Tell ED936-AL – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I use the Tell ED936 on a fire rated door?
No. The ED936 is not fire rated, so it cannot go on a labeled fire door assembly. It is panic exit hardware for egress on a non-rated opening. For a rated opening you need a device carrying a fire label.
2) Should I use a rim exit device or a vertical rod device on my opening?
A rim device like the ED936 latches into a strike on the frame at the lock edge, which is the simplest install on a single door or on a pair with a center mullion. If you have a pair of doors with no mullion, a rim device has nothing to latch into at the center and you want a vertical rod device instead, which latches at the head and sill. Tell's 9000 series covers both types plus a mortise lock version for higher security openings.
3) What is the closest alternative to the Tell ED936 rim exit device for a 36 inch door?
The Codelocks CL-ED Series 36 inch rim exit device is the nearest equivalent: it is also a rim-mounted exit device sized for a 36 inch door. The Tell ED936 is a Grade 1 rim device rated as panic exit hardware and fits doors 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch thick. The Codelocks CL-ED is part of the CL-ED Series. Both are non-fire-rated and neither is listed as wood door compatible, so both suit the same metal-door, non-fire opening.
4) Is the Tell ED936 a Grade 1 device, and what does that mean for a high traffic entrance?
Grade 1 is the heaviest-duty ANSI/BHMA classification, which is the level facility buyers specify for high traffic commercial entrances. The ED936 is a Grade 1 rim device from Tell's ED900 architectural series.
5) I need an exit device on a wood door - will the Tell ED936 or the Codelocks CL-ED work?
Neither is a wood door application. The Tell ED936 rim exit device and the Codelocks CL-ED Series 36 inch rim device are both listed as not wood door compatible, so for a wood leaf you should specify a device rated for that substrate rather than substituting one of these two for the other.
6) What is the difference between the Tell ED936 and the Codelocks CL-ED 36 inch rim exit device?
Both are rim-applied exit devices for a 36 inch door, and both are non-fire-rated with no wood door compatibility. The Tell ED936 belongs to the ED900 Series and is specified as a Grade 1 device rated for panic exit hardware, with a door thickness range of 1-3/8 inch to 1-3/4 inch, and is offered in an aluminum finish. The Codelocks unit belongs to the CL-ED Series. If your drawing calls out a Grade 1 panic device, the Tell ED936 is the one that states that grade.
7) What finish does the Tell ED936 exit device come in?
Aluminum (AL) is the finish offered on the ED936. If you are standardizing a run of openings on one look, every unit will match.
