HES 8414-37136 Life-Safety Narrow Stile Mortise Exit Device
The HES 8414-37136 is a life-safety mortise exit device engineered for controlled egress on narrow stile aluminum and glass door applications. This model features a 1-1/8" backset configuration and ships without a monitoring switch, providing integrators with flexibility in monitoring system design and retrofit installations. The device delivers the code-compliant push-bar activation required by life-safety standards while maintaining full compatibility with modern architectural aluminum framing systems.
Key Features
- Narrow Stile Mortise Design: Optimized mounting profile for aluminum and glass door frames where space is restricted, reducing the footprint while maintaining full operational compliance
- 1-1/8" Backset: Precise mounting depth specification ensures proper engagement with industry-standard door frame pocket geometry
- No Monitoring Switch: Ships without integrated monitoring hardware, allowing integrators to add aftermarket monitoring solutions or deploy as standalone mechanical exit control
- Life-Safety Rated: Meets applicable codes for emergency egress, including push-to-exit and fail-safe operation under power loss conditions
- Aluminum and Glass Door Compatibility: Validated for frameless glass door systems and narrow-profile aluminum commercial door frames
- Mortise Mount Installation: Embedded cavity installation reduces external profile exposure and improves aesthetic integration
Technical Specifications
- Mount Type: Mortise
- Form Factor: Mortise Exit Device
- Backset: 1-1/8"
- Application: Aluminum and glass doors, narrow stile configurations
- Monitoring: Switch-ready design without integrated switch
Applications
Ideal for commercial office buildings, retail storefronts, healthcare facilities, and institutional buildings requiring code-compliant emergency egress on narrow stile door installations. Suitable for retrofit projects where space constraints and aesthetic considerations demand a compact mortise solution without pre-integrated monitoring complexity.
