Heavy-Duty Commercial Panic Hardware with Permanent End Cap, Stainless Steel Latchbolt & Precision Installation Design

The Arrow PEC910-36 Rim Exit Device is a heavy-duty, Grade 1 commercial panic device engineered to provide reliable emergency egress, secure door latching, and long-lasting performance in high-traffic commercial and institutional environments.

Part of Arrow's PEC910 Series, this commercial exit device features a patented Permanent End Cap design, a durable one-piece chassis cover, and an innovative slide-in mounting system designed to simplify installation while improving resistance to damage and tampering.

Unlike conventional exit devices with removable end caps, the Arrow PEC910 incorporates a permanent end cap into its construction, making it especially suitable for demanding applications where exit hardware is exposed to frequent use, accidental impact, or vandalism.

Designed for 31" to 36" wide commercial doors, this Grade 1 rim panic device features reversible handing, hex-key dogging, a stainless steel latchbolt, and compatibility with selected Arrow S1150 and S1250 Series exterior trim.

Available in Aluminum Painted (AL), Dark Bronze Painted (BRZ), and Satin Stainless Steel (32D) finishes, the PEC910-36 provides a dependable commercial exit solution with a professional architectural appearance.

Patented Permanent End Cap Technology

One of the most important features of the Arrow PEC910 Series is its patented Permanent End Cap design.

Traditional commercial exit devices often use removable end caps that may become damaged, loosen, or be removed during heavy use.

The Arrow PEC910 utilizes a permanent end cap integrated into the device's construction.

Permanent End Cap Benefits:

• Reduces the risk of loose or missing end caps

• Helps resist damage in high-traffic environments

• Provides a seamless, finished appearance

• Reduces routine maintenance associated with removable covers

• Designed for demanding commercial and institutional use

• Helps protect the integrity of the exit device assembly

This design is especially beneficial in schools, public buildings, warehouses, and facilities where exit devices are subject to frequent operation or accidental impact.

Permanent End Cap Patent: U.S. Patent No. 9,021,745 B2.

Precision Installation & Slide-In Mounting

The Arrow PEC910 Series incorporates a specialized mounting design intended to make commercial exit device installation more efficient.

The system includes an integrated end cap, mounting bracket features, and slotted mounting holes to simplify positioning.

Installation Features:

• Precision installation design

• Built-in permanent end cap

• Slide-in mounting configuration

• Slotted chassis mounting holes

• Rail mounting bracket

• Wood and machine mounting screws

• Optional dedicated installation template

The slotted mounting design allows installers to position the device during installation while reducing the need to support the entire assembly continuously.

The compatible Arrow ES9TMPLT-36 installation template is available separately.

Heavy-Duty Rim Latching System

The Arrow PEC910-36 utilizes a single-point rim latching mechanism designed for secure commercial door operation.

Unlike surface vertical rod exit devices that latch at both the top and bottom of the door, the PEC910 features a rim latch that engages a compatible strike mounted at the door frame or approved mullion.

When the interior push bar is depressed, the latch retracts, allowing the door to open for emergency egress.

Rim Latching Features:

• Single-point mechanical latching

• Stainless steel latchbolt

• Compatible ES90 surface-mounted strike

• Mechanical push-bar operation

• No vertical rods required

• Reversible handing

• Compatible commercial hollow metal and wood door applications

The rim configuration provides a practical balance of dependable security, convenient emergency exit operation, and straightforward maintenance.

Hex-Key Dogging Function

The Arrow PEC910-36 features a hex-key dogging mechanism.

Dogging allows authorized personnel to hold the exit device push bar in the depressed position, keeping the latch retracted.

This allows the door to operate as a push/pull opening during designated periods.

Typical Applications:

• Commercial entrances during business hours

• Retail entry and exit doors

• Industrial personnel entrances

• High-traffic commercial passageways

• Facilities requiring temporary push/pull operation

Important: The PEC910-36 is a panic-rated device, not a fire-rated exit device. Its mechanical dogging feature must not be used on an opening requiring fire exit hardware.

Heavy-Duty Commercial Construction

The Arrow PEC910 Series is engineered with durable materials designed to withstand repeated commercial use.

Construction Details:

• Chassis: Stamped steel

• Chassis Cover: One-piece cast zinc

• End Cap: Patented permanent integrated design

• Rail Assembly: Powder-coated steel

• Latchbolt: Stainless steel

• Mounting Hardware: Wood and machine screws

• Handing: Reversible

• Dogging: Hex-key hold-down

• Strike: ES90

The all-metal construction makes the PEC910 particularly useful for commercial environments where durability and reduced maintenance are priorities.
