Dexter Commercial ED1500REO3FT689 Rim Exit Device Grade 1

Product Description

The DEXTER COMMERCIAL ED1500REO3FT689 is a Grade 1 rim exit device designed for commercial door applications. It covers a 3-foot door width and is finished in aluminum. This is an exit-only device, meaning it allows egress from the secured side without providing entry. Grade 1 hardware meets the highest ANSI/BHMA performance rating for heavy-duty commercial use. Locksmiths, commercial door hardware installers, and general contractors working on light commercial or institutional projects are the primary installers. The unit ships as a single device and is sold per each.

This exit device is suited for single commercial doors in office buildings, retail spaces, schools, and similar light-to-medium commercial occupancies. The exit-only function makes it appropriate for stairwell doors, back-of-house exits, and other openings where controlled egress is required but exterior entry is not. The 3-foot crossbar length accommodates standard 36-inch commercial door panels. The aluminum finish blends with common commercial storefront and hollow metal door hardware.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed locksmith or commercial door hardware technician. Before installation, ensure the door is secured and no occupants are relying on the exit path. Rim exit devices mount to the face of the door and connect to a rim strike on the door frame; verify frame construction is compatible before beginning work. Follow all applicable building codes, including IBC egress requirements and NFPA 80 for fire-rated door assemblies where applicable.
