Von Duprin 2227EO 3 695 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Von Duprin 2227 fit my door? What stile width and door thickness does it need?
The 2227 is a wide stile device and needs a stile of at least 3-5/8 inches (92 mm). Door thickness is 1-3/4 inches, and that is the only thickness it is built for, so a 1-3/8 inch door is out. The 3FT version is sized for a 36 inch leaf. Once mounted, the center case measures 4-1/4 x 1-3/8 x 2-3/8 inches and the device projects 3-3/4 inches off the door, which is worth checking against corridor clearance and anything mounted on the wall behind a door that swings flat.
2) Can I use the Von Duprin 2227 on a pair of doors with no center mullion?
That is exactly what a surface vertical rod device is for. Instead of latching sideways into a strike on a mullion, the 2227 throws a latch up into the frame head and down at the sill, each with a 3/4 inch throw, so a pair of them secures double doors across an open opening. It works the same way on a single door. If your opening already has a removable mullion, a rim device latching into the mullion is the simpler build and vertical rod hardware is not required.
3) Can the Von Duprin 2227-3FT go on a fire rated door?
No. The 2227-3FT is panic exit hardware, not fire exit hardware, and hex key dogging is part of why it does not belong on a labeled opening, since fire exit hardware cannot be dogged in the retracted position. For a fire rated wide stile surface vertical rod device on a 36 inch leaf, the TownSteel 9700 Series EF9727 is fire rated and ANSI Grade 1. The Adams Rite 3100 Series is another fire rated Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device, sized for a 30 inch leaf, and the Arrow S1150 is fire rated at 30 inches as well.
4) Will the Von Duprin 2227 cover the lock prep already in my hollow metal door?
Stock hollow metal doors cut with an 86 or 161 prep are covered by the 2227 and its trim, so a door already prepped for a mortise lock (the 86 cutout) or a cylindrical lock (161, the 2-1/8 inch cross bore) does not need patching before the device goes on. Von Duprin publishes 22 Series prep template indexes for hollow metal and for wood doors, plus separate template indexes for the trims and strikes, so the installer can lay out the exact hole pattern before drilling.
5) What do I have to specify when ordering a Von Duprin 2227 besides the device itself?
Trim is the decision that matters most. The 22 Series 2227 is built in ten trim configurations: DT dummy trim, EO exit only, K knob, K-BE knob with blank escutcheon, L lever, L-BE lever with blank escutcheon, NL night latch, NL-OP night latch cylinder assembly with optional pull, TP thumbpiece, and TP-BE thumbpiece with blank escutcheon. Those cover Classroom, Dummy, Exit Only, Passage and Storeroom functions, with 210 knob trim and 230 lever or thumbpiece trim as the matching outside trim. You also pick finish, whether you want the AX accessible build, and whether the device is less bottom rod.
6) Does the Von Duprin 2227 meet the 5 pound ADA operating force requirement?
In the AX build, yes. The AX configuration of the 2227 is UL certified to the 5 lb operating force limit under the 2010 ADA, Chapters 404.2.7 and 309.4, and the 2013 California Building Code, Chapter 11B-309.4. AX is an ordering choice, so if the opening is on an accessible route or you are buying for a California job, specify the AX version rather than the standard device.
7) What is the closest cross-brand equivalent to the Von Duprin 2227-3FT surface vertical rod exit device?
Match on grade, stile type, device length, and fire rating. The Von Duprin 2227-3FT is a Grade 1 wide stile 36 inch device for 1-3/4 inch doors that is not fire rated. The Corbin Russwin ED5400 is a Grade 1 36 inch wide stile surface vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors, not fire rated, exit only and accepts trim. The TownSteel ED8927 is a Grade 1 wide stile device at 36 by 84 inches, not fire rated. The Falcon 20 Series is a Grade 1 wide stile 36 inch device for 1-3/4 inch doors. The BEST Precision 2201 is a 36 inch wide stile device, not fire rated.
8) What does the less bottom rod option do on a surface vertical rod exit device like the 2227?
Less bottom rod deletes the bottom rod and the floor strike, so only the top latch secures the door. Crews specify it where the floor is uneven or sloped, where a threshold or carpet gets in the way, and in schools, kitchens and loading areas where a bottom rod collects dirt, gets kicked, and drifts out of adjustment. The 2227 is orderable either way, with bottom rod or less bottom rod. If less bottom rod is the requirement and brand is open, the Orca Hardware OED56 Series 36 inch device is built less bottom rod.
9) How do I hold the doors unlatched during business hours with a Von Duprin 2227?
Hex key dogging is built into the 2227. Put the hex key into the push pad mechanism and the pad stays depressed with the latches held retracted, so the door pushes open freely during business hours and relatches when you undog it. That is the standard approach for a lobby or a school corridor with heavy morning traffic. Dogging is never used on a fire rated opening, which is one of the reasons this device is a panic device rather than fire exit hardware.
10) Can a Von Duprin 2227 be monitored or tied into an access control system?
