The Liberty Exit Devices 40/44 Series Standard Rim Exit Device provides surface-mounted rim-latch panic egress for properly prepared commercial doors. Select the correct Medium Stile or Narrow Stile body, a 36-inch (3-foot) or 48-inch (4-foot) device length, and the available Dark Bronze, Aluminum or Stainless Steel finish. These are exit-only configurations; outside access trim, cylinders and keying are sold separately unless explicitly specified. This listing does not combine the separately cataloged fire-rated devices.

Product Features and Advantages

• Commercial rim exit hardware: Pushpad-operated surface rim latch, for appropriately reinforced doors and compatible strikes.
• Medium-stile body: Designed for suitable commercial hollow-metal, storefront and service doors with adequate mounting and latch alignment space.
• Narrow-stile body: A different physical configuration intended for appropriately sized narrow aluminum storefront profiles. Confirm the stile dimensions and mounting template.
• Two nominal lengths: 36-inch and 48-inch factory pushpad assemblies; select according to the actual opening and manufacturer's field trim instructions.
• Architectural finish selections: Dark Bronze, Aluminum and Stainless Steel per SKU.
• Exit-only function: Interior pushpad releases the rim latch, while exterior pulls, key-controlled trim and access-control components are separately selected.
• Maintenance-friendly commercial hardware: Intended for new installation or compatible replacement in retail, industrial, educational, healthcare and other institutional facilities.

Medium vs. Narrow Stile

Do not interchange stile configurations based on matching length or finish. The narrow-stile device is intended for storefront members with limited horizontal mounting space. The medium-stile device requires its own body and frame preparation. Both share a surface-mounted rim latch function but differ in compatible door construction and mounting dimensions. Compare the actual hardware template, strike type, door thickness and door stile width before purchasing.

40/44 Series Model Identification

Some original manufacturer/store SKUs use 40EO and one narrow-stile SKU uses 44EO-NS labeling. These identifiers are maintained exactly for warehouse and service lookup; confirm the complete manufacturer factory code when replacing an existing 40 or 44 Series device.

Ordering and Installation Checklist

1. Identify the opening, door swing, door construction, frame and available stile width.
2. Determine whether the specified rim device is the medium-stile or narrow-stile version using the manufacturer's actual template, not product photos alone.
3. Measure the door width and choose a 36-inch or 48-inch device after checking allowed cutting or adjustment.
4. Select Dark Bronze, Aluminum or Stainless Steel to coordinate with the hardware schedule and existing opening.
5. Check latch-to-strike alignment, door reinforcement, fasteners, any required mounting plates and clearances at the top and bottom of the opening.
6. Order compatible exterior trim, cylinder and keyed-access parts separately if the project requires exterior entry.
7. Install and verify free pushpad release, correct rim-latch engagement, permitted door operation and all required egress/accessibility provisions.
8. For a fire-rated door, use specifically approved and labeled fire-exit hardware instead of assuming this standard catalog configuration is suitable.

Shipping, Finish and Included Hardware

One selected Liberty 40/44 Series standard rim exit-device assembly per SKU; exact strike, fasteners and package contents should be verified with the manufacturer. Separate outside pull/lever trim, cylinders, keys, door and frame are not automatically included.

Shipping weights are unchanged: Medium-stile variants currently show 15 lb each; narrow-stile variants show 11 lb each. Prices, costs, inventory, product identifiers and fulfillment settings remain specific to the chosen SKU.
