BEST 2602 626W 36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the BEST Precision 2602 an actual exit device, or just the trim?
The 2602 is dummy trim, not a working exit device. Lock function is Dummy and it is non-keyed, so there is no latching, no dogging function of its own and no egress hardware. It is the push side or pull side hardware that makes the inactive leaf of a pair look and feel like the active one, built for narrow stile concealed vertical rod openings. If you need a leaf that actually latches at the head and sill, order a functioning concealed vertical rod device instead, such as the Corbin Russwin ED4800 narrow stile device or the Falcon 1690EO.
2) Do I have to order the 2602 dummy trim handed?
No handing on the trim itself. The 2602 is non-handed, so one part number covers both leaves. Handing only enters if you add lever trim: the 2902A, 2902B, 2902C or 2902D levers are specified RHR or LHR. Pick device-only and there is nothing to hand.
3) What length do I order for a 36 inch versus a 48 inch door?
Two sizes are built, 36 inch and 48 inch. Match the size to the door leaf width, the 36 inch for a standard 3 foot leaf and the 48 inch for a 4 foot leaf, which is the widest opening the 2602 covers. Nothing wider than 4 feet is offered.
4) Will narrow stile trim like the 2602 work on my wide stile hollow metal doors?
No. The 2602 is built for narrow stile concealed vertical rod openings, the aluminum storefront type door with a slim lock stile. On wide stile hollow metal, go to a wide stile concealed vertical rod device such as the Adams Rite 8500 Series or the Adams Rite 3600 Series if the opening is fire rated, or the Corbin Russwin ED5800. The DORMA 9100 is another wide stile pushpad option and covers 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors.
5) Can I use the BEST Precision 2602 on a 2-inch thick door?
The 2602 is specified for 1-3/4 inch thick doors. For thicker leaves, the DORMA 9600BB narrow stile pushpad concealed vertical rod device lists a door thickness range of 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch and is a heavy duty Grade 1 device at 36 inches; the wide stile DORMA 9100 covers the same 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch range.
6) What is the equivalent of a Falcon 1491DT dummy trim in the BEST Precision line?
The BEST Precision 2602 is the dummy trim for a narrow stile concealed vertical rod exit device, the same role the Falcon 1491DT fills in the Falcon 1490 Series. Both are dummy function, both are Grade 1, and both are built for 1-3/4 inch narrow stile doors. The Falcon 1491DT ships with a 9970 pull at 42 inches; the 2602 is ordered in 36 inch or 48 inch sizes with a choice of 2902A, 2902B, 2902C or 2902D lever trim or as device only. If the inactive leaf of a pair needs to match Precision 2600 Series hardware on the active leaf, the 2602 is the direct answer.
7) I need a classroom function concealed vertical rod device, not a dummy. What should I order?
The BEST Precision 2602 is non-keyed dummy function, so it cannot provide classroom control. For classroom function on a concealed vertical rod opening, the Sargent 12-MD8613 is a fire rated Grade 1 classroom function concealed vertical rod device in the Sargent 8600 Series, built for a wide stile leaf.
8) Which fire rated concealed vertical rod devices pair with a fire rated 2602 order?
The BEST Precision 2602 is ordered non-rated as standard or fire rated, and is UL listed for panic and fire exit hardware applications. On the operating leaves of a fire rated pair, the fire rated concealed vertical rod devices are the Adams Rite 3600 Series and the Adams Rite 3900 Series, which carries a 1-1/2 hour rating, both Grade 1 wide stile, and the Sargent 12-MD8613, a fire rated Grade 1 classroom function device.
9) What finishes can I get to match the exit devices already on my other doors?
Ten finishes are built: 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 coastal openings the 626W weatherized chrome is the one to pair with weatherized device options. Side filler and end cap are heavy wrought brass, bronze or stainless steel depending on finish.
10) What is LBR, less bottom rod, and should I select it on a 2602 order?
Less bottom rod deletes the lower rod and bottom latch, so the door secures only at the head. Contractors order it where a floor strike is a trip hazard or the threshold cannot be cut, and it keeps the sill clear for carpet or uneven floors. It is a required yes or no choice on the 2602. Note that on a fire rated opening, deleting the bottom rod has to match what the door and frame label permits.
