TownSteel ED3727-4896-630 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the TownSteel ED3727 fit an aluminum storefront door with a narrow stile?
Yes, as long as the stile measures at least 4-3/4 inches (120mm). That is the minimum stile width for the ED3727 surface vertical rod device, which is why it suits narrow stile aluminum entrances. Anything narrower than 4-3/4 inches needs a different device.
2) Do I need to order the ED3727 handed left or right?
No handing to specify. Every device in the 3700 Series is non-handed or reversible, so one unit covers a left or right hand door. That also makes it easier to stock a single part for a building with openings swinging both ways.
3) Can I use a surface vertical rod exit device on a pair of doors without a mullion?
Yes, and that is the main reason to choose one. A surface vertical rod device like the ED3727 latches into a top strike at the head and, with the bottom rod, into the threshold, so each leaf is secured on its own and no center mullion is needed. A rim device latches into the frame or an adjacent leaf and generally needs a removable mullion on a pair.
4) What does the Less Bottom Rod option on the ED3727 change?
Ordering Less Bottom Rod (LBR) deletes the lower rod and bottom latch, so the device latches only at the head. Crews specify it where the floor is uneven, where carpet or a floor closer gets in the way, or to keep the bottom of the door clear for cleaning. Both the standard configuration and the Less Bottom Rod configuration are offered in 630 Satin Stainless Steel and 695 Duro.
5) Does the ED3727 meet ANSI Grade 1 and ADA requirements for a school or government building?
It is ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1 certified, UL/cUL Listed for UL 305, meets the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act, and meets the guidelines of the Buy American Act. That last point matters on federally funded work. It is a commercial-duty device, not residential.
6) I need a fire-rated surface vertical rod device instead - what should I use?
The TownSteel ED3727 is not fire rated, so it cannot go on a labeled opening. For a fire-rated surface vertical rod, the Adams Rite 3100 Series is fire rated Grade 1 for 1-3/4 inch doors in a wide stile configuration, the Arrow S1150 is fire rated and listed for narrow or wide stile, and the Sargent 2727 is a Grade 1 fire rated reversible wide stile device.
7) What is the closest narrow stile Grade 1 surface vertical rod equivalent to the TownSteel ED3727?
The TownSteel ED3727 is a Grade 1 narrow stile surface vertical rod exit device with a minimum stile width of 4-3/4 inches and a non-handed, reversible chassis. Comparable narrow stile Grade 1 surface vertical rod devices include the Von Duprin 3327A-3ft, the Falcon 19-V-EO, and the Corbin Russwin ED4400, all of which are listed as narrow stile Grade 1 surface vertical rod devices for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Adams Rite 8200 Series is another narrow stile surface vertical rod option in the same non-fire-rated category.
8) Is the Sargent 3727 the same device as the TownSteel ED3727?
No. Despite the similar number, the Sargent 3727 is a 30 Series Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod exit device with a standard push bar, while the TownSteel ED3727 is a 3700 Series narrow stile device requiring a minimum 4-3/4 inch stile. The stile type is the deciding difference: a wide stile device will not fit the narrow aluminum stile the ED3727 is built for.
9) Can I use the Von Duprin 7527 in place of the TownSteel ED3727 on a wood door?
Not on a wood door. The TownSteel ED3727 is listed as wood door compatible, while the Von Duprin 7527-3ft, a Grade 1 narrow stile surface vertical rod for 1-3/4 inch doors, is listed as not wood door compatible, as is the Von Duprin 7827-3ft. If the opening is aluminum or hollow metal, either of those narrow stile Von Duprin devices remains a comparable option.
10) My door has a wide stile. Should I still buy the narrow stile ED3727?
No reason to. On a wide stile door a wide stile device gives you a longer push pad and more mounting surface. The Corbin Russwin ED5400, Falcon 20 Series, Von Duprin 2227 and Sargent 3727 are all Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod devices. Keep the ED3727 for stiles down to 4-3/4 inches where a wide stile chassis will not fit.
11) What is a lighter duty alternative to the TownSteel ED3727 for a low-traffic door?
The ED3727 is a Grade 1 commercial device. Where Grade 1 is not required, the Dexter ED2000 Series is a Grade 2 surface vertical rod panic device, and the Design Hardware 2000V is catalogued as a standard duty surface vertical rod device, as is the Orca OED56, an exit-only non-handed device supplied less bottom rod for 1-3/4 inch doors.
12) I want a less bottom rod device - does anything else offer that besides the TownSteel ED3727?
The TownSteel ED3727 is ordered with a less bottom rod option in either 630 satin stainless steel or 695 Duro finish. Among other surface vertical rod devices, the Orca Hardware OED56 Series 36 inch device is also supplied less bottom rod, non-handed, in an aluminum finish for 1-3/4 inch doors.
13) Which narrow stile alternatives to the ED3727 accept exterior lever or operator trim?
For narrow stile openings where you need outside trim, the Corbin Russwin ED4400 is a Grade 1 narrow stile surface vertical rod listed as exit only or accepting trim, and the Corbin Russwin ED7400 is a Grade 1 narrow stile crossbar device that accepts operator trim. Both are for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Arrow S1150 is supplied as a device only, less trim.
14) Is the Sargent 12-8710 an alternative to the TownSteel ED3727?
No, they serve different purposes. The Sargent 12-8710 is an 8700 Series wide stile fire rated device with a dummy function, meaning it does not latch or provide egress operation. The TownSteel ED3727 is a working Grade 1 narrow stile surface vertical rod exit device. Use the 12-8710 only on the inactive leaf where a matching push bar appearance is wanted.
15) What finishes does the ED3727 come in, and will 630 match my other stainless hardware?
Two finishes: 630 Satin Stainless Steel and 695 Duro (dark bronze tone). 630 is the standard satin stainless used across most commercial door hardware, so it lines up with satin stainless pulls, closers and trim already on a typical storefront or institutional opening.
16) Is the ED3727 built to hold up in a high-traffic entrance?
It is aimed at that. The latching mechanism is a high shock-resistant mechanical design, and internal components are electro-plated steel and corrosion-resistant alloy, which helps on exterior entrances exposed to weather. Combined with Grade 1 certification, it is specified for commercial traffic rather than light residential use.
17) What other non-handed or reversible surface vertical rod devices compare to the ED3727?
All TownSteel ED3727 devices use a non-handed, reversible design. Other reversible or non-handed surface vertical rod devices include the BEST Precision 5201 Series 36 inch reversible device, the Von Duprin 2227-3FT non-handed Grade 1 wide stile device, the Sargent 2727 reversible Grade 1 device, and the Orca OED56 non-handed device.
