Accentra 1800 Series Surface Vertical Rod Exit Devices

Key Features

• Surface vertical rod design with top and bottom latching for increased door security and stability.
• Grade 1 performance suitable for heavy‑duty commercial and institutional use on 84" (3' x 7') doors and similar heights.
• Wide stile pushpad that offers comfortable, intuitive egress and matches other Accentra 1800 Series hardware aesthetics.
• Exit‑only configurations that pair easily with a variety of trims on the exterior side when keyed access or lever operation is needed.
• Fire‑rated 1810F models supplied less dogging to maintain positive latching on labeled doors, and non‑fire‑rated 1810 models with hex key dogging for hold‑open function.
• Compatible with metal, wood, and composite doors, making the devices suitable for single doors or pairs without floor strikes on the active leaf.

Key Benefits

• Enhanced security and door control from two‑point latching at the top and bottom, reducing door rattle and improving resistance to forced entry.
• Code‑compliant life safety through single‑motion egress, helping facilities meet panic and fire exit hardware requirements.
• Flexible operation with fire‑rated (no dogging) and non‑fire‑rated (dogging) configurations that align with door labeling and usage patterns.
• Lower maintenance thanks to robust Grade 1 construction engineered for high‑cycle openings in demanding environments.
• Versatile integration with Accentra/Yale trims and cylinders, supporting common key systems and security standards across the building.

Applications

• Pairs of corridor doors in schools, universities, and healthcare facilities where two‑point latching and surface vertical rods are preferred.
• Double egress doors in high‑traffic corridors that require positive latching and smooth, reliable exit operation.
• Fire‑rated stair and cross‑corridor openings using the 1810F models to maintain fire and smoke separation.
