Stanley Security QED317 48 7 689 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Stanley QED317 exit device secure a pair of doors without a mullion?
Yes. The QED317 is a surface vertical rod device, so the latching happens at the head of the frame through the top rod rather than at a strike on the edge of the door. That is what lets a pair of doors latch against each other with no center mullion in the opening. Because it is ordered Less Bottom Rod, the securing point is the top latch only.
2) What does Less Bottom Rod mean on the QED317, and why would I want it?
Less Bottom Rod means the device ships without the lower rod and bottom latch, so nothing runs down to the threshold. That removes the rod and strike that collect dirt, get kicked, and bind on out-of-level floors, and it clears the bottom of the door for traffic. It also gives the cleaner look the LBR configuration is chosen for. The tradeoff: you are latching at the head only, so if your spec calls for two-point latching top and bottom, LBR is not the configuration to order.
3) Do I have to specify handing when I order the Stanley QED317?
No handing to call out. The QED317 is non-handed and field-reversible, so one device covers left hand and right hand openings and the installer sets it on site. It is also field-sizeable, which means the crew can adjust the device on the job rather than sending it back for a different length.
4) Can I hold the door in a push-pull free state during business hours with this Stanley exit device?
Yes, through hex-key dogging. Insert the hex key, depress the pushpad, and the latch stays retracted so the door swings freely both ways until you undog it. It takes a tool, not a cylinder, so there is no key control on the dogging function and anyone with the correct hex wrench can dog or undog the device.
5) What finishes does the Stanley QED317 come in, and will it match my other exit hardware?
Two finishes: 689 painted aluminum and 690 painted duranodic bronze. Both are industry standard BHMA finish codes, so 689 lines up with the clear aluminum storefront and door hardware most commercial openings already carry, and 690 matches dark bronze storefront. Either finish can be had in the 36 inch or 48 inch device.
6) Is the Stanley QED317 rated for a heavy traffic commercial entrance?
It is built to ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1, which is the top durability grade for exit devices and the level normally specified for commercial and institutional openings. Trim is thru-bolted rather than wood-screwed, which is what keeps the pushpad and outside trim tight on a door that gets used hard all day.
7) Does the Stanley QED317 include outside trim or a cylinder?
The QED317 is the device itself, a surface vertical rod exit device with hex dogging in the Less Bottom Rod configuration. Outside trim, whether a pull, a keyed lever, or a night latch, is a separate selection, as is any cylinder that trim needs. Plan on ordering the trim and cylinder alongside the device if the opening has to be operable from the outside.
8) Should I use a surface vertical rod device like the QED317 or a rim device with a mullion?
On a pair of doors, a rim device needs a removable mullion to strike against, which means a post in the middle of your clear opening and a mullion to store and reinstall. The QED317 latches into the head instead, so the pair opens clear. Where the doors are single and swing against a frame stop, a rim device is the simpler choice. Pick the SVR when you need the full width of the opening free or when a mullion cannot be tolerated.
9) The rods on my existing exit device are always getting damaged at the floor. Is this Stanley device a fix?
That is the usual reason people move to an LBR device. With the bottom rod and floor strike deleted, there is nothing at the base of the door to bend, bind, or fill with debris, and nothing to trip a mop or a cart. The QED317 gives you that in a Grade 1 surface vertical rod device with hex dogging, in 36 inch or 48 inch device lengths.
