BEST 5114 689 36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does "lever always active" mean on the Precision 5114 exit device?
The outside lever trim stays unlocked at all times, so anyone can pull the door open from the outside without a key while the touchbar handles egress from the inside. It is the right choice for a door that needs free two-way traffic but still has to meet panic hardware code. If you need the outside to stay locked, you want a night latch or classroom function device instead, not the 5114.
2) Do I need to order the lever trim separately with the 5114?
It is an ordering choice. The 5114 can be configured with 814A keyed lever trim or as device only with no trim. If you already have serviceable outside trim, order the device alone; if the opening is new, take the 814A so the lever function is complete out of the box.
3) Is there a fire rated version of the BEST Precision 5114 rim device?
Yes, the 5114 is built both fire rated and non-fire rated, and it is UL listed for panic and fire exit hardware. One catch: dogging is not available on fire exit hardware, so a fire rated opening has to be ordered less dogging. Hex key dogging or cylinder dogging only go on the non-rated version.
4) Will the 5114 latch into the strike I already have on the frame?
The 5114 uses a stainless steel deadlocking latchbolt with a 3/4 inch throw, mounted as a rim device, so it latches into a surface rim strike on the frame stop, not into a mortised ANSI strike. If the old device was also a rim panic, the existing strike will usually line up; if you are coming off a mortise lock or a vertical rod device, plan on a new rim strike and frame prep.
5) Can I use a rim exit device like the 5114 on a pair of doors?
Only with a removable mullion between the leaves. A rim device latches into a strike on the vertical member beside the door, so a pair with no mullion gives it nothing to catch. For a true mullion-free pair you need vertical rod hardware instead, such as the Hager 4501 Series 36 inch Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device or the narrow stile Hager 4601.
6) What is the closest cross-brand match to the BEST Precision 5114 for a 48 inch wide stile door?
At 48 inches, the BEST Precision 5114 covers doors up to 4 feet wide at 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch thickness. The Dormakaba DORMA 9300 Series 48 inch wide stile panic rim device is the closest match on those figures, listing the same 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range with Grade 1 heavy duty construction. Other 48 inch options are the Corbin Russwin ED3200 Grade 1 crossbar rim device and the Sargent 2828 and 3828 Grade 1 reversible rim devices for 48 inch doors. The DORMA 9300A and the Sargent units are exit only, so specify trim separately if you need outside lever access the way the 5114 provides with 814A trim.
7) Is the Cal-Royal 5000 or 5500 a direct substitute for the BEST Precision 5114?
They are both rim exit devices but they are not certified the same. The BEST Precision 5114 is ANSI/BHMA certified to ANSI 156.3 Grade 1. The Cal-Royal 5000 is a 36 inch touch bar rim device with a Grade 2 chassis and the Cal-Royal 5500 is a 48 inch push bar rim device listed Grade 2. If your specification calls out Grade 1 exit hardware, the Cal-Royal units will not satisfy it. Both Cal-Royal devices are non fire rated, while the 5114 can be ordered fire rated.
8) I need access control on the exit device. Is the 5114 with touchbar monitoring the same as an electrified exit device?
No. The BEST Precision 5114 offers touchbar monitoring switch options (TS, TDS, and weatherized WTS and WTDS) plus exit alarm kits; those report or annunciate use of the bar, they do not electrically control the latch. If you need electric latch retraction or electrified outside trim, look at the Dormakaba E2103 electrified 36 inch rim device with 4908A trim in classroom function, the SDC S6136 Spectra electrified architectural rim device for 36 inch wide stile doors with a 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch door thickness range, or the Sargent 12-8810 fire rated wide stile device with RX and MELR. The SDC MSB550 mechanical switch bar and PSB560 pressure sense bar are switch bars for electromagnetic lock release rather than latching exit devices like the 5114.
9) Should I spec hex dogging or cylinder dogging on a rim exit device?
Hex key dogging is the standard 1/4 turn setup on the 5114 and it is fine where only staff touch it, typically a back-of-house or office door. Cylinder dogging takes a keyed cylinder instead, which is what you want on a public or tenant door where you do not want anyone with a hex wrench holding the latch retracted. On a fire rated door, neither applies, order less dogging.
10) Which size 5114 do I order for a 36-inch door?
The 5114 comes in 36 inch and 48 inch device lengths. Match the device length to the door leaf, 36 inch for a 3'-0" door and 48 inch for a 4'-0" door, which is the widest opening this device covers. Touchbar height sets at 40-5/16 inches from the finished floor as standard.
11) Do I have to worry about handing when ordering the Precision 5114?
