Professional Features & Benefits

• 48" Wide Stile Device: Designed for wide stile doors at 48" product size with a center case measuring 8" x 2-3/4" x 2-3/8", providing a robust and architecturally refined profile for institutional applications.
• Door Thickness & Fastener Compatibility: Accommodates doors 1-3/4" thick; fasteners included for wood or metal doors 1-3/4" and 2-1/4" thick, ensuring versatile installation across common door constructions.
• Patented Smart Latch Bolt Design: The XP patented 2-piece latch bolt changes shape when subjected to external forces, enabling the exit door to withstand external attack. The design provides greater, longer-lasting latch bolt-to-strike contact that resists the twisting motion of a weakened frame, keeping the opening strong and secure. Latch throw is 3/4".
• Fire-Rated & Multi-Standard Certified: Certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3 2014 Grade 1, UL listed under ANSI/UL 10C (fire-rated), ANSI/UL 305, CAN/ULC-S104 (fire-rated), and CAN/ULC-S132, meeting the highest industry standards for fire exit hardware compliance.
• Field-Selectable Functions: Product function is EO/DT/NL (field selectable); for TP, K, or L functions, simply remove the NL drive screw from the device, allowing on-site configuration without additional parts.
• Non-Handed Design: The rim device is non-handed (except when the -2 Double Cylinder option is used), simplifying inventory management and installation across varied door configurations.
• Retrofit & Upgrade Ready: Compatible with a wide range of retrofit options including CDSI/HDSI security dogging indicators, QEL electronic latch retraction, electronic switches (RX request-to-exit, LX latch bolt monitoring), AX accessible device (ADA 5 lb. force certified), and CX CHEXIT delayed egress meeting NFPA and IBC requirements.
