PDQ 4200RA 48" Non Rated Rim Exit Device - Commercial Grade 4-Foot Panic Bar
The PDQ 4200RA is a precision-engineered Rim Exit Device specifically designed to provide safe egress for extra-wide 48" (4-foot) commercial door openings. Designed for medium-duty applications, this extended-rail panic bar offers a reliable and cost-effective solution for large-scale exits in schools, convention centers, and retail warehouses that require a durable hardware setup without the overhead of a heavy-duty industrial price point.
Built with a focus on longevity, the 4200RA features a corrosion-resistant plated steel chassis and a heavy-gauge steel rail that spans the necessary width of oversized doors. Its non-handed design ensures seamless installation on either left- or right-hand swinging doors, providing a flexible "drop-in" solution for wide-stile openings that must meet stringent building and life-safety codes.
ANSI/BHMA Function: Rim Exit Device (Panic Hardware)
The PDQ 4200RA functions as a high-visibility life-safety device, ensuring that even under panic conditions, an oversized door remains easy to operate.
- Oversized Door Egress: The extended touch bar is specifically calibrated for 4-foot wide doors, ensuring that pressure applied at any point along the rail will immediately retract the latch for a safe exit.
- Hex Key Dogging: As a non-fire-rated device, it features a manual "dogging" mechanism. By using a standard hex key, the latch can be locked in the retracted position. This converts the door into a high-volume "push/pull" entrance during peak hours, significantly reducing mechanical wear.
- Rim Mount Security: The stainless steel latch bolt projects into a surface-mounted strike on the frame. This "Rim" configuration is the most reliable and easiest to maintain for single doors or pairs of doors with a mullion.
