Stanley Security QED224 36 7 605 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I put the Stanley QED224 exit device on a wood door?
No. The QED224 is not wood door compatible; it is built for aluminum and hollow metal narrow stile openings. For a wood door, an Adams Rite 8700 Series or 3700 Series narrow stile rim device is listed as wood door compatible.
2) Which device length do I order for a 7-foot door versus an 8-foot door?
Device length is picked off door height: the 36 inch (3 ft) device covers 7-foot doors and the 48 inch (4 ft) device covers 8-foot doors. Both device sizes are offered against both 7-foot and 8-foot door selections, and each comes in Satin Chrome 626, Bright Brass 605, and Anodized Duranodic Bronze 313AN.
3) What is the closest alternative to the Stanley QED224 if I need a concealed vertical rod on a narrow stile door?
The Hager 4601 Series 36 inch Grade 1 concealed vertical rod narrow stile device is the direct counterpart. If the opening is a wide stile instead, the Hager 4501 Series 36 inch Grade 1 CVR device with a wide stile pushpad covers it. Both are non fire rated, same as the QED224.
4) The QED224 is not fire rated. What narrow stile exit device can I use on a fire-rated opening?
The Adams Rite 3700 Series 30 inch is a fire-rated Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device with starwheel interlocking, and it is also listed as wood door compatible. For a rim device on a hollow metal or aluminum leaf, the Arrow FS1250 is a fire-rated 32 inch rim exit device and the Orca OED85 is a 36 inch fire-rated rim device. Note these are rim devices, not concealed vertical rod, so the strike and prep differ from the QED224.
5) What is the closest concealed vertical rod alternative to the Stanley QED224 in a narrow stile?
The Hager 4601 is the nearest match: a 36 inch Grade 1 concealed vertical rod narrow stile exit device, like the QED224's Grade 1 narrow stile CVR configuration. Both are non-fire-rated. If the opening has a wide stile pushpad requirement instead, the Hager 4501 is a 36 inch Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device with a wide stile pushpad.
6) Is the Dormakaba QED200 the same device as the Stanley QED224?
They are the same series but not the same device. The Dormakaba QED200 is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow exit device with a 36 inch device and 7 ft rod, carried under the QED200 Series, which is also the series the Stanley QED224 belongs to. The Stanley QED224 is the concealed vertical rod version with hex-key dogging and is offered in 3 ft and 4 ft device sizes for 7 ft and 8 ft doors. Confirm the device length and rod length against the door height before ordering either.
7) What is a simpler narrow stile exit device if I do not need vertical rods?
A rim device latches into a strike on the frame head and skips the rod run entirely. Grade 1 narrow stile rim options include the Corbin Russwin ED4200 at 36 inches for 1-3/4 inch doors, the TownSteel ED3700 at 36 inches heavy duty, and the Falcon 19-R at 36 inches exit only. The Stanley QED224 is a concealed vertical rod device, so switching to rim changes the door and frame prep.
8) What is the difference between a concealed vertical rod device like the QED224 and a standard rim device?
A rim device latches into a strike on the frame or a mullion at one point. The QED224 runs its rods inside the door and latches top and bottom, which is what lets a pair of doors secure without a center mullion and keeps the hardware out of sight on a storefront. The tradeoff is prep: concealed rods need a door built to accept them, where a rim device like the Corbin Russwin ED4200 narrow stile or the TownSteel ED3700 surface mounts to a flat stile.
9) How does hex-key dogging work on the QED224, and when can I use it?
Hex key dogging lets you hold the push bar depressed so the latch stays retracted and the door pushes free during business hours, then you release it with the same wrench at close. It is a mechanical override, no power or cylinder involved. Because the QED224 is not fire rated, dogging is fair game here; mechanical dogging is not permitted on fire-rated devices.
10) What trim and finishes match the Stanley QED224 for a building standard?
Three finishes are offered across the line: Satin Chrome 626, Bright Brass 605, and Anodized Duranodic Bronze 313AN. Outside trim options are Sierra, Summit, and Slate, all available in those same finishes, so you can standardize a run of openings on one look.
11) Is the QED224 rated heavy duty enough for a high-traffic entrance?
It is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1, heavy duty, and catalogued for commercial use. Grade 1 is the top performance tier for exit devices and is what most school, healthcare, and government specs call for. If the spec only calls for Grade 2, a Cal-Royal 5000 heavy duty rim device is a Grade 2 option.
12) What mounting hardware comes with the Stanley QED224, and what do I still need to order?
Fasteners are in the box: wood screws, machine screws, and sex bolts. Outside trim is separate, so if the opening needs key or lever access from the pull side, add a Sierra, Summit, or Slate trim in the matching finish.
13) My door has a wide stile. Does the Stanley QED224 still apply?
The QED224 is built for narrow stile applications. On a wide stile leaf, Grade 1 wide stile devices include the Corbin Russwin ED5200 at 36 inches for 1-3/4 inch doors, the DORMA 9300 Series 48 inch heavy duty for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the TownSteel ED1100 at 36 inches heavy duty. If you want to keep concealed vertical rods on a wide stile, the Hager 4501 is a 36 inch Grade 1 CVR device with a wide stile pushpad.
14) What other exit devices offer hex-key dogging like the Stanley QED224?
The Design Hardware 1000R is a 33 inch heavy duty rim device with hex key dogging, and the Design Hardware 2000R is a 33 inch standard duty wide stile rim device with hex key dogging. Both are rim devices rather than concealed vertical rod, so they latch at the frame head instead of top and bottom.
15) Is the Adams Rite 8800 a substitute for the Stanley QED224?
They serve different openings. The Adams Rite 8800 Series 30 inch is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device with starwheel interlocking, fitting doors 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick and not wood door compatible. The Stanley QED224 is a concealed vertical rod device for standard 1-3/4 inch doors. The 8800 latches at the frame head only; the QED224 secures top and bottom through concealed rods, so they are not interchangeable in the same prep.
16) I need a night latch function instead of exit only. What narrow stile device covers that?
The Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device in night latch function, giving key retraction of the latch from the outside. The Stanley QED224 accepts Sierra, Summit and Slate trims for outside access, so specify the trim function you need when ordering it as a CVR device.
17) What should I use if the exit device needs to be electrified for access control?
The Stanley QED224 is a mechanical device with hex-key dogging. For electrified openings, the SDC S6136 is a 36 inch electrified architectural rim exit device with a 4 inch wide stile for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Dormakaba E2103 is a 36 inch electrified rim device with 4908A trim in classroom function. The SDC MSB550 36 inch mechanical switch bar suits narrow or wide stile and releases an electromagnetic lock.
18) Is the BEST 2401 a direct replacement for the Stanley QED224?
Not a direct replacement. The BEST 2401 is a narrow stile rim exit device, exit only and non-handed, for non-wood doors. It matches the QED224 on narrow stile and non-handed installation, but the QED224 is a concealed vertical rod device that latches top and bottom and accepts Sierra, Summit and Slate trims. Swapping to the 2401 means a rim strike at the frame head and no outside trim unless separately specified.
19) What 48 inch exit device options exist besides the 4 ft Stanley QED224?
The Stanley QED224 is offered as a 4 ft device for 7 ft and 8 ft doors. Other 48 inch devices include the Corbin Russwin ED3200 Grade 1 crossbar rim for 1-3/4 inch wide stile doors, the DORMA 9300A Grade 1 wide stile for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, the Marks USA M9900F 48 inch fire-rated rim, and the CRL Jackson 1095 crossbar rim panic in wide stile.
