Detex V40W71148 48" Weatherized Rim Exit Only Exit Device Black Finish

The V40W71148 is a 48-inch weatherized rim exit device that mounts on the interior surface of exterior doors exposed to weather conditions. This Detex Grade 1 panic hardware provides secure egress for single doors, and for double doors with a mullion. On a pair of doors, a rim device latches into the frame stop, so the opening needs a mullion between the leaves. Without one, a rim device on each leaf has nothing to latch into. Confirm the opening before ordering. The weatherized construction and black aluminum finish handle outdoor environments on loading docks, emergency exits, and perimeter doors.

The device features a stainless steel 3/4" deadlocking Pullman-type latchbolt and heavy-duty ribbed aluminum rail that withstands over 1400 pounds of static pull force. The patented mounting plate and strike locator system eliminates paper templates and reduces installation time. Field sizeable design fits most door widths with minimal prep work.
