TownSteel TS5000-48-AL – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What door width does the 48 inch TownSteel TS5000 rim exit device cover?
The 48 inch TS5000 device fits openings from 36 to 48 inches wide. If your door leaf is between 30 and 36 inches, the 36 inch version of the TS5000 is the one to order instead. Sizing off the actual leaf width, not the frame, is what keeps the pushpad from overhanging the stile.
2) Will the TownSteel TS5000 rim device work on a pair of doors?
On a pair, yes, but only with a mullion. The TS5000 is a rim device that latches into a strike on the frame or mullion, so a double door opening needs a removable or fixed mullion for each leaf's latch to catch. The application spec calls out single and double doors with a mullion. For a pair with no mullion, you want a vertical rod device instead, such as the Hager 4501 concealed vertical rod unit.
3) Can I use the TownSteel TS5000 on a fire rated door?
No. The TS5000 is UL listed as exit hardware but it is not fire rated, so it cannot go on a labeled fire door assembly. For a fire rated opening, look at a listed device such as the Marks USA M9900F, which comes in both 36 and 48 inch sizes, or the Dexter ED1000 fire rated rim device.
4) What door thickness does the TS5000 panic device mount to?
1-3/8 to 2 inches. That range covers standard 1-3/4 inch commercial hollow metal doors and the thinner 1-3/8 inch leaves still found on older interior openings, which is wider than a lot of rim devices that are built for 1-3/4 inch only.
5) Will the TownSteel TS5000 latch into my existing strike?
The TS5000 uses a 3/4 inch throw deadlocking stainless steel latchbolt and ships with a strike for a 5/8 inch stop, plus a shim to adapt it to a 1/2 inch stop. Measure your frame stop before you install: if it is anything other than 5/8 or 1/2 inch, plan on using the supplied strike rather than trying to reuse the old one.
6) The TS5000 needs a 4-1/2 inch stile - what rim device works on a narrow stile aluminum door?
The TS5000 is a wide stile device with a 4-1/2 inch minimum stile width. For narrow stile aluminum storefront, the Adams Rite 8800 Series is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device, and the Adams Rite 8700 Series is a Grade 1 narrow stile device that also lists wood door compatibility. Other narrow stile options include the Falcon 1590EO at 42 inch, the Corbin Russwin ED4200 at 36 inch, and the BEST 2401 Series, which is non-handed exit only.
7) What is the closest Grade 2 alternative to the TownSteel TS5000 48 inch rim exit device?
The Cal-Royal 5500 is a 48 inch wide rim exit device with a push bar, rated Grade 2 and listed as heavy duty, which puts it on the same grade and length footing as the TS5000. Cal-Royal also lists the A9820 as a 48 inch rim exit device, exit only, Grade 2 heavy duty. The TS5000 itself is a wide stile Grade 2 heavy duty rim device with Allen wrench dogging and a 3/4 inch deadlocking stainless steel latch bolt.
8) I need a 48 inch rim exit device on a fire rated opening - what should I use instead of the TS5000?
The TS5000 is not fire rated, so it is not the right device for a fire door. The Marks USA M9900F is a 48 inch fire rated rim panic device, exit only with a panic protector end cap. In shorter lengths, the Marks USA M9900F-36 covers 36 inch openings, the Arrow FS1250 is a fire rated 32 inch rim device, and Dexter offers the ED1000 Series in a Grade 1 fire rated rim version.
9) My spec calls for Grade 1 rim hardware - which devices meet that where the TS5000 does not?
The TS5000 is certified ANSI/BHMA Grade 2. If the drawing requires Grade 1, wide stile options include the Von Duprin 22-3FT 36 inch non-handed pushpad device, the Corbin Russwin ED5200 at 36 inch, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 48 inch crossbar device, and the DORMA 9300 Series 48 inch exit only device, all listed Grade 1. Dexter's ED1000 Series is Grade 1 in both 3FT and 4FT lengths.
10) The TS5000 fits 1-3/8 to 2 inch doors - which comparable devices do not cover thin doors?
The TS5000 covers a 1-3/8 to 2 inch door thickness range, which takes in thinner leaves than many competing rim devices. The Von Duprin 22, Corbin Russwin ED3200, Arrow ED910, and CRL Jackson 1295 are each listed at 1-3/4 inch. The Adams Rite 8800 Series and DORMA 9300 Series both start at 1-3/4 inch and run to 2-1/4 inch, so they suit thicker doors rather than thinner ones.
