BEST 2614 626W 36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I have to order the 2614 exit device left hand or right hand?
The device itself is non-handed, so one part number works on either swing with no field modification. Handing only comes into play if you add lever trim, in which case you specify RHR or LHR to match the opening.
2) Will the 2614 latch into my existing strikes at the head and threshold?
The top latchbolt is stainless steel, deadlocking, with a 3/4 inch throw; the bottom bolt is independent with a 5/8 inch throw. Compare those throws against the strike pockets you already have in the frame head and the floor. Top and bottom latch adjustors lock in place and are reachable through the door after installation, so minor alignment issues can be dialed in without pulling the device.
3) Can I use the 2614 on a fire rated opening, and can I still dog it?
Fire rated is an ordering choice on the 2614, and the device is UL listed for panic and fire exit hardware. Note the tradeoff: the standard 1/4 turn hex key dogging is not available on fire exit hardware, because fire doors must latch every time. If you need to hold the door in a push-pull state during business hours, that has to be a non-rated opening.
4) What is the LBR option on a concealed vertical rod device and when should I order it?
LBR means less bottom rod, so the device latches only at the head and the bottom bolt and floor strike are deleted. Order it where a floor strike is a trip hazard, where the threshold floods or gets dirty, or on carpeted openings. On the 2614 that is a required yes/no choice when you order.
5) Can I use the 2614 on a pair of doors with no center mullion?
Yes. A concealed vertical rod device latches at the frame head and at the threshold rather than into a strike on the jamb, so it secures both leaves of a pair without a removable mullion. Put a device on each leaf. Also worth knowing the rods run inside the door, so nothing hangs on the face of the leaf.
6) Is there a concealed vertical rod exit device that covers thicker doors than the Precision 2614?
The Precision 2614 is specified for 1-3/4 inch thick doors up to 4 feet wide by 10 feet high. If the leaf is thicker than that, the DORMA 9600BB Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile pushpad concealed vertical rod device covering 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors in a 36 inch size, and the wide stile DORMA 9100 Series covers the same thickness range.
7) The opening has a wide stile door, not narrow stile. What concealed vertical rod device should I use instead of the Precision 2614?
The Precision 2614 is built for narrow stile applications, so a wide stile leaf calls for a different device. Wide stile concealed vertical rod options include the Corbin Russwin ED5800, Grade 1 for 1-3/4 inch doors and able to accept trim; the DORMA 9100 Series, a Grade 1 heavy duty pushpad device covering 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors; and the Adams Rite 8500 Series for hollow metal doors, Grade 1 and non-fire rated.
8) What is the closest narrow stile concealed vertical rod equivalent to the BEST Precision 2614 from another manufacturer?
The Precision 2614 is a narrow stile concealed vertical rod exit device for 1-3/4 inch doors, ANSI/BHMA Grade 1, offered in 36 inch and 48 inch sizes with lever trim. The closest peers by build are the Corbin Russwin ED4800, a Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors that accepts trim, and the Von Duprin 3347A-3ft, a Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors in a 36 inch size. Falcon's 24-C Series is another Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors in a 36 inch length, though it is cataloged exit only rather than with lever trim.
9) Does the 2614 come with lever trim or do I order that separately?
Trim is a selection. You can take the device only, or add 2908A, 2908B, 2908C, or 2908D lever trim. This version is the always-active lever, so outside lever retracts the latches at all times. Pick the trim first, then state handing for it.
10) Should I pick cylinder dogging or hex key dogging on this exit device?
Hex dogging is standard and is the cheaper, tool-based option for a back-of-house door where only staff hold the wrench. Cylinder dogging lets you dog and undog with a keyed cylinder, which suits a storefront or lobby where a manager keys the door open for business hours and there is no loose hex tool to lose. Less dogging is the third choice, and it is what you take on a fire rated opening.
11) Is the 2614 Grade 1, and will it hold up in a school or hospital corridor?
ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 certified, which is the highest commercial durability level and what most institutional specs call for. Side filler and end cap are heavy wrought brass, bronze, or stainless steel, with investment cast steel chassis parts. It is a commercial-duty device, used in offices, schools, healthcare, retail, industrial, multi-tenant residential, and government buildings.
12) Can the 2614 be retrofitted into an existing door, or does it need a new door prep?
Concealed vertical rod means the rods live inside the door, so the leaf has to be prepped and routed for them; it is not a surface-mount swap. Use the manufacturer templates to mark the door and frame, drill and route as specified, then set the top and bottom latch adjustors through the door once the device is hung. If your existing door is not already prepped for a concealed rod device, plan on a prepped or new leaf.
13) I do not need lever trim, just push to exit. Is there a simpler alternative to the 2614?
The Precision 2614 carries a lever trim as its defining feature, with A, B, C and D lever trims or a device only configuration. If the opening never needs outside access, exit only narrow stile concealed vertical rod devices include the Falcon 1690EO and the Falcon 1990EO, both Grade 1 for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Von Duprin 3347A-EO, a Grade 1 narrow stile exit only device supplied less bottom rod.
14) Is a crossbar exit device a substitute for the Precision 2614 touchbar?
They are different actuation styles on the same latching concept. The Precision 2614 is a touchbar device, reflected in its touchbar monitoring switch and delayed egress device options. If the spec calls for a crossbar, the Von Duprin 5547 and the Von Duprin 7547 are both Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod crossbar devices for 1-3/4 inch doors in 36 inch lengths, and the Corbin Russwin ED7800 is a Grade 1 narrow stile crossbar concealed vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors that accepts operator trim.
15) Which concealed vertical rod devices are fire rated if I cannot use hex dogging on the 2614?
The Precision 2614 is offered in a Fire Rated configuration, and on fire exit hardware the standard 1/4 turn hex key dogging is not available. Other fire rated concealed vertical rod devices include the Adams Rite 3600 Series for hollow metal doors and the Adams Rite 3900 Series with a 1-1/2 hour rating, both wide stile Grade 1, and the Sargent 12-MD8613, a Grade 1 wide stile classroom function fire rated device.
16) What looks like a substitute for the Precision 2614 but will not latch the door?
The Falcon 1491DT is a narrow stile concealed vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors with a 9970 pull in a 42 inch length, but it is dummy trim function, so it does not latch or provide egress hardware the way the Precision 2614 does with its deadlocking top latchbolt at 3/4 inch throw and independent bottom bolt at 5/8 inch throw. Use a dummy only on the inactive leaf where no latching is required.
17) What concealed vertical rod option fits an aluminum storefront door instead of the Precision 2614?
For aluminum storefront, the Adams Rite 8600 Series is a narrow stile concealed vertical rod exit device built for aluminum doors, Grade 1 and non-fire rated. The Precision 2614 is a narrow stile concealed vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors and is offered in weatherized configurations, including a 626W satin chrome weatherized finish and weatherized touchbar monitoring switch options for exterior openings.
18) For a metal door pair with hex dogging, how does the Sargent MD8613F compare to the Precision 2614?
The Sargent MD8613F-LTRIM is a Grade 1 heavy duty concealed vertical rod exit device for metal doors at 36 by 84 inches with hex dogging. The Precision 2614 also ships with 1/4 turn hex key dogging as standard and additionally offers cylinder dogging or a less dogging configuration, plus a less bottom rod option for pairs where a bottom bolt is not wanted.
19) I am standardizing exit devices across a building with mixed door finishes. What finishes does the 2614 come in?
Ten finishes: 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 exterior openings the 626W weatherized chrome pairs with the WTS and WTDS weatherized touchbar switch options.
20) Is there a concealed vertical rod device that works across narrow, medium and wide stile doors?
The CRL Jackson 1285 push pad concealed vertical rod panic exit is cataloged for narrow, medium or wide stile doors and is exit only function. The Precision 2614 is specific to narrow stile applications but is non-handed and accepts A, B, C or D lever trim, so it covers openings that need outside lever access.
