The Marks USA M9900VR is a heavy-duty vertical rod panic exit device engineered for 36" wide, 7' (84") tall single or double doors in demanding commercial environments. Designed for 1-3/4" (44 mm) door thickness as standard, it accommodates RHR or LHR hollow metal, wood, and mineral core doors with a minimum stile width of 3-1/2" (89 mm). Constructed with an extruded aluminum mechanism housing and push bar base, zinc alloy or stainless steel device head cover, and stainless steel top and bottom latches at 37/64" (14.8 mm), this device delivers reliable exit-only operation backed by UL Listed ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 certification and a 3-Hour Fire Rating.

Marks USA M9900VR-36X84-32D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Marks USA M9900VR vertical rod exit device fit a narrow stile aluminum door?
The M9900VR needs a stile of at least 3-1/2 inches, so it will not mount on a true narrow stile aluminum storefront door. For narrow stile openings, the Detex Advantex 50/51 Series surface vertical rod device is built for narrow stile. On hollow metal, wood, and mineral core doors with 3-1/2 inches or more of stile, the Marks device mounts as intended.
2) Is the Marks USA M9900VR fire rated for a stairwell or corridor door?
Fire rating is where you have to be careful with the M9900VR: it is UL Listed for panic hardware and certified to ANSI 156.3 (2001) Grade 1, but the fire rating field on the device reads No. If the opening is a labeled fire door, order a device sold as fire rated. The Delaney F9100 Series Grade 1 heavy duty vertical rod device for a 36 x 84 door is listed as fire rated, and it covers the same door size.
3) What door size does the Marks USA M9900VR panic device cover?
It is built for a 36 inch wide by 7 foot (84 inch) tall door, which is the standard commercial leaf size. Standard door thickness is 1-3/4 inches, with alternate thicknesses available if you specify them at order. On a taller door you are outside what this device is set up for.
4) Can a vertical rod exit device secure a pair of doors without a center mullion?
Yes, and that is the main reason to choose vertical rod over rim. The M9900VR latches at the head and the threshold through top and bottom latches with a 3/4 inch stainless steel bolt throw, so a pair of doors locks against the frame at top and bottom rather than against a mullion. A rim device on a pair needs a removable mullion to latch into. The M9900VR is exit only, so if you need outside key or lever access, that has to come from a different device.
5) Do I need to order handing for the Marks M9900VR, and does it work on a right hand reverse door?
No handing to specify. The M9900VR is non-handed and takes both RHR and LHR openings, so one part number covers either leaf of a pair. That also means a property manager stocking spares only carries one device for the whole building.
6) Is the Marks M9900VR ADA compliant for an accessible egress door?
The ADA compliant field on the M9900VR reads No. If accessibility is a requirement on the opening, look at a device sold as ADA compliant, such as the Cal-Royal 9860 surface vertical rod exit device, which is listed as ADA compliant and exit only, though it is Grade 2 rather than Grade 1.
7) What should I use instead of the Marks USA M9900VR if the door also needs outside lever entry?
The M9900VR is an exit only device, so there is no outside trim operation. When the outside of the opening has to be keyed and lever operated, the Detex V50/V51 Value Series surface vertical rod device, DTX- V5009BN/V5109BN, is a Grade 1 wide stile vertical rod device with lever trim that is active by key and locked when the key is removed. Same vertical rod latching approach at top and bottom, but with controlled entry rather than egress only.
8) What is the closest Grade 1 vertical rod exit device to the Marks USA M9900VR for a 36 inch by 84 inch door?
The Delaney 9100 Series vertical rod device, DLY-692301, is sized for a 36" x 84" door and is a Grade 1 heavy duty vertical rod type device in a stainless steel finish, which lines up closely with the Marks USA M9900VR at 36" wide by 7' (84") tall carrying ANSI 156.3 (2001), Grade 1. The M9900VR is exit only with hex key dogging and stainless steel top and bottom latches with a 3/4" throw. Confirm door prep and stile before swapping; the M9900VR needs a minimum 3-1/2" stile.
9) Which vertical rod exit device should be used on a fire rated opening instead of the Marks USA M9900VR?
The Delaney F9100 Series device, DLY-694300, is a Grade 1 fire rated heavy duty vertical rod type device for a 36" x 84" door in an aluminum finish. The Marks USA M9900VR is the non-fire-rated counterpart in the same 36" by 7' (84") door size, exit only with hex key dogging. Fire rated openings do not permit dogging, so the F9100 is the one to spec where the door assembly carries a fire label.
