BEST 2715 626W 36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the BEST Precision 2715 exit device fit a 2 inch thick wood door?
Yes. The Precision 2715 concealed vertical rod device covers doors 1-3/4 inches to 2-1/4 inches thick, so a 2 inch wood door is in range. Door size is covered up to 4'-0" wide by 10'-0" high. It is built for wide stile wood doors, so it is not the device for a narrow stile aluminum opening.
2) Does the 2715 thumb piece trim stay unlocked all the time?
Yes, that is what the 15 function means on this device. The 2715 is thumb piece always active, so outside pulls and enters any time by depressing the thumb piece, with no key operation at the trim. If you need the outside side to lock, this is the wrong function in the 2700 family.
3) Will this concealed vertical rod device latch into my existing strikes?
The 2715 has a deadlocking stainless steel top latchbolt with a 3/4 inch throw and an independent action bottom bolt with a 5/8 inch throw. Check your head strike and threshold strike against those throws; if the door was previously fitted with a different maker's concealed rod device, plan on new top and bottom strikes and a new rod raceway prep in the door.
4) Can I use this on a fire rated wood door, and can I dog it down?
Fire rated versions are available, UL 10C and UBC 7-2 compliant for panic and fire exit hardware. But dogging is not available on fire exit hardware, so if you order the fire rated build you cannot hold the latch retracted. On the non-rated build you get standard 1/4 turn hex key dogging, and cylinder dogging or less dogging are also offered.
5) What is the wide stile equivalent to the Precision 2715 from another brand?
For a wide stile Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device, the Corbin Russwin ED5800 and the DORMA 9100 are the closest peers. The DORMA 9100 also covers 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors, same thickness range as the 2715, but it is non fire rated and uses a pushpad rather than a thumb piece trim. The ED5800 is listed for 1-3/4 inch doors, exit only and accepts trim. If the opening is narrow stile aluminum rather than wide stile wood, go to the Adams Rite 8600 or Corbin Russwin ED4800 instead.
6) I need a fire rated concealed vertical rod device for a hollow metal door, not wood. What should I look at?
The Precision 2715 is built for wide stile wood doors. For hollow metal, the Adams Rite 3600 and 3900 are fire rated Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod devices, the 3900 carrying a 1-1/2 hour rating, and the Sargent 12-MD8613 is a fire rated Grade 1 wide stile device in classroom function. The Adams Rite 8500 is the same style for metal doors without a fire rating.
7) Which concealed vertical rod device should I use if the opening needs classroom function rather than an always-active thumb piece?
The Sargent 12-MD8613 is a Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod device in classroom function and is fire rated. The BEST Precision 2715 operates with a thumb piece that is always active, so keyed classroom control of the outside trim is not what it does.
8) Do I have to specify handing when ordering the 2715?
No. The 2715 is field reversible for all functions and trims, and ships standard as RHRB. You reverse it on site rather than ordering a hand, which makes it easier to stock one device across a building.
9) What does the LBR less bottom rod option do on a concealed vertical rod device?
Ordering LBR deletes the bottom rod and bottom bolt, so the door secures at the head only. Installers pick it to avoid a floor strike where the threshold gets wet, dirty, or is carpeted. Without LBR you get the independent action 5/8 inch throw bottom bolt. It is a required choice on the order, yes or no.
10) What size device do I order for a 36 inch wide wood door?
Two device lengths are offered, 36 inch and 48 inch. A 3'-0" leaf takes the 36 inch device; the 48 inch covers openings out to the 4'-0" maximum door width this series handles.
11) Does a pull trim come with the 2715 or do I order it separately?
Trim is a choice on the device. You can take it as device only with no trim, or with 1705A, 1705B, or 1705C pull trim, the difference being the grip style. Since the 2715 is thumb piece always active, the trim is the outside operating hardware, not a dummy pull.
12) Is a concealed vertical rod device the right choice, or should I use a surface rod device?
Concealed rod puts the rods and latches inside the door, so nothing is exposed on the face and there is nothing to be kicked or vandalized. The tradeoff is that the door has to be prepped for it, which means a factory prepped wood door for the 2715. Surface vertical rod is the choice when you are retrofitting an existing door that has no internal raceway, because it mounts on the face. Both latch top and bottom, so either one secures a pair of doors without a center mullion.
