Built to ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1 and ANSI/UL305 panic hardware standards, the M9900VR retrofits all popular door preps and accommodates 1-3/4" (44mm) standard door thickness on RHR or LHR hollow metal, wood, and mineral core doors.

Marks USA M9900VR-48X84-32D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Marks USA M9900VR fit a narrow stile aluminum door?
Only if the stile measures at least 3-1/2 inches. The M9900VR vertical rod device needs a 3-1/2 inch minimum stile width, which rules out most narrow stile aluminum entrances. For a true narrow stile opening, the Detex Advantex 50/51 Series surface vertical rod device is the narrow stile option; the Detex V50/V51 Value Series and Von Duprin 8827 are wide stile like the Marks.
2) Can a vertical rod exit device secure a pair of doors without a center mullion?
That is exactly what a vertical rod device is for. The M9900VR latches at the head and at the threshold through aluminum tube rods with top and bottom strikes included, so a pair of doors holds shut with nothing in the middle of the opening. A rim device would need a removable mullion between the leaves. The M9900VR works the same way on a single door, and the Marks is listed for single and double door applications.
3) Will the M9900VR latch into the strikes already in my frame?
The top and bottom stainless steel latches throw 3/4 inch and measure 37/64 inch (14.8mm) each, and the device is a deadlatching type. Top and bottom strikes ship with it, so the usual path is to set the supplied strikes rather than reuse the old ones. Marks states the device retrofits all popular door preps, which covers the door face prep, not the strike locations.
4) What fasteners do I need to mount the M9900VR on a wood door?
Machine screws are standard, which suits reinforced hollow metal. For a wood door or an unreinforced metal door, order the SNB option to get sex bolts that clamp through the leaf instead of relying on threads in the door face. Decide this before you order, since it changes what ships in the box.
5) What should I order instead of the Marks USA M9900VR if the opening needs lever trim and key control rather than exit only?
The Detex V50/V51 Value Series device (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 Marks USA M9900VR is an exit only device, meaning it releases from the inside with no outside trim operation. If the opening needs controlled entry from the outside, the lever trim device is the one to spec.
6) Is there a Grade 2 alternative to the Marks USA M9900VR vertical rod exit device?
Yes. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty surface vertical rod exit device built to Grade 2 with an exit only function and ADA compliance. The Marks USA M9900VR is also an exit only device but is built to ANSI 156.3 (2001), Grade 1. If a specification or facility standard calls out Grade 1 panic hardware, the Cal-Royal 9860 will not satisfy it; if the opening is specified for ADA compliance, note that the M9900VR is not ADA compliant.
7) What is the closest equivalent to the Marks USA M9900VR vertical rod exit device from another manufacturer?
The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is the nearest peer: a wide stile surface vertical rod exit device built to Grade 1 for 1-3/4 inch doors, from the Von Duprin 88 Series. The Marks USA M9900VR is likewise a Grade 1 vertical rod panic device carrying ANSI 156.3 (2001), Grade 1 and UL Listed For Panic Hardware, sized 48 inches wide by 7 feet (84 inches) tall for exit-only openings. The Von Duprin unit is furnished in a 3 ft device width, so confirm the door width before swapping one for the other.
8) Which vertical rod exit device should I use on a 36 inch by 84 inch door instead of the Marks USA M9900VR?
The Marks USA M9900VR is built for a 48 inch wide, 7 foot (84 inch) tall opening. For a 36 inch by 84 inch door, the Delaney 9100 Series device (DLY-692301) is a Grade 1 heavy duty vertical rod type device sized for 36 inch x 84 inch doors in a stainless steel finish, and the Delaney 8100 Series (DLY-8100-3684) is a Grade 1 vertical rod type device for the same 36 inch x 84 inch opening. Both are Grade 1, matching the grade the M9900VR is built to.
9) I need a vertical rod exit device that carries a fire rating on the device itself. What are my options next to the Marks USA M9900VR?
