Frequently Asked Questions
Is FESP0043SIL a complete panic exit device?
No. FESP0043SIL is the 1 point main latch mechanism cover only. It does not include the complete FLUID exit device or the main latch assembly.
Does this suit 2 point or 3 point covers?
No. This model is the 1 point cover. Use the correct confirmed cover item code for 2 point or 3 point configurations.
Can this be used when converting from 3 point to 1 point?
Yes, manufacturer information confirms the Fluid main latch cover suits 1 point rim devices where replacement is required or where a 3 point device is being converted to a 1 point configuration.
Additional Information
- This part is most relevant to locksmiths, installers and maintenance teams repairing or reconfiguring compatible Lockwood FLUID exit devices.
- A common ordering mistake is selecting the wrong cover for the device point configuration. Check whether the installed FLUID device is 1 point, 2 point or 3 point before ordering.
- If the main latch mechanism is worn or damaged, replacing the cover alone may not resolve operational problems.
- Where the door is part of a regulated escape route or fire rated opening, replacement should maintain the original approved hardware configuration.
- For older or heavily used exit hardware, inspect the latch assembly, strikes, rods, covers and fixings before completing the repair.
