Stanley Security QED211 36 626 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Do I have to order the QED211 handed, and can one device cover both leaves of a pair?
Handing is not a decision you have to make. The QED211 is non-handed and field reversible, so one device works on a left or right hand opening. It is also field sizeable, which lets you trim it to non-standard door widths. For a pair of doors you still order two devices, one per leaf.
2) What does hex-key dogging on the QED211 do, and can I use it on a fire door?
Hex key dogging lets you hold the push bar depressed with an Allen wrench so the latch stays retracted and the door push-pulls freely during business hours, then you undog it to relatch at close. Mechanical dogging is not used on fire rated openings. The QED211 is a panic device; for a fire rated narrow stile opening, the Adams Rite 3700 Series is a fire rated narrow stile rim device.
3) Is the QED211 Grade 1, and does it meet ADA and panic hardware requirements?
The QED211 carries ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1 certification and is rated heavy duty for commercial use. It is stated to meet or exceed UL panic hardware and ADA requirements, which is what a school, hospital, or municipal spec typically calls for on an egress door.
4) Will the QED211 work on a door thicker than 1-3/4 inches?
No. The QED211 is set up for standard 1-3/4 inch (44.5 mm) doors. For a thicker leaf, the Adams Rite 8800 Series narrow stile rim device covers 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches, and the Dormakaba 9300 Series wide stile device also lists 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches.
5) My door is wood - the QED211 will not work. What rim exit device fits a wood narrow stile door?
The QED211 is not rated for wood doors. Adams Rite lists wood door compatible narrow stile rim devices: the 8700 Series 30 inch, Grade 1 with starwheel interlocking and not fire rated, and the 3700 Series 30 inch, Grade 1 with starwheel interlocking and fire rated. The Adams Rite 8800 Series is narrow stile Grade 1 as well but is not wood door compatible, so check the series before ordering.
6) What is the closest equivalent to the Stanley QED211 narrow stile rim exit device from another brand?
The Dormakaba QED200 is the same QED200 Series narrow exit device, Grade 1 heavy duty, in a 36 inch device with a 7 ft rod. If you want a different manufacturer entirely, the Corbin Russwin ED4200 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device in 36 inch for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the TownSteel ED3700 is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim device in 36 inch. All three are narrow stile rim devices for metal doors, matching the QED211's Grade 1 heavy duty rating and 1-3/4 inch standard door thickness.
7) The QED211 is not fire rated - what narrow stile rim device can I use on a fire rated opening instead?
For a fire labeled 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 for wood doors. The Dexter ED1000-R-F-EO is a Grade 1 fire rated rim exit device for metal doors, and the Orca OED85 is a 36 inch fire rated rim device, exit only. Note that fire rated devices do not include dogging, so you lose the hex-key dogging the QED211 provides.
8) What door widths do the 3 ft and 4 ft QED211 devices cover?
Two device lengths are offered: a 3 ft (36 inch) and a 4 ft (48 inch) bar. The 36 inch device suits standard 3-0 openings and the 48 inch device covers wider leaves. Because the QED211 is field sizeable, you pick the length that is equal to or longer than needed and cut it down on site rather than hunting an exact width.
9) What finishes does the Stanley QED211 come in, and will they match other Stanley hardware in my building?
Three finishes: Bright Brass (605/US3), Anodized Duranodic Bronze (313AN), and Satin Chrome (626/US26D). All three are offered in both the 3 ft and 4 ft device lengths. The QED211 is built to match other Stanley Commercial Hardware finishes and styling, so it holds a consistent look if you are standardizing a facility on Stanley trim and locks.
10) Should I use a narrow stile rim device like the QED211 or a wide stile device?
Stile width on your door decides it. Narrow stile devices like the QED211 are built for aluminum storefront and glass-front leaves where the lock stile is only a couple of inches wide, with a 2 inch minimum for the strike. If your door has a 4 inch or wider stile (typical hollow metal), a wide stile device such as the Corbin Russwin ED5200 or the BEST Precision 2101 gives you a longer push pad and more chassis to bolt to.
11) I need exterior key access on the same door, not just push-to-exit. Is the QED211 the right pick?
The QED211 is the rim device itself with hex key dogging; outside access comes from separate Stanley trim on the pull side, ordered alongside it in a matching finish (605, 313AN, or 626). If you want a device supplied as a night latch narrow design out of the box, the Sargent 8504 is a narrow stile rim device with night latch function.
12) What narrow stile rim device should I use if I need a 42 inch device instead of 36 or 48?
The QED211 comes as a 3 ft and a 4 ft device. For an opening between those, Falcon lists 42 inch narrow stile Grade 1 exit only rim devices for 1-3/4 inch doors: the 1590EO and the 1790EO. Both are exit only, so if you need outside trim the Corbin Russwin ED4200 narrow stile Grade 1 device accepts trim.
13) I need night latch function on a narrow door - does the QED211 cover that, or is there a better choice?
If the requirement is a factory night latch function, the Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 narrow design rim exit device listed with night latch function. For a narrow stile Grade 1 exit only device in 36 inch, the Falcon 19-R for 1-3/4 inch doors and the BEST 2401 Series non-handed narrow stile device are the comparable options, and the QED211 itself is non-handed and field reversible.
14) Which other rim devices also use hex key dogging like the QED211?
The QED211 uses hex-key dogging. Design Hardware lists two 33 inch rim devices with hex key dogging: the 1000R Series, heavy duty, and the 2000R Series, standard duty and wide stile. Both are for metal doors and neither is fire rated, same as the QED211's non-fire-rated construction. The QED211 differs in being a narrow stile device offered in 3 ft and 4 ft lengths.
15) For a wide stile hollow metal door, what takes the place of the QED211?
The QED211 is built for narrow stile doors, so on a wide stile hollow metal door you would move to a wide stile Grade 1 rim device such as the Corbin Russwin ED5200 in 36 inch, which accepts trim and fits 1-3/4 inch doors, the TownSteel ED1100 36 inch heavy duty Grade 1, or the DORMA 9300 Series 48 inch heavy duty Grade 1 for doors 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch thick.
16) Will a concealed vertical rod device do the same job as the QED211 rim device?
No, they latch differently. The QED211 is a rim device that latches to a strike on the frame stop. The Hager 4601 Series 36 inch is a Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod device and the Hager 4501 Series 36 inch is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device with a wide stile pushpad; both latch top and bottom and require a door prepped for concealed rods. A rim device and a concealed vertical rod device are not interchangeable in an existing door prep.
17) I need an electrified exit device rather than the mechanical QED211 - what are my options?
The QED211 is a mechanical rim device with hex-key dogging. For electrified control, the Dormakaba E2103 with 4908A trim is a 36 inch electrified rim exit device in classroom function, the SDC S6136 Spectra is a 36 inch electrified rim exit device with a 4 inch wide stile for doors 1-3/4 to 2 inch, and the SDC PSB560 SureExit 36 inch pressure sense bar fits narrow or wide stile applications.
18) Does the QED211 mount with screws only, or is it thru-bolted?
Thru-bolted trim. That matters on an abused storefront or high traffic exit, because the bar and trim clamp through the door rather than relying on screws in thin aluminum, which is where cheaper devices work loose.
