The DEXTER COMMERCIAL ED1000REO3FT613 is a Grade 1 rim exit device finished in oil rubbed bronze, designed for commercial door applications requiring reliable panic hardware. This exit-only unit features a 3-foot touchbar crossbar spanning the door face, allowing occupants to exit by applying pressure to the bar.

This rim exit device is suited for commercial and institutional buildings including offices, schools, retail spaces, and light industrial facilities. It is intended for single-door egress applications where exit-only function is required, meaning no entry hardware is included.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified commercial door hardware technician familiar with NFPA 101 Life Safety Code and applicable local building codes governing egress hardware. Before installation, ensure the door and frame are de-energized if any electric hardware is present and verify door thickness and backset compatibility. Rim exit devices require precise alignment of the rim latch strike to the frame; use a strike template and appropriate wood or metal screws as specified for the door material. Do not modify the crossbar assembly or finish on-site, as doing so may void product compliance.
