TownSteel EF1100-36-630 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Is the TownSteel EF1100 approved for a fire door, or is it panic only?
Fire rated. The EF1100 is UL/cUL listed for both panic hardware and fire hardware, certified to ANSI/UL305 and ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1. That means no dogging on the fire-labeled application, since a fire exit device has to latch every time the door closes.
2) Will a rim exit device like the EF1100 work on a pair of doors?
Yes, on wide stile single or double doors, with or without a mullion. A rim device latches into a strike on the frame or on a mullion, so on a pair without a mullion you need the appropriate strike arrangement at the meeting stile. If you want both leaves to latch top and bottom with no mullion at all, a vertical rod device is the other route, for example a Hager 4501 concealed vertical rod device.
3) Can the EF1100 replace another manufacturer's rim exit device without redoing the door prep?
It is built for it. TownSteel designed the 1000 Series for new or retrofit installation into other manufacturers' devices, which is the point of the series for property managers swapping out failed hardware on existing openings. Confirm your existing door is within the 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch thickness range and that the opening is no wider than 4 feet.
4) How do I get classroom or storeroom function out of the EF1100?
Function is set by the trim you pair with it. The device itself is field selectable, and you adapt it by choosing the type of lever trim you order. TownSteel offers a full complement of lever trim in a range of architectural finishes, so the outside function (night latch, classroom, passage) is a trim decision made at order time rather than a different device part number.
5) Which rim exit devices should I look at instead if my door is narrow stile rather than wide stile?
The TownSteel EF1100 is built for wide stile doors, so on an aluminum or narrow stile opening you want a narrow stile device instead. The Adams Rite 3700 Series 30 inch is fire rated, Grade 1 and narrow stile with starwheel interlocking. Non fire rated narrow stile options include the Corbin Russwin ED4200 Grade 1 36 inch, the Falcon 19-R 36 inch exit only, and the Marks USA M8800 36 inch exit only.
6) What is an equivalent fire rated 36 inch rim exit device to the TownSteel EF1100 from another manufacturer?
The TownSteel EF1100 is a fire rated, Grade 1, heavy duty 36 inch rim exit device for wide stile doors. Close fire rated peers at the same 36 inch size include the Marks USA M9900F, a fire rated 36 inch rim exit device in exit only function, and the Orca Hardware OED85, a 36 inch fire rated rim exit device also exit only. The Dexter ED1000-R-F-EO is another fire rated Grade 1 rim device. The EF1100 differs from those exit only peers in that its function is field selectable by the trim you pair with it.
7) Is the EF1100 rim exit device ADA compliant for a school or government building?
It meets the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act and also meets Buy American Act guidelines, which matters on federally funded work. The push bar is a touch-bar style with reduced projection, so there is no grasping or twisting to operate it, and the 36 inch device suits a 3 foot leaf.
8) What is the difference between the TownSteel EF1100 and a narrow stile rim device?
Stile width decides it. The EF1100 is a wide stile device, which needs the broader stile you get on a hollow metal or wide-rail aluminum door. On a narrow stile aluminum storefront leaf there is not enough face to mount it, and you would go to something like the Corbin Russwin ED4200 or the Adams Rite 8800 Series, both Grade 1 narrow stile rim devices.
9) What other fire rated wide stile rim exit devices could I use instead of the TownSteel EF1100?
Among fire rated rim devices, the Sargent 12-8810 is a Grade 1 wide stile fire rated device, and the Marks USA M9900F comes in 36 and 48 inch exit-only versions. The Orca OED85 36 inch and the Dexter ED1000 Grade 1 fire rated rim device are also fire rated options. If fire rating is not required and you only need panic, the Von Duprin 22 Series 36 inch wide stile pushpad device is a common Grade 1 choice.
10) Is the EF1100 heavy duty enough for a high school corridor or a bank entrance?
That is the application it was built for. It is a heavy duty, commercial-only, Grade 1 certified device intended for high-impact use in offices, schools, banks, assisted living and similar institutional buildings. If you are standardizing a facility, the same 1000 Series platform and trim finishes let you carry one device family across openings.
11) If the opening is not fire rated, what wide stile rim device can I use in place of the TownSteel EF1100?
On a non fire rated wide stile opening, the Von Duprin 22-3FT is a 36 inch non-handed Grade 1 pushpad rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin ED5200 is a 36 inch Grade 1 wide stile rim device that accepts trim. The BEST Precision 2101 is another 36 inch wide stile rim device. The TownSteel EF1100 remains the choice where the opening carries a fire label, since it is fire rated and UL/cUL listed to UL 305.
12) Can I use the SDC S6136 or PSB560 exit bar as a substitute for the TownSteel EF1100?
They are not interchangeable on a fire labeled opening. The SDC S6136 Spectra is an electrified architectural rim exit device for 4 inch wide stile doors 1-3/4 to 2 inch thick, and the SDC SureExit PSB560 is a 36 inch pressure sense bar for narrow or wide stile; neither is fire rated. The TownSteel EF1100 is a mechanical fire rated Grade 1 rim device. Use the SDC units only where the opening carries no fire label and you need the electrified exit function.
13) I need a crossbar style rim panic device instead of a push bar. What are my options next to the TownSteel EF1100?
The TownSteel EF1100 uses a push bar assembly with a reduced projection to minimize catch hazard. If the job calls for a crossbar look, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch wide stile crossbar rim exit device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the CRL Jackson 1095 is a 48 inch wide stile crossbar rim panic device in exit only function. Both are non fire rated, so keep the EF1100 on labeled openings.
14) What finishes does the TownSteel EF1100 come in?
Two: 630 satin stainless steel and 613 dark oxidized satin bronze. For a school or office corridor where the rest of the hardware is brushed stainless, 630 is the match. 613 is the dark bronze used to blend with bronze anodized aluminum storefront and dark lever trim.
15) For very high traffic doors, is there a heavier rim device than the TownSteel EF1100?
The TownSteel EF1100 is a heavy duty Grade 1 device built for high-impact applications such as schools, banks and assisted living facilities. If you want to step up the duty class on an unlabeled opening, the Detex 10 Advantex 36 inch wide stile device is rated extra heavy duty and Grade 1, and the Detex 40 Advantex is an extra heavy duty Grade 1 narrow stile device. The Detex V4003A is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device with night latch trim.
