Rim Devices for Surface-Mounted Exit Hardware

Rim devices mount directly to the face of the door rather than into it, making them one of the simplest exit device options to install and one of the most common in commercial buildings.

Rim Exit Devices for Standard Egress Doors

Our rim exit devices work on single doors with standard metal or wood frames and meet code requirements for most commercial egress applications. Straightforward hardware that gets the job done.

Rim Panic Devices When Fast Exit Matters

In emergency situations, rim panic devices release with a single push across the bar. No complex mechanism, no points of failure, just reliable egress every time the door needs to open fast.

Where Rim Devices Make the Most Sense

Rim devices are a practical choice for doors that do not require a concealed or vertical rod configuration. They are easier to install, easier to service and easier to replace than more complex exit hardware.
