Hager 4701 SVR FR Exit Device – Grade 1 Fire Rated SVR for 8' Doors
The Hager 4701 SVR FR Exit Device (36" x 96") is a high-performance, fire-rated security solution designed for oversized commercial door openings. While standard devices often fall short on taller doors, this Surface Vertical Rod (SVR) system is factory-configured for 8-foot heights, providing the necessary rod length and stability for high-ceiling corridors, stairwells, and main exits.
As a BHMA Certified Grade 1 device, the 4701 SVR FR is built to the highest mechanical standards for durability. It is UL/cUL Listed for up to 3 hours on fire-labeled doors, serving as a critical life-safety component that maintains the integrity of a fire barrier. This model is Less Dogging (LD) as required by fire codes, ensuring the door is always latched and ready to protect against the spread of smoke and flames.
Secure Multi-Point Latching for Tall Doors
Taller door leaves are susceptible to warping and prying; the Hager 4701 SVR FR mitigates this by providing secure latching at both the top strike and the floor. The stainless steel Pullman-style latchbolts provide a smooth, automatic dead-latching action upon closing. For maximum structural integrity, this device ships standard with thru bolts, providing a through-the-door connection that resists heavy use and abuse.
