Heavy-Duty Rim Latching System

The Arrow FS1250G features a surface-mounted rim exit mechanism designed to secure commercial doors while allowing quick and convenient emergency egress.

Unlike a surface vertical rod exit device that engages latches at both the top and bottom, the FS1250G utilizes a single-point rim latch that engages a compatible strike at the door frame or approved mullion.

When the interior push bar is depressed, the latch retracts, allowing the door to open without requiring a key or additional unlocking operation.

Rim Latching Features:

• Single-point mechanical latching

• Surface-mounted rim configuration

• Stainless steel latchbolt

• 3/4" latchbolt throw

• S24 fire-rated surface strike

• Heavy-duty mechanical touch-bar operation

• No top or bottom vertical rods

• Reversible handing

• Designed for compatible fire-rated commercial openings

This configuration provides reliable security and emergency exit functionality while simplifying hardware installation compared with vertical rod devices.

Fire-Rated Performance & Code Compliance

The Arrow FS1250G is designed for commercial and institutional openings requiring listed fire exit hardware.

Fire-Rating Capabilities:

• Hollow Metal Doors: UL/cUL listed for up to 3-hour fire-rated door assemblies.

• Wood Doors: Manufacturer lists applications up to 1-1/2-hour fire-rated assemblies.

• ANSI/BHMA A156.3: Grade 1 commercial exit hardware.

• ANSI A117.1: Applicable accessibility requirements.

• UL/cUL: Listed fire exit hardware.

• NFPA 80: Fire Doors and Other Opening Protectives.

• NFPA 101: Life Safety Code.

Fire-rated exit hardware must maintain positive latching when the door closes.

The FS1250G fire-rated configuration must not be mechanically dogged to hold the latch retracted.

Important: The fire rating of the complete opening depends on the door, frame, hardware, strikes, and installation meeting the applicable listing and building code requirements.
