PDQ 6300R 36" Heavy-Duty Rim Non Rated Exit Device - Grade 1 Commercial Panic Bar

The PDQ 6300R is a premier, Grade 1 Heavy-Duty Rim Exit Device engineered for high-traffic commercial environments that demand uncompromising security and life-safety compliance. Designed for standard 36" (3-foot) door widths, this wide-stile panic bar is the definitive solution for high-occupancy buildings such as schools, hospitals, and government offices where the hardware must withstand constant, rigorous use.

Featuring a rugged, investment-cast chassis and a heavy-gauge stainless steel or steel rail, the 6300R is built to outperform the competition in durability tests. Its non-handed design simplifies the installation process for facility managers and contractors, ensuring a perfect fit on both left- and right-handed doors. This device is not just hardware; it is a long-term security solution designed to reduce maintenance overhead and ensure a safe, immediate path of egress in emergency situations.

ANSI/BHMA Function: Rim Exit Device (Panic Hardware)

The PDQ 6300R is classified as a Rim Exit Device, characterized by a surface-mounted latch that engages a strike plate on the door frame or a center mullion.

• Panic Egress Operation: A simple push on the touch bar at any point instantly retracts the latch bolt. This ensures that even in low-visibility or high-stress environments, occupants can exit the building effortlessly.
• Hex Key Dogging (Non-Fire Rated): This device includes a manual hex key dogging feature. By depressing the touch bar and turning the key, the latch remains retracted. This allows the door to function as a "push-pull" entrance during business hours, significantly extending the lifespan of the internal springs and latching components by reducing mechanical cycling.
• Security Deadlocking: The stainless steel pullman-style latch bolt features a deadlocking action. When the door is closed, the bolt cannot be depressed by prying tools or shims (loiding), providing a high-strength barrier against unauthorized entry from the exterior.

Technical Specifications

Engineered Solutions for High-Occupancy Facilities

The PDQ 6300 Series is designed to address the most demanding physical and regulatory challenges:

• Extreme Durability: Tested to exceed one million cycles, the 6300R is a "set-and-forget" solution for heavy-duty applications. The investment-cast chassis provides a rigid foundation that prevents the "rail sag" common in lower-tier panic bars.
• ADA & Accessibility Compliance: This device is engineered to meet all ADA and ICC/ANSI 117.1 requirements. It requires minimal force to operate, ensuring that the facility remains accessible and safe for all individuals.
• Vandal-Resistant Profile: The low-profile design and sloping end caps minimize the leverage points available to vandals. This reduces the risk of the device being kicked or pried off the door in high-abuse environments like public stadiums or transit hubs.
• Architectural Finish Options: Available in a range of architectural finishes, including 626 Satin Chrome and 630 Satin Stainless Steel, the device seamlessly integrates with high-end interior designs while offering superior corrosion resistance.
• Buy American Act (BAA) Compliance: Assembled in the USA, this hardware satisfies the strict procurement standards for federal, state, and municipal government projects.
