with a 5/8 inch throw. Compare those throws and the strike locations against what is in your head frame and threshold. If the existing prep was for a different manufacturer's vertical rod device, plan on new top strike and floor strike locations from the Precision templates.
5) Can I get the Precision 2200 fire rated, and what changes if I do?
Fire-rated is a selectable build on the 2202, and the series is UL listed for both panic and fire exit hardware with conformance to UL10C and UBC 7-2. One thing changes: dogging is not available on fire exit hardware. The standard 1/4 turn hex key dogging and the cylinder dogging option only apply to non-rated devices, because a fire door must latch on every closing.
6) Is this device handed, or can my installer reverse it in the field?
The 2200 Series device itself is field reversible for all functions and trims, so one device covers either hand. Handing only becomes an order decision when you pick lever trim: with a 4902 lever you specify RHR or LHR. Pull trim (1702A, 1702B, 1702C) does not need a hand called out.
7) My door is narrow stile aluminum - can I use the Precision 2202?
The Precision 2202 is a wide stile device, so it is built for the wider stiles of hollow metal and wood doors rather than narrow stile aluminum. For narrow stile openings, the Von Duprin 3327A is a Grade 1 narrow stile surface vertical rod device for 36 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin ED4400 is a Grade 1 narrow stile 36 inch device that accepts trim, and the Falcon 19-V-EO is a Grade 1 narrow stile 36 inch exit-only device. The Adams Rite 8200 is another Grade 1 narrow stile surface vertical rod option.
8) What is the closest equivalent to the BEST Precision 2202 dummy vertical rod device from another manufacturer?
The Sargent 12-8710 is the nearest match: it is a wide stile surface vertical rod exit device with a dummy function, Grade 1, and fire rated. The Precision 2202 is likewise a wide stile surface vertical rod device with dummy trim and Grade 1 certification, offered in both non-rated and fire-rated builds. If the opening calls for a dummy push-side device paired with pull or lever trim, those two are the direct cross-reference.
9) Which fire-rated wide stile vertical rod devices compare to the fire-rated Precision 2202?
The Precision 2202 is offered in a fire-rated configuration and is UL listed for panic and fire exit hardware conforming to UL10C and UBC 7-2. Comparable fire-rated devices include the TownSteel EF9727, a Grade 1 certified heavy-duty wide stile device in 36 by 84 inch and wood door compatible; the Sargent 2727, a Grade 1 fire rated reversible wide stile device; and the Adams Rite 3100, a Grade 1 fire-rated wide stile device for 1-3/4 inch doors. Note that hex key dogging is standard on the 2202 but is not available on fire exit hardware.
10) My doors are thicker than 1-3/4 inch - which vertical rod device will fit?
The Precision 2202 accommodates doors 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick, up to 4 feet wide by 10 feet high, which covers thicker leaves. Many comparable devices are built around a single 1-3/4 inch door thickness, including the Von Duprin 2227-3FT, the Falcon 20-V and 25-V-EO, the Corbin Russwin ED5400, and the Adams Rite 3100. If the leaf measures over 1-3/4 inch, the 2202 range is the one to check against your door schedule.
11) Should I order the LBR less bottom rod option?
Order LBR when you do not want a bottom rod and floor strike, which is common where carpet, thresholds, or drainage make a floor strike a problem, and where an auxiliary top latch or fire pin arrangement handles the leaf. Otherwise take the standard build with the bottom bolt, which adds a second 5/8 inch throw latching point at the sill. LBR is a required selection on the 2202, so you have to answer it when ordering.
12) What trim choices come with the 2202, and what is the difference between pull and lever?
Two families. The 1702 pull trims come in A, B, and C grips and give a fixed pull on the outside. The 4902 lever trims come in A, B, C, D, and K designs for a fixed lever that matches the rest of the openings in a building. You can also order the device only with no trim. Since this is the dummy function, neither the pull nor the lever retracts the latches, they are appearance and grab only.
13) Do I order the 36 inch or the 48 inch device for my door?
The 2202 comes in 36 inch and 48 inch device lengths. Pick the length by door width: 36 inch covers openings up to 3 feet, 48 inch covers wider leaves out to the 4 foot maximum door width for the series. Do not fit a 48 inch device to a 3 foot door, the touchbar will overhang the stile.
14) Is the Precision 2200 Series Grade 1, and what is it built from?
