BEST 2302 626W 36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the dummy function on the BEST 2302 mortise exit device trim actually do?
Dummy means no key and no latch retraction from the outside. The 2302 is a non-keyed dummy trim for a mortise exit device, so the outside pull or lever is fixed and the door is opened only by pushing the touchbar from the egress side. If you need the outside trim to unlock the door, a dummy is the wrong function to order.
2) Will the BEST 2302 mortise exit device fit my door size and thickness?
It is built for doors up to 4 feet wide and 1-3/4 inches thick, with a standard 3 foot wide opening configuration. Touchbar length is ordered as 36 inch or 48 inch, so pick the 36 inch for a standard 3 foot leaf and the 48 inch for a 4 foot leaf. Thinner doors than 1-3/4 inch are outside what this device covers.
3) Can the BEST 2300 Series mortise exit device replace another manufacturer's device without redrilling the door?
The 2300 Series is designed to retrofit into other manufacturers' mounting hole locations, which is the point of it on upgrade work. It still needs the door to carry ANSI A115.1 Type 86 mortise prep and a 2-3/4 inch backset, so verify the existing lock case pocket matches before you pull the old device.
4) Do I have to specify handing on the BEST 2302, and can it be changed later?
Handing is a required choice, LHR or RHR. That said, the touchbar assembly, mortise lock and trim can all be reversed in the field, so a wrong call on the order is fixable at the opening rather than a return.
5) Is the BEST 2300 Series mortise exit device fire rated and Grade 1?
It is certified to ANSI 156.3 Grade 1 (BHMA Grade 1) and UL listed for both panic and fire exit hardware. Fire rated versus non-rated is a selection you make when ordering, so on a rated opening specify the Fire Rated option. Note that fire rated devices are ordered less dogging, since dogging is not permitted on a fire door.
6) If the door actually needs to latch, what mortise exit device should I use instead of the BEST 2302?
The BEST 2302 is dummy function, so it does not latch or retract a bolt. For a latching wide stile mortise device, the Falcon 25-M-EO is Grade 1 exit only for 1-3/4 inch doors in a 36 inch width, and the Corbin Russwin ED5600AL is Grade 1, 3 hour fire rated, and accepts passage or classroom lever trim. The Von Duprin 9875-3FT is a Grade 1 non-handed smooth case wide stile mortise device for 1-3/4 inch doors.
7) Will the BEST 2302 work on a narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
The BEST 2302 is built around ANSI A115.1 Type 86 mortise preparation with a 2-3/4 inch backset and an 8 inch by 1-1/4 inch lock front, which is wide stile prep. For narrow stile aluminum openings, the Adams Rite 8400 is a Grade 1 narrow stile mortise device for aluminum doors, the Sargent 8304 is a Grade 1 narrow stile mortise device in night latch function, and the Von Duprin 5575-3ft is a Grade 1 narrow stile crossbar mortise device for 1-3/4 inch doors.
8) What is a cross-brand equivalent to the BEST 2302 dummy trim for an inactive leaf?
The BEST 2302 is a dummy function mortise exit device assembly, non-keyed, used where the touchbar and trim are non-functional. The closest cross-brand peer is the Sargent 810 dummy pull exit device trim, also Grade 1 and dummy function, in the PE80 series. The difference in scope matters: the Sargent 810 is dummy pull trim, while the BEST 2302 is ordered as a full device with a 36 inch or 48 inch size, a finish, and an optional trim selection such as a 1702 pull or 4902 lever.
9) I need a fire rated mortise exit device - how does the BEST 2302 compare to the alternatives?
The BEST 2302 is ordered as Non-Rated or Fire Rated and is UL listed for panic and fire exit hardware. Fire rated peers include the Adams Rite 3300, Grade 1 and fire rated for wood and hollow metal doors, and the Corbin Russwin ED5600AL, Grade 1 with a 3 hour fire rating. By contrast the Adams Rite 8300, Adams Rite 8400, Von Duprin 5575-3ft, Von Duprin 8875-3FT, Von Duprin 9475/9575, and Von Duprin 9875-3FT are all listed with no fire rating.
10) What outside trim options can I get with the BEST 2302 mortise exit device?
Trim choices are the 1702 pull in A, B or C grip, the 4902 lever in A, B, C, D or K design, or None if you want the device only. Because this is the dummy function, the lever or pull is fixed and does not retract the latch.
11) Which dogging option should I order on the BEST 2300 Series exit device?
Hex dogging is standard and lets maintenance hold the latch retracted with a hex key during business hours. Cylinder dogging swaps that for a keyed cylinder so only keyholders can dog the device, which is the usual pick in schools and public buildings. Less dogging is the choice for fire rated openings.
12) Is there another brand of dummy exit device trim if BEST is not on my spec?
Sargent makes the 810 dummy pull exit device trim in its PE80 Series, Grade 1, which is the closest direct equivalent in another brand. The difference is that the BEST 2302 is built around ANSI A115.1 Type 86 mortise prep with a 2-3/4 inch backset, so if the door is already prepped for a mortise device the 2302 is the more direct drop-in.
13) The BEST 2302 is handed - is there a non-handed mortise exit device alternative?
The BEST 2302 is ordered LHR or RHR, though the touchbar assembly, mortise lock, and trim can be reversed in the field. If you prefer a device catalogued as non-handed, the Von Duprin 9875-3FT and the Von Duprin 8875-3FT are both Grade 1 wide stile mortise devices listed as non-handed, and the Von Duprin 5575-3ft narrow stile crossbar device is field reversible.
14) What looks like a substitute for the BEST 2302 but is not?
Two to watch. The Sargent 1256NB-8710G is Grade 1 but a narrow stile surface mount vertical rod device with electric latch retraction at 84 inches, not a mortise device on Type 86 prep. The Von Duprin 9475/9575 is a Grade 1 wide stile mortise device but uses a recessed push pad rather than the touchbar the BEST 2302 uses, and the Von Duprin 8875-3FT and 5575-3ft are crossbar devices, so the pushing surface and door face appearance differ from a touchbar device.
15) Is the BEST 2302 a simpler option than a night latch or electrified mortise device?
Yes in function. The BEST 2302 is non-keyed dummy function, so there is no cylinder and no outside latch release. If the outside side must release the latch by key, the Sargent 8304 is a Grade 1 narrow stile night latch mortise device and the Sargent 8904 is a Grade 1 wide stile night latch mortise device with 24VAC/DC operation. The BEST 2302 does offer electrified and monitoring add-ons such as MLR motorized latch retraction, delayed egress, and touchbar monitoring switches.
16) Which finish should I pick to match the other exit devices in my building?
Ten finishes are offered on the 2300 Series: 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, and 690 statuary dark bronze. For exterior or wash-down openings, 626W is the weatherized choice and pairs with the WTS or WTDS weatherized switch options.
17) Which mortise exit devices in the BEST 2302 class are all Grade 1?
The BEST 2302 is certified to ANSI 156.3 Grade 1. Every comparable mortise exit device carries Grade 1 as well, including the Adams Rite 3300 and 8300, the Adams Rite 8400 narrow stile, the Corbin Russwin ED5600AL, the Detex 30 Series, the Falcon 25-M-EO, the Sargent 8304 and 8904, and the Von Duprin 5575, 8875, and 9875. Because grade does not separate them, decide on stile type, fire rating, and door material instead.
