TownSteel ED3727-4884-630 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the TownSteel ED3727 fit an aluminum storefront door with a narrow stile?
Yes, within limits. The ED3727 is a narrow stile device and needs a minimum stile width of 4-3/4 inches (120mm). If the stile on your storefront leaf measures less than that, the device case will not land cleanly and you need a different narrow stile device. Anything 4-3/4 inches or wider takes it.
2) Do I need to order the ED3727 handed, left or right?
No handing to specify. Every device in the TownSteel 3700 Series is non-handed or reversible, so one unit covers a left or right hand swing. Useful when you are stocking spares for a building with doors swinging both ways.
3) What is the Less Bottom Rod option on the ED3727 and when should I choose it?
Less bottom rod (LBR) deletes the lower rod and bottom latch, so the device latches only at the head. Choose it where the floor is a problem: carpet, uneven thresholds, floor drains, or openings where the bottom strike gets kicked and damaged. Keep the full bottom rod when you want two-point latching at head and threshold for better security on a pair of doors. The ED3727 is offered both ways, in 630 Satin Stainless Steel and 695 Duro.
4) Can a vertical rod exit device secure a pair of doors without a center mullion?
Yes, and that is the main reason to pick one. A surface vertical rod device like the ED3727 latches at the head and at the threshold rather than into a center strike, so a pair of doors can be secured with no removable mullion in the opening. If you would rather use a rim device, you have to add a mullion, which means storing it and setting it every time you need the full clear width.
5) Does the TownSteel ED3727 meet ADA and Buy American requirements for a government or school job?
Both are covered. The ED3727 meets the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the guidelines of the Buy American Act, and it carries ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1 certification with a UL/cUL Listing to UL 305. That combination is what most public-sector and institutional specs ask for on exit hardware, though it is not fire rated.
6) I need a fire rated vertical rod exit device instead - what should I use?
The TownSteel ED3727 is not fire rated, so it cannot go on a labeled opening. Fire rated surface vertical rod alternatives include the Adams Rite 3100 Series, a Grade 1 wide stile device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Arrow S1150, a fire rated exit only device listed for narrow or wide stile, and the Sargent 2727, a Grade 1 reversible fire rated exit only device with wide stile design. If the opening has a narrow aluminum stile, the Arrow S1150 is the one of those three that covers narrow stile.
7) My door has a wide stile - is the TownSteel ED3727 still the right device?
The ED3727 is built for narrow stile openings with a minimum stile width of 4-3/4 inches. On a wide stile door, wide stile surface vertical rod devices include the Von Duprin 2227-3FT, a Grade 1 non-handed 36 inch device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin ED5400 Grade 1 wide stile device that accepts trim, the Falcon 20 Series Grade 1 wide stile exit only device, and the Sargent 3727, a Grade 1 wide stile exit only device with standard push bar.
8) Can I put the TownSteel ED3727 on a wood door, and which alternatives cannot?
The ED3727 is listed as wood door compatible. Among narrow stile Grade 1 peers, the Von Duprin 7527-3ft and the Von Duprin 7827-3ft are both listed as not wood door compatible, so if the opening is a wood door those two are not the substitution to make. The Corbin Russwin ED4400 and Von Duprin 3327A-3ft are the narrow stile Grade 1 options to look at for a 36 inch door.
9) The Sargent 12-8710 looks like the same type of device - is it a substitute for the ED3727?
No. The Sargent 12-8710 is a fire rated wide stile surface vertical rod device whose product function is dummy, meaning it does not latch or operate as an active exit device. The TownSteel ED3727 is an active Grade 1 narrow stile surface vertical rod exit device certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3 and UL 305 listed. For an active Sargent device, the 2727 and 3727 are both Grade 1 exit only.
10) Will the ED3727 work on a wood door or only hollow metal and aluminum?
Wood doors are fine. The ED3727 is listed as wood door compatible, provided the lock stile still gives you the 4-3/4 inch minimum. That separates it from some narrow stile devices, for example the Von Duprin 7527 and 7827, which are not wood door compatible.
11) What are the narrow stile alternatives to the TownSteel ED3727 from other brands?
Comparable Grade 1 narrow stile surface vertical rod devices include the Corbin Russwin ED4400 and the crossbar-style ED7400, the Falcon 19-V-EO, the Von Duprin 3327A, and the Adams Rite 8200 Series. All are non fire rated except where noted per model. If your stile is wide enough, wide stile Grade 1 options like the Von Duprin 2227, Falcon 20, or Corbin Russwin ED5400 are the other direction to look.
12) Is the ED3727 heavy duty enough for a high traffic entrance?
It is built for commercial traffic. The ED3727 is ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1, the highest durability class for exit devices, with a high shock-resistant latching mechanism and internal components in electro-plated steel and corrosion-resistant alloy, which matters on an exterior door taking weather. If you only need a lighter duty opening, a Grade 2 vertical rod device such as the Dexter ED2000 Series is the step down.
13) Which finish of the ED3727 should I pick to match existing stainless door hardware?
Go with 630, satin stainless steel, which matches the brushed stainless trim and pulls used on most storefront and institutional openings. The other choice is 695 Duro, a dark finish for openings with bronze or dark anodized frames. Both are available with or without the bottom rod.
