Fire-Rated Rim Exit Device Operation

The Arrow FS1200-F-LBZ uses a rim-style exit mechanism designed to provide secure latching along the lock edge of a commercial door.

Unlike a surface vertical rod exit device, which uses upper and lower latches, a rim exit device operates through a single latch assembly that engages a compatible strike.

When pressure is applied to the interior push bar, the latch releases, allowing the door to swing open for emergency exit.

Rim Exit Advantages:

• Single-point latching configuration

• Convenient interior push-bar operation

• Surface-mounted exit hardware design

• No top or bottom vertical rods

• Compatible strike-based door latching

• Suitable for appropriately prepared commercial openings

• Practical configuration for compatible replacement projects

Fire-Rated Door Performance

The Arrow FS1200-F-LBZ is identified as a fire-rated exit device intended for commercial fire door applications.

Fire exit hardware is designed to allow occupants to exit while maintaining positive latching when the door closes.

Important Fire Door Considerations:

• The door and frame must carry the required fire-rating labels.

• The exit device and strike must be approved for the opening.

• Mechanical dogging must not prevent latching of a fire-rated door.

• All hardware must be installed according to the applicable product listing.

• The complete fire door assembly must meet local building and fire code requirements.

The precise fire-rating duration and installation limitations for this FS1200 configuration should be verified against the applicable manufacturer's documentation.

Light Bronze Finish – LBZ

The LBZ Light Bronze finish offers a distinctive architectural appearance for commercial door installations where a traditional bronze-tone finish is preferred.

This finish can complement:

• Light bronze aluminum storefront frames

• Bronze-finished commercial doors

• Matching bronze door closers

• Architectural pull handles and trim

• Commercial hardware with bronze finishes

• Institutional and professional office interiors

The finish is particularly useful for facilities maintaining consistent architectural hardware appearances throughout a building.
