TownSteel ED1100-36-630 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I use a rim exit device 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 on a pair it needs a removable mullion between the leaves. The TownSteel ED1100 is built for wide stile single and double doors with or without a mullion. If you want the pair to open clear with no mullion at all, that is where a vertical rod device comes in, latching top and bottom instead, such as the Hager 4501 concealed vertical rod device in wide stile.
2) Does the TownSteel ED1100 replace an existing exit device from another brand?
Yes, that is what the 1000 Series is built for. The devices and trims are made for new or retrofit installation into other manufacturers' devices, so the ED1100 is a common swap when an old wide stile rim device on a metal door has failed. Confirm the door is 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches and the stile is wide, and that the opening is not a labeled fire door, since this one is not fire rated.
3) Does the TownSteel ED1100 meet ADA and ANSI Grade 1 for a school or public building?
Grade 1 under ANSI/BHMA A156.3, UL/cUL listed to UL 305 for panic hardware, and it meets the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. It also meets the guidelines of the Buy American Act, which matters on government and institutional work. TownSteel classes it heavy duty for commercial use, aimed at offices, schools, banks, assisted living and similar high traffic openings.
4) The opening needs a fire rated exit device instead of the ED1100 - what rim device covers that?
The ED1100 is not fire rated, so for a fire door use a labeled device instead. Marks USA M9900F is a fire rated 36 inch rim exit device, exit only, with a panic protector end cap, and the same model is offered at 48 inches. Orca Hardware OED85 is a fire rated 36 inch rim exit device, exit only. Dexter ED1000 is offered in a Grade 1 fire rated rim version, and Adams Rite 3700 is a fire rated Grade 1 rim device in a 30 inch narrow stile build for aluminum or wood doors.
5) The door is a narrow stile aluminum storefront - what rim exit device fits instead of the ED1100?
The ED1100 is built for wide stile doors, so a narrow stile chassis is the right direction on a storefront. Adams Rite 8800 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors with starwheel interlocking, in a 30 inch size. Corbin Russwin ED4200 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device at 36 inches for 1-3/4 inch doors, exit only and able to accept trim. Falcon 19-R is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device at 36 inches, exit only, for 1-3/4 inch doors.
6) What is the closest Grade 1 wide stile rim exit device to the TownSteel ED1100 in a 36 inch size?
The Von Duprin 22-3FT is the nearest match: a 36 inch non-handed wide stile pushpad rim exit device rated ANSI Grade 1, non-fire-rated, for 1-3/4 inch doors. Like the ED1100 it is a wide stile pushpad rim device at Grade 1 in the 36 inch length. Corbin Russwin ED5200 is a second option, a Grade 1 wide stile rim device at 36 inches for 1-3/4 inch doors that is exit only and accepts trim, which lines up with the ED1100 approach of setting function by the trim selected.
7) The opening is a 4 foot leaf - what wide stile rim device covers a 48 inch door instead of the ED1100?
The ED1100 covered here is the 36 inch size. For a 48 inch leaf, DORMA 9300 is a 48 inch wide stile panic rim device, exit only, Grade 1 heavy duty, for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, which is the same door thickness span the ED1100 works across. Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch wide stile crossbar rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and CRL Jackson 1095 is a 48 inch wide stile crossbar rim panic device, exit only. Dexter ED1000 is also built in a 4 foot Grade 1 rim version.
8) Can an SDC MSB550 or PSB560 bar be used in place of the TownSteel ED1100?
No - those are not mechanical latching panic devices. The ED1100 is a Grade 1 rim exit device that latches to a strike and is UL/cUL listed for panic hardware. The SDC MSB550 is a 36 inch mechanical switch bar that releases an electromagnetic lock, and the SDC PSB560 SureExit is a 36 inch pressure sense bar with tri-failsafe technology. Both are switch bars that signal a separate locking device rather than carrying the latch themselves, and they are built to mount on narrow or wide stile doors. If the opening needs a maglock released by a bar, those apply; if it needs a latching rim exit device, the ED1100 is the type. The SDC S6136 Spectra is closer in kind - a 36 inch electrified architectural rim exit device on a 4 inch wide stile for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors.
9) What size opening does the 36 inch TownSteel ED1100 cover?
The 36 inch ED1100 is the 3 foot device and it is furnished standard for a 3 foot wide opening. The 1000 Series covers openings up to 4 feet wide, so a 4 foot leaf takes the longer device rather than this one. Sizing goes by the door leaf, not the frame.
10) Do I order the TownSteel ED1100 handed, and how do I get a classroom or storeroom function?
Function on the 1000 Series is field selectable by the trim you pair with the device, so the device itself is not what sets the function. A full range of lever trim is offered in architectural finishes. Order the ED1100 as exit only if the outside face never needs to be opened by key, or add the lever trim that matches the function you want on that opening.
11) What finishes does the TownSteel ED1100 come in, and will it match my other doors?
Two finishes on the ED1100: 630 satin stainless steel and 613 dark oxidized satin bronze. 630 is the standard commercial finish and is what most schools, offices and hospitals are already standardized on, so it is the safe match for existing openings. 613 is the dark bronze look, usually chosen to match bronze storefront or existing dark hardware.
