They should move the dogging device down further on the device so that you don’t cut your hand on it or get hung up on the chain. That could be a life and safety hazard…looks like a purse snatcher to me:)
Alot of panic hardware doors with motors in them do not have a keyhole for dogging them down. If this has a motor in it, and it is not functioning yet, or at all, that is the only way to dog it down.
Not happy with the application, but I still feel better it’s not pad locked on.
At least they painted it and the chain to match the door!
You did not show the other end of the device. It probably has a dogging hole but they did not know what it was for or did not have an allen wrench

Necessity …the Mother of Invention. Or in this case try looking in the waste basket for instructions
