No. The TS5000 is not rated for wood door mounting, and it is not fire rated either, so it should not go on a fire door assembly of any material. It is a commercial hollow metal and aluminum application. If the opening is wood, look at the Adams Rite 3700 Series or 8700 Series rim devices, both of which we list as wood door compatible, with the 3700 also carrying a fire rating.

The 36 inch TS5000 device is sized for openings 30 to 36 inches wide. Anything wider than 36 inches, up to 48 inches, takes the 48 inch device instead. Order by the actual door leaf width, not the frame opening, and on a pair of doors each leaf gets its own device sized to that leaf.

A rim device latches into a strike on the frame or on a mullion, so on a pair of doors you need a removable mullion between the leaves for the latch to catch. The TS5000 is applied to single doors and to double doors with a mullion. If you cannot use a mullion because the opening has to stay clear for equipment, a rim device is the wrong choice and you want a vertical rod device instead, such as the Hager 4501 Series concealed vertical rod device for wide stile doors.

The TS5000 ships with a strike for a 5/8 inch stop and includes a shim so the same strike works on a 1/2 inch stop frame. The latch bolt throws 3/4 inch, is stainless steel, and deadlocks when the door closes. Plan on installing the supplied strike rather than reusing what is on the frame, since rim device strikes are specific to the device.

The TS5000 is a heavy duty ANSI/BHMA certified Grade 2 rim device, which suits moderate traffic commercial openings: side and rear service doors, stair discharge, tenant spaces, storage. Grade 1 is the higher cycle and strength tier and is what most institutional specs and high traffic main entrances call for. If the drawing says Grade 1 wide stile rim, the Corbin Russwin ED5200 or the Von Duprin 22 Series 36 inch device meets that instead.

No, they do different jobs. The TS5000 is a UL listed Grade 2 panic rim device with a 3/4 inch throw deadlocking stainless steel latch bolt, so the device itself latches the door. The SDC MSB550 Series 36 inch mechanical switch bar releases an electromagnetic lock rather than throwing its own latch, and the SDC SureExit PSB560 Series 36 inch pressure sense bar works the same way with tri-failsafe technology. Both SDC bars suit narrow or wide stile doors. If the opening is held by a maglock, those bars are the right part; if the door needs a latch, the rim device is.

The TS5000 is a wide stile device and needs a minimum stile width of 4-1/2 inches, so a narrow stile storefront needs a narrow stile device instead. Narrow stile rim options include the Adams Rite 8700 Series and 8800 Series 30 inch interlocking devices, the Corbin Russwin ED4200 Grade 1 36 inch narrow stile device, the Falcon 19-R Series 36 inch Grade 1 exit only, the Marks USA M8800 36 inch exit only, and the BEST 2401 Series non-handed exit only.

The TS5000 is not fire rated, so a fire door needs a labeled device. Fire rated rim options include the Marks USA M9900F in 36 inch and the M9900F in 48 inch, both exit only with a panic protector end cap; the Orca Hardware OED85 Series 36 inch fire rated rim device, exit only; the Arrow FS1250 32 inch fire rated rim device; the Dexter ED1000 Series Grade 1 fire rated rim device; and, for a narrow stile aluminum opening, the Adams Rite 3700 Series 30 inch fire rated narrow stile rim device.

The TS5000 is certified Grade 2, so a Grade 1 spec needs a different device. Wide stile Grade 1 rim devices at 36 inches include the Von Duprin 22-3FT non-handed pushpad device, the Corbin Russwin ED2200 exit only, the Corbin Russwin ED5200 which is exit only and accepts trim, the Detex 10 Advantex Series extra heavy duty device, and the Imperial USA ED-501. The Dexter ED1000 Series 3FT is a Grade 1 rim device in the same 3 foot length.

The TownSteel TS5000 covers a door thickness of 1-3/8 inch to 2 inch, which takes in thinner leaves as well as standard 1-3/4 inch. Several peers start at 1-3/4 inch and go no thinner: the Von Duprin 22-3FT, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 and ED5200, the Arrow ED910 and 4800 Series, and the CRL Jackson 1295 Series are all listed at 1-3/4 inch. The SDC S6136 covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch, and the Adams Rite 8800 Series and DORMA 9300A cover 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch.

The TS5000 series is built in a 36 inch length for 30 to 36 inch wide openings and a 48 inch length for 36 to 48 inch openings, so the longer TS5000 stays in the same series. Among peers at that width, the Cal-Royal 5500 is a 48 inch Grade 2 heavy duty push bar device and the Cal-Royal A9820 Series is a 48 inch heavy duty exit only device. Grade 1 options at 48 inches include the Corbin Russwin ED3200 crossbar device, the CRL Jackson 1095 Series crossbar, the DORMA 9300 Series, and the Sargent 2828 and 3828 reversible devices for 48 inch minimum door width.

No. The TS5000 is a UL listed panic rim device with a 3/4 inch throw deadlocking latch bolt, so it actually secures and releases the door. The Detex Advantex 00 Series is a super heavy duty dummy exit device with a wide stile design, Grade 1, meaning it matches the look of an exit device on an adjacent leaf without latching. The Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM is likewise listed in a dummy function, fire rated wide stile with RX and MELR. Those are for matching appearance or signaling, not for an opening that needs a working panic latch.