11) Can I hold the TownSteel TS5000 in a push-open state during business hours?
Yes. The TS5000 has Allen wrench dogging, so a hex key depresses and holds the pushbar, leaving the latch retracted for free push-pull traffic during open hours. That is mechanical dogging, which is one of the reasons the device is not fire rated. Keep a hex key with the door; there is no keyed cylinder dogging on this one.
12) Is Grade 2 good enough for the TS5000 on a high traffic exit?
The TS5000 is ANSI/BHMA certified Grade 2 and built as a heavy duty commercial device. That suits retail back doors, stairwells, multi-family and general commercial egress. For school main entries, hospitals, or any opening running constant cycles where a spec calls out Grade 1, step up to a Grade 1 wide stile unit like the Von Duprin 22 Series or the Corbin Russwin ED5200.
13) Is the TS5000 a push bar or a crossbar device, and what is the crossbar equivalent at 48 inches?
The TS5000 is a touch bar style panic rim device at 48 inches for 36 to 48 inch wide openings. If the opening calls for a crossbar look instead, the CRL Jackson 1095 Series is a 48 inch crossbar rim panic device, wide stile and exit only, and the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim device. CRL Jackson also offers the 1095P with a paddle rather than a crossbar.
14) I need access control on the exit device - is the TS5000 the wrong choice?
The TS5000 is a mechanical Grade 2 rim panic device with Allen wrench dogging and no electrical function. For electrified openings, the SDC S6136 is a 36 inch electrified architectural rim exit device on a 4 inch wide stile, the SDC MSB550 is a 36 inch mechanical switch bar with electromagnetic lock release, and the Dormakaba E2103 pairs a 36 inch electrified rim device with 4908A classroom trim. The Securitron EMB is an electromechanical exit bar.
15) What 36 inch device matches the TS5000 if my opening is only 34 inches wide?
The TS5000 comes in a 36 inch size for 30 to 36 inch wide openings, so that is the direct in-series answer. Comparable 36 inch wide stile devices include the Cal-Royal 5000, a Grade 2 heavy duty touch bar device, the BEST Precision 2101 Series, the Imperial USA ED-501 Grade 1 rim panic device, and the Detex 10 Advantex Series, an extra heavy duty Grade 1 wide stile device.
16) Does the TS5000 accept lever trim, or do I need a different device for a classroom opening?
The TS5000 is a Grade 2 rim panic device with a 3/4 inch deadlocking latch bolt and Allen wrench dogging. If the opening needs keyed outside trim, the Corbin Russwin ED5200 and ED4200 are both Grade 1 rim devices listed as exit only or accepting trim, the Sargent 8504 is a narrow design rim device in night latch function, and the Detex V4003A/03AN is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device offered with night latch trim.
17) For a high traffic entrance, is there a heavier duty option than the TS5000?
The TS5000 is listed as heavy duty at Grade 2. For higher abuse openings, Detex lists the 10 Advantex Series 36 inch wide stile device and the 40 Advantex narrow stile device as extra heavy duty Grade 1, and the Detex 00 Series is a super heavy duty wide stile dummy device for the inactive leaf. Dormakaba QED200 and the Stanley QED200 Series are Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile devices.
18) Is the SDC PSB560 pressure sense bar a substitute for the TS5000 panic device?
They are not the same class of hardware. The TS5000 is a UL listed Grade 2 mechanical panic rim device with a 3/4 inch deadlocking latch bolt that does the latching itself. The SDC SureExit PSB560 is a 36 inch pressure sense bar with tri-failsafe technology, and the SDC MSB550 is a mechanical switch bar that releases an electromagnetic lock - both are switch bars that signal a separate locking device rather than rim exit devices with their own latch.
19) What finishes does the TownSteel TS5000 48 inch rim device come in?
Two: 630 satin stainless steel and AL aluminum painted. 630 is the usual pick when the door already has satin stainless pulls and hinges; AL is the common match for clear anodized aluminum storefront and back-of-house openings.
20) Does the TownSteel TS5000 have a deadlatch bolt in addition to the main latch?
No secondary dead latch bolt on the TS5000. Security comes from the main latchbolt itself, which is a deadlocking 3/4 inch throw stainless bolt, so once it is seated in the strike the auxiliary plunger keeps it from being carded back. If your spec requires a separate deadbolt for after-hours security, that has to be handled with a separate lock on the opening.
