Stanley Security QED226 36 7 605 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I need to order the QED226 handed, or can I flip it in the field?
Non-handed. The QED226 ships field-reversible, so one device covers left and right hand openings, and it is field-sizeable as well. That makes it easy to stock a single part number across a building rather than carrying both hands.
2) Can I use the Stanley QED226 on a fire-rated door assembly?
Yes. The QED226 is UL-listed for fire-rated "A" label openings and carries a fire-rated mechanism with a bottom fire bolt. Because it is fire-rated it does not dog open, which is normal for fire exit hardware. If you need a device you can hold dogged down during business hours, you need a non-rated device instead.
3) What door heights and device sizes does the Stanley QED226 come in?
Two device lengths, 3 ft and 4 ft, each available for 7 ft or 8 ft door heights, in all three finishes. Pick the device length off the door width (the 4 ft device suits wider leaves) and the door size off the leaf height so the concealed rods reach top and bottom.
4) Should I use a concealed vertical rod device or a rim device?
The concealed vertical rod QED226 latches at the head and the sill with the rods hidden inside the door, so you get a clean face and can secure a pair of doors without a center mullion. A rim device is simpler to install and service since everything is surface applied and it latches into a strike on the frame or mullion, but the rods and strikes are visible. If the doors are already prepped for CVR, or the architect wants nothing exposed, go concealed; otherwise a narrow stile rim device like the Corbin Russwin ED4200 or TownSteel ED3700 is less work.
5) What trim and fasteners do I need to order with the QED226?
Mounting hardware comes with it: wood screws, machine screws, and sex bolts are in the box, and the trim is thru-bolted for a solid pull. Outside trim is a separate line item, chosen from the QED200 Series trims (Sierra and Summit styles among them). Exit-only, with no outside operation, needs no trim at all.
6) Is the Stanley QED226 rated Grade 1 and ADA compliant for an institutional spec?
It is certified ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1, heavy duty, UL-listed for A label fire doors, and stated ADA compliant. That combination covers most school, healthcare, and government egress specs calling for Grade 1 fire exit hardware.
7) I need fire-rated panic hardware but my doors aren't prepped for concealed rods. What should I look at?
Stick with a fire-rated rim device, which mounts entirely on the door face and needs no vertical rod prep. Options include the Arrow FS1250 (32 inch, fire rated), the Marks USA M9900F in 36 or 48 inch exit only, the Orca OED85 Series 36 inch, and the Dexter ED1000 Grade 1 fire rated rim device. All are for non-wood doors, same as the QED226.
8) What fire-rated exit device works on a wood door, since the Stanley QED226 does not?
The Stanley QED226 is a Grade 1 fire-rated concealed vertical rod device for aluminum and hollow metal stiles and is not rated for wood doors. For a labeled wood door, the Adams Rite 3700 is a 30 inch fire-rated Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device that is rated wood door compatible. Confirm the wood door's own label and the strike prep the frame allows before ordering.
9) Is the Dormakaba QED200 the same device as the Stanley QED226?
They are the same series but not the same configuration. The Dormakaba QED200 listed as a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow exit device with a 36 inch device and 7 ft rod shares the QED200 series designation and heavy duty Grade 1 rating with the Stanley QED226, which is also a QED200 series heavy duty Grade 1 narrow stile device. The QED226 is specifically the concealed vertical rod, fire-rated configuration with a bottom fire bolt. If the submittal calls out CVR with a fire label, the 226 configuration is the one to order.
10) What is the closest narrow stile concealed vertical rod exit device to the Stanley QED226 from another brand?
The Hager 4601 is the nearest match in concept: it is a 36 inch Grade 1 concealed vertical rod exit device with a narrow stile pushpad, so it mounts to the same narrow aluminum stile and latches top and bottom through concealed rods rather than at a rim strike. The difference that matters for a labeled opening is fire rating - the Stanley QED226 is a fire-rated CVR device with a bottom fire bolt and UL listing for A label applications, while the Hager 4601 is listed as non fire rated. For a wide stile door leaf instead, the Hager 4501 is the same 36 inch Grade 1 CVR device with a wide stile pushpad.
