QX801-B Mortise Vertical Exit Device
A mortise vertical exit device is a type of exit hardware commonly used on commercial doors to provide safe egress while maintaining security. Here's a breakdown of its key features and applications:
Mortise Body: Installed within a mortise pocket (a recess) in the door edge, making it more secure and aesthetically streamlined compared to surface-mounted devices.
Vertical Rods: Features vertical rods (top and/or bottom) that engage into the door frame’s header and sill, providing additional security by latching at multiple points.
Panic/Egress Function: Designed for quick exit during emergencies—pushing the crossbar or touchpad retracts all latches, allowing immediate door opening.
Heavy-Duty & High-Security Doors: Often used in schools, hospitals, office buildings, and industrial facilities.
Fire-Rated Doors: Many models are UL-listed for fire-rated openings.
Outward-Swinging Doors: Ideal for doors that swing outward (common in emergency exits).
Rim Exit Device with Mortise Lock: Combines a mortise lock with a surface-mounted exit device.
Full Mortise Vertical Exit Device: Entire mechanism is mortised into the door, including vertical rods.
Top & Bottom Rod Configurations:
Single Vertical Rod (Top Only): Locks at the top.
Double Vertical Rod (Top & Bottom): More secure, preventing door bowing or tampering.
Enhanced Security: Multiple latching points deter forced entry.
Durability: Heavy-duty construction for high-traffic areas.
Code Compliance: ANSI/BHMA standards for egress,UL10C
Requires precise mortise cutting for the exit device body and vertical rods.
Must be aligned properly with the frame’s strike plates.
Best installed by professionals due to complexity.