The TS5000 is a mechanical panic rim device with Allen wrench dogging and no electrical function. Electrified rim options include the SDC S6136 Spectra S6000 Series 36 inch electrified architectural rim device with a 4 inch wide stile, for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors; the Dormakaba E2103 36 inch electrified rim device with 4908A trim in a classroom function; and the Securitron EMB electromechanical exit bar, listed for a 2-1/4 inch door thickness. The Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM is a fire rated wide stile device with RX and MELR for request to exit and electric latch retraction.

Dogging on the TS5000 is Allen wrench type. You depress the push bar and turn the hex key to hold the latch retracted, which leaves the door free swinging for the day, then release it to relatch at close. Hex dogging is only permitted on non-fire-rated openings, which this device is. If your opening is a fire door, dogging is not allowed and you need a fire rated device such as the Marks USA M9900F or the Orca OED85 Series.

No separate dead latch bolt on the TS5000. Security comes from the single 3/4 inch stainless latch bolt, which deadlocks itself when the door closes so it cannot be shimmed or loided back. If the opening needs a true deadbolt for after-hours, that has to be a separate lock on the door, not part of this device.

Yes, the TS5000 is UL listed as exit hardware and is ANSI/BHMA certified Grade 2. Note it is not fire rated, so it can go on an egress opening that is not part of a fire door assembly, but not on a labeled fire door.

The TS5000 is a mechanical rim device with hex key dogging and no electrified option in its build, so it is not the part for card reader release or request-to-exit signalling. For electrified wide stile openings, the SDC S6136 Spectra is an electrified architectural rim device with a 4 inch wide stile and a 1-3/4 to 2 inch door thickness range, and the SDC PSB560 pressure sense bar suits narrow or wide stile doors on a maglock.

They mount as rim devices on the same kind of opening but the actuator is different. The TS5000 is a Grade 2 panic rim device with Allen wrench dogging. Crossbar rim devices include the CRL Jackson 1095 Series 48 inch crossbar device, exit only and wide stile, and the Corbin Russwin ED3200, a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim device, wide stile, panic device only, for 1-3/4 inch doors. Both of those are 48 inch devices, so they suit a wider leaf than a 36 inch device covers, and the crossbar changes the look and the touch point for the user.

Devices listed as accepting trim or with a keyed outside function include the Corbin Russwin ED5200, a Grade 1 36 inch wide stile device listed as exit only and accepts trim, and the Corbin Russwin ED4200, the Grade 1 36 inch narrow stile equivalent, also accepts trim. For a keyed pull function the Sargent 8504 is a night latch function narrow design rim device, Grade 1 narrow stile. The Detex V4003A/03AN is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device offered with night latch trim, and the Dormakaba E2103 with 4908A trim is a 36 inch electrified rim device in a classroom function.

The TS5000 is a heavy duty Grade 2 commercial device. For heavier service, the Detex 10 Advantex Series 36 inch wide stile device and the Detex 40 Advantex Series narrow stile device are both listed as extra heavy duty and Grade 1, the 10 Series for wide stile and the 40 Series for narrow stile. The DORMA 9300 Series 48 inch wide stile device is Grade 1 heavy duty for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Stanley Security QED200 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim device with hex key dogging like the TS5000 uses.

Non-handed rim devices include the Von Duprin 22-3FT, a 36 inch wide stile pushpad device, Grade 1, described as non-handed; the CRL Jackson 1295 Series non-handed push pad rim panic device, wide stile and exit only for 1-3/4 inch doors; the BEST Precision 5101 Series, a non-handed universal design rim device; and the BEST 2401 Series narrow stile device, exit only and non-handed. The Sargent 2828 and 3828 are reversible Grade 1 rim devices for 48 inch doors.

The TS5000 uses Allen wrench type dogging. The Design Hardware 2000R is a 33 inch standard duty wide stile rim device with hex key dogging, and the Design Hardware 1000R is the 33 inch heavy duty version with hex key dogging. The Stanley Security QED200 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim device with hex key dogging for narrow stile openings. All of them are dogged with a wrench rather than a cylinder, so the same practice of holding the latch retracted during business hours applies.

They line up on the basics: the BEST Precision 2101 Series is a 36 inch wide stile rim exit device, not fire rated and not wood door compatible, which matches the TS5000 on length, stile type, fire rating and door material. The TS5000 is certified ANSI/BHMA Grade 2 with a 3/4 inch throw deadlocking stainless steel latch bolt and a 4-1/2 inch minimum stile width. The Arrow ED910 36 inch rim device is another wide match at the same length, listed for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Orca OED55 36 inch device is an exit only rim device in the same size.

Two finishes: 630 satin stainless steel and AL aluminum painted. Property managers standardizing a building usually go 630 to match stainless pulls and hinges on main and service doors, while AL is the common pick alongside clear anodized aluminum storefront and hollow metal painted to match.