No. The 5114 is non-handed, so one part number covers left and right hand doors. For a property manager or MRO buyer standardizing across a building, that cuts what you have to stock to two finishes, 689 aluminum painted and 695 dark bronze painted.
12) What cylinder prep does the 5114 keyed lever trim cover?
The trim covers ANSI A115.2 (Type 161) or ANSI A115.18 cylinder lock preparation, so a door already prepped to either of those standards takes the 814A keyed lever trim without new routing. That is the usual prep on commercial hollow metal doors.
13) Is the BEST Precision 5114 Grade 1?
Yes, the 5114 is ANSI/BHMA certified to ANSI 156.3 Grade 1 and UL listed for panic and fire exit hardware, with a stainless steel active case and latchbolt. That is the tier most institutional and government specs call for on egress doors.
14) For a high traffic school or stadium door, is there a heavier alternative to the BEST Precision 5114?
The BEST Precision 5114 is Grade 1 with a stainless steel active case and 3/4 inch throw deadlocking latchbolt. If you want a heavier classification, Detex Advantex rates its devices above standard heavy duty: the Detex 10 Series 36 inch wide stile and the Detex 40 Series narrow stile are both Grade 1 extra heavy duty rim devices. Neither is offered with the always active keyed lever trim configuration the 5114 provides through 814A trim.
15) My spec calls for a crossbar or push bar look instead of a touchbar. What replaces the 5114?
The BEST Precision 5114 is a touchbar device with a standard bar height of 40-5/16 inches from the floor. For a crossbar appearance, the CRL Jackson 1095 Series 48 inch crossbar rim panic device and the Corbin Russwin ED3200 Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim device cover the same 48 inch width. For a push bar, the Cal-Royal 5500 is a 48 inch push bar rim device and the Sargent 3828 is a Grade 1 standard push bar rim device for 48 inch doors. CRL Jackson also offers a paddle version, the 1095P, and a non-handed push pad device, the 1295 Series, for 1-3/4 inch doors.
16) What looks like a substitute for the 5114 but is not a functioning rim exit device?
Two items in the same family should not be ordered as replacements for the BEST Precision 5114, which is a UL listed panic and fire exit device with a 3/4 inch throw deadlocking latchbolt. The Detex Advantex 00 Series is a dummy exit device in wide stile design, so it has no latching function, and the Sargent 12-8810 is listed with a dummy function as well. The Dexter ED1500-EXTRD-SP is a 12 inch extension rod assembly for ED1500 devices, a component rather than a device. The Securitron EMB is an electromechanical exit bar for 2-1/4 inch doors rather than a mechanical latching rim device.
17) Can I use a rim device like the 5114 where the drawing shows concealed vertical rod?
No. The BEST Precision 5114 is a rim device, latching to a surface strike on the frame head or jamb. A concealed vertical rod opening needs a CVR device such as the Hager 4501 Series 36 inch Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device with wide stile pushpad, or the Hager 4601 Series 36 inch Grade 1 narrow stile CVR. The Dormakaba QED200 is offered as a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow device with a 36 inch bar and 7 foot rod. Door prep and top and bottom latch points differ, so the two are not interchangeable on an existing prep.
18) I need night latch function rather than the always active lever on the 5114. What should I order?
The BEST Precision 5114 pairs with 814A keyed lever trim in an always active configuration, meaning the outside lever retracts the latch at all times. If the opening calls for key-only outside access, the Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 narrow design rim exit device in night latch function, and the Detex V4003A/03AN is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device offered with night latch trim.
19) Is there a simpler standard duty rim device than the BEST Precision 5114 for a low traffic back door?
The BEST Precision 5114 is a Grade 1 device with stainless steel active case sized for doors up to 4 feet wide. For a lighter opening, the Hager 4701 Series 36 inch is a standard duty rim device that still carries Grade 1 BHMA certification, and the Design Hardware 2000R is a 33 inch standard duty rim device with hex key dogging. The Imperial USA ED-501 is a Grade 1 36 inch wide stile rim panic device in exit only function. All three are non fire rated, so they will not cover a labeled opening where the fire rated 5114 would.
20) How do the finish choices on the BEST Precision 5114 compare with other rim exit devices when matching existing doors?
The BEST Precision 5114 is ordered in 689 aluminum painted or 695 dark bronze painted. Those two painted finishes are the common storefront and commercial pairings, so on a building already running painted aluminum hardware the 5114 matches without a special order. If a different device body is needed on the same elevation, narrow stile options such as the Adams Rite 8800 or TownSteel ED8900 are Grade 1 rim devices that can sit alongside it on adjacent openings, keeping the Grade 1 rating consistent across the entrance.