11) If the opening does not need concealed rods, what fire-rated narrow stile exit device can be used instead of the Stanley QED226?
A rim device is the simpler route when the frame will accept a surface strike. The Adams Rite 3700 is a 30 inch fire-rated Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device with starwheel interlocking, and it is rated for wood doors as well as aluminum. The Stanley QED226 is a Grade 1 fire-rated concealed vertical rod device that latches into the head and sill rather than a rim strike, and it is not rated for wood doors. The rim route requires strike prep at the head jamb or stop; the CVR route requires top and bottom rod prep in the door.
12) What finishes does the Stanley QED226 come in, and will it match my other openings?
Three finishes: Satin Chrome 626, Bright Brass 605, and Anodized Duranodic Bronze 313AN. All three are offered on both the 3 ft and 4 ft devices for 7 ft and 8 ft doors, so you can standardize one finish across a building. 626 is the usual pick alongside brushed chrome levers and closers; 313AN matches dark bronze storefront.
13) What other concealed vertical rod exit devices could I use instead of the QED226?
Hager makes both a narrow stile CVR, the 4601 Series, and a wide stile pushpad CVR, the 4501 Series, both Grade 1 in 36 inch. Neither is fire-rated, so on an A label opening the QED226 stays the pick; on a non-rated pair either Hager works, and the 4501 is the choice if the door has a wide stile.
14) What are the alternatives to the Stanley QED226 for a 48 inch fire-rated opening?
The Stanley QED226 covers 48 inch device sizes on 8 ft doors as a fire-rated concealed vertical rod unit. If the door will take a rim device instead, the Marks USA M9900F is offered as a 48 inch fire-rated rim panic device, exit only, with a panic protector end cap. Exit only means no outside trim function, so where outside key access or a lever is required the QED226 with QED200 series trim such as the Sierra or Summit styles is the configuration to keep.
15) How does the Stanley QED226 differ from narrow stile rim devices like the Corbin Russwin ED4200 or TownSteel ED3700?
All three are Grade 1 narrow stile devices, but the latching is different. The Corbin Russwin ED4200 is a 36 inch narrow stile rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, exit only and accepts trim, and the TownSteel ED3700 is a 36 inch Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim device - both are listed non fire rated and latch at a rim strike on the frame. The Stanley QED226 is a fire-rated concealed vertical rod device with all mechanical elements housed inside the door, latching top and bottom, and it is UL listed for A label openings. Choose by whether the opening is labeled and whether the frame can be prepped for a rim strike.
16) Can a Grade 2 device such as the Cal-Royal 5000 replace the Stanley QED226?
Not on a labeled opening or where a Grade 1 spec is written. The Cal-Royal 5000 is a 36 inch wide rim exit device with a touch bar, listed as Grade 2 heavy duty and non fire rated, and the Cal-Royal 5500 is a 48 inch Grade 2 push bar rim device, also non fire rated. The Stanley QED226 is ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1, UL listed for fire-rated A label applications and ADA compliant, in a concealed vertical rod configuration. The Cal-Royal units are also wide rim devices rather than narrow stile, so they will not suit a narrow aluminum stile.
17) What should be used instead of the Stanley QED226 if the exit needs to be electrified or monitored?
The Stanley QED226 is a mechanical fire-rated concealed vertical rod device. For electrified exits, the Dormakaba electrified rim device with 4908A trim is a 36 inch unit in classroom function, and the SDC S6136 is a 36 inch electrified architectural rim device with a 4 inch wide stile for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors. Both are rim devices on wide stile prep rather than concealed rod, and the SDC S6136 is listed non fire rated, so verify the label requirement of the opening before substituting.
18) Does the Dexter ED1000 fire rated device cover the same openings as the Stanley QED226?
Partly. The Dexter ED1000 fire rated unit is a Grade 1 fire-rated rim exit device, not rated for wood doors, and Dexter also offers the ED1000 in 3 ft and 4 ft non fire rated rim versions. Those cover the same door widths the Stanley QED226 addresses with its 3 ft and 4 ft device sizes on 7 ft and 8 ft doors, but the Dexter units latch at a rim strike while the QED226 is a concealed vertical rod device with the rods and bottom fire bolt inside the door for a flush appearance.
