Hager 4931S Surface Vertical Rod Shim Kit – 4700 Series Grade 1 Accessory

The Hager 4931S Surface Vertical Rod Shim Kit is a precision-engineered hardware solution designed for the proper installation of Hager 4700 Series SVR Exit Devices. This kit is a critical requirement for architectural doors where glass bead kits, glazing pockets, or decorative moldings protrude from the door face, preventing the exit device chassis from mounting flush.

Fabricated from high-strength Steel, these shims provide a stable, 1/8" (3mm) lift that ensures your Surface Vertical Rod hardware operates without binding or interference. By using the 4931S, installers can maintain the professional aesthetic of the entryway without the need for destructive modifications to the door's glass trim or molding.
