BEST S460 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) I have a PHI concealed vertical rod device that will not latch at the floor. Do I need a new strike?
A bottom rod that drops but does not hold is usually a worn, bent, or misaligned floor strike, and the S460 is the replacement part for PHI 2000 series CVR devices. It is sold as a strike on its own, not as a complete device, so the rest of the exit device stays in place. Confirm your device is a 2000 series CVR unit (2601 or 2800, for example) before swapping it in.
2) Can a Falcon 264 rim exit device strike be used in place of the PHI S460 bottom strike?
No. The PHI S460 is a flush-mounted bottom strike that receives the lower rod of a concealed vertical rod exit device, so it sets into the floor or threshold area at the bottom of the opening. The Falcon 264 is a rim exit device strike in the Falcon 24/25 Series, which mounts on the frame stop to catch the latch of a surface rim device at lock height. The two catch different latching hardware in different locations and are not interchangeable.
3) What is the PHI S460 strike made of and will it hold up in a high traffic entrance?
Steel with a black powder-coated finish, built for commercial duty. The coating gives corrosion resistance at a floor location where mopping and weather tracking are constant, and the flush mounting keeps the profile low so it is not a trip edge in traffic. It is specified for commercial use, not residential.
4) Will this strike work on a fire-rated opening with a concealed vertical rod device?
The S460 is intended for commercial panic and fire-rated door systems running PHI 2000 series concealed vertical rod hardware. On a fire opening the bottom latching point is part of the listed assembly, so the strike has to match the device the opening was listed with. Use the parent device's installation instructions to confirm the strike called out for your specific model.
5) Does the S460 come with anything else needed to finish the CVR installation?
It is the bottom strike component only. A full concealed vertical rod setup also needs the top strike at the head (the S519 is the matching PHI top strike) and the exit device itself. Plan the order around which of those you are actually replacing.
6) Does the PHI S460 work with any brand of exit device?
The S460 is built by Precision Hardware Inc. for PHI concealed vertical rod exit devices, including the 2000 series such as the 2601 and 2800 devices, and it pairs with PHI top strikes such as the S519. Other manufacturers use their own strike geometry - the Falcon 264, for example, is dedicated to the Falcon 24/25 Series. Confirm the device brand and series on the door before ordering the strike.
7) We are switching a door from concealed vertical rod to a rim exit device - what strike do we need instead of the S460?
A rim device latches into a frame-mounted strike rather than a bottom strike, so the S460 would no longer be used. The Falcon 264 is a rim exit device strike for Falcon 24/25 Series devices with a 9/16 inch depth. Match the strike to the rim device brand and series you install, and expect to fill or cover the floor prep the concealed vertical rod bottom strike occupied.
8) Where can I find the mounting and prep details for the PHI S460 strike?
Mounting prep for the S460 follows the parent exit device's instructions rather than being a standalone prep. The Precision Apex 2000 Series catalog covers the 2000 series concealed vertical rod hardware this strike belongs to, and BEST publishes it as the reference for the series.
