Dexter Commercial ED1000VEO3FT7FTDH613 Exit Device Grade 1

Product Description

The DEXTER COMMERCIAL ED1000VEO3FT7FTDH613 is a Grade 1 surface vertical rod exit device designed for commercial door applications in a 3-foot by 7-foot door configuration. It operates as an exit-only unit, meaning the device allows egress from the secure side without providing entry. The oil rubbed bronze finish suits institutional and commercial interiors where a darker hardware tone is specified. At 11.9 pounds, this is a full-weight commercial-grade device built for high-traffic openings. Licensed locksmiths, commercial door hardware installers, and general contractors working on commercial tenant improvements are the primary installers.

This exit device is suited for commercial and institutional buildings where panic hardware is required by code — including schools, office buildings, retail spaces, and light industrial facilities. The surface vertical rod configuration is commonly specified on pairs of doors or single doors where a concealed vertical rod is not practical or where the door construction does not accommodate mortise prep. The exit-only function restricts outside entry while maintaining free egress at all times, a common requirement for stairwells, storage rooms, and secondary exits.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed locksmith or qualified commercial door hardware installer in accordance with applicable building codes, including IBC panic hardware provisions. Verify door and frame dimensions and confirm exit-only function meets the authority having jurisdiction requirements before installation. Do not install on a door designated as a primary means of egress without confirming code compliance for exit-only devices in that location. Ensure all door closer hardware is compatible with the exit device before finalizing the installation.