10) Does the Marks M9900VR come with strikes, or do I need to buy them separately?
Top and bottom strikes ship with the device, so the box has what the latches need at the head and the sill. Fasteners are machine screws as standard. If the door is wood or unreinforced metal, order the sex bolt (SNB) option instead so the device clamps through the door rather than relying on screw threads in soft material.
11) Can the push bar be held retracted during business hours on the Marks M9900VR?
Hex key dogging comes standard. An Allen wrench holds the push bar down so the latches stay retracted and the door pushes free during high traffic, then you undog it to relatch at close. Note that dogging is mechanical here, not electric, so it is a manual trip to the door morning and night.
12) Will the M9900VR latch reliably on an old door with worn strike prep?
The latches are stainless steel with 37/64 inch (14.8 mm) projection and a 3/4 inch bolt throw, and they deadlatch, meaning the bolt is blocked from being shimmed back once the door closes. Strikes are supplied with the device, so on a retrofit you set fresh top and bottom strikes rather than trying to run the new latches into old prep. Marks lists the device as retrofitting all popular preps on single and double doors.
13) Should I use a vertical rod device or a mortise exit device on a heavy traffic school door?
Vertical rod, like the M9900VR, latches top and bottom and is the choice when you have a pair of doors with no mullion, or when you want the door edge free. A mortise exit device latches into the frame at the lock edge and needs a mortise pocket cut in the door, so it is a new-door or heavily-prepped-door decision rather than a retrofit. The Detex 30 Advantex Series is a super heavy duty Grade 1 wide stile mortise device for a 36 inch door, but it is not compatible with wood doors. The Marks device is listed for schools, universities, and other institutional buildings and goes on hollow metal, wood, or mineral core.
14) Which other Grade 1 exit only vertical rod devices should a facility consider for standardizing across 36 inch doors?
Three carry the same exit only, Grade 1 vertical rod configuration as the Marks USA M9900VR: the Imperial USA ED-VR531, a 500 Series Grade 1 36" surface vertical rod exit device for wide stile, exit only; the Delaney 8100 Series DLY-8100-3684, a Grade 1 vertical rod type device for a 36" x 84" door; and the Delaney 9100 Series DLY-692301 for the same 36" x 84" opening. None of these three is fire rated, and neither is the M9900VR, so a labeled opening in the fleet needs a separate fire rated device.
15) How does the Von Duprin 8827-3FT compare with the Marks USA M9900VR?
The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is an 88 Series wide stile surface vertical rod exit device, 3 ft, Grade 1, listed for 1-3/4" door thickness. The Marks USA M9900VR is also a 36" (3 ft) vertical rod device to ANSI 156.3 (2001), Grade 1, standard for 1-3/4" (44 mm) doors, exit only with hex key dogging and stainless steel top and bottom latches at 3/4" throw. Neither is fire rated. The Marks unit is non-handed and mounts to hollow metal, wood, and mineral core doors at a 3-1/2" minimum stile.
16) What is the alternative to the Marks USA M9900VR for an exterior door that needs delayed egress and an alarm?
The Marks USA M9900VR is a straight mechanical exit only device with hex key dogging and no alarm or egress delay. For a controlled exterior opening, the Detex Advantex 10 Series weatherized delayed egress device, DEX-10EEX, provides delayed egress with a 100 dB alarm and NEMA 4X protection for outdoor exposure. Delayed egress carries local code and authority-having-jurisdiction requirements, so verify approval for the occupancy before specifying.
17) What finishes does the Marks USA M9900VR panic device come in?
Two: US32D satin stainless steel and US10B oil-rubbed dark bronze. US32D is the standard commercial match for most institutional openings and for the stainless touch plate and end caps already on the device; US10B is the choice when the rest of the door hardware in the building is dark bronze.

    Oil Rubbed Bronze is actually Matte Black

    Posted by Mark Gibson on Sep 22nd 2026

    The US10B product for Oil Rubbed Dark Bronze is misleading - the bronze finish is not available - it is actually Matte Black. Functionally, the Marks USA hardware continues to perform well in our public / commercial environment and is easy to install and maintain. If the bronze finish were an option - it would be 5 stars.
