TownSteel ED1200-4884-630 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the TownSteel ED1200 exit device fit a 2-inch thick door?
Yes. The ED1200 surface vertical rod device covers doors 1-3/4 inches through 2-1/4 inches thick. It ships set up for 1-3/4 inch thick doors as standard, so a 2 inch door means specifying that thickness on the order. Doors thicker than 2-1/4 inches need a factory consult.
2) What door width and height does the 48 x 84 ED1200 cover?
The 48 x 84 configuration is sized for a 4 foot wide opening and a 7 foot (84 inch) door height. The ED1200 family covers openings up to 4 feet wide and doors up to 10 feet high, with 3 foot wide by 7 foot high as the standard furnished size, so this one is the wide-leaf version rather than the default.
3) Can I use a surface vertical rod exit device on a pair of doors without a mullion?
That is exactly what a surface vertical rod device like the ED1200 is for. It latches at the head and at the threshold instead of into the frame edge, so a pair of doors can be secured with no center mullion and the full clear opening stays available. A rim device on the same pair would need a mullion or an overlapping astragal arrangement. The ED1200 is listed for both single and double wide stile doors.
4) Can the ED1200 go in where another brand's exit device already is?
Yes, the 1000 Series devices and trims are built for new or retrofit installation into other manufacturers' devices, so it is a practical swap on an existing prepped door. Confirm the outgoing device is also a wide stile surface vertical rod and that the door falls in the 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch thickness range.
5) Do I have to order trim separately, and does that set the lock function?
Function on the 1000 Series is field selectable by which trim you pair with the device, so the trim choice is what makes the opening exit only, night latch, or keyed entry. TownSteel offers a full range of lever trim in architectural finishes. Order the trim alongside the device, it is a separate selection from the ED1200 chassis.
6) I need a fire-rated surface vertical rod device - can I use the TownSteel ED1200?
No. The ED1200 is not fire rated, so it cannot be used on a fire door assembly. For a fire-rated surface vertical rod, look at the Adams Rite 3100 Series, which is fire rated, Grade 1, wide stile, for 1-3/4 inch doors; the Arrow S1150, fire rated and offered for narrow or wide stile openings on 1-3/4 inch doors; or the Sargent 2727, a Grade 1 fire rated wide stile exit-only device. Sargent 12-8710 is also a fire rated wide stile unit, but its function is dummy, so it is not an active exit device.
7) My door has a narrow stile - what should I order instead of the TownSteel ED1200?
The ED1200 is built for wide stile single and double doors, so a narrow aluminum stile needs a different device. Narrow stile surface vertical rod options include the Corbin Russwin ED4400, Grade 1 non-rated for 1-3/4 inch doors and accepts trim; the Falcon 19-V-EO, Grade 1 non-rated exit only; the Von Duprin 3327A-3ft grooved case for 36 inch doors; the Von Duprin 7527-3ft; and the Adams Rite 8200 Series narrow stile life-safety device. Note the Von Duprin 7527 is listed as not wood door compatible, while the ED1200 is wood door compatible.
8) What is the closest wide stile Grade 1 surface vertical rod equivalent to the TownSteel ED1200 from another brand?
The TownSteel ED1200 is a wide stile, Grade 1, non-fire-rated surface vertical rod exit device. The Von Duprin 2227-3FT is the nearest like-for-like match: wide stile, Grade 1, non-fire-rated, for 36 inch doors 1-3/4 inch thick. Corbin Russwin ED5400 is another wide stile Grade 1 non-rated surface vertical rod that accepts trim, and Falcon 20 Series and Falcon 25-V-EO are wide stile Grade 1 non-rated units for 36 inch, 1-3/4 inch doors. Note that the ED1200 covers openings up to 4 feet wide and up to 10 feet high and doors 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick, which is a wider range than the 36 inch, 1-3/4 inch peers.
9) What looks like a substitute for the TownSteel ED1200 but is not?
Two traps. First, the Sargent 12-8710 is a wide stile fire rated surface vertical rod that reads like a peer, but its function is dummy, so it will not release the door as the ED1200 does. Second, the Von Duprin 7827-3ft is titled as a 3 ft wide stile device with hex key dogging but is specified as narrow stile and not wood door compatible, while the ED1200 is a wide stile device that is wood door compatible. Devices listed as exit only, such as the Arrow S1150 supplied less trim, also will not give you a keyed or lever-trim entry function.
10) Will the ED1200 work on a wood door, or is it steel and aluminum only?
Wood doors are covered. The ED1200 is flagged wood door compatible, which separates it from some narrow stile surface vertical rod devices such as the Von Duprin 7527 and 7827, both of which we list as not wood door compatible.
11) Is the ED1200 ADA compliant and acceptable for a federal or state job?
It meets the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act and also meets Buy American Act guidelines, which is what most government and institutional specs are checking for. Add ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1 certification and UL/cUL listing to UL 305 and it covers the usual panic hardware line items on a school, courthouse, or healthcare submittal.
12) Is there a lighter duty alternative to the TownSteel ED1200 for a low-traffic door?
The ED1200 is a heavy duty Grade 1 device intended for high-impact applications such as offices, schools, banks and assisted living facilities. If the opening sees light traffic, standard duty vertical rod devices include the Design Hardware 2000V, the Orca Hardware OED56 Series in exit only for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Dexter ED2000 Series, which is Grade 2 rather than Grade 1. Design Hardware also offers the 1000V as a heavy duty vertical rod if you want to stay at the heavier build.
13) I need a device that can be keyed or trimmed for entry, not just exit only - how does the TownSteel ED1200 compare?
The ED1200 function is field selectable by adapting the selected type of trim, with a full complement of lever trim in various architectural finishes, so one device covers multiple functions depending on the trim ordered. Among comparables, Corbin Russwin ED5400 and ED4400 are listed as exit only and accepting trim, and the ED7400 is exit only accepting operator trim. Devices such as the Falcon 19-V-EO, Falcon 24-V-EO, Falcon 25-V-EO, Arrow 3700, and Arrow S1150 are specified as exit only, and the Arrow S1150 is supplied less trim.
14) Which surface vertical rod devices are reversible or non-handed if I don't want to specify hand?
If handing is a concern on the order, the BEST Precision 5201 Series is described as reversible, the Sargent 2727 is a reversible Grade 1 fire rated wide stile device, the Von Duprin 2227-3FT is non-handed wide stile Grade 1, and the Orca OED56 is non-handed. The TownSteel ED1200 is a wide stile Grade 1 device furnished standard for 1-3/4 inch thick, 3 foot wide, 7 foot high doors and adaptable up to a 4 foot wide, 10 foot high opening.
15) What finishes does the TownSteel ED1200 come in at the 48 x 84 size?
Two: 613 Dark Oxidized Satin Bronze and 630 Satin Stainless Steel. If you are matching a building already standardized on stainless door hardware, 630 is the one to specify; 613 is the dark bronze for buildings running an oil-rubbed or bronze scheme.
16) Will the push bar on this exit device stick out and catch carts or clothing in a tight corridor?
The 1000 Series push bar assembly is built with a smooth, reduced projection specifically to cut down catch hazard, which is the reason it gets specified in schools and assisted living where carts and wheelchairs run the corridors. If you want an even lower profile at the cost of the touchpad action, a crossbar style device like the Corbin Russwin ED7400 is the other route.
