TownSteel ED1100-48-630 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the TownSteel ED1100 48-inch rim exit device fit a 4-foot wide door?
Yes. The ED1100 at 48 inches is the size for openings up to 4 feet wide. TownSteel furnishes the 1000 Series standard for a 1-3/4 inch thick, 3 foot wide opening, so the 48 inch version is the one to order when your leaf is wider than 3 feet. Doors thicker than 2-1/4 inches need a factory consultation.
2) What door thickness does the TownSteel 1000 Series ED1100 cover?
1-3/4 inch through 2-1/4 inch doors. That covers standard commercial hollow metal at 1-3/4 inch as well as thicker aluminum and insulated leaves. Anything thicker than 2-1/4 inches is a factory question, not an off-the-shelf order.
3) Is the TownSteel ED1100 fire rated?
No. The ED1100 is panic hardware only, UL/cUL Listed to UL 305, and it carries no fire rating. On a fire door assembly you need a fire exit device instead, for example the Marks USA M9900F in 48 inch, or the Orca OED85 Series in 36 inch.
4) Will a rim exit device work on a pair of doors, or do I need vertical rods?
A rim device latches into a strike on the frame or on a mullion, so the ED1100 works on single doors and on pairs either with or without a mullion, per TownSteel's own application note for the 1000 Series. If you need a clear opening with no mullion and no rim strike surface, a concealed vertical rod device like the Hager 4501 Series is the other route, since it latches at the head and sill instead.
5) Can the ED1100 replace another manufacturer's exit device without redoing the door prep?
TownSteel builds the 1000 Series for new or retrofit installation into other manufacturers' devices, so it is intended to go back onto an existing wide stile prep. Confirm your existing device is a rim type and the stile is wide, since the ED1100 is a wide stile device.
6) Does the ED1100 meet ADA and Grade 1 requirements for a school or institutional opening?
Yes on both counts. The ED1100 is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1 and UL 305, and TownSteel states it meets the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. It also meets Buy American Act guidelines, which matters on government and publicly funded work.
7) What is the closest equivalent to the TownSteel ED1100 48-inch rim exit device from another manufacturer?
The ED1100 is a wide stile, Grade 1, heavy duty rim exit device sized for 48-inch openings and not fire rated. The DORMA 9300 Series 48-inch exit-only device matches on all of those points: wide stile, Grade 1, heavy duty, not fire rated, and it carries the same 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range the ED1100 covers. The Corbin Russwin ED3200 is also a 48-inch Grade 1 wide stile non-fire-rated rim device, though it uses a crossbar rather than a push bar.
8) The ED1100 is wide stile - what rim device works on a narrow stile aluminum door?
The ED1100 is built for wide stile single and double doors, so a narrow aluminum stile needs a different device. Grade 1 narrow stile rim options include the Corbin Russwin ED4200, the Falcon 19-R exit only device, and the Adams Rite 8800 Series, which also covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. Detex 40 Advantex is a narrow stile Grade 1 device in an extra heavy duty build.
9) I need a 48-inch rim exit device on a fire rated opening - what should I use instead of the TownSteel ED1100?
The ED1100 is not fire rated, so it cannot go on a fire door. For a 48-inch fire rated opening, the Marks USA M9900F 48-inch rim panic device is fire rated and exit only. Dexter's ED1000 Series fire rated rim device is another Grade 1 fire rated option if the size suits the leaf.
10) Is an SDC pressure sense bar or switch bar a substitute for the TownSteel ED1100?
No. The ED1100 is a mechanical Grade 1 rim exit device with its own latch, UL 305 listed for panic hardware. The SDC PSB560 is a pressure sense bar and the SDC MSB550 is a mechanical switch bar that releases an electromagnetic lock - they signal a lock to release rather than latching the door themselves, and they fit narrow or wide stile. If the opening needs a latching rim device, they are not an exchange. SDC's S6136 Spectra is an electrified rim exit device for 4-inch wide stile if you want a latching device with electrified function.
11) Is the ED1100 a lock function device or exit only, and how do I get outside trim?
Device function on the 1000 Series is field selectable by the trim you pair with it, so the same device can be exit only or take a lever for entry depending on the trim ordered. A full range of lever trim is offered in architectural finishes, so specify the trim and its function along with the device.
12) Is there a lighter-duty 48-inch rim exit device than the TownSteel ED1100?
Yes. The ED1100 is a Grade 1 heavy duty device. The Cal-Royal 5500 is a 48-inch wide rim exit device with a push bar built to Grade 2, and the Cal-Royal A9820 is a 48-inch exit-only rim device also listed at Grade 2. Both are non-fire-rated like the ED1100. Grade 2 is a lower ANSI cycle and strength class, so confirm the opening's spec allows it.
13) The ED1100 lets me set the function with trim - which comparable devices are exit only and cannot do that?
The ED1100's function is field selectable by the type of lever trim you pair with it, and a full complement of lever trim is offered. Several comparable rim devices are catalogued exit only with no trim function: the Corbin Russwin ED2200 36-inch Grade 1 wide stile device, the Sargent 2828 and 3828 Grade 1 wide stile reversible devices for 48-inch doors, and the Marks USA M9900 36-inch device. If you need outside lever access, those require a different configuration.
14) What wide stile rim device should I look at if the ED1100 is going into an abusive high-traffic opening?
The ED1100 is a Grade 1 heavy duty device intended for high-impact applications such as schools, banks and assisted living. If you want a step above heavy duty, the Detex 10 Advantex 36-inch wide stile device is Grade 1 rated extra heavy duty, and the Detex V4003A wide stile Grade 1 device comes with night latch trim for a door that needs keyed outside access.
15) The ED1100 is a rim device - what if my 48-inch pair needs vertical rod hardware instead?
A rim device like the ED1100 latches to a strike on the frame or mullion, which is why it suits wide stile single and double doors with or without a mullion. If the pair has no mullion and the spec calls for top and bottom latching, a concealed vertical rod device is the different animal: the Hager 4501 Series is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device with a wide stile pushpad, and the Hager 4601 is the narrow stile version.
16) What finishes does the TownSteel ED1100 come in?
Two: 613 dark oxidized satin bronze and 630 satin stainless steel. 630 is the usual match for stainless pulls and hollow metal hardware across a facility; 613 suits dark bronze storefront and door hardware packages.
17) Is the ED1100 push bar going to catch on carts or bags in a high traffic corridor?
The 1000 Series push bar assembly uses a smooth, reduced projection design specifically to cut catch hazard, and TownSteel positions the series for high impact traffic in offices, schools, banks, assisted living and similar institutional buildings. It is classed heavy duty and commercial.
18) I am standardizing a building on one rim device but some openings are 36 inches - what pairs with the 48-inch ED1100?
The ED1100 in the 1000 Series covers 48-inch openings in 613 dark oxidized satin bronze and 630 satin stainless steel. If you are matching across sizes with another line, Dexter's ED1000 Series is offered as a 3FT and a 4FT Grade 1 rim device in the same non-fire-rated build, which lets one series cover both leaf widths.
