Frequently Asked Questions
Is FESP0053SIL a complete panic exit device?
No. FESP0053SIL is the secondary mechanism cover only. It does not include the complete FLUID exit device or the internal secondary mechanism.
Does this include the secondary mechanism?
No. This item is the cover only. The related secondary mechanism is a separate service part.
Can I order this without checking the installed device?
It should not be selected blindly. Confirm the installed FLUID device configuration and whether the mechanism or cover needs replacement before ordering.
Additional Information
- This part is most relevant to locksmiths, installers and maintenance teams repairing compatible Lockwood FLUID exit devices.
- A common ordering mistake is buying the cover when the internal secondary mechanism is also damaged or worn.
- If the exit device has repeated operating issues, inspect the main latch assembly, secondary mechanism, covers, rods, strikes and fixings together.
- 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, check surrounding parts before completing the repair to avoid repeated call-outs.
