TownSteel ED3700-48-630 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I have to order the ED3700 handed, left or right?
No handing to specify. Every device in the TownSteel 3700 Series is non-handed or reversible, so one part covers a left hand or right hand opening. That is what you want for a property with mixed swings, since you stock one device instead of two.
2) Is a rim exit device the right choice, or do I need a vertical rod device?
A rim device like the ED3700 latches into a strike on the frame or, on a pair, into a mullion. It is the simplest exit device to install and service. If you have a pair of doors with no center mullion and you need a clear opening, a rim device will not work on its own, and you want a vertical rod device that latches at the head and threshold instead, such as the Hager 4601 concealed vertical rod narrow stile device or the Hager 4501 wide stile CVR. On single doors and mullion pairs, stay with the rim.
3) Is the TownSteel ED3700 ADA compliant for an accessible egress door?
Yes. The ED3700 meets the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act, which is what you need for egress hardware that has to release with a single motion and no tight grasping. It is also ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1 certified and UL/cUL Listed to UL 305 for panic hardware, and it meets the guidelines of the Buy American Act, which matters on federally funded work.
4) What is the closest replacement for a TownSteel ED3700 from another brand?
For a like-for-like narrow stile Grade 1 rim device, the Corbin Russwin ED4200 narrow stile rim device and the Falcon 19-R Series narrow stile exit only device are the nearest matches we carry, both Grade 1 narrow stile and both listed for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Detex 40 Advantex is the extra heavy duty narrow stile option if the opening is taking more abuse than a standard entry. Watch the bar length when you cross over, since several of these are catalogued at 36 inches and the ED3700 here is the 48 inch size.
5) What is the closest Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device to a TownSteel ED3700 in a 48 inch size?
The TownSteel ED3700 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device in a 48 inch size. For a comparable narrow stile Grade 1 rim device, the Corbin Russwin ED4200 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device, and the Falcon 1790EO is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device in exit only function. The Detex 40 Advantex is also a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device, rated extra heavy duty. The ED3700 itself is non-handed and reversible, so one part covers left and right hand openings.
6) What is the difference between the TownSteel ED3700 and a wide stile rim device like the Von Duprin 22?
The TownSteel ED3700 is a narrow stile device with a minimum stile width of 1-3/4 inches, which is what lets it sit on an aluminum storefront rail. The Von Duprin 22 Series is a Grade 1 wide stile pushpad rim exit device for 1-3/4 inch doors, built for the broader stile of a hollow metal door. Both are Grade 1 and non-handed, but the wide stile chassis will not fit within a 1-3/4 inch stile.
7) How well does the TownSteel ED3700 hold up on a high abuse door, like a school or a public entry?
The latching mechanism is a high shock resistant mechanical design built for vandalism protection, and all internal components are electro-plated steel or corrosion resistant alloy. That combination is aimed at doors that get kicked, slammed, and exposed to weather at an exterior entry. It is rated heavy duty commercial hardware, not a residential product.
8) Can I use a narrow stile device like the ED3700 on a wide stile hollow metal door?
Physically it will mount, since a wide stile has more room than the 1-3/4 inch minimum the ED3700 needs, but the bar and end cap are proportioned for narrow stile aluminum and the look on a hollow metal leaf is usually wrong. For a wide stile door, the Corbin Russwin ED5200, the Von Duprin 22 Series, or the Dorma 9300 in 48 inch are the wide stile Grade 1 rim devices to look at instead.
9) I need the exit door to release on a card reader or an access control system. Does the ED3700 do that?
The ED3700 is a mechanical panic device. For an electrified exit that ties into access control, look at the SDC S6136 Spectra electrified rim device, the SDC PSB560 pressure sense bar, the SDC MSB550 mechanical switch bar with electromagnetic lock release, or the Dormakaba electrified rim device with 4908A trim. The SDC bars are catalogued for narrow or wide stile, which keeps you in the same storefront format as the ED3700.
10) Is a Cal-Royal 5500 48 inch rim exit device an equivalent to the TownSteel ED3700 48 inch?
They are not equivalent on certification. The TownSteel ED3700 is ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1 certified and narrow stile. The Cal-Royal 5500 is a 48 inch wide rim exit device with a push bar carrying a Grade 2 rating, and the Cal-Royal 5000 is likewise Grade 2. Both Cal-Royal devices are heavy duty like the ED3700, but if the specification calls out Grade 1 on a narrow stile, the ED3700 is the one that meets it.
11) I need to key or dog the device and the TownSteel ED3700 is exit only. What narrow stile rim device accepts lever or nightlatch trim?
For a narrow stile opening that needs outside access, the Corbin Russwin ED4200 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device listed as exit only and accepts trim. The Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device in nightlatch function. If the outside side does not need to open, the TownSteel ED3700 covers the egress side on its own.
12) Which narrow stile rim exit devices besides the TownSteel ED3700 are heavy duty Grade 1 with hex key dogging?
The TownSteel ED3700 is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim device with a high shock-resistant latching mechanism for vandalism protection. For similar duty, the Stanley Security QED200 is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim exit device with hex key dogging, and the Dormakaba QED200 is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow exit device. The Detex 40 Advantex is narrow stile Grade 1 at an extra heavy duty level.
13) Does an SDC pressure sense bar or switch bar replace a TownSteel ED3700?
No. The TownSteel ED3700 is a mechanical Grade 1 rim exit device that latches the door. The SDC PSB560 SureExit is a pressure sense bar and the SDC MSB550 is a mechanical switch bar that releases an electromagnetic lock; both are offered for narrow or wide stile doors but they signal a release rather than provide a rim latch. Use them where an electromagnetic lock holds the door, and the ED3700 where the door needs its own latching device.
14) I am standardizing a facility on Grade 1 rim exit devices in 48 inch. What other 48 inch options are there besides the TownSteel ED3700?
The TownSteel ED3700 covers a 48 inch narrow stile opening at Grade 1. For 48 inch openings with a wide stile, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim exit device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the DORMA 9300 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty 48 inch wide stile rim device for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors. The Dexter ED1000 comes in a 4FT Grade 1 rim version. Match the stile type to the door before standardizing.
15) What finishes does the TownSteel ED3700 narrow stile rim device come in?
Two finishes: 630 satin stainless steel and 695 Duro (dark bronze). 630 is the standard choice for matching stainless pulls and storefront hardware on a commercial entry; 695 is what you pick to blend with bronze anodized aluminum framing. Both are the same device, so a mixed building can run one finish per elevation without changing the part.
