BEST 2805 626W 36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the BEST Precision 2805 exit device fit a 2-inch thick door?
Yes. The Precision 2805 concealed vertical rod device covers doors 1-3/4 inches through 2-1/4 inches thick, so a 2 inch door is in range. Door size limit is 4'-0" wide by 10'-0" high. Device lengths are 36 inch and 48 inch, so pick the 36 inch for a 3'-0" door and the 48 inch for a 4'-0" door.
2) Will the top latchbolt on the Precision 2805 engage my existing head strike?
The 2805 uses a stainless steel deadlocking top latchbolt with a 3/4 inch throw and a steel plated bottom bolt with a 5/8 inch throw. Those throws match standard concealed vertical rod strike prep at the head and threshold, but the strike locations still have to line up with Precision's template, so check the existing prep against it before reusing strikes.
3) What do I have to specify when ordering a BEST Precision 2805?
Five decisions. Rating (non-rated or fire-rated), device length (36 inch or 48 inch), dogging (hex dogging is standard, or cylinder dogging, or less dogging), finish, and trim. Trim choices are the 1705A, 1705B, or 1705C pull trim grips, or device only with no trim. Less Bottom Rod (LBR) is a required yes or no. Functions are field selectable and the "03" function ships when nothing is specified.
4) What is a comparable wide stile concealed vertical rod device to the Precision 2805 from another brand?
The closest match on door thickness is the DORMA 9100 Series, a Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod pushpad device also listed for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. The Corbin Russwin ED5800 is a Grade 1 wide stile concealed rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors that accepts trim. If fire rating is the driver, the Adams Rite 3600 and 3900 Series are Grade 1 wide stile fire-rated concealed rod devices, and the Sargent MD8613 is a Grade 1 fire-rated wide stile device in a classroom function.
5) The 2805 will not fit my aluminum storefront stile. What concealed vertical rod device should I use instead?
The Precision 2805 is a wide stile device, so on a narrow aluminum stile look at a narrow stile concealed vertical rod unit: the Adams Rite 8600 Series is built specifically for aluminum doors, and the Corbin Russwin ED4800 and Von Duprin 3347A are Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod devices for 1-3/4 inch doors. The DORMA 9600BB is a 36 inch narrow stile pushpad version.
6) Which concealed vertical rod devices look like a substitute for the 2805 but are not?
Two to rule out. The Falcon 1491DT is dummy trim - it has no latching function and cannot secure or release an opening the way the Grade 1 Precision 2805 does. The Adams Rite 8500 Series is a wide stile Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device but is non fire-rated, so it will not stand in where the fire-rated 2805 is specified. The Adams Rite 8600 is narrow stile and will not land on a wide stile door.
7) Should I use a concealed vertical rod device like the 2805 or a surface vertical rod?
Concealed rod devices like the Precision 2805 run the rods inside the door, so nothing is exposed to abuse or vandalism and the door face stays clean. That requires a door prepped or preppable for concealed rods, which usually means ordering the door that way. Surface vertical rod devices mount on the face and can be retrofitted to a door that was never prepped. Both latch at the head and the threshold, so either one secures a pair of doors without a center mullion.
8) Do I need to order the Precision 2805 handed?
No. The 2805 is reversible for all functions and trims, and it ships packaged RHRB as standard. One part number covers both hands, which is why property managers standardizing across a building can stock a single device instead of a left and a right.
9) Should I order the 2805 less bottom rod (LBR)?
Order LBR when you want to eliminate the bottom rod and bolt, which is common where floor debris, carpet, or an uneven threshold fouls the bottom latch, and on doors where the floor strike is a trip or maintenance problem. Dropping the bottom rod means the door latches only at the head, so on a fire-rated pair check that the LBR configuration is acceptable for the opening. The standard build keeps the 5/8 inch throw bottom bolt.
10) What finishes does the BEST Precision 2805 come in, and is there one for exterior doors?
Ten finishes: 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 steel, and 690 statuary dark bronze. For an exterior opening the 626W weatherized satin chrome is the one to pick, and it pairs with the weatherized WTS or WTDS switch options.
11) Does the Precision 2805 come with outside trim, or do I order that separately?
Trim is part of the order. The 2805 is the key controls thumb piece version, and the trim choice is 1705A, 1705B, or 1705C pull trim (the A, B and C grip styles) or None for device only. Choose device only if you are reusing existing pull trim or the opening is exit only. Note that several comparable concealed rod devices, like the Falcon 1690EO and Von Duprin 3347A-EO, are exit only and take no outside operating trim at all.
12) Can I dog the Precision 2805 open during business hours?
Yes on the non-rated version. Hex dogging is the standard, which holds the touchbar depressed with a hex key so the door pushes free. Cylinder dogging lets staff dog and undog with a key instead of a tool, which is the better pick where a receptionist or teacher handles it. Less dogging is the option to choose on a fire-rated opening, where dogging is not allowed.
13) My spec calls for a crossbar instead of a touchbar. What replaces the 2805?
The Precision 2805 is a touchbar device. If the drawing calls for a crossbar, the Corbin Russwin ED7800 is a Grade 1 narrow stile crossbar concealed vertical rod device that accepts operator trim, and the Von Duprin 5547 and 7547 are Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod devices for 1-3/4 inch doors, the 5547 being a crossbar unit.
14) I need one concealed vertical rod device that can go on narrow, medium and wide stile doors. Is the 2805 that device?
The Precision 2805 is a wide stile device for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick. If you want a single push pad model that spans stile widths, the CRL Jackson 1285 is listed for narrow, medium or wide stile in exit only function.
15) How does the Sargent MD8613F with L trim compare to the Precision 2805 for a 36 inch metal door?
The Sargent MD8613F-LTRIM is a heavy duty Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device for metal doors at 36 by 84 inches with hex dogging. The Precision 2805 is also offered in a 36 inch size with hex dogging as standard, and adds cylinder dogging and less dogging as ordering choices along with a Key Controls thumb piece rather than lever trim.
