Q: Can the Kawneer 1686 Concealed Rod Exit Device and the 1786 Rim Exit Device installed for exterior condtions. 100% exposeure to the elements. My location is Northern Virginia, outside Washington DC. Do you have any recommendations for an alternate product? Any idea how long the device will last prior to replacement.
A: I can certainly be installed in an exterior application however you have material in there that's made of steel so like anything exposed to the elements, it will eventually fail.
I see hardware installed an exterior devices all the time and they doesn't seem to be a failure issue as in immediate and obvious - could be 6 months could be 6 years - I suggest keep a device on hand ready to install when operation becomes intermittent. The issue if the device fails and emergency egress cannot be provided at that opening.
In this sort of scenario you may not have any options because your doors already prepped for this precise hardware. Again - I would simply keep in stock a replacement device ready to go when it just continues proper operation as a result of the 100% exposure to the elements.
Q: Can the 1786 rim exit device replace a 1686 concealed rod exit device on a door?
A: I would say you would certainly be able to remove the concealed vertical rod exit device and install a rim device in its place however the function holes in mounting holes and all of the other additional holes required for the concealed vertical rod exit device, of course, will possibly be requiring attention and I would imagine that they installed a concealed vertical rod in a pair of doors and to install a rim device on a pair of doors without adding a mullion would not be possible - please tell me more about your application.
Q: can you add a outside lever handle to a 1786 Rim Panic
