TownSteel EF1200-4884-630 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the TownSteel ED1200 surface vertical rod exit device fit a 2-inch thick door?
Yes. The 1000 Series ED1200 covers doors 1-3/4 inches through 2-1/4 inches thick. It ships set up for 1-3/4 inch thick doors, so if your door is thicker you are adapting from the standard configuration. Anything over 2-1/4 inches needs a factory consult.
2) I have a 48 inch wide by 84 inch tall door - is this the right size ED1200 to order?
Yes, that is exactly what the 48" x 84" ED1200 is built for. The 1000 Series as a whole handles openings up to 4 feet wide and up to 10 feet high, but the device ships standard for a 3 foot wide, 7 foot high door, so the 48 x 84 configuration is the sized-up version with rods to match your leaf.
3) Can I use the TownSteel ED1200 on a fire rated door assembly?
Yes. The ED1200 is fire rated, and the 1000 Series devices and trims are UL/cUL listed for panic or fire hardware. One practical consequence: fire rated exit devices cannot be dogged down, so if you need the door to push free during business hours, a fire device is the wrong choice for that opening.
4) Does the TownSteel ED1200 work on a wood door?
Yes, the ED1200 is wood door compatible, and the 1000 Series is stated for all types of wide stile single and double doors. That matters when you are comparing: the Von Duprin 7527 and 7827 are both listed as not wood door compatible, so on a wood fire door they are out.
5) Can I use a surface vertical rod device on a pair of doors with no center mullion?
That is the main reason to pick a vertical rod device. The rods latch at the head and the threshold rather than into a strike on the frame's jamb or a mullion, so a pair of doors can be secured without a center mullion in the opening. A rim device on a pair needs a removable mullion between the leaves. The TownSteel 1000 Series is stated for single and double wide stile doors.
6) Can the TownSteel 1000 Series replace another brand's surface vertical rod exit device?
Yes, that is a stated design intent. The 1000 Series exit devices and trims are built for new or retrofit installation into other manufacturers' devices, so it goes onto openings already prepped for a competitor's surface vertical rod. Confirm your leaf falls inside 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches thick and 4 feet by 10 feet maximum.
7) Is the TownSteel ED1200 Grade 1, and does it meet ADA?
ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1 certified, UL/cUL listed to UL 305, and stated to meet the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. It also meets the guidelines of the Buy American Act, which is often the deciding line item on a government or school bid.
8) Can I use a narrow stile vertical rod device in place of the TownSteel ED1200?
No - stile type is not interchangeable. The TownSteel ED1200 is a wide stile device sized for wide stile single and double doors. Narrow stile surface vertical rod devices such as the Adams Rite 8200 Series, the Corbin Russwin ED4400, the Falcon 19-V-EO and the Von Duprin 3327A are built for the narrow rail of an aluminum storefront door and mount to a different door face. Order by the stile of the door you actually have. The Arrow S1150 is the one in the group listed for narrow or wide stile, and it is fire rated.
9) What is the closest fire rated wide stile surface vertical rod equivalent to the TownSteel ED1200?
The TownSteel 1000 Series ED1200 is a Grade 1, fire rated, wide stile surface vertical rod exit device. The closest cross-brand match on those same three points is the Adams Rite 3100 Series, which is listed as a Grade 1 fire-rated wide stile surface vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors. Sargent's 2727 is another wide stile Grade 1 fire rated surface vertical rod device, offered as a reversible exit only unit. If the opening needs trim-driven function selection, note that the ED1200 sets its function by the trim chosen, while the Sargent 2727 is an exit only device.
10) Which surface vertical rod devices look like the TownSteel ED1200 but will not perform the same function?
Watch two in particular. The Sargent 12-8710 is a wide stile Grade 1 fire rated surface vertical rod device but its function is dummy - it has no latching operation and is used on the inactive leaf or for appearance matching, so it is not a substitute for the latching ED1200. The Corbin Russwin ED7400 is a crossbar style device rather than a push bar and is narrow stile, which changes both the look and the door it mounts to. The ED1200 uses a push bar assembly with reduced projection and is wide stile.
11) How do I set the function on the TownSteel ED1200 - exit only, night latch, passage?
Function isn't fixed in the device. On the 1000 Series the function is field selectable by the type of trim you pair with it, and TownSteel offers a full range of lever trim in architectural finishes. So order the device, then order the trim that gives you the function you want; with no trim, it is exit only from the inside.
12) Is the TownSteel ED1200 heavy duty enough for a school or bank entrance?
It is classed heavy duty and commercial, Grade 1, and TownSteel states the 1000 Series for high-impact applications including offices, schools, banks and assisted living. The push bar has a smooth, reduced projection, which cuts down on catch hazard in corridors with traffic and carts.
13) I need a surface vertical rod device on a 48 inch opening but the door is not fire rated - what else works?
The TownSteel ED1200 is fire rated and will serve a non-rated opening as well, but if the job does not require a rated device there are non-rated wide stile Grade 1 alternatives: the Von Duprin 2227 (22 Series, wide stile, Grade 1, 1-3/4 inch doors), the Corbin Russwin ED5400 (ED5000 Series, wide stile, Grade 1, accepts trim), and the Falcon 25-V-EO (25 Series, wide stile, Grade 1, exit only). The Corbin ED5400 accepts trim like the ED1200 does; the Falcon 25-V-EO is exit only with no outside operation.
14) What is the difference between the TownSteel ED1200 and the Arrow S1150 fire rated vertical rod device?
Both are fire rated surface vertical rod exit devices. The TownSteel ED1200 is Grade 1, wide stile, and its function is field selectable by the trim you pair with it. The Arrow S1150 is listed as an exit only device, less trim, and fits narrow or wide stile doors 1-3/4 inch thick. Choose the ED1200 when the opening needs outside lever operation; choose the S1150 when the door is egress only and no outside trim is wanted.
15) Is there a standard duty or Grade 2 alternative to the TownSteel ED1200 for a light traffic door?
The TownSteel ED1200 is a heavy duty Grade 1 device. For lower traffic non-rated openings the comparable set includes the Design Hardware 2000V, a standard duty surface vertical rod device, the Orca OED56 standard duty device supplied less bottom rod in aluminum finish, and the Dexter ED2000 Series, a Grade 2 surface vertical rod panic device. None of those three is fire rated, so they cannot go on a rated opening where the ED1200 would.
16) What finishes does the 48 x 84 TownSteel ED1200 come in?
Two: 630 satin stainless steel and 613 dark oxidized satin bronze. 630 is the usual choice for schools, healthcare and anywhere the rest of the openings are stainless; 613 matches dark bronze storefront and hospitality packages.
17) How does the TownSteel ED1200 compare to the Dexter ED1000 and ED1500 vertical rod devices?
All three are Grade 1 surface vertical rod exit devices. The Dexter ED1500 Series is listed as non-rated, so it does not serve a fire rated opening. The TownSteel ED1200 is fire rated and heavy duty, wide stile, and accepts a full range of lever trim so the function is chosen at trim selection. The Dexter ED1000 Series is a Grade 1 surface vertical rod family as well.
