Hager 4701 SVR Exit Device – Grade 1 Surface Vertical Rod for 4' x 8' Doors
The Hager 4701 SVR Exit Device (48" x 96") is a heavy-duty security solution designed for the largest non-rated commercial door openings. Engineered for doors up to 4 feet wide and 8 feet tall, this Surface Vertical Rod (SVR) system provides the structural stability and multi-point latching necessary for oversized entryways in retail hubs, schools, and healthcare facilities.
As a BHMA Certified Grade 1 device, the 4701 SVR is built for high-frequency use and long-term mechanical reliability. By securing the door at both the top strike and the floor, it effectively prevents the prying and warping often seen with wide or tall door leaves. The integrated Hex Key Dogging comes standard, allowing you to hold the latches retracted for effortless push-pull operation during peak business hours.
Performance & Multi-Point Security
The Hager 4701 SVR utilizes stainless steel Pullman-type latchbolts with an automatic dead-latching feature at the top, providing a secure seal every time the door closes. To ensure a rigid, permanent installation on 48-inch wide doors, this device includes thru bolts as standard hardware, creating a high-strength connection through the door that withstands heavy daily abuse.
Key Features
- Oversized Door Optimization: Sized specifically for 48" wide and 96" tall openings; the 48" bar is field-sizeable down to 36".
- Multi-Point Latching: Secures the door at the top and bottom for superior resistance against forced entry.
- Grade 1 Durability: BHMA certified to meet the most demanding commercial standards.
- Hex Key Dogging: Facilitates easy high-traffic passage by keeping the latches retracted when desired.
- Field Reversible: Non-handed design allows for installation on both left and right-hand swinging doors.