The Delaney F9100 Series device (DLY-694300) is a Grade 1 heavy duty vertical rod type device that is fire rated, supplied in an aluminum finish for a 36 inch x 84 inch door. Among the vertical rod peers, the Cal-Royal 9860, the Delaney 9100 and 8100 Series, and the Von Duprin 8827-3FT are all non-fire-rated. Match the device to what the door assembly and the AHJ require for the opening.
10) Do I have to order the Marks USA M9900VR handed?
No handing to specify. The M9900VR is non-handed and field reversible, so one device covers right hand and left hand openings with no extra parts. For a property manager stocking spares across a building, that means one part number on the shelf instead of two.
11) Can I hold the doors in a push-open state during business hours with the M9900VR?
Yes, with the hex key dogging that is standard on the device. An Allen type dogging key is furnished, so staff can dog the push bar down for free swing during open hours and undog it at close. Note that dogging is only permitted on openings where the door is not required to latch.
12) Should I use a surface vertical rod device or a mortise exit device on this opening?
A surface vertical rod like the M9900VR mounts on the face of the door and latches top and bottom, which is what lets a pair of doors work without a mullion, and it goes on hollow metal, wood or mineral core leaves. A mortise exit device pockets into the edge of the door and latches at the jamb, so it needs a mortise prep and suits a single door in a frame. The Detex 30 Advantex is the mortise route among the wide stile options, and it is not rated for wood doors.
13) Is the Detex 30 Advantex a substitute for the Marks USA M9900VR?
No. The Detex 30 Advantex Series (DET-30 36) is a super-heavy-duty Grade 1 mortise exit device for a 36 inch wide stile door, and it is not wood door compatible. The Marks USA M9900VR is a vertical rod device that latches at the top and bottom of the door and is intended for hollow metal, wood, and mineral core doors. A mortise device requires a mortise pocket in the door edge, so the two are not interchangeable in an existing prep.
14) Can I use a Detex Advantex 10 Series delayed egress device where the Marks USA M9900VR is specified?
They serve different purposes. The Detex Advantex 10 Series DEX-10EEX is a weatherized delayed egress exit device with a 100 dB alarm and NEMA 4X protection. The Marks USA M9900VR is a mechanical panic exit hardware device with hex key dogging and no alarm or egress delay. Use the delayed egress unit where the opening must be alarmed and hold for a delay before release; use the M9900VR where free mechanical egress is the requirement.
15) If I am standardizing exit devices across a school or campus, which of these vertical rod devices can I keep on one grade?
The Marks USA M9900VR is built to ANSI 156.3 (2001), Grade 1 and UL Listed For Panic Hardware, with applications including schools, universities, and other institutional or commercial buildings on single and double doors. Staying at Grade 1 across a facility, the Delaney 9100 Series (DLY-692301), Delaney 8100 Series (DLY-8100-3684), Imperial USA ED-VR531, Detex V50/V51 Value Series, and Von Duprin 8827-3FT are all Grade 1 vertical rod devices covering different door widths, trim functions, and stile types. The Cal-Royal 9860 sits at Grade 2, so it would break a Grade 1 standard.
16) What finishes does the Marks M9900VR vertical rod device come in?
Two: US32D satin stainless steel and US10B oil-rubbed dark bronze. Satin stainless is the usual match for institutional corridors and existing stainless push plates; the dark bronze reads better against bronze storefront and darker architectural trim. Both cover the same 48 x 84 device.
17) Will the M9900VR panic bar hold up in a school corridor?
It is a heavy duty commercial device aimed at schools, universities and other institutional buildings. Construction is heavy gauge extruded aluminum mechanism housing and push bar base, a steel plated chassis, and stainless steel touch plate and end caps. The end caps are mitered and flush mounted, and the case is designed with reduced projection so bags and carts do not catch it in a busy hallway.
