Stanley Security QED316 48 7 689 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Stanley QED316 exit device work on a pair of doors with no center mullion?
Yes. The QED316 is a surface vertical rod device, so it latches at the head and at the threshold rather than into a strike on a mullion. That is what makes it the choice for a pair of doors where you need a clear opening and cannot put a removable mullion in the middle. A rim device would need that mullion to latch into.
2) Can the Stanley QED316 be used on a fire rated door?
Yes. The QED316 is UL/cUL fire rated to A-label and UL listed for fire rated doors, which is why it ships without mechanical dogging behavior you would expect on a non-rated device. It is also certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1 and is stated as ADA and Title 24 compliant, so it covers the usual specification line on a rated opening in an institutional or commercial building.
3) Do I need to order a left hand or right hand QED316 exit device?
Neither. The QED316 is non-handed and field reversible, so one device covers both hands of door. For a stocking distributor or a property manager keeping spares on the shelf, that means one part number covers every opening in the building instead of two.
4) Which size Stanley QED316 do I order for a 7 foot door versus an 8 foot door?
Two things get specified separately: the device length and the door height. The QED316 comes in a 36 inch (3 ft) device and a 48 inch (4 ft) device, and each is ordered against either a 7 ft door or an 8 ft door. The door height selection is what sets the vertical rod length, so an 8 ft opening needs the 8 ft door option even if you are using the 36 inch device. Pick the device length off the door width and the door size off the actual opening height.
5) My door is a non-standard width. Can the QED316 be cut down to fit?
Yes, within limits. The 36 inch QED316 is field sizeable down to 32 inches, so an odd width door in that range is handled on site without a special order. The device is described as field sizeable generally, so a narrower opening inside that band does not push you to a different model.
6) Is the QED316 a narrow stile device for an aluminum storefront door?
No. The QED316 uses a wide stile pushpad, so it is built for wide stile aluminum, hollow metal, and wood doors. If the opening is a narrow stile aluminum storefront door, this is the wrong device and you want a narrow stile exit device instead.
7) What finishes does the Stanley QED316 come in, and will they match the rest of my storefront hardware?
Two finishes: 689 painted aluminum (equivalent to US28) and 690 painted duranodic bronze. Both are available across every device length and door height combination, so a building standardizing on dark bronze storefront can run the same finish on 7 ft and 8 ft openings with either the 36 inch or 48 inch device.
8) Is the Stanley QED316 heavy enough for a high traffic entrance?
It is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1, the highest durability grade for exit devices, and uses thru-bolt construction rather than wood or sheet metal screws into the door face. Thru-bolting is what keeps the pushpad chassis tight on a door that gets hit thousands of times a week, which is the usual failure point on a school, hospital, or multi-family entry.
9) Does the Stanley QED316 come with outside trim or a cylinder?
The QED316 is the exit device itself. Outside trim, whether that is a pull, a keyed lever, or a thumbpiece, and the cylinder for it are specified separately against how the opening needs to work from the pull side. Decide first whether the outside face needs to be locked, always free, or exit only, then order the trim to match.
10) How does the Stanley QED316 differ from the rest of the QED300 series?
The QED316 is the fire rated surface vertical rod configuration within the QED300 series, a family aimed at light to moderate commercial use. The distinguishing points for ordering are the SVR latching (top and bottom rather than into the frame edge) and the fire rating, which rules out mechanical dogging on the device.
