Press Release Body = St. Louis, MO-Hager Companies recently introduced a new line of
exit devices designed and engineered to offer superior quality and outstanding
value, in both commercial Grade 1 and standard-duty models.

Hager's new line of 4500 Series exit devices is ANSI/BHMA certified Grade 1 and
backed with an industry-exclusive lifetime warranty. Hager's new 4700 Series
standard-duty exit devices offer exceptional reliability at a value price.

Both new series of exit devices are available in a variety of finishes (polished
brass, dark bronze, satin stainless steel and aluminum) and feature quality
components, such as die cast caps on the 4500 Series and die cast head covers on all
models, including the 4700 Series. These new exit devices also meet UL
specifications for panic devices, and offer models that are fire rated for up to
three hours.

Hager exit devices include thru-bolts with every model, slotted strikes to help
speed installation, and a non-handed design for added versatility. What's more,
escutcheon trim with the locking mechanism built inside helps reduce door
preparation time by requiring fewer holes in the door. Four functions are available:
dummy, blank, entry and night latch.

By providing exceptional quality at a competitive price-as well as an
industry-leading lifetime product warranty-Hager's new line of exit devices can help
building owners and contractors reduce costs, both at construction and over the life
of the building.

Founded in 1849, St. Louis-based Hager Companies continues its more than 150-year
history of providing quality and innovation in the door hardware industry. For
