Hager 4501 RIM FR Exit Device - Fire Rated - 48" Door Width
The Hager 4501 RIM FR is a heavy-duty, fire-rated panic bar specifically designed for oversized 48" fire doors. Engineered for maximum life safety in high-traffic environments like hospitals, schools, and government buildings, this Grade 1 device provides a secure and reliable egress solution. As a Fire-Rated (FR) model, it is built to maintain the integrity of a fire barrier, remaining latched even under intense heat to help prevent the spread of smoke and flames.
Superior Fire Protection and Life Safety
The Hager 4501-FR is UL Listed for Fire Exit Hardware and suitable for use on doors rated for up to 3 hours. Because fire code requires doors to remain "positive-latching" to act as a fire barrier, this device does not include mechanical dogging. It features a surface-mounted, stainless steel Pullman-type latchbolt with a 3/4" throw, ensuring a consistent and secure engagement with the strike every time the door closes.
Electrified Options & Prefixes
To meet modern security and access control requirements, the Hager 4501-FR can be configured with various electrified prefixes. These options allow for seamless integration with fire alarm systems and central monitoring:

- RX2 - Dual Request to Exit Switches: Provides two separate monitoring signals for added system redundancy.

- DE - Delayed Egress: Delays door opening for 15-30 seconds to prevent unauthorized exit or theft while remaining code-compliant through fire alarm integration.
