Exit Devices
**************************************************************************
NOTE: Due to the difficulty in securing exit
devices against unauthorized use, they should only
be specified where required by NFPA 101. Use single
exit doors with locksets in preference to pairs of
doors. When pairs are required, specify removable
mullions and rim type devices. Vertical rod devices
require use of an overlapping astragal and door
coordinator for security and fire protection. They
should be used only where mullions are unfeasible.
**************************************************************************
BHMA A156.3, Grade 1. Provide adjustable strikes for rim type and vertical
rod devices. Provide open back strikes for pairs of doors with mortise and
vertical rod devices. [Touch bars [may] [shall] be provided in lieu of

by 57 mm 7 by 2 1/4 inches.]

and top and bottom bolts, both leaves active) for pairs of doors, unless
otherwise specified. [Provide terminals for connection to remote
indicating panel.] [Provide outside control key.]
2.3.7
Cylinders and Cores
**************************************************************************
NOTE: When an extension of an existing system is
required, the manufacturer's name and type of locks
should be indicated.
Arrow, Best and Falcon make interchangeable cores
which are fully compatible with each other. Corbin,
Russwin, Sargent, Schlage, and Yale make locksets
which can receive the interchangeable cores made by
Arrow, Best, or Falcon. Corbin, Russwin, Sargent,
Schlage, and Yale each make their own
interchangeable core system which are not compatible
with any other manufacturer's system. Specify the
system which will best meet the activity's needs
without restricting competition.
For projects at Lajes Field, Azores, delete first
paragraph; use second paragraph.
For projects in Bermuda, delete first paragraph; use
third paragraph.
