Stanley Security QED212 36 626 LC – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the Stanley QED212 be used on a wood door?
No. The QED212 is not wood door compatible; it is built for aluminum and hollow metal narrow stile openings. If your opening is a wood door, look at a narrow stile rim device that is rated for wood, such as the Adams Rite 3700 Series or the Adams Rite 8700 Series, both of which are listed as wood door compatible.
2) Does the QED212 come with the dogging cylinder, or do I have to order it separately?
The cylinder is not included. The QED212 uses cylinder dogging, so you supply a mortise cylinder to hold the pushbar down for free-swing during business hours. If you would rather not buy a cylinder, a hex-key dogging device like the Design Hardware 1000R heavy duty rim device does the same job with an allen wrench.
3) The QED212 is not fire rated - what narrow stile rim device should I use on a fire door?
The Stanley QED212 is a UL-listed panic device rather than a fire-rated exit device. For a labeled opening, the Adams Rite 3700 Series is a fire-rated Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device in a 30 inch size. Other fire-rated rim options include the Dexter ED1000-R-F-EO Grade 1 fire rated rim device, the Arrow FS1250 at 32 inches, and the Marks USA M9900F in 36 inch and 48 inch exit-only versions.
4) What is the closest equivalent to the Stanley QED212 narrow stile rim exit device from another brand?
The Stanley QED212 is a Grade 1 heavy-duty narrow stile rim exit device in the QED200 Series. The Dormakaba QED200 is the same QED200 Series in a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow device, offered as a 36 inch device with 7 ft rod. For a different manufacturer, the TownSteel ED3700 is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim exit device in a 36 inch size, and the Corbin Russwin ED4200 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device in 36 inch for 1-3/4 inch doors that accepts trim.
5) My aluminum storefront stile is too narrow for a wide stile pushpad device - which rim devices fit like the QED212?
The Stanley QED212 is a narrow-stile rim device that works down to a 2 inch stile with the ALS strike. Other narrow stile rim devices include the Falcon 19-R at 36 inch exit only, the Falcon 1590EO and 1790EO at 42 inch, the BEST 2401 Series non-handed exit only device, the Marks USA M8800 at 36 inch, and the Detex 40 Advantex, which is listed as extra heavy duty Grade 1.
6) Does the QED212 fit a door thicker than 1-3/4 inch, and what should I order for a 2 inch door?
The Stanley QED212 is built for standard 1-3/4 inch doors. For thicker leaves, the Adams Rite 8800 Series narrow stile rim device covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the DORMA 9300 wide stile device also covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. The SDC S6136 Spectra device is listed for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch on a 4 inch wide stile.
7) Do I need to specify handing when ordering the Stanley QED212?
No handing to call out. The QED212 is non-handed and field-reversible, so one device covers left and right hand openings. That makes it easy to stock a single spare for a building with doors swinging both ways.
8) What fasteners and trim do I need to complete a QED212 installation?
Wood screws, machine screws and sex bolts ship with the device, and the trim mounts thru-bolted for pull strength. What you add is the dogging cylinder and, if the door needs outside access, trim: Stanley lists Sierra, Summit and Slate lever styles plus escutcheon and pull plate options.
9) Should I use a rim device like the QED212 or a vertical rod device on my opening?
A rim device latches into a strike on the frame or mullion, which is what you want on a single door or a pair with a mullion. If you have a pair of doors with no mullion and need both leaves to latch at head and sill, go to a vertical rod device instead, such as the Hager 4601 narrow stile concealed vertical rod device.
10) What is a lighter-duty or Grade 2 alternative to the Stanley QED212?
The Stanley QED212 is a Grade 1 heavy-duty device. If Grade 1 is not required by the spec, the Cal-Royal 5000 is a 36 inch wide rim exit device with a touch bar on a Grade 2 chassis, and the Cal-Royal 5500 is a 48 inch push bar rim device also rated Grade 2. Note both are wide stile devices rather than narrow stile, so they need more stile face than the QED212.
11) What is the difference between the Stanley QED212 with cylinder dogging and a device with hex-key dogging?
The Stanley QED212 uses cylinder dogging, with the cylinder ordered separately, so the pushbar is held down with a key rather than an Allen wrench. Devices sold with hex key dogging include the Design Hardware 1000R at 33 inches, described as heavy duty, and the Design Hardware 2000R at 33 inches, described as standard duty with a wide stile. Cylinder dogging keeps dogging control with keyholders; hex key dogging needs only the wrench.
12) I need outside key control or a nightlatch instead of cylinder dogging - what device does that?
The Stanley QED212 is a cylinder dogging device that accepts Sierra, Summit and Slate trim styles plus escutcheon and pull plate options. If you want the outside cylinder to retract the latch instead, the Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 narrow design rim device in nightlatch function, and the Detex V4003A/03AN is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device supplied with night latch trim.
13) Is a concealed vertical rod device an alternative to the QED212 rim device?
They latch differently. The Stanley QED212 is a rim device whose latch engages a surface strike on the frame stop, with a 2 inch minimum stile for the ALS strike. The Hager 4601 is a Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod device and the Hager 4501 is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device with a wide stile pushpad, both 36 inch; those latch top and bottom through a prepped door and are not a drop-in for rim strike prep.
14) I need an electrified exit device for access control - what replaces the QED212?
The Stanley QED212 is a mechanical rim device with cylinder dogging and no electrical option in the QED200 configuration. For access control, the Dormakaba electrified 36 inch rim device with 4908A trim is supplied in classroom function, the SDC S6136 Spectra is an electrified architectural rim device at 36 inch on a 4 inch wide stile, and the Sargent 12-8810 fire rated wide stile rim device comes with RX and MELR.
15) What finishes does the Stanley QED212 come in, and can I match them across a building?
Three finishes: 626 satin chrome, 605 bright brass, and 313AN anodized duranodic bronze. All three are offered in both the 3 ft and 4 ft device, so you can standardize one finish across openings of different widths.
16) What is the difference between the Stanley QED212 pushbar and a crossbar-style exit device?
The Stanley QED212 is a narrow-stile touchpad-style rim device with thru-bolted trim. Crossbar devices include the CRL Jackson 1095 Series at 48 inch, a wide stile exit-only crossbar panic device, and the Corbin Russwin ED3200, a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim device. The Falcon Monarch 18 Series is another Grade 1 rim device at 36 inch. Crossbar hardware projects further from the door face and is generally specified for wide stile openings.
