Cal-Royal 4400EO Rim Cross Bar Exit Panic Device

The Cal-Royal 4400EO is a Grade 2 rim cross bar exit panic device built for commercial, institutional, and light industrial openings. "EO" stands for Exit Only, which means it ships without outside trim for egress-only doors. The classic crossbar design delivers the same look and feel as premium Grade 1 panic bars at a fraction of the cost, which is why it's become the go-to choice for schools, churches, municipal buildings, warehouses, and property managers replacing old crossbar hardware. ANSI A156.3 Grade 2 certified, UL and ULC listed. 

What Is the Cal-Royal 4400EO

The 4400EO is the exit-only version of the Cal-Royal 4400 Series rim cross bar panic exit device. Rim mount means the latch and chassis are surface-mounted on the push side of the door rather than mortised into the door edge, so installation is faster and less invasive than mortise-style exit hardware. The crossbar (rather than a touch bar) is a traditional design that many spec-writers still prefer for institutional openings, and it's the same panic bar style that Von Duprin popularized with the 88 Series. For buyers who need the crossbar look and reliable performance without the Grade 1 price premium, the 4400 is the direct budget-friendly alternative.

The 4400EO comes in two sizes to match your door width. The 36" door variant ships with a 30" crossbar and fits openings up to 36" wide. The 48" door variant ships with a 42" crossbar and fits openings up to 48" wide, at a small upcharge of $3.19. Both sizes are in stock. Two finishes are available: US26D Satin Chrome (most common for institutional and commercial interiors) and Duro Dark Duranodic (for matching dark bronze anodized aluminum storefronts and modern architectural frames). Specify handling at checkout: either RHR (Right Hand Reverse) or LHR (Left Hand Reverse) depending on door swing and hinge side.

Compatible 4400 Series Trims and Accessories

Because the 4400EO is exit-only, it ships without outside trim. If the opening needs keyed outside access, add one of the matching 4400 Series trims: the ESC4400 entrance escutcheon lever trim for keyed entry with a lever handle, or the THP4400 entrance thumbpiece trim for a traditional thumbpiece pull. The ESC4430 passage escutcheon and THP4430 passage thumbpiece trims are also compatible for passage function where keyed access isn't needed. The included roller strike handles most standard frames, and the Allen-key dogging lets you hold the latch retracted during high-traffic periods like school dismissal or retail opening hours.
