Stanley Security QED219 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 means there is no rod or latch running down to the threshold, so nothing sticks out at floor level to trip over or collect dirt. On the QED219 the fire rating is preserved by an included bottom fire bolt, which drops on alarm rather than latching in normal use. The device is UL listed for "A" label doors and meets ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1.
2) Which device length and rod length do I order for an 8 foot door?
For an 8 foot door, order the 4 ft (48 inch) device with 96 inch rods. For a standard 7 foot door, the 3 ft (36 inch) device is the match. Both device sizes are offered against both door heights, so the 36 inch device is also available configured for an 8 foot opening.
3) Do I need to specify handing when ordering the Stanley QED219?
No handing to call out. The QED219 is non-handed and field reversible, so one device covers left and right hand openings. It is also field sizeable: the 36 inch device cuts down to about 26 inches and the 48 inch to about 36 inches, which lets you stock one or two lengths for a building instead of a part number per door width.
4) I need a fire-rated narrow stile exit device. What are my alternatives to the Stanley QED219?
If you want fire rated and narrow stile, the closest peer ZenSupply carries is the Adams Rite 3700 Series, a Grade 1 fire-rated narrow stile device that is also rated for wood doors. Note it is a rim device, not a surface vertical rod, so a pair of doors would need a mullion. Other fire-rated options in the range (Marks USA M9900F, Orca OED85, Dexter ED1000 fire rated, Arrow FS1250) are rim devices as well.
5) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to the Stanley QED219 narrow stile exit device?
The Dormakaba QED200 is the closest match. It is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow exit device in the same QED200 series, catalogued in a 36 inch device size with a 7 ft rod, which lines up with the Stanley QED219's 3 ft device for 7 ft door configuration. The Stanley QED219 is the surface vertical rod, less bottom rod, fire-rated build of that same Grade 1 heavy duty platform, so a facility standardized on QED200 trim and appearance can run both without a visual mismatch.
6) Can I use the QED219 on a wood door, and if not what narrow stile device works there?
The Stanley QED219 is specified for standard 1-3/4 inch doors with a minimum 2 inch stile for the surface vertical rod arrangement. For wood doors, the Adams Rite narrow stile rim devices are the ones listed as wood door compatible: the 3700 Series 30 inch, which is fire-rated and Grade 1, and the non-rated 8700 Series 30 inch. The Adams Rite 8800 Series, by contrast, is not wood door compatible and is listed for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors.
7) Which narrow stile rim devices look like substitutes for the QED219 but will not pass a fire-rated opening?
Several narrow stile Grade 1 rim devices are non-fire-rated and cannot stand in on a labeled door. The Corbin Russwin ED4200 36 inch narrow stile rim device, the TownSteel ED3700 36 inch narrow stile device, and the Falcon 1790EO 42 inch narrow stile exit-only device are all listed with a fire rating of No. The Adams Rite 8700 and 8800 Series narrow stile rim devices are likewise non-fire-rated. The Stanley QED219 is UL-listed for A label doors and ships with a bottom fire bolt in its less bottom rod configuration, which is what those devices do not provide.
8) Should I use a surface vertical rod device or a rim device on a pair of doors?
A surface vertical rod device like the QED219 latches at the head, so it secures a pair of doors without a center mullion, which is why it gets specified on double door openings. A rim device latches into a strike at the jamb, so on a pair you also need a removable mullion. ZenSupply carries narrow stile rim alternatives such as the Corbin Russwin ED4200 and the TownSteel ED3700 if your opening is a single door with a jamb strike.
9) What fasteners come with the QED219, and does it thru-bolt?
Wood screws, machine screws, and sex bolts ship with the device, so you are covered for either a hollow metal or a wood door application. The trim is thru-bolted through the door rather than surface screwed, which is what holds up on a high traffic opening where trim gets pulled on.
10) Is the Stanley QED219 heavy enough for a school or hospital main entrance?
It is built for that traffic: ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1, heavy duty, commercial rated, with thru-bolted trim. It is also ADA compliant and UL listed for "A" label doors, which covers the usual stair and corridor fire door requirements in institutional facilities.
11) What fire-rated exit device should I specify if the opening is a wide stile hollow metal door rather than narrow stile?
On a wide stile door the Stanley QED219's narrow stile geometry is not the match. Fire-rated wide stile options include the Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM, a Grade 1 fire-rated wide stile rim device with RX and MELR. If you only need a fire-rated rim device on a standard door leaf without wide stile framing, the Marks USA M9900F is offered in 36 inch and 48 inch exit-only builds with a panic protector end cap, and the Orca OED85 Series 36 inch is a fire-rated exit-only rim device.
12) Is there a simpler fire-rated device than the QED219 when I do not need vertical rods or field sizing?
Yes. The Dexter ED1000 Series fire-rated Grade 1 rim exit device is a straightforward rim latch with no vertical rods to align, and the Arrow FS1250 is a fire-rated 32 inch rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors. Both cover a labeled single door. The Stanley QED219 adds the surface vertical rod arrangement with a bottom fire bolt, plus field reversibility and field sizing from 36 inch down to about 26 inch or 48 inch down to about 36 inch, which matters when one device has to fit several door widths.
13) For an 8 ft tall door, what are my options besides the 48 inch QED219?
The Stanley QED219 covers 8 ft doors directly with a 4 ft device and 96 inch rods, and the 3 ft device is also offered in an 8 ft door configuration. If the opening is wide rather than tall and you need a longer pushbar on a non-rated door, the Cal-Royal 5500 is a 48 inch wide rim device with push bar and the Corbin Russwin ED3000 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors. Neither of those is fire-rated, so on a labeled 8 ft opening the QED219 remains the device that carries the UL A label listing.
14) What should I look at instead of the QED219 if the opening needs an electrified or access-controlled exit device?
The Stanley QED219 is a mechanical Grade 1 fire-rated device that accepts QED200 series trims in Sierra, Summit and Slate. For electrified openings, the Dormakaba E2103 is a 36 inch electrified rim exit device with 4908A trim in a classroom function, the SDC S6136 Spectra is a 36 inch electrified architectural rim device with a 4 inch wide stile for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, and the SDC MSB550 Series 36 inch is a mechanical switch bar with electromagnetic lock release that suits narrow or wide stile. The SDC units are listed with a fire rating of No.
15) How does the QED219 compare with Grade 2 rim devices like the Cal-Royal 5000?
The Cal-Royal 5000 is a 36 inch wide rim exit device with touch bar on a Grade 2 chassis, heavy duty, non-fire-rated, and the Cal-Royal 5500 is the 48 inch push bar version, also Grade 2. The Stanley QED219 is ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1 heavy duty with thru-bolted trim and is UL-listed for A label doors, so it is the device to use where a spec calls out Grade 1 or a labeled opening.
16) If the storefront door needs a night latch pull rather than exit-only hardware, what narrow stile device fits?
The Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 narrow design rim exit device in a night latch function, which gives outside key access through the pull. The Stanley QED219 is a Grade 1 narrow stile surface vertical rod device that accepts QED200 series trims in Sierra, Summit and Slate, so trim function on that side is chosen with the trim rather than built into the device itself.
17) For a high abuse opening such as a school or stadium exit, is there a heavier narrow stile device than the QED219?
The Detex 40 Advantex Series is a narrow stile rim exit device listed at an extra heavy duty level with Grade 1 certification, and the Detex 10 Advantex 36 inch is the extra heavy duty wide stile counterpart. The Stanley QED219 is Grade 1 heavy duty with thru-bolted trim construction and carries the UL A label listing with a bottom fire bolt, which the Detex 10 does not, since it is listed with a fire rating of No.
