Stanley Security QED216 36 7 605 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I need a mullion to use this on a pair of doors?
No. Being a surface vertical rod device, the QED216 latches at the head and the threshold rather than into a strike on the frame edge, so it secures a pair of doors without a center mullion. A rim device on the same opening would need one.
2) What device length do I order for a 7 ft versus an 8 ft door?
Order the 36 inch (3 ft) device for a 7 ft door and the 48 inch (4 ft) device for an 8 ft door. Both device sizes are offered against both door heights on the QED216, so match the device to the door leaf width and the rod length to the door height.
3) Is this exit device approved for a fire-rated opening?
Yes. The QED216 is fire rated and UL listed for panic hardware, certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1, and ADA compliant. Note that fire-rated openings cannot use dogging, so the device must latch on every close.
4) What is the difference between the Stanley QED216 and a concealed vertical rod device like the Hager 4601?
Both latch top and bottom, but the QED216 runs its rods on the face of the door as a surface vertical rod unit, while the Hager 4601 Series 36 inch is a Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod device with the rods inside the door, which requires a door prepped for concealed rods. The Hager 4601 is not fire-rated; the QED216 is UL-listed fire-rated.
5) What is the closest equivalent to the Stanley QED216 narrow stile exit device from another brand?
Dormakaba's QED200 Grade 1 heavy duty narrow exit device (36 inch device, 7 ft rod) is the same QED200 Series platform under the Dormakaba name, also Grade 1 and heavy duty, and like the Stanley QED216 it is not rated for wood doors. If the QED200 family is what the spec calls for, that is the direct counterpart.
6) Can the QED216 be cut down for a narrower door?
Yes. It is field sizeable: the 36 inch device cuts to roughly 32 inches and the 48 inch device to roughly 36 inches. It is also non-handed and field reversible, so one part number covers left and right hand openings.
7) Does the QED216 come with mounting hardware, or do I need to buy fasteners?
Wood screws, machine screws, and sex bolts ship standard with the device, and the trim is thru-bolted for strength. What you order separately is the outside trim if the opening needs key or lever access.
8) Which trim works with the Stanley QED216?
It accepts QED200 Series trim in the Sierra, Summit, and Slate designs. Trim is specified separately from the device, so pick the lever or pull style and match the device finish.
9) What else could I buy if I need a fire-rated exit device but the opening is a single door with a frame strike?
For a single door you would use a rim device rather than a surface vertical rod. Fire-rated rim options ZenSupply carries include the Arrow FS1250 at 32 inches, the Marks USA M9900F in 36 and 48 inch, the Orca OED85 at 36 inch, and the Dexter ED1000 Series fire rated rim device.
10) Is a concealed vertical rod a better choice than this surface rod device?
Surface rods like the QED216 mount on the face of the door, so they retrofit an existing leaf without routing it and the rods stay serviceable. Concealed rods hide inside the door for appearance but require a door prepped for them. If the look matters more than retrofit ease, Hager's 4601 Series concealed vertical rod narrow stile device is the alternative; the 4501 is the wide stile version.
11) Is there an equivalent QED200 device from another brand?
Dormakaba sells the same QED200 Series platform, including a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile device with a 36 inch bar and 7 ft rod. If you are standardizing a facility already running QED200 hardware, that is the closest match.
12) Which fire-rated rim exit devices come in both 36 inch and 48 inch sizes like the Stanley QED216?
The Marks USA M9900F is offered as a fire-rated 36 inch and a fire-rated 48 inch rim device, both exit only with a panic protector end cap, covering the same two device lengths the QED216 uses for 7 ft and 8 ft doors. The Marks units are rim devices rather than surface vertical rod.
13) Is there a Grade 1 narrow stile device I can use on a non-rated aluminum opening instead of the QED216?
Yes. The TownSteel ED3700 36 inch and the Corbin Russwin ED4200 36 inch are both Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim devices for non-rated openings, and the Corbin ED4200 is exit only with the option to accept trim on 1-3/4 inch doors. Neither is fire-rated, so keep the QED216 where a rated assembly is required.
14) Does the Dexter ED1000 fire rated rim device replace the Stanley QED216?
The Dexter ED1000 Series fire rated unit is Grade 1, fire-rated, and not for wood doors, so it matches the QED216 on rating and grade. It is a rim device, so it latches at the jamb rather than at the head and sill the way the QED216 surface vertical rod does, and the strike prep differs accordingly.
15) If I need a nightlatch or keyed-entry narrow stile device rather than exit only, what are the options against the QED216?
The QED216 accepts QED200 Series trims in the Sierra, Summit and Slate designs for outside operation. If you prefer a device that ships in a nightlatch configuration, the Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 narrow design rim device with a night latch function, and the Detex V4003A/03AN is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device with night latch trim.
16) Is a Cal-Royal 5000 or A9800 an equivalent to the Stanley QED216?
Not on rating or certification. The Cal-Royal 5000 36 inch and A9820 48 inch are heavy duty rim devices carrying a Grade 2 chassis rating and neither is fire-rated, while the QED216 is ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1 and UL-listed for panic hardware on fire-rated openings.
17) For an extra heavy duty narrow stile opening, what goes further than the Stanley QED216?
The Detex 40 Advantex Series is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device rated extra heavy duty, a step above the heavy duty classification on the QED216, and like the QED216 it is not rated for wood doors. The Detex 40 is rim latching, while the QED216 latches top and bottom through surface vertical rods.
18) What finishes does the Stanley QED216 come in, and can I match other openings in the building?
Three finishes: 605 Bright Brass, 626 Satin Chrome, and 313AN Anodized Duranodic Bronze. All three are offered in both the 3 ft and 4 ft device sizes, so a mixed-height set of openings can be standardized on one finish.
19) My door has a 4 inch stile. Do I have to use a narrow stile device?
No, a wide stile device is fine on a 4 inch stile and gives you a longer push surface. The QED216 will still mount since it only needs 2 inches minimum, but wide stile Grade 1 options include the Corbin Russwin ED5200 at 36 inch and the TownSteel ED1100 at 36 inch.
