Hager 4501 RIM FR Exit Device - Fire Rated - 36" Door Width
The Hager 4501 RIM FR is an extra heavy-duty, fire-rated panic bar engineered for maximum life safety and rigorous fire code compliance. Designed specifically for 36" wide fire doors, this Grade 1 exit device is the premier choice for stairwell towers, mechanical rooms, and corridors in hospitals, schools, and high-occupancy commercial buildings. As a Fire-Rated (FR) device, it is strictly engineered to remain latched under the intense heat of a fire, providing a critical barrier against the spread of smoke and flames.
Life Safety Excellence and Fire Code Compliance
The Hager 4501-FR series is UL Listed for Fire Exit Hardware and is suitable for use on doors rated up to 3 hours. Unlike non-rated panic hardware, fire-rated devices do not feature mechanical dogging (the ability to hold the latch retracted), as fire doors must remain positive-latching to function as a fire barrier. The device utilizes a surface-mounted, stainless steel Pullman-type latchbolt that ensures a secure, dead-latching engagement with the strike every time the door closes.
Electrified Options & Prefixes
The Hager 4501-FR can be customized with a variety of electrified prefixes to integrate into your facility's centralized access control and fire alarm monitoring systems:
- RX - Request to Exit Switch: Monitors the internal switch to signal authorized egress to the control system.
- RX2 - Dual Request to Exit Switches: Provides two separate monitoring signals for system redundancy.
- LM - Latchbolt Monitoring: Notifies the security system whenever the latch is retracted or extended.
- RXLM - Request to Exit and Latchbolt Monitoring: A combined solution for monitoring both occupant exit and latch status.
- AI - Authorized Ingress: Specifically monitors the exterior trim to track authorized entry attempts.
- RXAI - Authorized Ingress with Key Monitoring: High-security monitoring that tracks both ingress and physical key cylinder usage.
- DE - Delayed Egress: Delays door opening for 15-30 seconds to prevent unauthorized exiting or theft (requires fire alarm integration).
- OBDE - Onboard Delayed Egress: A self-contained, all-in-one delayed egress system for fire-rated openings.
- MLR - Motorized Latch Retraction: Allows for remote electric unlocking; frequently used with automatic door operators.
- MLRX - Motorized Latch Retraction w/ Request to Exit: Latch retraction combined with egress monitoring.
- MLRXLM - MLR w/ Request to Exit & Latchbolt Monitoring: The complete suite for high-level security and automation.
