The HES 8414-38136 is a life-safety certified mortise exit device engineered specifically for narrow stile aluminum and glass door applications. This device delivers dependable emergency egress compliance for high-traffic commercial and institutional environments while maintaining a minimal visible hardware footprint through internal mortise mounting.
Key Features
- Life-Safety Certified for emergency egress compliance and institutional/commercial code requirements
- Narrow Stile Design optimized for aluminum and glass door frames with reduced profile requirements
- 1-1/8 Inch Backset standard mortise cavity depth for compatibility with existing narrow stile door preparations
- Mortise-Mount Configuration with internal cavity installation that minimizes door surface disruption
- No Integrated Monitoring Switch for simplified installation and baseline egress functionality

Technical Highlights
The mortise form factor provides a clean aesthetic while housing all mechanical components internally within the door frame. The 1-1/8 inch backset ensures compatibility with standard narrow stile door preparations commonly found in commercial storefront and institutional settings. Without integrated door position monitoring or electrical sensor functions, this configuration operates as a standalone mechanical egress device, reducing installation complexity and maintenance requirements.
Applications
Ideal for retail storefronts, office buildings, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, and other commercial properties requiring life-safety compliant emergency exit solutions. The narrow stile design makes it particularly suited for modern glass and aluminum curtainwall systems where aesthetic integration and minimal hardware visibility are important design considerations.
