Q: Thank you! So, just to confirm, the 8500 electrified trim would be able to latch/unlatch the concealed vertical rod that is already on the door and connected to the 1085 push bar? Thanks!! Drew C
A: That is not entirely correct because the 8500 electrified trim only keeps the lever rigid or unlocked and has no electrical control over the retraction of the last fault whatsoever.
Q: Our Jackson model 1085 does not always close when you exit. To close you must use a key or hit bar really hard. What do we need to do to correct this.
A: Because of this of course could be simple mechanical fatigue on the exit device internal components or a misalignment of the door within the frame itself or the hardware hanging the door. When you state that the device does not always close I wonder if you mean that it doesn't always latch and I would look for some sort of mechanical failure in side of the head case but if it's not closing I might suggest that you review the door closer as well. you'll have to start taking a closer look and determining exactly what base component is causing the breakdown of function - - naturally we can supply you with all of the replacement components for this device once you have determined the cause of operational failure.
Q: What kind of grease should be used on the moving parts of a Jackson 1085?
A: White lithium grease would be my suggestion for the moving parts of a Jackson 1085.
Q: the bottom rod sometimes will not retract. I have to adjust the rod in a higher position often to keep it opening when the panic bar is push in or it will not open at all it will remain in the plate
A: The vertical rod adjustment can be seen on page 16 of the manufacturers product catalog as seen here:

If you are unable to adjust the rods to a satisfactory level of operation you simply might need to consider replacing the vertical rod assembly all together known as the rod and case assembly which is part number 7 as seen here:
