Stanley Security QED128 36 7 626 LC – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Stanley QED128 exit device work on a 7-foot door, or is it only for 8-foot doors?
Both. The QED128 is ordered by door height, with 7 ft and 8 ft door configurations, and in either case you pick a 36 inch or 48 inch device size to suit the door width. The device is field sizeable, so the pushbar can be cut to the opening.
2) What does Less Bottom Rod mean on a concealed vertical rod exit device, and does it hurt security?
LBR deletes the lower rod and bottom latch, so the QED128 latches only at the head. It keeps the bottom of the door clear, which matters where there is carpet, a floor closer, an uneven threshold, or a drop of more than normal clearance. Standard CVR runs 96 inch rods for an 8 ft door; the LBR build omits the bottom section of that. You lose the second latching point, so on a pair of doors the inactive leaf needs to be handled by the top latch and an auxiliary device or flush bolts as your spec requires.
3) Is the trim and lever included, or do I order it separately?
Trim is not included with the QED128. It takes QED100 Series trim selections, so the lever or pull is a separate line on the order. Trim is thru-bolted to the device.
4) What is the difference between the Stanley QED128 concealed vertical rod device and a rim exit device like the Delaney 8000 Series?
The Stanley QED128 is a concealed vertical rod (CVR) device: latching hardware runs inside the door, and the QED128 is supplied less bottom rod (LBR) so only the top rod engages a strike in the frame head. The Delaney 8000 Series is a Grade 1 rim type device for a 36 inch door, which latches into a strike mounted on the frame face at the pushbar. Both are Grade 1, but the door prep is entirely different: CVR requires a door prepped for concealed rods, while a rim device mounts on the door face. If the doors on hand are not prepped for concealed rods, the rim device is the one that fits.
5) The QED128 needs outside trim for a classroom or office opening - do any of the alternatives handle that?
The Stanley QED128 covers Classroom/Storeroom and Office/Privacy/Apartment functions when paired with QED100 Series trim, which is ordered separately. The comparable Accentra devices - the 1800 Series, 2100 Series, 6100ED and 6200 Series - are all exit only, meaning egress from the inside with no outside operating trim. If the opening needs keyed or lever entry from the outside, the QED128 with matching QED100 trim addresses that where an exit only device will not.
6) Do I need to order handing for the Stanley QED128?
No handing to specify. The QED128 is non-handed and field reversible, so one device covers left and right hand openings. Useful if you are stocking spares for a building with doors swinging both ways.
7) What is cylinder dogging and what cylinder do I need for it?
Cylinder dogging lets you hold the pushbar depressed with a key so the door pushes free during business hours, then re-secure it after. The QED128 uses a conventional cylinder, which you buy separately and key into your building's system. If you would rather not issue a key for it, other QED100 devices offer hex key dogging instead.
8) Will this match the other exit devices already installed in my building?
If those doors carry Stanley QED100 or QED200 hardware, yes, the QED128 shares that styling. Finishes are 626 satin chrome, 605 bright brass and 313AN anodized duranodic bronze, and all three are offered in both the 36 inch and 48 inch device size, so you can carry one finish across a mix of door widths.
9) Should I use a concealed vertical rod device or a rim exit device?
A CVR like the QED128 hides the rods inside the door, so it suits openings where appearance matters and it latches at the head rather than the lock stile, which is how you secure a pair without a center mullion. It does require a door prepped for concealed rods. A surface rim device is the simpler and more common retrofit because it mounts entirely on the face of the door and latches into a rim strike on the frame. We carry Grade 1 rim options in 36 inch, including the Accentra 1800 and 2100 Series and the Delaney 8000 Series.
10) Is the Stanley QED128 rated for high traffic like a school corridor or a stadium exit?
It is ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1 heavy duty, the top durability tier for exit devices, and it is a commercial-duty product. Functions covered include classroom/storeroom and office/privacy/apartment, so it works for both secured and general egress openings in an institutional building.
11) Which alternative to the Stanley QED128 has a built-in alarm?
The Delaney 9000 Series (DLY-9000-36ALC) is a Grade 1 heavy duty rim type device for a 36 inch door supplied with alarm kit "C" cylinder, so it signals unauthorized use at the door itself. The Stanley QED128 is a mechanical concealed vertical rod device with cylinder dogging and no alarm function. Neither is fire rated.
12) Which exit device should I use if the door has a narrow stile instead of the wide stile the QED128 suits?
For narrow stile aluminum doors, the Accentra 6200 Series 36 inch Grade 1 rim exit device uses a narrow stile pushpad with a Pullman latch. The wide stile alternatives in the same family are the Accentra 1800 Series 36 inch, the 2100 Series 36 inch, and the 6100ED, all Grade 1 rim devices. All four are exit only function and none are fire rated, whereas the Stanley QED128 is a concealed vertical rod device with cylinder dogging.
13) Is there an exit device with hex key dogging instead of the cylinder dogging on the Stanley QED128?
Yes. The Accentra 6100ED is a Grade 1 rim exit device with a wide stile pushpad and hex key dogging, so it is held retracted with a hex wrench rather than a keyed cylinder. The Stanley QED128 uses cylinder dogging, which means it is dogged with a key and takes a cylinder you must order separately. Choose hex key dogging where you do not want the device consuming a cylinder from the keyway, and cylinder dogging where only keyholders should be able to dog the device.
14) I have a 48 inch wide door - what are my Grade 1 exit device options?
The Stanley QED128 is offered in a 48 inch device size for both 7 ft and 8 ft door heights, in 626 satin chrome, 605 bright brass, and 313AN anodized duranodic bronze, and it is field sizeable. Among the comparables, the Delaney F9000 Series (DLY-693302) is a Grade 1 fire rated heavy duty rim device for a 48 inch door in stainless steel. The other comparable Grade 1 devices are catalogued for 36 inch doors.
