Rockwood VRT22 Vandal Resistant Trim, Cut for Cylinder

Yes, handing is part of the order. The VRT22 comes as LHR (left hand reverse) or RHR (right hand reverse), so determine the swing at the opening before you order. Pull the wrong hand and the grip sits on the wrong side of the door for the exit device it is mounting with.

The C means the trim is cut for a cylinder, so it has the prep for a rim or mortise cylinder to pass through for keyed outside access. Order it as VRT22C. If you do not need a keyed function, that cylinder cutout is not something you want in the plate.

Give the make and model number of the exit device. Rockwood mounts the VRT22 using the exit device's own fastening system, so the hole pattern follows that device. Without the device make and model the trim can arrive prepped for a pattern that does not line up with your through-bolts.

The Rockwood VRT22 is a stainless steel vandal resistant trim prepped cut for cylinder, so it accepts a cylinder and works on an opening where the outside trim must key. The Ives VR810-DT STD/VR814-DT is a vandal resistant dummy trim with a ligature resistant design, meaning it is a pull only with no cylinder function. If the opening needs keyed outside access, the cylinder prep on the VRT22 is the deciding detail; if the outside trim is meant to be permanently inoperable, the Ives dummy is the matching function.

The Rockwood VRT22 can be mounted with exit device fastening systems, but the make and model number of the exit device must be specified when ordering so the trim is prepped to match. If you want trim built specifically around Von Duprin devices without that step, the Ives VR910-DT/VR914-DT is a vandal resistant dummy trim designed for Von Duprin exit devices. The trade-off is function: the VR910-DT is dummy only, while the VRT22 is cut for cylinder.

They are not the same thing. The Rockwood VRT22 is a stainless steel vandal resistant trim with a soft black textured grip, cut for cylinder, used across institutional, educational, detention and similar buildings. Ligature resistance is a separate design attribute, and among the vandal resistant trims it is the Ives VR810-DT STD/VR814-DT that is specified with a ligature resistant design. If the specification on your drawing calls for ligature resistance, verify that requirement against the Ives dummy trim rather than assuming vandal resistant trim covers it.

Cut for cylinder, so it takes a cylinder for keyed outside operation on a keyed-removable-mullion or keyed exit device application. That is the difference from the dummy trims in this category, such as the Ives VR810-DT STD/VR814-DT, which is a dummy function and is pull-only with no cylinder operation.

That is the intent. The VRT22 is stainless steel with a soft black textured grip, and Rockwood trim of this type is used on institutional buildings, schools, detention, sports facilities and hospitality. Stainless resists the prying and impact that break cast or plated trim on heavily used exterior doors.

US32D only, satin stainless steel. That is the standard commercial finish (equivalent to 630), so it matches the satin stainless push plates, pulls and exit devices already on most institutional openings. The grip itself is a soft black texture against the satin plate.

It is the outside trim only, a vandal resistant pull plate prepped for a cylinder. The latching is done by the exit device on the inside of the door. You still need the exit device, and the cylinder, ordered separately.

Go to a dummy trim. Ives offers the VR910-DT/VR914-DT vandal resistant dummy trim for Von Duprin exit devices, and the VR910M-DT/VR914M-DT mortise dummy version with a lock protector in 11-gauge stainless steel. Both are dummy function, pull only. Use the Rockwood VRT22C instead when the outside has to be keyed.

The Rockwood VRT22 is a stainless steel vandal resistant trim cut for cylinder, sized as trim rather than as a lock cover. For a mortise opening where the lock itself needs shielding, the Ives VR910M-DT/VR914M-DT is a vandal resistant mortise dummy trim with a lock protector built in 11-gauge stainless steel. Note it is a dummy function, so it does not carry a cylinder the way the VRT22 does.

Yes - the Rockwood VRT22 cut for cylinder is ordered as LHR left hand or RHR right hand, so the door hand has to be confirmed at the opening before the order goes in. The comparable Ives vandal resistant trims, the VR810-DT STD/VR814-DT, VR910-DT/VR914-DT and VR910M-DT/VR914M-DT, are all dummy function, which is the more meaningful difference when you are cross-shopping: none of them takes a cylinder the way the VRT22 does.

It is a commercial product. The VRT22 is built for institutional and commercial openings, mounted to exit devices, and it is not a residential entry trim. For a house you would be looking at a standard entry set, not exit device trim.
