Stanley QED100 Series: Heavy Duty Exit Devices

The Stanley QED100 Series is the flagship heavy-duty exit device line, engineered for institutional and commercial applications where long service life and abuse resistance are non-negotiable. Schools, universities, hospitals, and government buildings specify QED100 because it has been tested and certified to significantly exceed 1,000,000 cycles, well above the minimum Grade 1 requirement. The thru-bolt trim design locks through the door rather than relying on surface screw tension, which provides measurably higher resistance to forced entry and vandalism.

All QED100 devices are non-handed. Door thickness is 1-3/4" standard. The rim latch bolt is stainless steel with a 3/4" throw. Fasteners include wood screws, machine screws, and sex bolts. Head cap and end cap are zinc die-cast. Dogging is available in both hex key and cylinder dogging configurations. The QED100 is field sizeable to fit non-standard door widths without special ordering.

Stanley QED111 – Heavy Duty Rim Exit Device

The QED111 is the QED100 Series rim configuration: a single latch bolt at the door rail engages a rim strike on the door frame. Available in 36-inch and 48-inch bar lengths. Satin Chrome 626 finish is the standard commercial specification. The QED113 is the fire-rated rim variant, UL/cUL listed for 3-hour A-label fire door applications on 8' x 8' openings.

Stanley QED114 – Heavy Duty SVR Exit Device

The QED114 is the QED100 Series surface vertical rod (SVR) configuration. Two latch bolts engage strikes at both the top and bottom of the door frame, providing a two-point latching system on a single door without concealing the rods internally. The SVR is the correct specification for applications requiring two-point security on a door that isn't prepped for a CVR device. The QED114 is also available in a fire-rated configuration.

Stanley QED124 – Heavy Duty CVR Exit Device

The QED124 is the concealed vertical rod configuration in the QED100 line, with rods routed inside the door and out of view. CVR devices are specified when aesthetics require a clean door face without visible surface rods, or when the door type and authority having jurisdiction require internal rod routing.

Stanley QED300 Series: Standard Duty Exit Devices

Stanley QED311 – Standard Duty Rim Exit Device

The Stanley QED311 is the QED300 Series standard duty rim exit device, intended for light commercial applications including wood, steel, and aluminum doors in offices, retail, and mixed-use buildings. Available in 36-inch length. The 689 aluminum finish is standard; it's also available in satin chrome. Wide stile pushpad with hex dogging. This is the most accessible entry point in the Stanley exit device catalog for budget-conscious projects that still require a dormakaba/Stanley branded device.

The QED300 carries the same dormakaba-brand quality and construction expectations as the heavier series, positioned for applications where the QED100's institutional cycle life isn't required but brand and specification consistency with the rest of the hardware schedule still matters.

Stanley Exit Device Trims: QET Series

The QET Series exit device trims are designed specifically to coordinate with QED100, QED200, and QED300 devices. Trim offerings include dummy, passage, keyed escutcheon, and night latch configurations in the Sierra, Summit, and Slate styles. Pull plate offerings cover dummy, thumbpiece, night latch, and flat plate. QET trim is thru-bolted, matching the security standard of the QED100 device body.

Stanley QET130 Lever Escutcheon Exit Device Trim

The QET130-E-Passage is the lever escutcheon trim in passage function, lever always active. Compatible with QED100 and QED300 devices and specified when outside lever entry is required without a cylinder on the pull side.

Stanley Panic Hardware: Certifications and Compliance

Every Stanley QED100 device meets ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1, ANSI A117.1 Section 404.2.6 ADA compliance, California Administrative Code Title 24 for Sierra and Summit lever trims, and Florida Building Code Windstorm Label requirements. Fire-rated variants are UL/cUL listed for 3-hour A-label fire door applications. Hurricane-compliant configurations are available for Miami-Dade NOA requirements on rim and SVR devices, which is a specification requirement on Florida and coastal projects.

The QED100 warranty is industry-leading: lifetime mechanical warranty, 3-year finish warranty, and 1-year electrical components warranty on electrified configurations.
