About this item
The PHI Precision FL2114-4914D is a fire rated rim exit device from the Apex 2000 series with the 4914D outside lever trim - lever always active, D lever design. PHI stands for Precision Hardware Inc, now part of the dormakaba/BEST Access Systems group. If you've been searching "phi precision exit device trims" looking for a fire rated Apex rim device with lever trim in a passage configuration - this is the product. The FL prefix is fire rated. Function 14 is always active on both sides. The 4914D is the outside trim piece with the D lever design, handed, lever always free.
Decoding the Model: FL2114 and 4914D
The model code reads this way. FL = fire exit hardware listing (as opposed to the non-fire 2114). 21 = Apex 2100 rim series. 14 = function 14, lever or knob always active - both the push bar from inside and the outside lever from the pull side are always free. No key required from either direction. 4914D = the 4914 series Apex/Olympian wide stile trim in D lever design, lever always active, handed.
Function 14 passage function in exit devices allows free and easy movement through the door without using a key. . It's specified for corridors, lobby doors, and openings where unrestricted two-way traffic is the operational requirement and the fire rating is still mandated by code. No one needs a key, the outside lever always retracts the latch, and the push bar always allows egress. The fire rating is carried by the device, not the function - so this hardware meets fire door requirements without restricting access in either direction.
4914D vs 4914A Trim: The Lever Letter Distinction
The 4914 series trim uses letter suffixes to identify the lever design. 4914A is the A lever - a specific Apex lever design. 4914D is the D lever - a different lever silhouette in the same wide stile escutcheon format. Both are always active (function 14 trim). If your project specifies D lever, you need the 4914D. If the spec calls for A lever, you need the 4914A. Both install on the same FL2114 device body and both carry the same passage function. Contact American Locksets to confirm which lever design matches your hardware schedule before ordering.
Apex 2000 Series: The Device Body
The FL2114 uses the same Apex 2000 rim device body as the rest of the FL2100 series. The device is wide stile, covers ANSI A115.2 (Type 161 door prep), A115.18 cylinder lock prep, and A115.1 (Type 86 mortise lock prep). That means it installs on any door that's been prepped to standard ANSI specifications without modification.
The FL2114 handles single doors and pairs of doors with mullion. Door thickness range is 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, with the standard device furnished for 1-3/4 inch thick, 36-inch wide openings. A 48-inch version is available for wider doors. The device cover, touchbar, channel, and end cap are made from strong materials like wrought brass, bronze, or stainless steel to ensure durability and long-lasting use. The chassis is investment cast steel with zinc dichromate treatment.
FL vs Non-Fire: What Changes
The FL prefix does something specific to the device configuration: fire rated exit devices cannot be dogged. Standard non-fire 2114 devices can have the push bar mechanically held in the depressed position so the door swings freely. Fire code requires fire doors to latch every time. The FL2114 ships without dogging capability. Every time the door closes, the latch engages.
