BEST 2315 626W 36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the BEST Precision 2315 mortise exit device fit my 1-3/4 inch commercial door?
Yes. The Precision 2315 is built for doors up to 4 feet wide and 1-3/4 inches thick, which is the standard commercial door thickness. Device lengths come in 36 inch and 48 inch, so pick the 36 inch bar for a 3 foot leaf and the 48 inch for openings up to 4 feet.
2) Is the Precision 2315 handed, and can I flip it on the job?
It is handed, ordered as LHR (left hand reverse) or RHR (right hand reverse). That said, the touchbar assembly, mortise lock, and trim can all be reversed in the field, so a unit on the bench can be swapped to the other hand without a different part number.
3) Does the 2315 thumb piece stay active, or does it lock out from the outside?
The 2315 is the always-active thumb piece function: the outside thumb piece retracts the latch at all times, so it is a passage-style outside trim rather than a keyed or locked nightlatch. If you need outside trim that can be locked off, a night latch function device like the Sargent 8904 wide stile mortise device is the different animal.
4) Can I use the BEST Precision 2315 on a fire door?
Yes, order the Fire-Rated option. The 2300 Series is UL listed for both panic and fire exit hardware. One catch: hex key dogging is not available on fire exit hardware, so a fire-rated 2315 will not hold the latch retracted mechanically.
5) Will the 2315 latch into the strike that is already in my frame?
The Precision mortise lock uses a stainless steel deadlocking latchbolt with a 3/4 inch throw and an anti-friction design, plus a stainless sliding guardbolt. A standard mortise exit strike prepped for a 3/4 inch throw latch will take it. The 2300 Series is also built to retrofit into other manufacturers' mounting hole locations on the door, which usually keeps you off a new door prep.
6) What is a comparable Grade 1 mortise exit device if the opening is a narrow stile aluminum door instead of a wide stile door?
The BEST Precision 2315 mortise exit device is built for doors up to 4'-0" wide and 1-3/4" thick with a touchbar and thumb piece trim, and it retrofits other manufacturers' mounting hole patterns. For a narrow stile aluminum opening, the Adams Rite 8400 Series is a Grade 1 narrow stile mortise exit device made for aluminum doors, and the Von Duprin 5575-3ft is a Grade 1 narrow stile mortise lock exit device in a 3 ft length with a crossbar actuator and field reversible handing. The Sargent 8304 is another narrow stile mortise device, in a night latch function.
7) I need an exit-only mortise device with no outside trim - what should I order instead of the 2315?
The BEST Precision 2315 is the thumb piece always active version, meaning the outside thumb piece retracts the latch at all times. If you want no outside operation, the Falcon 25-M-EO is a Grade 1 wide stile mortise exit device in exit only function at 36 inches for 1-3/4" doors, and the Detex 30 Series Advantex is a Grade 1 wide stile mortise device supplied as device only, exit only. The Corbin Russwin ED5600AL is a Grade 1 wide stile mortise device that can be used exit only or with classroom or passage lever trim ordered separately.
8) Which wide stile mortise exit devices are fire rated like the fire-rated 2315?
The BEST Precision 2315 is offered in a fire-rated configuration and is UL listed for panic and fire exit hardware; note that hex key dogging is not available on the fire rated build. Among comparable wide stile mortise devices, the Adams Rite 3300 Series is Grade 1 and fire rated for wood and hollow metal doors, and the Corbin Russwin ED5600AL is a Grade 1 three hour fire rated mortise exit device. The Adams Rite 8300, Von Duprin 8875, 9875 and 9475/9575 wide stile mortise devices are non-fire-rated life safety devices.
9) What dogging choices do I have on the Precision 2315?
Three: hex dogging as standard (1/4 turn hex key), cylinder dogging if you want the bar held down by a keyed cylinder, or less dogging. Choose less dogging on any fire-rated opening, since dogging is not permitted there.
10) Does the 2315 come with outside pull trim or do I order that separately?
