Design Hardware 1000V-42-US26 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What door width does the 42 inch Design Hardware 1000V vertical rod exit device fit?
The 42 inch 1000V is built for doors 3'-8" to 4'-0" wide, and it can be cut down to fit a door as narrow as 3'-4". For a 3'-0" door use the 33 inch device instead, which cuts down to 2'-8".
2) How narrow a stile can this exit device mount on?
4-1/2 inches minimum. The 1000V center case is 8 x 2-7/8 x 2-13/16 inches, so anything under a 4-1/2 inch stile needs a narrow stile device instead, such as the Corbin Russwin ED4400 or the Von Duprin 3327A.
3) Will the Design Hardware 1000V work on a pair of doors with no center mullion?
Yes. It's a surface vertical rod device, latching at the head and at the floor rather than into a mullion or strike jamb, so it secures both leaves of a pair without a center mullion. The top latch is a U shape that engages a strike at the head and the bottom is a drop bolt that drops into a flat strike and a hole in the floor.
4) Can I use an electric strike with the top latch on this device?
No. The 1000V's U shaped top latch is not electric strike compatible. If you need electrified access control on the opening, order the device with electric latch retraction (ELR) or electric dogging (ED), and add REX or latch bolt monitoring if you need signaling back to the panel.
5) Do I need to specify left or right hand when ordering the 1000V exit device?
No. The 1000V ships right hand reverse and is re-handed in the field, so one part covers either swing. Useful if you're stocking spares for a building with doors swinging both ways.
6) Will this fit a 10 foot tall door?
The 1000V is set up for 7'-0" doors as standard, and extended top rods are available for doors up to 10'-0" tall. Order the extended rod with the device rather than trying to splice the standard one.
7) My opening is a fire-rated door - what surface vertical rod device should I use instead of the 1000V?
The Design Hardware 1000V is listed as not fire rated, so for a labeled fire door opening choose a fire-rated surface vertical rod device instead. Options include the Adams Rite 3100 Series Grade 1 fire-rated device, the Arrow S1150 fire-rated device less trim, the Sargent 2727 Grade 1 fire-rated reversible device, and the TownSteel 9700 Series EF9727 Grade 1 fire-rated heavy duty device for 36 by 84 inch doors. Fire-rated vertical rod devices are typically less bottom rod, so confirm the strike and rod configuration matches your frame.
8) What Grade 1 surface vertical rod exit device can replace a Design Hardware 1000V 42 inch on a non-fire-rated opening?
The Design Hardware 1000V is a Grade 1 surface vertical rod device for non-fire-rated openings. Close Grade 1 non-fire-rated peers include the Von Duprin 2227-3FT wide stile device for 36 inch doors, the Falcon 20 Series wide stile device at 36 inch, and the TownSteel 8900 Series ED8927 wide stile device for 36 by 84 inch doors. All three are wide stile like the 1000V, which needs a 4-1/2 inch minimum stile. Note that the 1000V 42 inch length covers 3 ft 8 in to 4 ft wide doors and can be cut down to a 3 ft 4 in door, so a 36 inch peer device is sized for a narrower opening.
9) Will a Sargent 12-8710 work as a substitute for a Design Hardware 1000V exit device?
No. The Sargent 12-8710 is a dummy function surface vertical rod device, meaning it provides the appearance and push motion of an exit device without latching hardware that operates as panic egress. The Design Hardware 1000V is a UL listed panic exit device with a U shaped top latch and a drop bolt bottom latch that secures into a flat strike and a hole in the floor. Use the 12-8710 only on the inactive leaf of a pair where a dummy device is specified, not where egress hardware is required.
10) We are standardizing a building on one vertical rod exit device - which Grade 1 families cover both wide and narrow stile openings?
The Design Hardware 1000V is a Grade 1 wide stile device requiring a 4-1/2 inch stile, with 33 inch and 42 inch lengths covering doors from 2 ft 8 in through 4 ft 0 in when cut down, plus extended top rods for doors up to 10 ft tall. If a single family has to serve both stile types, the Arrow S1150 is listed for narrow or wide stile and is fire rated. Alternatively, pair families within one brand: Corbin Russwin offers the narrow stile ED4400 and the wide stile ED5400, and Adams Rite offers the wide stile 8100 Series and narrow stile 8200 Series.
11) My door is a wood door - can I use the 1000V or should I look at another vertical rod device?
The Design Hardware 1000V ships with wood, machine, and self tapping machine screws, and the fire-rated F1000V version includes thru bolts, so wood door fastening is addressed in the standard fastener pack. Among comparable devices, the TownSteel ED8927, ED3727, and EF9727 are listed as wood door compatible, while the Von Duprin 7527 and 7827 are listed as not wood door compatible. Confirm the door core will hold thru bolts on any high traffic wood opening.
12) How much does this exit device project off the door face?
3-3/8 inches with the pushbar neutral and undogged, dropping to 2-13/16 inches when dogged and the pushbar is depressed. Worth checking against corridor clearance and anything mounted opposite the door.
13) How do you hold the 1000V latches retracted for daytime free passage?