13) Is the Precision 2715 heavy enough for a high traffic school or hospital entrance?
It is ANSI/BHMA certified to ANSI 156.3 Grade 1, the top commercial grade, and built on an investment cast steel chassis with zinc dichromate finish, heavy wrought brass, bronze or stainless components, and a stainless steel top latchbolt. That is the spec normally written for school, healthcare, and government openings.
14) If I only need an exit only concealed rod device with no outside trim, is the 2715 overkill?
Probably. The 2715 is specifically the thumb piece always active function, meaning it is set up for outside entry. If nobody enters from outside, look at an exit only concealed vertical rod device instead, such as the CRL Jackson 1085 in 48 inch non-handed, the Falcon 1690EO or 1990EO, or the Von Duprin 3347A-EO, which comes less bottom rod. The 2715 itself can be ordered device only with no trim, but you are still paying for the thumb piece chassis.
15) What is a simpler exit-only concealed vertical rod device if I do not need the always-active thumb piece trim of the BEST 2715?
The Corbin Russwin ED5800 is a Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod device listed as exit only and able to accept trim, for 1-3/4 inch doors. The CRL Jackson 1085 Series is a non-handed 48 inch wide stile exit only panic device. Both drop the outside operating trim the 2715 carries with its 1705 pull trim options.
16) I want a crossbar device instead of a touchbar. What concealed vertical rod options use a crossbar?
The Von Duprin 5547 and the Corbin Russwin ED7800 are both Grade 1 crossbar concealed vertical rod devices, each listed for 1-3/4 inch narrow stile doors. The BEST Precision 2715 is a touchbar device with hex, cylinder, or less dogging choices, so if the specification calls for a crossbar look the crossbar units are the ones to quote.
17) The inactive leaf only needs matching hardware, not a working device. Is there an alternative to ordering a BEST 2715?
For a leaf that only needs the appearance of a device, the Falcon 1491DT is a dummy trim narrow stile concealed vertical rod unit with a 9970 pull, 42 inches, Grade 1, for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Precision 2715 is a working panic and fire exit device, so it would be over-specified for a non-operating leaf.
18) If I do not need a fire rating, what non-rated concealed vertical rod devices compare to the BEST 2715?
The Precision 2715 can be ordered non-rated or fire-rated. Non-rated peers include the Adams Rite 8500 Series, a Grade 1 wide stile device for hollow metal doors, and the DORMA 9600BB, a Grade 1 heavy duty 36 inch narrow stile pushpad device for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. Choose on stile width and door material.
19) What is an equivalent to the BEST 2715 ordered less bottom rod?
The Precision 2715 can be configured with the LBR less bottom rod option. The Von Duprin 3347A-EO is a Grade 1 narrow stile exit only concealed vertical rod device supplied less bottom rod for 1-3/4 inch doors, which is the comparable arrangement on a narrow stile opening.
20) Are the Falcon 1690EO and 1990EO drop-in replacements for the BEST Precision 2715?
No. Both Falcon devices are Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod units in exit only function for 1-3/4 inch doors, the 1690EO at 3 feet and the 1990EO at 44 inches. The 2715 is a wide stile wood door device with an always-active thumb piece for outside entry, so swapping in an exit only narrow stile unit changes both the door prep and the way the opening is used.
21) For a metal door with hex dogging, what concealed vertical rod device is comparable to the BEST 2715?
The Sargent MD8613F-LTRIM is a Grade 1 heavy duty concealed vertical rod device for metal doors at 36 by 84 inches with hex dogging. The Precision 2715 is also offered with hex dogging, along with cylinder dogging and less dogging, but it is the wide stile wood door device.
22) Can I match the 2715 to dark bronze or matte black hardware already in the building?
Yes. Finishes run 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. For exterior openings the 626W weatherized chrome pairs with the weatherized WTS and WTDS switch options.
23) What are my 36 inch wide stile concealed vertical rod choices besides the BEST Precision 2715?
The Precision 2715 comes in 36 inch and 48 inch device sizes for wide stile wood doors. Among wide stile peers, the DORMA 9100 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty pushpad device and the Corbin Russwin ED5800 is a Grade 1 wide stile unit for 1-3/4 inch doors. The CRL Jackson 1285 push pad device is listed for narrow, medium or wide stile applications.