Trim is a choice on the order. You can take the device only, or take it with the 1705A pull trim with A grip. If the opening already has serviceable pull trim, device only is the cheaper line.
11) What grade is the BEST Precision 2315, and will it hold up in a school or hospital corridor?
It is BHMA certified to ANSI 156.3 Grade 1, the top commercial grade. The cover, touchbar, device channel, fillers, and end cap are heavy wrought brass, bronze, or stainless steel over an investment cast steel chassis, which is the build used for high-traffic education, healthcare, and government openings.
12) How does the Precision 2315 compare to a Von Duprin or Falcon mortise exit device?
All are Grade 1 wide stile mortise devices, but the functions differ. The Falcon 25-M-EO is exit only, no outside trim, on 1-3/4 inch doors. Von Duprin's 9875-3FT is a non-handed smooth case wide stile mortise device rated for 1-3/4 inch doors but not listed for wood doors, and the 8875-3FT is the crossbar version of the same. The 2315 is the one to take when you want an outside thumb piece that always retracts the latch, plus a fire-rated build option.
13) I need a lever on the outside instead of a pull. What should I order?
The 2315 is the thumb piece configuration, and its trim option is the 1705A pull with an A grip. If the spec calls for classroom or passage lever trim on a Grade 1 fire rated mortise exit device, the Corbin Russwin ED5600AL accepts passage or classroom lever trim (trim sold separately) on 1-3/4 inch doors.
14) The 2315 has to be ordered LHR or RHR - is there a wide stile mortise exit device that is non-handed?
The BEST Precision 2315 is ordered as LHR or RHR, though the touchbar assembly, mortise lock and trim can be reversed in the field. If you would rather stock a non-handed device, the Von Duprin 8875-3FT is a non-handed 36 inch wide stile crossbar mortise exit device and the Von Duprin 9875-3FT is a non-handed 3 ft smooth case wide stile mortise device, both Grade 1 for 1-3/4" doors. Both are listed as not compatible with wood doors, so confirm your door material first.
15) Is the Sargent 810 a substitute for the 2315 with 1705A pull trim?
No. The BEST Precision 2315 is a complete mortise exit device with a touchbar and an always active thumb piece, offered with 1705A A-grip pull trim or as device only. The Sargent 810 is dummy exit device trim - a pull with no latch operation - so it cannot serve as the exit device itself. It is the kind of part used on an inactive leaf, not a replacement for a latching mortise device.
16) We need electric latch retraction on a fire rated opening - does the 2315 cover that or do we need another device?
The BEST Precision 2315 can be ordered fire-rated and with ELR electric latch retraction or MLR motorized latch retraction as device options, so a single mortise device covers it. If the opening calls for a surface vertical rod rather than a mortise lock, the Sargent 1256NB-8710G is an 84 inch fire rated surface mount vertical rod exit device with electric latch retraction in a narrow stile configuration. Similar function, different latching method, so it suits a different door and frame prep.
17) What wide stile mortise device should I look at for an abuse-prone opening or a night latch function instead of an always active thumb piece?
The BEST Precision 2315 keeps the outside thumb piece always active, which is not what you want where the outside should stay secured. For a keyed night latch function, the Sargent 8904 is a Grade 1 wide stile mortise exit device in nightlatch function with 24VAC/DC operation. For rough service openings, the Von Duprin 9475/9575 Impact Series is a Grade 1 wide stile mortise lock exit device with a recessed push pad rather than an exposed touchbar.
18) What finishes can I get to match the rest of the doors in my building?
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, and 690 statuary dark bronze. For a building standardized on aluminum storefront hardware, 628 or 630 are the usual matches.
19) Do any comparable mortise exit devices match the finish range of the 2315?
The BEST Precision 2315 is offered in ten finishes including 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 and 690 statuary dark bronze, in 36 inch and 48 inch sizes. If you are matching existing hardware on adjacent openings, the practical move is to standardize on the 2315 across the group and select devices such as the Falcon 25-M-EO or Corbin Russwin ED5600AL only where the function differs, since those are exit-only style devices rather than thumb piece trim.
