Hager 4701-FR Rim Exit Device – Grade 1 Fire Rated Panic Bar for 48" Doors
The Hager 4701-FR Rim Exit Device (4'0" Model) is a high-performance, fire-rated solution specifically engineered for wide-opening doors in light commercial environments. While the standard 4700 series excels on standard stile doors, the FR (Fire Rated) designation ensures this hardware meets the rigorous demands of life safety and fire code compliance. It is an essential component for wide corridors, protected stairwells, and main exit doors in office complexes, retail centers, and small businesses.
Certified as a BHMA Grade 1 device—the highest industry benchmark for security and cycle life—the 4701-FR provides robust protection for high-traffic areas. The hardware features a Stainless Steel Pullman-style latchbolt with a 5/8" throw. This automatic dead-latching mechanism is designed to keep wide doors securely latched during a fire event while permitting immediate, effortless egress for occupants.
Maximum Coverage for Fire-Rated Openings
Sized specifically for 48" (4'0") wide doors, this model provides maximum coverage for oversized entryways. The extended housing ensures that the push pad is accessible across a larger target area, meeting strict accessibility standards for larger facilities. Unlike standard panic-only models, this UL Listed Fire Rated unit is mandatory for any wide door assembly that must maintain a legal fire rating.
