Marks USA M9900FVR-36X84-32D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Marks USA M9900FVR fit a 3-1/2 inch stile aluminum or hollow metal door?
Yes, 3-1/2 inches (89 mm) is the minimum stile the M9900FVR needs, so a 3-1/2 inch stile is the tightest opening it will mount on. Anything narrower than that and you need a true narrow stile device instead, such as the Detex Advantex 50/51 Series surface vertical rod. The M9900FVR is built for a 36 inch wide by 84 inch tall (7 foot) door at a standard 1-3/4 inch (44 mm) thickness; if your doors are a different thickness, that has to be specified when ordering.
2) Do I need to order a left hand or right hand Marks USA M9900FVR?
Neither. The M9900FVR is non-handed, so the same device works on an RHR or LHR opening. That covers hollow metal, wood, and mineral core doors. For a property manager standardizing a building, it means one part number covers every 36 x 84 door regardless of swing, and you only pick the finish.
3) Can a vertical rod exit device like the M9900FVR secure a pair of doors without a mullion?
That is exactly what a vertical rod device is for. The M9900FVR latches at the head and at the threshold through top and bottom latches, so a pair of doors can be secured with no center mullion in the opening. A rim device on the same pair would need a mullion between the leaves to latch against. Marks lists the M9900FVR for both single and double door applications, and both top and bottom strikes are included in the box.
4) Will the M9900FVR latch into the strikes already in my frame and threshold?
The M9900FVR ships with its own top and bottom strikes, and Marks intends it to go into existing openings, listing it as retrofitting all popular preps. The latches are stainless steel with a 37/64 inch (14.8 mm) throw and the bolt throw is a stainless 3/4 inch, and the latch is deadlatching so it resists being carded once shut. Plan on setting the supplied strikes rather than reusing what is in the frame, since throw depth is what decides positive latching.
5) Do I need to order anything extra to mount a Marks USA M9900FVR on a wood door?
Machine screws come standard, which is fine on reinforced hollow metal. On a wood door or an unreinforced metal door, order the SNB option to get sex bolts instead, otherwise the fasteners have nothing solid to pull against and the device works loose under traffic. The M9900FVR itself is rated for wood and mineral core doors as well as hollow metal.
6) Is the Marks USA M9900FVR ADA compliant?
No. Marks lists the M9900FVR as not ADA compliant, so on an opening where you have to meet ADA operating requirements this is not the device to specify. If ADA is the driver, the Cal-Royal 9860 surface vertical rod is listed with ADA compliance, though it is Grade 2 and not fire rated, so it will not stand in on a fire door.
7) What else could I use instead of the Marks USA M9900FVR on a 36 x 84 fire rated opening?
For a fire rated 36 by 84 vertical rod device, the Delaney F9100 Series is the closest cross-brand equivalent we carry: Grade 1, fire rated, sized for a 36 inch by 84 inch door, in an aluminum finish. If the opening is not a fire door, the Delaney 9100 Series and 8100 Series cover the same 36 x 84 size at Grade 1 without a fire rating, and the Von Duprin 8827-3FT is the wide stile 3 foot Grade 1 surface vertical rod for 1-3/4 inch doors. Only the F9100 substitutes on a labeled opening.
8) Can the Von Duprin 8827-3FT replace the Marks USA M9900FVR on a fire rated door?
The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod exit device from the 88 Series, sized for a 3 foot door and built for a 1-3/4 inch door thickness, which is the same door thickness the Marks USA M9900FVR is supplied for. Its Fire Rating is No, so on a fire door assembly the M9900FVR, which is fire rated and UL listed for panic hardware, is the one that carries the label. On a non rated 3 foot opening the two cover the same width and thickness.
9) Which vertical rod device should be ordered when the door needs outside lever trim rather than exit only like the Marks USA M9900FVR?
The Marks USA M9900FVR is furnished exit only, meaning there is no outside trim to re-enter through. When outside access is required, the Detex V50/V51 Value Series, SKU DTX- 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. The Imperial USA ED-VR531, a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device, is like the Marks in being an exit only function.
10) What is the closest fire rated alternative to the Marks USA M9900FVR vertical rod exit device for a 36 by 84 inch door?
The Delaney F9100 Series, SKU DLY-694300, is the nearest match. It is a Grade 1 fire rated heavy duty vertical rod type device built for a 36 inch by 84 inch door, the same opening the Marks USA M9900FVR covers, and the same ANSI Grade 1 level. The M9900FVR is furnished exit only with a deadlatching latch and hex key dogging; the Delaney F9100 is supplied in an aluminum finish, while the M9900FVR comes in US10B oil-rubbed dark bronze and US32D satin stainless steel.
