Simplifying Rim Exit Device Installation with the 2945 Universal Rim Strike

When a door opening calls for a rim exit device, the right strike can make installation faster and specification easier. Hager Companies' 2945 Universal Rim Strike provides a straightforward, flexible solution for a wide range of commercial applications.

Designed with a universal approach, the 2945 helps reduce the need for multiple strike configurations, making it easier to specify, stock, and install reliable door hardware. Its flexibility helps simplify hardware packages across different openings and project requirements without sacrificing dependable performance.

One Strike. More Flexibility.

The 2945 Universal Rim Strike is designed to work across a variety of rim exit device applications, giving distributors, integrators, specifiers, and installers greater flexibility when selecting hardware.

Instead of sorting through multiple strike options, the 2945 provides a practical solution that helps streamline the process from specification through installation. For distributors, reducing the number of components needed for common applications can simplify inventory management and make it easier to identify the right hardware for each opening.

For installers, that same simplicity can mean less time spent sorting through options and greater confidence that the specified strike is ready for the application.

By bringing flexibility and simplicity together in one practical solution, the 2945 Universal Rim Strike helps streamline the hardware package and make rim exit device installation more straightforward.

Designed for the Jobsite

Every component matters when installation time is at a premium. The 2945 is engineered with the installer in mind, providing a straightforward approach to securing rim exit device applications.

A universal strike can help:

• Reduce SKU complexity
• Simplify hardware specification
• Minimize ordering errors
• Make installation more predictable
• Support a broader range of applications

The result is a hardware solution that helps keep projects moving without adding unnecessary complexity.

Each 2945 includes stainless steel spacers to accommodate a variety of installation conditions, providing added flexibility when working across different openings and project requirements.

The 2945 is also designed to overcome up to 15 lbs. of stack pressure, helping the strike maintain reliable operation when building air pressure pushes against the door. This added capability can help reduce callbacks and give installers greater confidence in the installation.

From commercial facilities and education to healthcare, data centers, and other high-traffic environments, exit hardware needs to deliver consistent performance day after day.

The 2945 Universal Rim Strike is part of Hager's broader approach to commercial door hardware: provide dependable products that are practical to specify, easy to work with, and built to support the demands of real-world openings.
