BEST 2414 626W 36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the BEST 2414 rim exit device fit a 2-inch thick aluminum storefront door?
Yes. The 2414 covers doors from 1-3/4 inches up to 2-1/4 inches thick, so a 2 inch stile door is in range. It is a narrow stile device built for openings up to 4 feet wide. One limit to watch: it is not rated for wood doors, so keep it on aluminum or hollow metal.
2) Does the 2414 exit device latch into a standard strike, and how much throw does it have?
The latchbolt is stainless steel, deadlocking, with a 3/4 inch throw. It ships with the S988 standard package for aluminum door applications, which uses a black powder coated stainless steel roller strike, and the S458 strike is an option. Since it is a rim device, the strike mounts on the frame stop rather than being mortised into the jamb.
3) I need this on a fire rated exit door. Can I still get hex key dogging?
No. Dogging is not available on fire exit hardware. The 2414 is offered in both non-rated and fire rated versions, and hex key dogging (1/4 turn) is standard only on the non-rated build. If you order the fire rated version you should take the less dogging option. Cylinder dogging is the other choice on non-rated doors when you want a keyed hold-open instead of a hex key.
4) Do I have to specify handing on the BEST 2414?
The device itself is non-handed. Handing only comes into play if you add lever trim, and then you specify RHR (right hand reverse) or LHR (left hand reverse). If you order the device alone with no trim, no handing is needed.
5) What function do I get with the 2414, and what do I need to add to make it a classroom or storeroom opening?
Out of the box the 2414 is a universal device. The function is set by the trim you pair with it, including a handed double cylinder "10" function. Four lever trims are offered, 2914A, 2914B, 2914C and 2914D, plus a device only option if you already have trim or want exit only. So order the device and the trim together if the outside needs to operate.
6) Will the BEST 2414 secure a pair of doors without a mullion?
No. A rim device latches into a strike on the frame stop, so on a pair you need a removable mullion for the strike to mount to, or a vertical rod device that latches at head and threshold instead. If you want vertical rod on a narrow stile pair, the Hager 4601 is a Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod device.
7) The opening is a wood door - can I still use the BEST 2414?
No. The BEST 2414 is listed as not wood door compatible. If the leaf is wood, the Adams Rite 3700 Series fire-rated narrow stile rim device and the Adams Rite 8700 Series narrow stile rim device are both listed as wood door compatible and both carry Grade 1, keeping the narrow stile profile. The 3700 is fire rated and the 8700 is not, so pick according to whether the opening is on a rated assembly.
8) What is the closest narrow stile Grade 1 rim exit device to the BEST 2414 if I need a different brand on the same aluminum storefront door?
The BEST 2414 is a narrow stile rim exit device with Grade 1 certification, rated for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick doors and not intended for wood doors. The closest cross-brand matches on stile type and grade are the TownSteel ED3700, a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim device in a 36 inch size, the TownSteel ED8900 in the same narrow stile Grade 1 heavy duty configuration, and the Corbin Russwin ED4200, a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors that accepts trim. The Detex 40 Advantex is also a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device, rated extra heavy duty. All four are listed as not wood door compatible, same as the 2414.
9) I need a narrow stile rim device on a 2-inch thick door - which options actually cover that thickness?
The BEST 2414 accommodates doors from 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick, so a 2 inch door is within range. Most narrow stile alternatives are listed for 1-3/4 inch only, including the Corbin Russwin ED4200, the Falcon 1590EO, the Falcon 1790EO and the Falcon 19-R. Among the wider thickness ranges, the Adams Rite 8800 narrow stile rim device is listed for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the Dormakaba DORMA 9300 covers the same range though it is a wide stile pushpad device.
10) Which narrow stile rim devices are fire rated if the 2414 fire rated build is not the route I take?
The BEST 2414 is offered in a Fire Rated build as well as non-rated, and hex key dogging is not available on fire exit hardware configurations. For a fire rated device in another brand, the Adams Rite 3700 Series is a fire rated Grade 1 narrow stile rim device that is also wood door compatible. Broader fire rated rim options include the Dexter ED1000 Grade 1 fire rated rim device, the Arrow FS1250 32 inch fire rated rim device, the Orca OED85 36 inch fire rated rim device, and the Marks USA M9900F in 36 inch and 48 inch fire rated exit only versions.
11) What looks like a substitute for the BEST 2414 but is not?
Several rim devices sit in the same aisle but solve a different problem. The SDC MSB550 is a mechanical switch bar with electromagnetic lock release and the SDC SureExit PSB560 is a pressure sense bar with tri-failsafe technology - these signal a lock to release rather than throwing a latchbolt, so they are not a drop-in for the 2414 and its stainless steel deadlocking latchbolt with 3/4 inch throw. The Securitron EMB is an electromechanical exit bar for 2-1/4 inch doors, again an electrified bar rather than a mechanical rim latch. The Detex Advantex 00 Series is a dummy exit device with no latching function. The Hager 4601 is narrow stile and Grade 1 but is a concealed vertical rod device, which needs a different door prep than a rim device.
12) I am standardizing a facility on Grade 1 exit hardware - which rim devices carry Grade 1 and which do not?
