TownSteel ED1200-3684-630 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the TownSteel ED1200 exit device fit a 2 inch thick door?
Yes. The ED1200 covers doors 1-3/4 inches through 2-1/4 inches thick. It ships set up for a 1-3/4 inch door, so if your leaf is thicker you need to say so on the order. Anything over 2-1/4 inches is a factory consult, not a field adjustment.
2) Can I use the TownSteel ED1200 on a door taller than 7 feet?
Up to 10 feet high, yes, but the rods have to be ordered for it. The ED1200 is furnished standard for a 3 foot wide by 7 foot high opening, and the 36 x 84 inch configuration is the standard build. Taller openings up to 10 feet are covered by the series, and openings up to 4 feet wide are supported as well.
3) Can the ED1200 go on a pair of doors without a mullion?
That is what a surface vertical rod device is for. The ED1200 latches at the head and at the threshold rather than into a strike on the frame edge, so a pair of doors can be secured with no center mullion. The series is stated for wide stile single and double doors both.
4) Can the ED1200 replace another manufacturer's surface vertical rod device on an existing door?
Yes, that is a stated design intent of the TownSteel 1000 Series: devices and trims are made for new or retrofit installation into other manufacturers' devices. That makes it a practical swap where you already have prep on the door from a previous wide stile SVR and do not want to re-prep the leaf.
5) Do I get a lever or pull with the TownSteel ED1200, or do I order trim separately?
Trim is a separate decision, and it is what sets the function. On the 1000 Series the device function is field selectable by the type of trim you pair with it, and a full range of lever trim is offered in architectural finishes. Order the device plus the trim that gives you the outside function you want (night latch, classroom, passage, or exit only with no outside trim at all).
6) I need a surface vertical rod device on a fire rated opening - the ED1200 is not fire rated, so what should I use?
The TownSteel ED1200 carries a Fire Rating of No, so for a labeled opening look at the Adams Rite 3100 Series 30 inch fire rated surface vertical rod device, which is Grade 1, wide stile, for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Sargent 2727 is another fire rated Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod, reversible, exit only. The Arrow S1150 is fire rated as well and fits narrow or wide stile, supplied as device only, less trim.
7) What is the closest wide stile Grade 1 surface vertical rod equivalent to the TownSteel ED1200 from a major brand?
The Von Duprin 2227-3FT is the closest straight equivalent: a wide stile surface vertical rod exit device for 36 inch doors, Grade 1, non-handed, for 1-3/4 inch thick doors. Like the TownSteel ED1200, it is Grade 1 and wide stile and is not fire rated. The Falcon 20-V-3FT is a second wide stile Grade 1 option at 36 inches for 1-3/4 inch doors, supplied exit only. Where the ED1200 differs is that its function is field selectable by the trim you pair with it, and it covers doors 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick, up to 4 feet wide and 10 feet high.
8) I am replacing an existing exit device on a wood door - which surface vertical rod options work there?
The TownSteel ED1200 is wood door compatible and is designed for new or retrofit installation into other manufacturers' device preps, which is what makes it a practical swap on an existing wood door. Be careful with some narrow stile alternatives: the Von Duprin 7527-3ft and 7827-3ft are both listed as not wood door compatible. The Corbin Russwin ED5400 is another Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod for 1-3/4 inch doors if you are cross shopping.
9) Which Grade 1 alternatives to the ED1200 can go on doors thicker than 1-3/4 inch?
The TownSteel ED1200 covers doors 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick, up to a 4 foot wide opening and up to 10 feet high, with thicker doors referred to the factory. Most of the Grade 1 comparables are catalogued for 1-3/4 inch doors only, including the Von Duprin 2227-3FT, the Corbin Russwin ED5400, the Falcon 20-V-3FT and the Adams Rite 3100 Series. If your leaf is thicker than 1-3/4 inch, the ED1200 range is the one that covers it.
10) Is the ED1200 ADA compliant for a school or office egress door?