11) What are the dogging choices on Precision 2600 Series hardware?
Three: hex dogging as standard, cylinder dogging, or less dogging. Hex dogging is held down with a hex key, which is fine where only staff touch it. Cylinder dogging keys the function so only a keyholder can dog the device down for business hours, which is what most schools and retail sites want. Less dogging is the one to order on a fire rated opening, since fire exit hardware cannot be held in a retracted state.
12) Can I get a lever on the outside of the dummy leaf?
Four lever trims are offered on the 2602: 2902A, 2902B, 2902C and 2902D, or you can take it device only with no trim. The levers differ in style, so match the one already on your other openings. If you choose any lever, you also specify handing as RHR or LHR, since the lever has to point the right way even though the trim body is non-handed.
13) Does the Precision 2602 need a mullion between the doors?
No. Concealed vertical rod hardware latches into the head and the threshold rather than into a center post, which is the whole reason it is used on pairs, it leaves the opening clear. On the 2602 that also means nothing is exposed on the face of the door, the rods run inside the stile. If you want a removable center post and a rim device instead, that is a different hardware type entirely.
14) Does the BEST Precision 2602 meet the same Grade 1 spec as Von Duprin and Corbin Russwin concealed vertical rod devices?
Yes. The BEST Precision 2602 is certified to ANSI 156.3 Grade 1. The Von Duprin 3347A at 36 inches, the Von Duprin 5547, the Von Duprin 7547, the Corbin Russwin ED4800, and the Falcon 24-C are all Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod devices for 1-3/4 inch doors, so a Grade 1 line on the drawing is satisfied by any of them. The distinction to hold onto is function: the 2602 is the dummy, the others operate.
15) Is the Adams Rite 8600 a substitute for the BEST Precision 2602?
They are not the same thing. The Adams Rite 8600 Series is a narrow stile concealed vertical rod exit device for aluminum doors, so it is an operating device. The BEST Precision 2602 is dummy function trim for a narrow stile concealed vertical rod opening, used on the leaf that does not need egress. They share the narrow stile concealed vertical rod family, which is why they look interchangeable in a search, but the 8600 latches and the 2602 does not.
16) What is the difference between the BEST Precision 2602 and a push pad panic device like the CRL Jackson 1285?
The CRL Jackson 1285 is a push pad concealed vertical rod panic exit device in exit only function, listed for narrow, medium or wide stile, and the CRL Jackson 1085 is a 48 inch non-handed exit only version for wide stile. Both provide egress. The BEST Precision 2602 is dummy function and non-handed, so it is the pull side hardware for a leaf where no panic operation is required. On a pair of doors, the panic device goes on the active leaf and the 2602 keeps the inactive leaf matching it.
17) The opening is a wood door. Which concealed vertical rod devices should I rule out?
The Von Duprin 7547 in the 75 Series is listed as not wood door compatible, so it is off the table for a wood leaf. The Adams Rite 3600 and 8500 Series are specified for hollow metal doors and the Adams Rite 8600 Series for aluminum doors, so those three are matched to their stated door material rather than wood.
18) I need hex dogging on the operating leaf to match the 2602 order. Which devices list it?
The BEST Precision 2602 is ordered with cylinder dogging, hex dogging as standard, or less dogging. The Sargent MD8613F-LTRIM is a 36 inch by 84 inch concealed vertical rod device for metal doors with hex dogging, heavy duty Grade 1 in the Sargent 80 Series, so it matches a hex dogging requirement on the active leaf.
19) Is the 2602 dummy trim durable enough for a school or hospital entrance?
It is a commercial-rated part. Side filler and end cap are heavy wrought brass, bronze or stainless steel, the lock stile assembly uses an investment cast steel chassis with a zinc dichromate finish for corrosion resistance, and it carries ANSI 156.3 Grade 1 certification, the highest commercial grade. That is the spec level facilities buyers standardize on across education, healthcare, government and multi-tenant buildings.
