Delaney Hardware 684309 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can a Delaney 8100 exit device be used on a door taller than 84 inches?
Yes, with a top rod extension. The 8100 Series is built for 84 inch doors as standard and a top rod extension is available to take it up to 10 feet, which covers the tall openings you find in lobbies and gymnasiums. The rod extension is a separate item you specify with the order.
2) What is the minimum stile width for the Delaney 8100 vertical rod panic device?
3-1/2 inches minimum. That rules out most aluminum storefront and narrow stile glass doors, which typically run under that. If the opening is a narrow stile aluminum door, the Detex Advantex 50/51 Series surface vertical rod device is the narrow stile option to look at instead.
3) Does the Delaney 8100 work on a 2 inch thick door?
Yes. Standard range on the 8100 Series is 1-3/4 to 2 inches, which covers ordinary commercial hollow metal and most thicker leaves. If your door is 2-1/4 inches, that is an option you have to call out when ordering, not the standard build.
4) Will the Delaney 8100 mount on an existing hollow metal door with a 161 prep?
It will. The 8100 Series is built to cover a stock hollow metal door with the standard 161 cutout, so if you are pulling a cylindrical lock off an existing steel door you do not have to patch or plate the hole. Stile width still has to be 3-1/2 inches or more.
5) The opening is a labeled fire door - can the Delaney 8100 Series vertical rod device be used there?
No. The Delaney 8100 Series is not fire rated, and a labeled opening needs a device that is. The Marks USA M9900FVR is a 36 inch by 84 inch fire rated vertical rod exit device, exit only and non-handed, which keeps the same opening size and exit only function on a labeled door. For a 48 inch leaf, the Marks USA MARM9900F-VR is the fire rated M9900F vertical rod panic device at 48 inch by 84 inch, exit only.
6) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to the Delaney 8100 Series vertical rod device for a 36 by 84 inch door?
The Marks USA M9900VR is the nearest match on form and opening size: it is a 36 inch by 84 inch vertical rod panic exit device, exit only, non-handed, and non fire rated. The Delaney 8100 Series is also sized for a 36 inch by 84 inch door, carries Grade 1, and is non fire rated. If the opening is a plain egress door with no outside trim, either device covers the same job.
7) The door needs to be openable from outside with a key - what takes the place of the Delaney 8100 Series?
The Detex V50/V51 Value Series V5009BN/V5109BN is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod exit device with lever trim that is active by key and locked when the key is removed, so the outside lever controls entry while egress stays free. The Delaney 8100 Series is a Grade 1 vertical rod device for a 36 inch by 84 inch opening. Choose the Detex where outside key control is part of the opening's function.
8) Will the Delaney 8100 Series fit an aluminum storefront door with a narrow stile?
The Delaney 8100 Series requires a 3-1/2 inch minimum stile width. Where the stile is narrower than that, the Detex Advantex 50/51 Series 5001DN/5101DN is a Grade 1 narrow stile surface vertical rod exit device with blank escutcheon, built for narrow stile openings. Glass front installers working aluminum entrances should confirm stile width before ordering the 8100.
9) Should I use a vertical rod exit device or a rim device with a mullion on a pair of doors?
A vertical rod device like the Delaney 8100 latches into a strike at the head and one at the threshold, so each leaf secures on its own and you keep the full clear opening with no center post to carry through. That matters where you move carts, beds, or furniture. A rim device on a pair needs a mullion between the leaves, which is cheaper hardware but blocks the middle of the opening and has to be removed and reset for wide loads. If the doors are single leaf and there is no pair to deal with, the rod device gains you nothing over a rim device.
10) What strikes come with the Delaney 8100 vertical rod device, and do I need to order them separately?
Two strikes are part of the 8100 Series: the #8171 steel strike for the top case and the #8172 zinc strike for the bottom case. They are specified with the device, so you are not sourcing head and threshold strikes separately. The bottom strike sets into the floor or threshold, so confirm your threshold detail will take it before the frame goes in.
11) Is the Delaney 8100 heavy duty enough for a school or hospital corridor?