The 1000 Series meets the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act and also meets Buy American Act guidelines, which matters on government and institutional specs. It is a heavy duty commercial device, Grade 1, aimed at high-impact traffic in offices, schools, banks, and assisted living facilities.
11) Is there a lighter duty or Grade 2 alternative to the TownSteel ED1200 for a low traffic interior door?
Yes. The TownSteel ED1200 is a heavy duty Grade 1 device. If the opening does not need Grade 1, the Dexter ED2000 Series is a Grade 2 surface vertical rod panic device, not fire rated. The Design Hardware 2000V is a standard duty 33 inch surface vertical rod device, and the Orca Hardware OED56 is a standard duty 36 inch vertical rod device supplied less bottom rod, non-handed, exit only, for 1-3/4 inch doors. Note the reduced grade and duty level before specifying one on a high traffic institutional opening.
12) Which alternatives to the ED1200 accept lever trim for outside access rather than being exit only?
The TownSteel ED1200 function is field selectable by the trim selected, with a full complement of lever trim in various architectural finishes. Among comparable devices, the Corbin Russwin ED5400 is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod listed as exit only, accepts trim, for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin ED7400 is a Grade 1 narrow stile crossbar version that accepts operator trim. By contrast, the Falcon 25-V-EO and Arrow 3700 Series wide stile pushpad devices are listed exit only, so outside access is not part of their function.
13) Is the Sargent 12-8710 a substitute for the TownSteel ED1200?
No. The Sargent 12-8710 is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device with a dummy function, meaning it is a non-operating push bar used on the inactive leaf or for appearance matching. The TownSteel ED1200 is a working Grade 1 panic device whose function is field selectable by trim. If you want an operating Sargent wide stile surface vertical rod instead, the 3727 is Grade 1, wide stile, exit only.
14) I need a non-handed or reversible surface vertical rod device - how does the ED1200 compare?
The TownSteel ED1200 is a wide stile device for all types of wide stile single and double doors, furnished standard for 1-3/4 inch thick, 3 foot wide, 7 foot high openings. If handing flexibility is the deciding factor, the Von Duprin 2227-3FT is explicitly non-handed and Grade 1 wide stile at 36 inches, the BEST Precision 5201 Series 36 inch surface vertical rod is reversible, and the Sargent 2727 is a reversible Grade 1 wide stile device.
15) What 36 inch wide stile surface vertical rod devices should I cross shop against the TownSteel ED1200?
For a 36 inch wide stile opening, the direct cross shop set is the BEST Precision 2201 Series 36 inch wide stile surface vertical rod, the Falcon 20-V-3FT wide stile Grade 1 36 inch, the Falcon 25-V-EO 3 foot wide stile Grade 1, the Corbin Russwin ED5400 Grade 1 36 inch wide stile, and the Von Duprin 2227-3FT. The TownSteel ED1200 is the Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile device in that group, UL/cUL listed to UL 305, ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1, ADA compliant and meeting Buy American Act guidelines.
16) What finishes does the TownSteel ED1200 come in?
Two: 630 satin stainless steel and 613 dark oxidized satin bronze. If you are standardizing a building, 630 is the usual match for stainless lever trim and push plates, while 613 suits dark bronze storefront and wood door packages.
17) Is there a push bar catch hazard with the ED1200 in a high traffic corridor?
The push bar assembly on the 1000 Series is a smooth, reduced projection design specifically to cut catch hazard on clothing and carts, which is the usual complaint with crossbar devices in busy corridors. If you want a crossbar style instead for aesthetic match, the Corbin Russwin ED7400 is a crossbar surface vertical rod.
18) How does the Dexter ED1000 or ED1500 compare with the TownSteel ED1200?
The Dexter ED1000 Series and ED1500 Series are both Grade 1 surface vertical rod exit devices, matching the TownSteel ED1200 on grade; the ED1500 is listed as not fire rated, as is the ED1200. The ED1000 is offered in an exit only configuration. The TownSteel ED1200 is specifically a wide stile heavy duty device whose function is set in the field by the trim chosen, so if you need lever trim on the outside it is the more flexible starting point.
