TownSteel ED3727-3696-630 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I have to order the TownSteel ED3727 handed, left or right?
No handing to specify. Every device in the TownSteel 3700 Series is non-handed or reversible, so one device covers either swing. That matters for property managers stocking a spare for a building with doors swinging both ways.
2) What does the less bottom rod option on the ED3727 change?
Ordering the ED3727 less bottom rod (LBR) drops the lower rod and floor strike, so the device latches only at the head. Buyers pick it where a threshold strike would be a trip hazard, where the floor is uneven, or where carpet and debris would foul the bottom latch. Both the LBR and the full top-and-bottom-rod configuration are offered, in 630 satin stainless and 695 Duro finishes, on the 36 x 96 inch size.
3) Will the ED3727 secure a pair of doors without a center mullion?
Yes. A surface vertical rod device latches into the head frame and the floor rather than a strike on the jamb, so a pair of ED3727 devices handles a double door opening with no removable mullion. If you order less bottom rod, latching is at the head only and the inactive leaf needs an auxiliary bottom latch or flush bolt to hold it.
4) Does the TownSteel ED3727 meet ADA and Buy American requirements for a government or school job?
Both are stated for the ED3727: it meets the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the guidelines of the Buy American Act. It is also ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1 certified and UL/cUL Listed to UL 305 for panic hardware, which is the listing a non-fire exit device carries.
5) My aluminum storefront door has a wide stile - is the TownSteel ED3727 still the right device?
No. The ED3727 is built for narrow stile doors and needs only 4-3/4 inch of stile, so on a wide stile door you would normally specify a wide stile device instead. Wide stile surface vertical rod options include the Von Duprin 2227-3FT, a Grade 1 non-handed 36 inch device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Falcon 20 Series 36 inch Grade 1 exit-only device, the Corbin Russwin ED5400 Grade 1 wide stile device at 36 inches, and the BEST Precision 2201 Series 36 inch wide stile device.
6) I need a fire rated vertical rod exit device instead of the TownSteel ED3727 - what should I order?
The ED3727 is not fire rated, so it cannot go on a labeled opening. For a fire rated surface vertical rod device, the Adams Rite 3100 Series 30 inch is fire rated, Grade 1, for 1-3/4 inch doors in a wide stile configuration, and the Arrow S1150 30 inch is a fire rated exit-only device offered for narrow or wide stile doors on 1-3/4 inch thickness. The Sargent 2727 is a Grade 1 fire rated reversible wide stile surface vertical rod device. Fire rated vertical rod devices normally require a top latch, so plan the strike prep accordingly.
7) What is a direct narrow stile equivalent to the TownSteel ED3727 surface vertical rod exit device for a 36 inch door?
The TownSteel ED3727 is a Grade 1 narrow stile surface vertical rod exit device with a 4-3/4 inch minimum stile width, non-fire-rated. Close narrow stile counterparts for a 36 inch opening include the Corbin Russwin ED4400, a Grade 1 narrow stile surface vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Falcon 19-V-EO, a Grade 1 narrow stile exit-only device at 36 inches, and the Von Duprin 3327A-3ft, a Grade 1 narrow stile surface vertical rod device for 36 inch doors on 1-3/4 inch thickness. All are non-fire-rated like the ED3727. The Adams Rite 8200 Series 30 inch narrow stile life-safety device is the same configuration in a shorter length.
8) Is the Sargent 3727 the same device as the TownSteel ED3727?
No, despite the similar model number. The Sargent 3727 is a Grade 1 surface vertical rod exit device with a standard push bar in a wide stile configuration. The TownSteel ED3727 is a narrow stile device with a 4-3/4 inch minimum stile requirement and is non-handed or reversible. If you are matching an existing Sargent 3727 on a wide stile door, stay with a wide stile device rather than substituting the narrow stile TownSteel.
9) Is a surface vertical rod device the right choice, or should I use a rim device with a mullion?
On a pair of doors, a surface vertical rod device like the ED3727 keeps the opening clear, since it latches into the head and floor instead of a center mullion. A rim device plus removable mullion gives a simpler, more protected latch but puts a post in the middle of the opening, which is a problem where carts or gurneys pass. On a single door in a frame, a rim device is usually the simpler install; the vertical rod earns its place on pairs and on storefront where you need top and bottom latching.
10) What is a Grade 1 vertical rod exit device alternative to the TownSteel ED3727 for a heavy traffic opening?
The ED3727 is ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1 certified and UL/cUL listed to UL 305. Other Grade 1 surface vertical rod devices to weigh against it include the Dexter ED1000 Series and ED1500 Series, both Grade 1 surface vertical rod devices, the Design Hardware 1000V heavy duty vertical rod device in 33 inch, and the Falcon 25-V-EO, a Grade 1 exit-only wide stile device at 3 feet for 1-3/4 inch doors. Match stile type to the door before you choose.
11) I need to hang a vertical rod device on a wood door - will the TownSteel ED3727 work, and what are the alternatives?
Yes, the ED3727 is listed as wood door compatible. If you are cross-shopping, be aware that the Von Duprin 7527-3ft and 7827-3ft narrow stile Grade 1 surface vertical rod devices are not wood door compatible, so they are not a drop-in for a wood door opening. Narrow stile alternatives to consider on their own specs include the Corbin Russwin ED4400 and the Falcon 24-V-EO, both Grade 1 narrow stile devices for 1-3/4 inch doors.
12) I want a crossbar style device instead of the push pad on the TownSteel ED3727 - what narrow stile option is there?
The ED3727 is a narrow stile surface vertical rod device. For a crossbar look on a narrow stile door, the Corbin Russwin ED7400 is a Grade 1 narrow stile crossbar surface vertical rod device for 36 inch, 1-3/4 inch thick doors that accepts operator trim. Both are non-fire-rated, so check the label status of your opening before choosing either.
13) I need a matching inactive leaf device to pair with a vertical rod exit device - is the TownSteel ED3727 the right choice?
No. The ED3727 is a functioning Grade 1 surface vertical rod exit device, not a dummy. For an inactive leaf where you want the same push bar appearance without latching, the Sargent 12-8710 is a dummy-function surface vertical rod device in a wide stile design, Grade 1 and fire rated. Pair it with a matching active device from the same family so the pair reads the same across the opening.
14) What finishes does the TownSteel ED3727 come in, and will 630 match my other door hardware?
Two finishes: 630 satin stainless steel and 695 Duro (a dark bronze tone). 630 is the standard commercial satin stainless finish, so it lines up with the satin stainless closers, pulls, and locks already on most commercial openings.
15) How durable is the TownSteel ED3727 for a high traffic entrance?
It is a commercial Grade 1 device, the highest ANSI/BHMA durability class for exit hardware, with a high shock-resistant latching mechanism and internal components of electro-plated steel and corrosion-resistant alloy. That combination is aimed at heavy use entrances and exterior openings where moisture is a factor.
