Marks USA MARM9900F-VR-32D-48 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I have to order the M9900F panic device handed for a left hand reverse or right hand reverse door?
No handing to specify. The M9900F is non-handed and field reversible, so one device covers both RHR and LHR openings on hollow metal, wood, or mineral core doors. For a property manager or distributor stocking spares, that means a single part number serves every door in the building.
2) Can this Marks vertical rod device lock a pair of doors without a mullion?
That is the point of the vertical rod configuration. The M9900F latches at the head and the threshold rather than into a strike jamb, so a pair of doors is secured without a center mullion. Top and bottom strikes come with the device. If you are working a single door and can accept a mullion between a pair, a rim device is the simpler install; go vertical rod when the opening has to stay clear.
3) Will the M9900F latch into my existing strike prep, or do I need to redrill the door?
The M9900F is built to retrofit all popular door preps, and the latches throw 3/4 inch in stainless steel at the top and bottom. Top and bottom strikes ship with it, so on a replacement you can set the new strikes rather than trying to hit an old one. The latch is deadlatching, which resists loiding once the door is closed.
4) What mounting hardware does the Marks M9900F use on a wood or unreinforced metal door?
Machine screw mounting is standard. On wood doors or unreinforced metal, specify the SNB option to get sex bolts instead, which clamp through the door rather than relying on threads in thin skin. An Allen-type hex key for dogging is furnished with the device.
5) Is the M9900F heavy duty enough for a high school corridor door?
It is built for that traffic. Schools and universities are named applications, and the device uses a heavy-gauge extruded aluminum mechanism housing and push bar base, a steel plated chassis, and stainless steel top and bottom latches at 37/64 inch. The touch bar is a smooth reduced-projection design with mitered stainless flush-mounted end caps, which cuts down on the catch points that get abused in a student corridor.
6) Should I use a surface vertical rod device like the M9900F or a mortise exit device?
Surface vertical rod, like the M9900F, mounts on the face of the door and latches top and bottom, which is why it works on a pair with no mullion and retrofits existing preps with minimal machining. A mortise exit device such as the Detex 30 Advantex pockets into the door edge and latches into the jamb; it is a wide stile device and is listed as not wood door compatible. If you are replacing existing surface hardware or working wood and mineral core doors, the vertical rod is the straightforward path.
7) Is the Detex 30 Advantex mortise device an alternative to the Marks USA M9900F?
They latch differently and should not be swapped without changing the door prep. The Detex 30 Advantex is a super-heavy-duty Grade 1 mortise exit device for a 36 inch wide stile door, is not fire rated, and is not wood door compatible. The Marks USA M9900F is a vertical rod device with top and bottom latches and strikes, is fire rated, and is applied to hollow metal, wood, and mineral core doors. A mortise device requires a mortise pocket in the lock edge; the vertical rod device does not.
8) What finishes does the Marks M9900F 48 inch vertical rod device come in?
Two finishes: US32D satin stainless steel and US10B oil-rubbed dark bronze. US32D is the usual pick when you are matching existing institutional hardware across a school or office building; US10B suits darker architectural openings.