12) Is there a cheaper alternative to the TownSteel ED1100 for a low traffic back door?
If the opening does not need Grade 1, Cal-Royal's 5000 in 36 inch is a heavy duty touch bar rim device built on a Grade 2 chassis, and the Design Hardware 2000R is a standard duty wide stile rim device in 33 inch. Both are steps down from the ED1100, which is Grade 1 heavy duty. On a school, bank or other high abuse opening, stay with Grade 1.
13) The exit device has to be electrified for access control - what replaces the TownSteel ED1100 there?
The ED1100 is a mechanical Grade 1 rim device whose function is set by the trim. For an electrified opening, the Dormakaba E2103 is a 36 inch electrified rim exit device furnished with 4908A trim in an 08 classroom function. The SDC S6136 Spectra is a 36 inch electrified architectural rim exit device on a 4 inch wide stile for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, which sits in the same wide stile family as the ED1100. Securitron EMB is an electromechanical exit bar built for 2-1/4 inch doors.
14) What is a simpler wide stile rim exit device than the ED1100 when the door only needs to push out and never accept trim?
The ED1100 sets its function by the trim you pair with it, so it is the choice when a lever or cylinder trim is going on the outside. If the outside face stays blank, an exit only device is the simpler build: Corbin Russwin ED2200 is a Grade 1 36 inch wide stile rim device, exit only, and Imperial USA ED-501 is a Grade 1 36 inch wide stile rim panic device, exit only. Orca OED55 is a 36 inch exit only rim device as well. None of these are fire rated, matching the ED1100 in that respect.
15) Is the Cal-Royal 5000 the same class of exit device as the TownSteel ED1100?
They are both heavy duty 36 inch wide rim exit devices with a touch or push bar and neither is fire rated, but they certify at different levels. The ED1100 is ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1 certified and UL/cUL listed to UL 305. The Cal-Royal 5000 is a Grade 2 chassis. The Cal-Royal 5500 is the same Grade 2 heavy duty build in a 48 inch push bar version. If a specification calls for Grade 1 on the drawing, the Cal-Royal 5000 is not a drop-in answer to it.
16) For a school or high traffic institutional door, what compares to the TownSteel ED1100 on durability?
The ED1100 is a heavy duty Grade 1 device built for high-impact applications such as offices, schools, banks and assisted living facilities. Detex Advantex 10 is a step up in stated duty: a 36 inch wide stile rim exit device rated extra heavy duty at Grade 1, not fire rated. Detex V4003A is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device supplied with night latch trim as a device only, exit only build. DORMA 8300 is a Grade 1 wide stile panic rim device in the same non-fire-rated class.
17) Is the Detex Advantex 00 Series a substitute for the TownSteel ED1100?
No. The Detex 00 Series is a dummy exit device with a wide stile design - it matches the look of a working device but does not operate a latch. The ED1100 is a UL/cUL listed panic rim exit device certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1. The Detex 00 is what you put on the inactive leaf of a pair so the doors read the same; the ED1100 is what goes on the leaf that has to open under egress. The Sargent 12-8810 is likewise a dummy function device, in a fire rated wide stile build.
18) What is the difference between the TownSteel ED1100 and a concealed vertical rod device like the Hager 4501?
The ED1100 is a rim exit device - the latch throws into a strike on the frame at the push bar height. The Hager 4501 is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod exit device with a wide stile pushpad at 36 inches, and the Hager 4601 is the narrow stile concealed vertical rod version at the same length; both latch top and bottom through rods hidden in the door. Concealed rod devices require a door prepped to receive them, while the ED1100 is designed for new or retrofit installation into other manufacturers' devices. Hager 4701 is that brand's rim device at 36 inches, BHMA Grade 1 certified in a standard duty build.
19) Will the push bar on the TownSteel ED1100 stick out into the door opening and catch on carts?
The push bar assembly on the 1000 Series is a reduced projection design with a smooth face, which cuts the catch hazard in corridors where carts, gurneys or luggage pass close to the door. That is one reason TownSteel points the series at schools, assisted living and similar high traffic institutional openings.
20) The ED1100 push bar projects less than a crossbar - which comparable devices use a crossbar instead of a touch bar?
The ED1100 uses a push bar assembly with reduced projection to minimize catch hazard. If a crossbar look is wanted to match existing doors, Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch wide stile crossbar rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and CRL Jackson 1095 is a 48 inch wide stile crossbar rim panic device, exit only. Sargent 3828 is a Grade 1 reversible standard push bar rim device for 48 inch doors, and CRL Jackson 1295 is a non-handed push pad wide stile rim panic device for 1-3/4 inch doors.
21) The ED1100 comes in 613 and 630 - which comparable devices does the finish decision come down to?
The TownSteel ED1100 is offered in 613 dark oxidized satin bronze and 630 satin stainless steel, and TownSteel supplies a full complement of lever trim in various architectural finishes to match. When the rest of the opening is being matched, the wide stile Grade 1 peers to weigh against it are the Von Duprin 22-3FT 36 inch non-handed pushpad device, the Corbin Russwin ED5200 36 inch device that accepts trim, and the DORMA 8300 wide stile panic rim device.
