Dexter Commercial ED1000VEO3FT7FTDH626 Exit Device Grade 1

Product Description

The DEXTER COMMERCIAL ED1000VEO3FT7FTDH626 is a Grade 1 surface vertical rod exit device designed for 3-foot by 7-foot door applications with an exit-only function. It ships with a satin chrome finish and is built to commercial-grade standards for high-traffic doorways. The vertical rod mechanism engages top and bottom latches simultaneously, making it suitable for pairs of doors or single doors requiring multi-point latching. Finished dimensions of the packaged unit measure 35 inches in length, 10 inches in width, and 4.5 inches in height. At 17 pounds, this is a substantial hardware assembly intended for professional installation on commercial or institutional grade doors.

This exit device is intended for commercial building applications where code-compliant emergency egress is required. Typical installation scenarios include office buildings, schools, warehouses, retail spaces, and institutional facilities. The exit-only configuration means the device allows egress from the secured side without a key or lever operation from the exterior, making it well suited for stairwell doors, storage rooms, and back-of-house exits. Licensed locksmiths, door hardware specialists, and commercial contractors are the primary installers of this type of hardware.