ANSI/BHMA certified ANSI 156.3 Grade 1. Covers, touchbar, device channel, vertical rods, and end cap are heavy wrought brass, bronze, or stainless steel, and the top latchbolt is stainless steel. That matters for high-traffic openings in schools, healthcare, and government buildings where a Grade 2 device will not meet the spec. If your spec allows Grade 2, the TownSteel TS5100 and Dexter ED2000 are Grade 2 surface vertical rod alternatives.
15) What is cylinder dogging and should I choose it over the standard hex key dogging?
Hex key dogging is standard on the 2202: a 1/4 turn with a hex key holds the touchbar depressed so the door pushes free during business hours. Cylinder dogging swaps that for a keyed cylinder, which is what you want when you do not want maintenance staff carrying a hex wrench or you need dogging restricted to a keyholder. Less Dogging is the third choice, and it is the one you take on fire-rated doors since dogging is not permitted there.
16) I want a crossbar-style device rather than a touchbar - is the Precision 2202 that?
No. The Precision 2202 uses a touchbar, and its monitoring options are touchbar based, including TS touchbar monitoring switch and TDS touchbar monitoring double switch. For a crossbar look, the Corbin Russwin ED7400 is a Grade 1 narrow stile crossbar surface vertical rod device in 36 inch that accepts operator trim. The Arrow 3700 Series uses a wide stile pushpad in 30 inch, which is a third style again.
17) Which devices can I put on a wood door instead of the Precision 2202?
Among comparable surface vertical rod devices, the TownSteel EF9727, ED3727, and ED8927 are all listed as wood door compatible, with the EF9727 fire rated and Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile, the ED8927 Grade 1 wide stile non-rated, and the ED3727 Grade 1 narrow stile. By contrast the Von Duprin 7527 and 7827 are listed as not wood door compatible, so confirm substrate before swapping either of those onto a wood leaf.
18) I need a less bottom rod device - does the Precision 2202 do that, or is there another option?
The Precision 2202 can be ordered with the LBR less bottom rod option, alongside a choice of non-rated or fire-rated build. The Orca Hardware OED56 in 36 inch is another less bottom rod surface vertical rod device, supplied as a non-handed exit-only device in aluminum finish for 1-3/4 inch doors. The 2202 differs in that it is a dummy function device offered across ten finishes.
19) The Precision 2202 only comes in 36 and 48 inch - what if my door is narrower?
The Precision 2202 is built in 36 inch and 48 inch device lengths. For shorter openings, the Adams Rite 3100 and 8100 are 30 inch wide stile Grade 1 devices, the Arrow 3700 is a 30 inch wide stile pushpad device, and the Design Hardware 1000V and 2000V come in 33 inch. Confirm the device length against the actual door width on your schedule.
20) Which alternatives accept exterior lever or pull trim like the Precision 2202?
The Precision 2202 pairs with 1702 pull trim in A, B, and C grips or 4902 lever trim in A, B, C, D, and K styles, and can also be ordered as device only. Among comparables, the Corbin Russwin ED5400 is a Grade 1 wide stile device listed as exit only, accepts trim, and the ED4400 is the narrow stile equivalent that accepts trim; the ED7400 accepts operator trim. Devices such as the Falcon 19-V-EO, 24-V-EO, and 25-V-EO and the Arrow S1150 are cataloged as exit only, less trim.
21) Which vertical rod device should I pick if I need hex key dogging on the alternative too?
The Precision 2202 ships with 1/4 turn hex key dogging as standard and can also be ordered with cylinder dogging or less dogging. The Von Duprin 7827 in 3 ft is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device specified with hex key dogging. Keep in mind dogging is not available on fire exit hardware, so a fire-rated opening removes that comparison entirely.
22) Is the Arrow S1150 a substitute for the fire-rated Precision 2202?
They overlap but are not the same order. The Arrow S1150 in 30 inch is a fire rated surface vertical rod device supplied as device only, less trim, for 1-3/4 inch doors, and is listed for narrow or wide stile. The fire-rated Precision 2202 is a wide stile dummy-function device for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick, available in 36 and 48 inch lengths with pull or lever trim. Match door thickness, device length, and whether you need trim before treating one as a drop-in for the other.
23) What finish do I order to match the other exit devices in my building?
Ten finishes are offered on the 2202: 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 standardizing a fleet of commercial openings, 630 and 628 are the usual choices. Exterior doors are where 626W weatherized earns its place, and it pairs with the WTS and WTDS weatherized switch options.
