Deltana PDVR36 Panic Device Rim 36" Vertical Rod

That is what a surface vertical rod is for. It latches at the head and the threshold rather than into the jamb edge, so it secures the active leaf of a pair with no center mullion. A rim device on the same pair would need a removable mullion to latch into.

Deltana classes the PDVR36 as residential-duty. For a school, retail entrance, or high-traffic commercial opening, step up to a Grade 1 device such as the Von Duprin 2227-3FT or the Corbin Russwin ED5400, both 36 inch wide stile surface vertical rods.

The Deltana PDVR36 is a 36 inch surface vertical rod panic device in cold rolled steel with Allen key dogging, rated for doors up to 7 feet. If a Grade 1 device is specified, the Von Duprin 2227-3FT is a 36 inch wide stile surface vertical rod device, Grade 1, non-handed, for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Corbin Russwin ED5400 is also a Grade 1 36 inch wide stile surface vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors that accepts trim, and the TownSteel ED8927 covers a 36 inch by 84 inch wide stile opening at Grade 1.

For a fire rated opening, use a device catalogued as fire rated. The Adams Rite 3100 Series 30 inch is a Grade 1 fire rated wide stile surface vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Arrow S1150 30 inch is fire rated and fits narrow or wide stile doors. In 36 inch, the TownSteel EF9727 is a fire rated ANSI Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile device sized 36 inch by 84 inch and compatible with wood doors, and the Sargent 2727 is a Grade 1 fire rated reversible wide stile exit only device.

The Deltana PDVR36 is supplied as a 36 inch panic device with strike included and Allen key dogging. If the opening needs outside key or lever operation, devices catalogued as accepting trim include the Corbin Russwin ED4400 Grade 1 36 inch narrow stile device and the ED5400 Grade 1 36 inch wide stile device, both listed as exit only, accepts trim, and the Corbin Russwin ED7400 narrow stile crossbar device, which accepts operator trim.

The Deltana PDVR36 is a cold rolled steel panic device rated to a 7 foot door height. Where the door leaf is wood, the TownSteel devices are specified as wood door compatible: the EF9727 fire rated Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile 36 inch by 84 inch, the ED8927 Grade 1 wide stile 36 inch by 84 inch, and the ED3727 Grade 1 narrow stile 36 inch by 84 inch. The Von Duprin 7527-3ft and 7827-3ft are listed as not wood door compatible.

The strike is included with the PDVR36, so you are not sourcing a top strike separately to finish the install.

Yes. It uses Allen key dogging, so an installer depresses the push pad and sets it with a hex key to keep the latches retracted for daytime free passage, then undogs it at close.

The Orca Hardware OED56 Series 36 inch device is a standard duty, exit only vertical rod supplied less bottom rod and non-handed, for 1-3/4 inch doors. Dropping the bottom rod keeps the threshold clear where floor debris or carpet would foul a bottom latch.

The Deltana PDVR36 is a 36 inch surface vertical rod panic device in cold rolled steel with strike included. In the standard duty range, the Design Hardware 2000V is a 33 inch standard duty surface vertical rod device and the Orca Hardware OED56 is a 36 inch standard duty exit only vertical rod device in aluminum finish, non-handed, less bottom rod, for 1-3/4 inch doors. The TownSteel TS5100 is a 36 inch by 84 inch heavy duty Grade 2 wide stile device if you want a graded unit at a step below Grade 1.

The Deltana PDVR36 is dogged with an Allen key. Among comparable devices, the Von Duprin 7827-3ft is a 3 foot Grade 1 surface vertical rod device specified with hex key dogging, for 1-3/4 inch doors. Hex key and Allen key dogging are the same arrangement, so a facility already stocking one wrench can carry both.

For a non-handed or field reversible 36 inch surface vertical rod device, the Von Duprin 2227-3FT is a Grade 1 wide stile unit listed as non-handed, the BEST Precision 5201 is a 36 inch reversible surface vertical rod device, the Sargent 2727 is a Grade 1 fire rated reversible wide stile device, and the Orca Hardware OED56 36 inch device is listed as non-handed. Carrying a non-handed device means one part number covers both leaves of a pair.

No. The Deltana PDVR36 is a functioning 36 inch panic device with vertical rod, strike included and Allen key dogging. The Sargent 12-8710 is a fire rated Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device with a dummy function, meaning it does not latch and release as an operating exit device. Use a dummy only on the inactive leaf or where a matching push bar appearance is wanted without exit function.

The Deltana PDVR36 is a steel 36 inch surface vertical rod panic device with Allen key dogging and strike included. The Dexter line separates by grade: the ED1000 and ED1500 Series are Grade 1 surface vertical rod devices and the ED2000 Series is Grade 2. Choose by the grade called for on the door schedule rather than by appearance.

Cold rolled steel, in either an Aluminum or a Duro finish. Steel construction suits interior and protected exterior openings; for a corrosive or coastal opening look at a device specified for that exposure.

They mount to the same type of opening but the user interface differs. The Deltana PDVR36 is a push style panic device with a 36 inch vertical rod assembly. The Corbin Russwin ED7400 is a narrow stile crossbar surface vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors, while push pad style units include the Arrow 3700 Series wide stile pushpad device and the Sargent 3727 Grade 1 wide stile device with standard push bar. If a building is standardizing on one look across its exits, match the operator style, not just the rod type.