Grade 1 is the highest ANSI/BHMA durability tier for exit hardware, and the 8100 Series is Grade 1 and commercial rated. Delaney calls out offices, schools, hospitals, apartments and hotels as the intended applications. Latch springs are stainless steel throughout, which is what keeps the device cycling in a heavy traffic corridor. If your traffic is lighter and budget is the driver, the Cal-Royal 9860 surface vertical rod is a Grade 2 heavy duty alternative.
12) What is a Grade 1 substitute for the Delaney 8100 if I need a wide stile surface vertical rod from another brand?
Several Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod devices cover the same duty. The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a 3 foot Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Imperial USA ED-VR531 is a Grade 1 wide stile exit only device at 36 inches. The Detex V50/V51 Value Series is Grade 1 wide stile and comes with lever trim active by key, so it is the one to take if you need outside key access rather than exit only. All three are non fire rated, same as the 8100.
13) I need a panic device that alarms or delays egress. Is the Delaney 8100 the right one?
No. The 8100 Series is a straight mechanical vertical rod panic device, UL 305 listed for panic hardware, with no alarm or delayed egress function. For a controlled exterior door where you want to hold someone at the opening and sound off, the Detex Advantex 10 Series delayed egress device with a 100 dB alarm and NEMA 4X weatherized housing is the one built for that duty.
14) Is there a lighter grade surface vertical rod device than the Delaney 8100 Series for a lower traffic door?
The Cal-Royal 9860 is a surface vertical rod exit device rated Grade 2 heavy duty, exit only and non fire rated, with ADA compliance called out. The Delaney 8100 Series is Grade 1 and non fire rated. Where a facility standard or a drawing calls for Grade 1, the 9860 will not satisfy it; on an interior door specified to Grade 2 it will.
15) Is the Detex 30 Advantex a drop-in alternative to the Delaney 8100 Series?
No - it is a different device type. The Detex 30 Advantex Series is a super-heavy-duty mortise exit device for a 36 inch wide stile door, Grade 1, non fire rated, and not compatible with wood doors. A mortise device latches into the frame through a mortise pocket in the door edge, so the door prep is not the same as a vertical rod device. The Delaney 8100 Series is a vertical rod device that will cover stock hollow metal doors with the 161 cutout.
16) Which vertical rod device matches an existing Von Duprin standard across a building?
The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is the 88 Series wide stile surface vertical rod device at 3 ft, Grade 1, non fire rated, for 1-3/4 inch doors. Where a facility is already standardized on the 88 Series, staying with it keeps trim, rods and strikes consistent. The Delaney 8100 Series is a Grade 1 vertical rod device for 33 inch to 36 inch by 84 inch openings, and its strikes are the #8171 steel top case strike and #8172 zinc bottom case strike, so it is a separate strike set from anything already in the frames.
17) What finishes does the Delaney 8100 exit device come in, and will it match the other doors in my building?
Three finishes: US28 aluminum, 695 duro bronze, and US19 black. The chassis, end cap and rail are painted steel in the aluminum and duro versions and stainless steel in US32D. For a building already standardized on a satin aluminum look, US28 is the match; US19 black is the one to pick against dark storefront or dark painted frames.
18) Do I need to specify handing when I order a Delaney 8100 vertical rod exit device?
Handing is not something the 8100 Series build is broken out by. What you do have to settle at order time is door size within the 33 to 36 by 84 inch range, door thickness (1-3/4 to 2 inches standard, 2-1/4 as an option), a top rod extension if the leaf runs taller than 84 inches, and finish from US28 aluminum, 695 duro bronze or US19 black.
19) Is the Delaney 8100 an exit only device or can it be unlocked from outside?
The 8100 Series as described is the device itself: chassis, rail, end cap, top and bottom latch cases and the two strikes. Outside key access is a trim decision. If key retraction from the outside is a requirement on your opening, the Detex V50/V51 Value Series surface vertical rod ships with lever trim that is active by key and locks when the key is removed, which is the configuration to ask for.
