Stanley Security QED229 36 7 605 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does Less Bottom Rod mean on a fire-rated exit device, and is it still code compliant?
Less Bottom Rod strips out the rod and latch that run down to the threshold, so nothing drags on the floor and nothing collects dirt at the sill. On the QED229 the fire code requirement is still met because a bottom fire bolt is included, which throws under fire conditions. The device is UL listed for A-label fire doors and ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1.
2) Which device length and rod length do I order for a 7 foot versus an 8 foot door?
Two things get specified separately. Device size is 3 ft or 4 ft, picked off the door width, and door size is 7 ft (84 inch rods) or 8 ft (96 inch rods), picked off the door height. All four combinations are built, in each of the three finishes. If your door is between standard sizes, the device is field-sizeable.
3) Should I use a concealed vertical rod device or a rim device on my opening?
A rim device latches into a strike on the frame at the lock edge, which is the simpler install and the usual pick for a single door. Concealed vertical rod, like the QED229, runs the rod inside the door and latches at the head, which is what you want on a pair of doors with no center mullion and where you do not want hardware showing on the door face. CVR requires a door prepped for concealed rods, so it is not a drop-in on a door that was never bored for it.
4) What is the closest narrow stile concealed vertical rod alternative to the Stanley QED229?
The Hager 4601 Series 36 inch concealed vertical rod exit device is the closest match in configuration - it is a Grade 1 narrow stile CVR device like the QED229. The difference that matters for an opening that needs fire hardware is that the Hager 4601 is not fire rated, while the QED229 is fire rated with a bottom fire bolt in its Less Bottom Rod arrangement. If the opening is a non-rated aluminum storefront pair, the 4601 covers the same geometry; if the door carries an A label, stay with the QED229.
5) Is the Dormakaba QED200 the same device as the Stanley QED229?
They are the same family. The Dormakaba QED200 is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow exit device in the QED200 Series, 36 inch device with 7 ft rod, and the Stanley QED229 is also a QED200 Series Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile device. The distinction is configuration: the QED229 is the concealed vertical rod, Less Bottom Rod, fire rated variant with a bottom fire bolt. Order the Dormakaba QED200 when the opening takes the standard series device and the Stanley QED229 when you need the fire rated LBR CVR build.
6) Do I have to specify handing when ordering the Stanley QED229?
No. It ships non-handed and is field-reversible, so one device covers a left or right hand opening. That is useful for a property manager keeping a small stock of spares for a building with doors swinging both ways.
7) What trim can I use with the Stanley QED200 series exit device?
It accepts Stanley Sierra, Summit, and Slate trims, and the trim mounts thru-bolted through the door rather than with wood screws, which is what holds up on a high traffic opening. Trim is ordered separately from the device.
8) What is a comparable fire-rated narrow stile exit device if the concealed vertical rod does not suit my door?
For a single narrow stile door where you would rather surface mount, the Adams Rite 3700 Series 30 inch is a Grade 1 fire-rated narrow stile rim device, and unlike the Stanley it is listed as wood door compatible. Arrow's FS1250 32 inch rim device is also fire rated for 1-3/4 inch doors. Both latch to the frame instead of the head, so they need no concealed rod prep in the door.
9) Is the Stanley QED229 rated for high traffic institutional use?
It is a commercial, heavy duty device carrying ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1, the top grade for exit hardware, and it is ADA compliant. Thru-bolted trim construction is what keeps it tight on schools, hospitals, and other openings that get cycled all day.
10) Which Corbin Russwin device is comparable to the Stanley QED229 on an aluminum narrow stile door?
The Corbin Russwin ED4200 is the narrow stile Grade 1 device in that line, 36 inch, for 1-3/4 inch doors, exit only or accepts trim. It is a rim device and is not fire rated, so on an A label opening it is not an exchange for the QED229, which is fire rated and runs concealed vertical rods with a bottom fire bolt. On a non-rated storefront the ED4200 fits the same narrow stile profile.
11) What narrow stile device should I look at for an extra heavy duty opening like a school exterior?
The Detex 40 Advantex Series is a narrow stile Grade 1 device rated extra heavy duty, a step above the heavy duty classification the Stanley QED229 carries. The Detex 40 is a rim device, so it latches to a frame strike rather than running concealed rods to a top latch and bottom fire bolt the way the QED229 does. If the aesthetic of concealed rods matters, the QED229 keeps the hardware out of sight.
12) Can I standardize a building on one narrow stile exit device across rated and non-rated openings?
You can standardize on the look but you will still buy two configurations. On A label openings the Stanley QED229 is the fire rated Grade 1 narrow stile device with a bottom fire bolt. For non-rated narrow stile doors, TownSteel ED3700 in 36 inch and Adams Rite 8800 Series in 30 inch are both Grade 1 narrow stile devices, and the Adams Rite 8800 covers a 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range where the QED229 is built around a standard 1-3/4 inch door.
13) What finishes does the Stanley QED229 come in, and will it match other Stanley hardware in the building?
Three: Satin Chrome 626, Bright Brass 605, and Anodized Duranodic Bronze 313AN. Those are standard BHMA finish codes, so 626 will read the same as satin chrome on your other Stanley Commercial Hardware openings. All three are available on both the 3 ft and 4 ft device in 7 ft and 8 ft door heights.
14) Is there a narrow stile Grade 1 device that comes in a 42 inch length instead of 36 or 48?
Yes. Falcon offers the 1590EO and the 1790EO as 42 inch narrow stile Grade 1 exit only rim devices for 1-3/4 inch doors. Both are surface rim devices rather than concealed vertical rod, and the Falcon 1790EO is not fire rated. The Stanley QED229 is offered as a 3 ft or 4 ft device, matched to 7 ft or 8 ft doors.
15) Is there a narrow stile alternative with a night latch function instead of exit only?
The Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 narrow design rim exit device in night latch function, which gives key retraction of the latch from the outside. The Stanley QED229 is the concealed vertical rod, Less Bottom Rod, fire rated build and takes Sierra, Summit or Slate trim for outside control. Choose by whether you want a cylinder night latch or a lever trim on the pull side.