Hex key dogging is standard, using a 5/32 inch hex key to hold the pushbar down and the latches retracted. Cylinder dogging kits are also available if you'd rather key it, and they fit new or existing devices.
14) Is a lever trim needed to meet ADA on this opening?
The 1000V meets ADA requirements under ANSI A117.1 when fitted with lever trim. The device itself ships with a latch filler; exterior trims, shim kits and other accessories are ordered separately, so specify the lever trim if the outside of the door needs to be operable.
15) What fasteners come with the 1000V, and are thru bolts included?
Wood, machine and self tapping machine screws ship with the device, which covers both hollow metal and wood doors. Thru bolts are included with the F1000V version. If you're mounting to a door that needs shimming to clear glass stops or a flush bolt, shim kits are available separately.
16) How much undercut should the door have for the bottom drop bolt to work?
A 1/4 inch door undercut is recommended where you have a 1/4 inch threshold or no threshold at all. Too little clearance and the drop bolt bottom latch won't seat into the floor strike cleanly.
17) Is the Design Hardware 1000V heavy duty enough for a school or high traffic entrance?
It's a commercial Grade 1 device rated for medium to heavy use, with an extruded anodized aluminum channel and a steel chassis. For standardizing across a facility, the re-handing and the single 4-1/2 inch stile requirement make it simple to stock one device for many openings.
18) What other Grade 1 wide stile vertical rod devices could I use instead of the 1000V?
Comparable Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod devices include the Von Duprin 2227, the Falcon 20 and 25 Series, the Corbin Russwin ED5400, the Sargent 3727, and the TownSteel ED8927. The Von Duprin, Falcon and Corbin Russwin devices are listed for 1-3/4 inch doors. If budget is the driver over Grade 1, the Dexter ED2000 and TownSteel TS5100 are Grade 2 vertical rod devices.
19) I don't want a bottom rod dragging on the floor. Is there a less bottom rod option in this style?
The 1000V uses a drop bolt bottom latch into a floor strike, so the bottom rod is part of how it secures. If you want to avoid a bottom rod entirely, the Orca Hardware OED56 Series 36 inch device is a less bottom rod vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors, non-handed and exit only.
20) Is there a lighter duty or Grade 2 alternative to the Design Hardware 1000V vertical rod exit device?
The 1000V is a Grade 1 device rated for medium to heavy use with an extruded anodized aluminum channel and steel chassis. If the opening does not require Grade 1, Grade 2 surface vertical rod alternatives include the Dexter ED2000 Series panic device and the TownSteel TS5100 Series wide stile device for 36 by 84 inch doors. The Orca Hardware OED56 Series is a standard duty vertical rod device supplied less bottom rod, non-handed, in an aluminum finish.
21) Which vertical rod devices are field reversible like the Design Hardware 1000V?
The 1000V ships as RHR and is completely reversible, re-handed in the field without special parts. Among other surface vertical rod devices, the BEST Precision 5201 Series is a reversible device for 36 inch doors, the Sargent 2727 is a reversible Grade 1 fire-rated device, and the Von Duprin 2227-3FT is non-handed for 36 inch doors. Handing matters at order time on devices that are not reversible, so confirm before substituting.
22) I need electric latch retraction on a vertical rod device - how does the 1000V compare to other options?
The Design Hardware 1000V offers motorized electric latch retraction (ELR), electric dogging (ED), request to exit (REX), and latch bolt monitoring (LBM) as electrified options. One caution on the 1000V: its U shaped top latch is not electric strike compatible, so access control has to be handled through the device rather than the frame. Grade 1 peers commonly specified on electrified openings include the Von Duprin 2227-3FT and the Corbin Russwin ED5400 wide stile device.
23) What is the difference between the Design Hardware 1000V and the Dexter ED1000 and ED1500 vertical rod devices?
All three are Grade 1 surface vertical rod exit devices. The Design Hardware 1000V is offered in 33 inch and 42 inch lengths with an extruded anodized aluminum channel, hex key dogging, and finishes including 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 613 dark bronze, 625 bright chrome, and 630 satin stainless steel, plus a marine grade 316 stainless steel option. The Dexter ED1000 Series is catalogued as an exit only configuration, and the Dexter ED1500 Series is Grade 1 and not fire rated, matching the 1000V on rating for non-labeled openings.
24) Which surface vertical rod devices are available for 36 inch doors if the 42 inch 1000V is longer than my opening needs?
The 1000V 42 inch device is sized for 3 ft 8 in to 4 ft 0 in wide doors and can be cut down to fit a 3 ft 4 in door, and the 1000V is also made in a 33 inch length for 3 ft 0 in doors. If you would rather order a device already built for a 36 inch opening, comparable choices include the BEST Precision 2201 wide stile device, the BEST Precision 5201 reversible device, the Sargent 3727 Grade 1 device with standard push bar, and the Falcon 24-V-EO narrow stile device.
25) What finishes does the Design Hardware 1000V 42 inch device come in?
Five: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 613 dark bronze, 625 bright chrome, and 630 satin stainless. The finish is applied to the headcover, pushbar, endcap and latches, so it's what shows on the door. A marine grade 316 stainless option is offered for coastal or pool openings.
