BEST 2814 626W 36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the BEST Precision 2814 exit device fit a 2-inch thick door?
Yes. The Precision 2814 concealed vertical rod device covers doors 1-3/4 inches to 2-1/4 inches thick, so a 2 inch leaf is within range. Opening size is limited to 4'-0" wide by 10'-0" high.
2) Does the 2814 latch a pair of doors without a mullion?
Yes. As a concealed vertical rod device it latches at the head and at the threshold rather than into a strike on the opposite leaf, so a pair of doors can be secured with no center mullion. The top latchbolt is deadlocking stainless steel with a 3/4 inch throw and the bottom bolt is independent action with a 5/8 inch throw.
3) Can I get the Precision 2814 fire rated, and does dogging still work?
Fire rated and non-rated versions are both offered. Standard on the non-rated device is 1/4 turn hex key dogging, with cylinder dogging or less dogging also available. Dogging is not available on fire exit hardware, so a fire rated 2814 will latch on every swing with no hold-open.
4) Does the 2814 meet Grade 1 and panic hardware code requirements?
The 2814 is ANSI/BHMA certified to ANSI 156.3 Grade 1 and UL listed for panic and fire exit hardware. That covers the usual requirement in schools, healthcare, and assembly occupancies for listed panic hardware on egress doors.
5) What is the closest wide stile concealed vertical rod alternative to the BEST Precision 2814 for a 2-1/4 inch thick door?
The DORMA 9100 Series is a Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod exit device with a 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range, matching the 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch range the Precision 2814 covers. The 9100 uses a pushpad and is non-fire-rated, while the 2814 is offered in both non-rated and fire rated builds and takes 4914 series lever trim.
6) Do I need to order the 2814 handed?
No. The 2814 is reversible for all functions and trims and ships packed RHRB, so it can be handed in the field. If you are adding lever trim, handing is specified as RHR or LHR on the order.
7) What does the 2814 'lever/knob always active' function mean for a classroom or office door?
With the always active function, outside lever or knob trim retracts the latch at all times, so the door is never locked from the outside. Functions on the 2800 chassis are field selectable, and the standard "03" function ships when nothing is specified. If you need the outside trim to lock, a keyed function such as the Sargent MD8613 classroom device is the different approach.
8) Should I order the 2814 less bottom rod?
LBR is a build option on the 2814. Order it when the threshold condition makes a bottom bolt impractical, or where floor buildup and carpet would keep the bottom bolt from seating. Dropping the bottom rod leaves only the top latchbolt, 3/4 inch throw, doing the latching, so confirm that suits the opening's security requirement. LBR on a fire rated opening must match the listing for that door assembly.
9) What size 2814 do I order for a 36 inch wide door?
Device length comes in 36 inch and 48 inch. A 36 inch leaf takes the 36 inch device; the 48 inch is for wider openings up to the 4'-0" maximum door width.
10) Which lever trims and finishes can I get so the 2814 matches the rest of my building?
Trim choices are 4914A, 4914B, 4914C, 4914D, and 4914K lever trims, or device only with no trim. Ten finishes are offered: 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 wash-down openings the 626W weatherized finish pairs with the weatherized switch options.
11) I need a fire rated concealed vertical rod device on a hollow metal pair. What are my options besides the 2814?
The 2814 can be ordered fire rated and is UL listed for fire exit hardware. Alternatives from other brands include the Adams Rite 3600 Series, fire rated Grade 1 wide stile for hollow metal doors, the Adams Rite 3900 Series with a 1-1/2 hour rating, and the Sargent 12-MD8613 in classroom function. Remember no fire rated device can be dogged.
12) Should I use a concealed vertical rod device or a surface mounted one?
A concealed vertical rod device like the 2814 runs the rods inside the door, so nothing is exposed on the face and there is no rod to be kicked or vandalized, but the door must be prepped for concealed rods, which usually means ordering the door that way or buying a factory prepped leaf. Surface vertical rod hardware mounts to the door face and is the retrofit choice when the existing door has no internal raceway.
13) I only need exit-only, no outside trim - what is simpler than the BEST Precision 2814?
The Precision 2814 is built around lever/knob always active trim, with 4914 series lever trim offered. If the opening needs no outside operation, the Corbin Russwin ED5800 is a Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod device listed exit only and accepts trim, and the CRL Jackson 1085 Series is a 48 inch non-handed wide stile concealed vertical rod panic device in exit only function.
14) I need a classroom function concealed vertical rod device instead of always active lever - what should I look at?
The Precision 2814 is the lever/knob always active function in the 2800 Series, with functions field selectable. If the opening specifically calls for classroom function, the Sargent 12-MD8613 is a Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod exit device in classroom function with a fire rating.
15) Is a crossbar exit device an equivalent to the BEST Precision 2814?
Not directly. The 2814 is a touchbar device with a heavy wrought brass, bronze or stainless steel cover and touchbar. Crossbar concealed vertical rod alternatives include the Corbin Russwin ED7800, a Grade 1 narrow stile crossbar device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Von Duprin 5547, a Grade 1 narrow stile crossbar device at 36 inches. Both are narrow stile, so the door stile has to suit.
16) I need a matching inactive leaf device to pair with the BEST Precision 2814 on a pair of doors - what is available?
The 2814 is an active device with lever trim and a top and bottom latch. For a non-operating inactive leaf, the Falcon 1491DT is a dummy trim narrow stile concealed vertical rod device with a 9970 pull at 42 inches. Confirm stile width, since the 1491DT is narrow stile while the 2814 is a wide stile device.
17) What is the difference between the BEST Precision 2814 and the Sargent MD8613F when both are specified with hex dogging?
Both are Grade 1 devices. The Sargent MD8613F-LTRIM is a heavy duty 80 Series concealed vertical rod device sized for a 36 inch by 84 inch metal door with hex dogging and lever trim. The Precision 2814 also offers hex dogging as standard, plus cylinder dogging or less dogging, and covers openings up to 4 feet wide by 10 feet high with a top rod adjustable to 10 feet.
18) I am ordering the BEST Precision 2814 less bottom rod - is there a peer already configured that way?
The Precision 2814 offers a less bottom rod option at time of order. The Von Duprin 3347A-EO is a Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod device supplied exit only and less bottom rod for 1-3/4 inch doors, so it is the narrow stile counterpart when the opening will not take a wide stile device.
19) What is the 2814 made of, and will it hold up in a high-traffic entrance?
The cover, touchbar, device channel, lock and hinge side fillers and end cap are heavy wrought brass, bronze, or stainless steel depending on finish, over an investment cast steel chassis. Vertical rods are steel plated and the top latchbolt is stainless. That construction plus ANSI 156.3 Grade 1 is what puts it on school and hospital entrances rather than light commercial interiors.
20) Is the BEST Precision 2814 the right choice for a wood door, or should I look elsewhere?
The Precision 2814 is specified by door thickness, 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and stile width rather than by door material, so confirm the leaf against those. If you are cross-shopping, note the Von Duprin 7547 is listed as not wood door compatible, and the Adams Rite 8500 Series is a Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod device built for hollow metal doors.
21) Which concealed vertical rod device covers narrow, medium and wide stile doors if I want one part across a mixed building?
The CRL Jackson 1285 push pad concealed vertical rod panic exit is listed for narrow, medium or wide stile in exit only function. The BEST Precision 2814 is wide stile only, but covers a wider ordering range within that: 36 inch and 48 inch sizes, ten finishes from 605 Bright Brass to 690 Statuary Dark Bronze, and five 4914 lever trim styles.
