The CRL Jackson 1095 Series Active Body and Arm Assembly is the primary mechanical engine for the industry-standard Jackson 1095 Rim Panic Exit Device. This assembly houses the critical latching mechanism and the articulating arm that translates push-bar movement into latch retraction. Engineered for high-frequency commercial use, this assembly is a premier security solution for 1-3/4" (44.5 mm) doors, including narrow, medium, and wide stile aluminum storefronts, as well as hollow metal and wood applications.

Designed for precision performance, these assemblies are handing-specific to ensure perfect mechanical timing: 30988 for Right Hand Reverse (RHR) and 30989 for Left Hand Reverse (LHR). When a storefront exit device becomes difficult to operate or fails to latch securely, the active body is often the component requiring a hardware replacement solution. By installing a genuine Jackson OEM Active Body and Arm, facility managers can restore the "smooth as silk" operation that Jackson hardware is famous for, ensuring consistent perimeter security and effortless emergency egress.

Exit Device Mechanical Function & ANSI Summary

The Active Body and Arm Assembly is the "brain" of the rim panic bar, responsible for the critical interface between the user and the door strike.

• Latch Actuation: The arm assembly connects the crossbar to the internal cam, which retracts the rim latch. This mechanical advantage is a vital accessibility solution, requiring minimal force to operate.
• Positive Deadlocking: When the door is closed, the active body ensures the latch is deadlocked against the strike, providing a robust intrusion prevention solution.
• ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 Standards: This assembly is built to exceed ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1 requirements, meaning it is tested to withstand over a million cycles of operation in demanding environments like schools, hospitals, and retail centers.
• Fail-Safe Egress: Regardless of exterior locking status, the internal mechanics of the 1095 Series Active Body are designed to provide immediate, single-motion exit at all times, satisfying international Life Safety Codes.

Technical Specifications

Engineered Solutions for High-Traffic Entrances

The CRL Jackson 30988 and 30989 active bodies offer targeted mechanical solutions for common storefront door failures:

• Eliminate Latch "Hang-up": Over time, internal springs can fatigue, causing the latch to drag. This assembly is the permanent solution for restoring the snappy, responsive latch retraction required for high-speed automated door closers.
• Restore Crossbar Alignment: If your panic bar looks crooked or sags, the pivot point in the arm assembly is likely worn. Replacing the active body and arm is a structural solution that levels the device and improves the building's aesthetic.
• Vandal-Resistant Perimeter Security: The 1095 Series is designed to resist tampering from the exterior. Replacing a compromised active body ensures the deadlocking feature is fully engaged, providing an enhanced retail security solution.
• Reduced Maintenance Downtime: Because this is a direct replacement sub-assembly, it allows for "plug-and-play" repair without having to remove the entire exit device from the door, significantly lowering labor costs.
• Code Compliance Assurance: Fire marshals require that exit devices operate with a specific maximum amount of force. Installing a new Active Body and Arm Assembly ensures your doors remain within ADA and Life Safety compliance limits.