The BEST 2414 is ANSI/BHMA certified to ANSI 156.3 Grade 1. Among comparable rim devices, Grade 1 is carried by the TownSteel ED3700 and ED8900 narrow stile devices, the Corbin Russwin ED4200 and ED5200, the Detex 40 Advantex, the Falcon 19-R and 1590EO, the Dexter ED1000, the Hager 4701, and the Adams Rite 3700, 8700 and 8800 Series. The Cal-Royal 5000 and 5500 rim devices are listed as Grade 2, so they would not hold a Grade 1 standardization spec.
13) I need electric latch retraction on a narrow stile opening - is the 2414 the right pick or is there an electrified alternative?
The BEST 2414 can be ordered with device options including ELR electric latch retraction, MLR motorized latch retraction, DE delayed egress, and touchbar monitoring switches in standard and weatherized versions, all on the narrow stile device. For electrified rim hardware in other brands, the Dormakaba E2103 is an electrified 36 inch rim exit device with 4908A trim in an 08 classroom function, and the SDC Spectra S6136 is a 36 inch electrified architectural rim device built on a 4 inch wide stile, so it suits a wider rail than the 2414.
14) What size 2414 do I order for a 3 foot door versus a 4 foot door?
Two lengths are offered, 36 inch and 48 inch. Use the 36 inch on a 3'-0" leaf and the 48 inch on openings out to the 4'-0" maximum width the 2414 supports. Do not go above 4'-0" wide with this device.
15) Is the 2414 exit device rated for high traffic commercial use?
It carries ANSI/BHMA certification to ANSI 156.3 Grade 1 and is UL listed for both panic and fire exit hardware. Cover, touchbar, device channel, filler and end cap are heavy wrought brass, bronze or stainless steel. That is the level typically specified for school, hospital and office egress doors.
16) What is the difference between a narrow stile rim device like the 2414 and a wide stile one?
Narrow stile means the device and its trim are sized to fit the slim vertical rail of an aluminum storefront door; a wide stile device needs a much broader rail and will not mount on a typical storefront leaf. If your door is a hollow metal or flush leaf with plenty of stile, wide stile options such as the Corbin Russwin ED5200 or the TownSteel ED1100 apply instead. Other narrow stile alternatives include the Corbin Russwin ED4200 and the TownSteel ED3700 and ED8900.
17) What are the closest narrow stile alternatives to the BEST 2414 if I need one that also takes lever trim?
The Corbin Russwin ED4200 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device listed as exit only or accepts trim, for 1-3/4 inch doors. If you only need push-to-exit with no outside trim, the Falcon 19-R and Falcon 1590EO are Grade 1 narrow stile exit only devices for 1-3/4 inch doors. Note those Falcon and Corbin options are single thickness at 1-3/4 inch, while the 2414 goes to 2-1/4 inch, which matters on thicker storefront leaves.
18) If I do not need lever trim and just want exit only, what is a simpler alternative to the 2414?
The BEST 2414 can be ordered as device only or with 2914A, 2914B, 2914C or 2914D lever trim, so the lever is optional on the 2414 itself. If you want a device catalogued as exit only from the start, the Falcon 19-R is a Grade 1 narrow stile exit only rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Falcon 1590EO is a Grade 1 narrow stile exit only device in a 42 inch length, and the Marks USA M8800 is a 36 inch narrow stile exit only rim device. The Corbin Russwin ED4200 is exit only but accepts trim if you later add it.
19) My door has a wide stile - is the 2414 still the right device?
The BEST 2414 is built as a narrow stile device, so on a wide stile leaf you have other choices sized for that rail. Grade 1 wide stile rim options include the Corbin Russwin ED5200 for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin ED2200 36 inch exit only, the TownSteel ED1100 and ED9700 heavy duty 36 inch devices, the DORMA 8300, and the Detex 10 Advantex 36 inch extra heavy duty device. The DORMA 9300 is the wide stile option that matches the 2414 door thickness range of 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch.
20) Is there another narrow stile device with hex key dogging like the BEST 2414?
The BEST 2414 ships standard with 1/4 turn hex key dogging and can also be ordered with cylinder dogging or less dogging. For hex key dogging in another brand, the Stanley Security QED200 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim device with hex-key dogging, and the Dormakaba QED200 is the same series in a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow 36 inch device. The Design Hardware 1000R 33 inch heavy duty rim device also lists hex key dogging.
21) I need a night latch function on a narrow stile door - does the 2414 cover that or should I look elsewhere?
The BEST 2414 is a universal device where the function is set by the trim you add, and it is offered with 2914A, 2914B, 2914C or 2914D lever trim or as device only. If you want a device catalogued with a night latch function out of the box, the Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 narrow design rim exit device listed with a night latch function. The Detex V4003A/03AN is another night latch trim option but is a wide stile Grade 1 device.
22) The 2414 only comes in 36 inch and 48 inch - what if my door needs a shorter device?
The BEST 2414 is offered in 36 inch and 48 inch sizes. For shorter narrow stile rim devices, the Adams Rite 3700 and 8700 Series come in a 30 inch length and both are Grade 1 narrow stile, as does the Adams Rite 8800 Series at 30 inch. The Arrow FS1250 is a 32 inch fire rated rim device and the Design Hardware 1000R and 2000R are 33 inch rim devices.
23) What finishes does the BEST 2414 come in for matching 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 steel and 690 statuary dark bronze. For exterior storefront, the 626W weatherized chrome pairs with the weatherized WTS and WTDS switch options.