11) How does the Cal-Royal 9860 vertical rod exit device compare to the Marks USA M9900FVR?
Both are heavy duty exit only surface vertical rod devices. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a Grade 2 device and is not fire rated, and it is described as ADA compliant. The Marks USA M9900FVR is ANSI 156.3 Grade 1, UL listed for panic hardware, fire rated, and its ADA Compliant attribute is No. For a fire door assembly or a spec calling out Grade 1 panic hardware, the M9900FVR is the one that meets it; where an ADA compliant device is being specified on a non rated opening, the 9860 is the one to look at.
12) Is the Detex 30 Advantex a substitute for the Marks USA M9900FVR on a 36 inch door?
No. The Detex 30 Advantex Series is a mortise exit device for a 36 inch wide stile door, not a vertical rod device, so it uses a different door prep and latches into the frame at the lock edge rather than into top and bottom strikes. It is also listed as not wood door compatible and carries a Fire Rating of No. The Marks USA M9900FVR is a vertical rod device with stainless steel top and bottom latches and strikes included, fire rated, and compatible with hollow metal, wood, and mineral core doors.
13) What vertical rod exit device works on a narrow stile aluminum door instead of the Marks USA M9900FVR?
The Detex Advantex 50/51 Series, SKU DTX- 5001DN/5101DN, is a Grade 1 narrow stile surface vertical rod exit device furnished with a blank escutcheon. The Marks USA M9900FVR requires a minimum stile width of 3-1/2 inches, so on a narrower aluminum stile the Detex 50/51 is the device to specify. Where the stile allows 3-1/2 inches or more, the M9900FVR is the fire rated Grade 1 option.
14) Should I use a surface vertical rod device or a mortise exit device on my exterior pair?
A surface vertical rod like the M9900FVR mounts on the face of the door with aluminum tube rods running to the head and threshold, latching top and bottom, which is what lets a pair work without a mullion. It is the straightforward retrofit because the rods and latches surface mount rather than needing the door machined. A mortise device such as the Detex 30 Advantex is cut into the edge of the door instead, and that one is listed as not wood door compatible, so it is a different prep and a different door entirely. If the doors are already up and you are replacing hardware, surface vertical rod is the lower-disruption path.
15) Is the M9900FVR heavy duty enough for a school corridor or a high traffic exit?
It is built for that traffic. Marks specifies the M9900FVR for schools, universities and other institutional or commercial buildings, at ANSI 156.3 (2001) Grade 1, which is the highest ANSI/BHMA duty grade for panic hardware. The build is an extruded aluminum mechanism housing and push bar base, steel plated chassis, zinc alloy or stainless head cover, aluminum tube rods, and stainless steel touch plate, end caps and latches. It is a commercial-only device, not a residential one.
16) Can I hold the door open with the M9900FVR during deliveries?
The M9900FVR is furnished with Allen-type hex key dogging, so you can depress the push bar and dog it down to leave the door push-pull open. Only do that on a non-fire-rated opening. Since this device is 3-Hour Fire Rated and will normally be hung on a labeled door, in most installs the dogging should stay unused and the door left to latch.
17) Is the Detex Advantex 10 Series delayed egress device an alternative to the Marks USA M9900FVR?
They solve different problems. The Detex Advantex 10 Series, SKU DEX-10EEX, is a weatherized delayed egress exit device with a 100 dB alarm and NEMA 4X protection, intended for openings where egress is delayed and alarmed and the device is exposed to weather. The Marks USA M9900FVR is a straight exit only vertical rod panic device with hex key dogging and no alarm function, fire rated and UL listed for panic hardware. Choose the Detex 10 when the opening needs delayed egress or an exit alarm; choose the M9900FVR for standard free egress on a rated door.
18) For standardizing exit only vertical rod devices across a school or campus, which Grade 1 devices cover both rated and non rated 36 by 84 openings?
The Marks USA M9900FVR covers the rated side: ANSI 156.3 Grade 1, UL listed for panic hardware, fire rated, exit only, for 36 inch by 84 inch openings with a 3-1/2 inch minimum stile, and its application list names schools, universities, and other institutional or commercial buildings, single and double doors. On non rated openings of the same size, the Delaney 8100 Series and Delaney 9100 Series are both Grade 1 vertical rod devices for a 36 by 84 door, and the Imperial USA ED-VR531 is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device in an exit only function.
19) What finishes does the Marks USA M9900FVR fire rated vertical rod device come in?
Two: US32D satin stainless steel and US10B oil-rubbed dark bronze. US32D is the usual pick when you are matching the rest of the hardware in a school or institutional corridor, since the touch plate, end caps and latches are stainless anyway. US10B is the choice where the openings are on a bronze-finish scheme. Both are the same device otherwise.
