Stanley Security QED214 36 7 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Stanley QED214 exit device work on a pair of doors without a mullion?
Yes. The QED214 is a surface vertical rod device, so it latches at the head and the threshold rather than into a strike on a mullion. That makes it the right choice for a pair of doors where you need the full clear opening and cannot put a center mullion in. If you are doing a single door in a frame, a rim device is the simpler install.
2) Can I use the Stanley QED214 on a wood door?
No. The QED214 is not rated for wood door applications. It is a narrow stile device intended for aluminum and hollow metal openings. If you need a narrow stile rim device that is wood door compatible, the Adams Rite 8700 Series is listed for wood doors.
3) Which device length and rod length do I order for an 8-foot door?
Two separate choices. Device length is 36 inch (3 ft) or 48 inch (4 ft) and is picked off door width; rod length is picked off door height, with 7-ft rods for 7-ft doors and 8-ft rods for 8-ft doors. Both device lengths are offered with either the 7-ft or 8-ft door rod set, so an 8-foot door can take a 36 inch device with 8-ft rods.
4) My door is narrower than 36 inches. Can the QED214 be cut down?
Yes. It is field-sizeable, so a 36 inch device trims to roughly 32 inches and a 48 inch device to roughly 36 inches. It is also non-handed and field-reversible, so one device covers left and right hand openings and you don't specify handing on the order.
5) Does the Stanley QED214 meet code for an egress door in a commercial building?
It is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1, UL listed for panic hardware, and ADA compliant. That covers the panic hardware requirement on a non-fire egress opening in a commercial facility. For a fire-rated egress door you need the fire-rated model in the series instead.
6) I need a narrow stile device for a wood door - can I use the Stanley QED214?
No. The Stanley QED214 is not wood door compatible. For a wood door with a narrow stile, the Adams Rite 8700 Series 30 inch narrow stile rim exit device is Grade 1 and listed as wood door compatible, and the Adams Rite 3700 Series 30 inch is the fire-rated counterpart that is also wood door compatible.
7) The Stanley QED214 is not fire rated - what narrow stile device can I use on a fire-rated opening instead?
For a labeled opening, the Adams Rite 3700 Series 30 inch device is fire rated, Grade 1, and narrow stile, and it is also listed as wood door compatible. Other fire-rated rim options include the Dexter ED1000 Series Grade 1 fire rated rim device and the Orca Hardware OED85 Series 36 inch fire rated rim device. The Stanley QED214 itself is not fire rated, so it belongs on non-labeled exterior and egress doors.
8) What is the closest equivalent to the Stanley QED214 exit device from another brand?
The nearest match is the Dormakaba QED200, a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow exit device in the same QED200 series, offered as a 36 inch device with a 7 ft rod. Because it shares the QED200 series identity and the Grade 1 heavy duty rating, it lines up with the Stanley QED214 on device size and rod length for a 7 ft opening. The Stanley QED214 adds hex-key dogging and is offered in both 36 inch and 48 inch device sizes with 7 ft or 8 ft rods.
9) Does the Stanley QED214 come with trim, and what trim fits it?
Trim is not included. The device ships as an exit-only bar and takes QED200 Series trim, which is thru-bolted for security. Order the outside trim separately in the matching finish if you need outside operation.
10) What does hex-key dogging do on the QED214, and when would I not want it?
Hex-key dogging lets you hold the push bar depressed with an allen wrench so the door stays push-pull during business hours, then release it to relatch at close. It is the reason this device cannot go on a fire door. On a fire opening you want the fire-rated QED216 instead, which uses fire-rated latching rather than mechanical dogging.
11) What are the alternatives to the Stanley QED214 if I need a rim device instead of vertical rod?
If the opening is a single door or a pair with a mullion, a rim device is the simpler install. Narrow stile Grade 1 rim options include the Corbin Russwin ED4200 and the TownSteel ED3700, both 36 inch narrow stile for 1-3/4 inch doors. If you want the rods concealed in the door rather than surface mounted, the Hager 4601 Series is a Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod device.
12) Which alternative to the Stanley QED214 also has hex key dogging?
The Design Hardware 1000R is a 33 inch heavy duty rim device with hex key dogging, and the Design Hardware 2000R is the standard duty wide stile version, also with hex key dogging. Both are non fire rated and not wood door compatible, like the Stanley QED214, which uses hex-key dogging as well.
13) Is a concealed vertical rod device like the Hager 4601 a substitute for the Stanley QED214?
Not a drop-in one. The Hager 4601 Series 36 inch is a Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod exit device, meaning the rods run inside the door and the door must be prepped for them. The Stanley QED214 is a surface vertical rod device with the rods mounted on the face of the door, so it can go on a door that has no internal rod prep. Both are non fire rated.
14) What finishes does the Stanley QED214 come in for matching other openings in a building?
Three: 626 satin chrome, 605 bright brass, and 313AN anodized duranodic bronze. All three are offered in both the 36 inch and 48 inch device with either 7-ft or 8-ft rods, so you can standardize one look across a whole entrance set.
15) Is a Grade 1 device like the QED214 overkill for a low-traffic side exit?
For a door that sees light use, a Grade 2 device costs less to spec and will hold up, for example the Cal-Royal 5000 36 inch rim device, a heavy duty Grade 2 unit. The QED214 is Grade 1 heavy duty and is worth it on main entrances, schools, and any opening cycling hard all day. Note the Cal-Royal is a rim device, so it needs a single door or a mullion.
16) If I need an electrified exit device rather than the mechanical Stanley QED214, what are the options?
The SDC S6136 Spectra S6000 Series 36 inch is an 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 an electrified rim 36 inch device supplied with 4908A classroom trim. The Securitron EMB is an electromechanical exit bar for 2-1/4 inch doors. The Stanley QED214 is a mechanical device with hex-key dogging and no electrified option.
