Frequently Asked Questions

When should I use the 4200V instead of the 4200R?
The 4200V latches at the top and bottom of the door with surface mounted vertical rods, which suits a pair of doors without a mullion. The 4200R is a rim device with no rods that latches at the edge of the door.

Can the 4200 Series be dogged open?
Hex key dogging is standard, but it is not available on fire listed (F) versions of the device.

What door widths fit the 4200 Series?
The device is standard for 3' doors and can be cut down to a 27" minimum. A version for doors up to 4' is available on the 4200R and 4200V.

PDQ 4200VF689 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the PDQ 4200VF work on a pair of doors with no center mullion?
That is exactly what it's for. The 4200VF is a surface vertical rod device that latches at the head and the threshold with Pullman latches, so a pair of doors can be secured without a center mullion. On fire rated openings the pair is limited to a 6'0" x 7'0" maximum opening. If you're doing a single door instead, the 4200R rim device is the right model.
2) Can I dog the PDQ 4200VF open during business hours?
No. Hex key dogging is standard on the 4200 Series, but it is not available on the fire listed (F) devices, and the 4200VF is a fire rated model. Mechanical dogging would defeat the fire exit hardware listing. If you need to hold the leaf open, use the non-fire 4200V on a non-rated opening.
3) What is the PDQ 4200VF fire rating, and is it UL listed for panic?
The 4200VF is UL listed Fire Exit Hardware for up to 1-1/2 hours, and the 4200 Series is UL 305 listed for panic. It also complies with ADA and ICC/ANSI A117.1, and is TAA compliant, which matters on federally funded work.
4) Will the PDQ 4200VF fit my door stile and door thickness?
The device needs a minimum 4-1/4" stile as an exit only application, and stile requirement varies once you add trim. Door thickness is 1-3/4" standard, and the 2-3/4" backset drops into a standard 161 prep. On narrow aluminum stiles under 4-1/4", this wide stile device will not fit.
5) My doors are 8 feet tall. Do the vertical rods on the PDQ 4200VF reach?
Stock rods on the 4200VF cover 7' doors. For taller openings up to 10', rod extensions are available (PDQ parts 429021 and 429023). Order the extension along with the device so the install isn't held up.
6) Do I need to order a handed version of the PDQ 4200VF?
No handing to specify. The 4200VF is non-handed, so one device covers left or right hand leaves. That makes it easier to stock a single part number across a building.
7) What door widths does the PDQ 4200VF cover, and can the rail be cut down?
Standard build is for 3' doors (the blank size option), and the rail can be cut down to a 27" minimum. For leaves wider than 3' up to 4', the A size version is available on the 4200V and 4200R.
8) Will the latches on the PDQ 4200VF engage my existing top and bottom strikes?
Both Pullman latches throw 5/8", with the top latch deadlatching and the bottom latch held retracted while the door swings. That 5/8" throw is what your head and threshold strikes have to accept. By contrast the 4200R rim model uses a 3/4" throw deadlocking stainless latch bolt into a rim strike.
9) What fasteners come with the PDQ 4200VF for a fire rated opening?
Machine screws and wood screws are included, and sex nuts are supplied with all fire listed devices, which is what a fire door install generally requires for through-bolting. No plastic parts in the assembly: metal end caps and metal chassis cover over a corrosion resistant plated steel chassis.
10) What finishes is the PDQ 4200VF available in for matching the rest of my openings?
Six finishes: 626 satin chrome, 630 satin stainless steel, 689 aluminum, 693 black, 695 duro bronze and 696 gold. Each is its own part number, so a satin chrome unit orders as 4200VF626. Picking one finish code and holding to it is the simplest way to keep a multi-building fleet consistent.
11) What ANSI function type is the PDQ 4200VF, and is it suitable for school and hospital traffic?
It's an ANSI/BHMA Type 2 device, a commercial grade build with a plated steel chassis and a heavy gauge steel or stainless steel rail. PDQ lists schools, hospitals and commercial buildings as typical applications for the 4200 Series.
