Marks USA M9900VR-36X84-32D-1 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the Marks USA MVR8 and do I get a whole exit device with it?
The MVR8 is a replacement top rod for a Marks USA M9900VR Series surface vertical rod exit device, cut long for an 8 foot tall door. It's the rod alone, not a device. If your M9900VR is already on the door and the top rod is bent, missing, or too short after a door swap, this is the part that gets it latching at the head again. If you don't have an M9900VR on the opening yet, you need a complete vertical rod device, not this rod.
2) Will the MVR8 top rod work on a standard 7 foot door?
No. The MVR8 is sized for 8 foot door heights on the M9900VR Series. On a 7 foot opening the rod runs long and won't set up correctly, so you want the standard-length top rod for that device instead. Rod length is the whole point of this part number.
3) Will a Marks USA MVR8 rod fit a Von Duprin or Detex vertical rod device?
It won't. The MVR8 is built as a component of the Marks USA M9900VR Series and is matched to that device's mechanism. Rod kits are not interchangeable between makers, so a Von Duprin 88 Series or a Detex 50/51 Series device needs that manufacturer's own top rod. If you're replacing a competitor's device outright rather than servicing it, the Von Duprin 8827 and the Detex 50/51 narrow stile device are both surface vertical rod units we carry.
4) My 8 foot pair of doors won't stay latched at the top. Is the rod the problem?
Often it is. A surface vertical rod device latches at the head and at the threshold, and on a tall door the top rod carries the most travel and takes the most abuse. If the bottom latch engages but the top doesn't, or the top latch only catches sometimes, a bent or wrong-length top rod is the usual cause on an M9900VR. The MVR8 is the 8 foot top rod for that device, and it's a rod-only swap rather than a full device replacement.
5) The 8ft opening is a fire rated door. Can the MVR8 be used there?
The MVR8 carries no fire rating, so it does not serve a fire rated opening. Among vertical rod devices that do, the Delaney F9100 Series DLY-694300 is a Grade 1 fire rated heavy duty vertical rod type device for a 36 by 84 inch door in an aluminum finish. Note that fire rated openings also rule out the hex key dogging the MVR8 is configured for, since dogging holds the latch retracted.
6) What is the difference between the Marks USA MVR8 top rod extension and a complete surface vertical rod exit device like the Von Duprin 8827?
They are not the same class of part. The MVR8 is a replacement top rod extension for the M9900VR Series, sized for 8ft door heights so the rod travel and latching stay correct on a taller opening. The Von Duprin 8827-3FT is a complete wide stile surface vertical rod exit device in the 88 Series, Grade 1, for 1-3/4 inch doors. If the existing M9900VR device on the door is sound and only the top rod needs to reach an 8ft height, the MVR8 keeps that device in service. If the device itself is being replaced, a complete unit such as the 8827-3FT is what goes on the door.
7) The opening is a standard 36 by 84 inch door, not 8ft. What vertical rod device fits instead?
The MVR8 is built for 8ft door heights, so it does not apply to an 84 inch opening. For a 36 by 84 inch door, the Delaney 9100 Series DLY-692301 is a Grade 1 heavy duty vertical rod type device sized for 36 by 84 inch 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 by 84 inch opening.
8) Does replacing the top rod change how the door dogs down?
No. Dogging on the M9900VR is hex key operated, and that function lives in the device chassis, not in the rod. Swapping in the MVR8 top rod restores the latching travel; you still hold the pushbar down with the hex key for a scheduled open period the same way. Keep the hex wrench with the building keys, because there's no cylinder dogging option in play here.
9) Is the Marks USA M9900VR exit only, or can I get outside lever trim with it?
Exit only. The M9900VR configuration this rod serves is a push-to-exit device with no outside trim, so the door is not openable from the pull side. If the tenant needs keyed entry from outside, that's a different device: the Detex V50/V51 Value Series vertical rod comes with lever trim that's active by key and locked when the key is removed.
10) Does the M9900VR latch stay locked if someone pushes on the door from outside?
The latch specification is deadlatching, which means the latch is blocked from being pushed back once the door closes and the latch seats. That's what stops a card or shim from retracting it. The MVR8 top rod is what carries that latching action up to the head strike on an 8 foot leaf, so a worn or wrong rod undoes the benefit.
11) Do I need to order anything else to swap a top rod on an M9900VR?
Only one model ships under MVR8, so there's no length, finish, or handing to specify. You'll want a hex wrench on hand since the device dogs by hex key, and the top strike at the head should be checked for wear while the rod is out. If the bottom rod is also damaged, that's a separate part; the MVR8 covers the top only.
12) The door is a narrow stile aluminum storefront, not a wide stile. Is there a vertical rod device for that?
The MVR8 is a rod component for the M9900VR Series and is not selected by stile width. When the device itself has to suit a narrow stile door, the Detex Advantex 50/51 Series DTX- 5001DN/5101DN is a Grade 1 narrow stile surface vertical rod exit device with a blank escutcheon. Wide stile units such as the Detex V50/V51 Value Series DTX- V5009BN/V5109BN or the Imperial USA ED-VR531 will not suit a narrow stile.
13) We need exit only vertical rod hardware, no outside trim. What complete devices match that function?
The MVR8 is exit only, but it is a rod component rather than a full device. Complete vertical rod devices with the same exit only function include the Imperial USA ED-VR531, a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device in the ED-500 Series, and the Cal-Royal 9860 surface vertical rod exit device, heavy duty and Grade 2. Where outside key control is wanted instead, the Detex V50/V51 Value Series DTX- V5009BN/V5109BN carries lever trim active by key and locked when the key is removed.
14) For a high abuse opening, is there heavier vertical rod hardware than what the M9900VR system uses?
The MVR8 is built to heavy-duty commercial standards as part of the M9900VR Series. Where the spec calls for a step above that, the Detex 30 Advantex Series DET-30 36 is a super-heavy-duty Grade 1 device for a 36 inch wide stile door, though it is a mortise exit device rather than vertical rod and is not compatible with wood doors. The Cal-Royal 9860 is a heavy duty Grade 2 surface vertical rod device that keeps the vertical rod format.
15) Can a Grade 1 vertical rod device be substituted for the M9900VR system to standardize a facility?
For standardizing across a facility, Grade 1 vertical rod devices in the set include the Delaney 9100 Series DLY-692301, the Delaney 8100 Series DLY-8100-3684, the Imperial USA ED-VR531 in the ED-500 Series, and the Von Duprin 8827-3FT in the 88 Series. The MVR8 top rod extension is matched to the M9900VR Series and does not carry over to those devices, so an opening converted to another brand takes that brand's own rods rather than the MVR8.
16) Is the MVR8 rod suitable for a residential door, or is it commercial only?
Commercial. It belongs to panic exit hardware on a device rated for commercial egress openings, the kind found in schools, healthcare buildings, offices and warehouses with tall leaves. It is not a residential part, and it isn't ADA compliant hardware. If ADA compliance is on your spec, the Cal-Royal 9860 surface vertical rod device is the ADA compliant option we carry.
17) Does a delayed egress device like the Detex 10EEX do the same job as replacing the top rod with an MVR8?
No. The MVR8 restores or extends top rod reach on an existing M9900VR Series vertical rod device for an 8ft door, with deadlatching and hex key dogging. The Detex Advantex 10 Series DEX-10EEX is a weatherized delayed egress exit device with a 100 dB alarm and NEMA 4X protection, which is a different control strategy for the opening rather than a rod component. Swapping to delayed egress means replacing the device and changing how egress is managed, not servicing the rod.