Two options cover that on the 22 Series 2227. RX is a push pad monitor that reports door status back to the panel, which is what an integrator uses to signal a legitimate exit and keep the alarm quiet. CON common connectors handle the wiring side, letting the device tie into a power supply or a power transfer at the hinge edge. Both are ordering options rather than field additions, so they get specified with the device.
11) I have a 36 inch door leaf. Can I use one of the 30 or 33 inch vertical rod exit devices instead?
Device length is matched to the width of the leaf, so a device sized for a 30 inch door does not belong on a 36 inch one. The 2227-3FT is the 36 inch (3 ft) size. Among the other surface vertical rod devices, the Adams Rite 3100, 8100 and 8200 are 30 inch, the Design Hardware 1000V and 2000V are 33 inch, and the Arrow 3700 is 30 inch. For a 3 ft leaf the same size options are the BEST Precision 2201 at 36 inches, the Corbin Russwin ED5400 at 36 inches, and the TownSteel ED8927 at 36 by 84 inches.
12) What is a comparable alternative to the Von Duprin 2227 in a 36 inch wide stile Grade 1 vertical rod device?
The closest cross-brand equivalents are the Corbin Russwin ED5400, Grade 1 wide stile at 36 inches for 1-3/4 inch doors and listed as exit only or accepting trim, and the TownSteel 8900 Series ED8927, Grade 1 wide stile at 36 by 84 inches and rated for wood doors. The BEST Precision 2201 is another 36 inch wide stile surface vertical rod device. Watch the trim question when you compare: the Falcon 20 Series and 25-V-EO are Grade 1 wide stile 36 inch devices listed as exit only, so if you need a keyed knob, lever or thumbpiece on the outside, the 2227 and the ED5400 are the ones set up for it.
13) Is the Von Duprin 2227 heavy duty enough for a high traffic school or hospital entrance?
It is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2008 Grade 1, the top of the three ANSI grades for exit devices, and carries UL 305 and CAN/ULC-S132 panic hardware listings. That is the specification level normally written for institutional entrances taking constant use. If you are cross shopping, note that the Dexter ED2000 Series and the TownSteel TS5100 Series surface vertical rod devices are Grade 2, a step down in the same standard.
14) Is the Sargent 12-8710 a substitute for the Von Duprin 2227-3FT?
No. The Sargent 12-8710 is a dummy function wide stile Grade 1 surface vertical rod device, fire rated. A dummy device gives the matching push-style appearance on an inactive or non-latching leaf. The Von Duprin 2227-3FT is a Grade 1 push pad panic device with a 3/4 inch latch throw and hex key dogging, UL listed to ANSI/UL 305 for panic exit hardware. Use the 12-8710 only where a dummy is wanted, and the 2227-3FT where the leaf has to latch and provide code-compliant panic egress. The 2227-3FT does offer a DT dummy trim option for its outside trim.
15) I need outside lever trim on the door. Which vertical rod devices accept trim the way the Von Duprin 2227-3FT does?
The Von Duprin 2227-3FT is ordered by trim function, including K knob, L lever, TP thumbpiece, NL night latch, DT dummy trim, and EO exit only, with 06, 03, and 17 lever styles on the L option. Among other brands, the Corbin Russwin ED5400 wide stile Grade 1 and the ED4400 narrow stile Grade 1 are exit only and accept trim, and the ED7400 accepts operator trim. Devices such as the Falcon 20 Series, Falcon 25-V-EO, Arrow 3700 Series, and Orca OED56 are exit only, so pulling from the outside is not part of their function.
16) What is a lighter grade alternative to the Von Duprin 2227-3FT for a low traffic service door?
The Von Duprin 2227-3FT carries an ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2008 Grade 1 rating. Where a Grade 2 device suits the opening, the Dexter ED2000 Series is a Grade 2 surface vertical rod panic device, not fire rated, and the TownSteel TS5100 is a Grade 2 heavy duty wide stile device sized 36 by 84 inches, not fire rated. The Design Hardware 2000V is a 33 inch standard duty surface vertical rod device, not fire rated. Confirm the facility's code and specification requirements before dropping below Grade 1, since many institutional specs call the grade out directly.
17) I want to get rid of the bottom rod and the floor strike. How does the Von Duprin 2227-3FT compare with the Orca OED56 for that?
Both cover a less bottom rod application on a 36 inch door. The Von Duprin 2227-3FT is ordered with a less bottom rod option, and it remains a Grade 1 device with hex key dogging and a full range of trim functions including lever, knob, thumbpiece, and night latch. The Orca Hardware OED56 comes as a 36 inch standard duty, non-handed, less bottom rod device in aluminum finish, exit only, for 1-3/4 inch doors and not fire rated. The Orca is a fixed exit only configuration, while the Von Duprin is configured by trim function and dogging at the time of order.
18) The door is wood rather than hollow metal. Does that change the choice between the Von Duprin 2227-3FT and other vertical rod devices?
The Von Duprin 22 Series publishes both hollow metal and wood door prep templates, along with separate trim and strike template indexes for each, so the 2227-3FT preps to either substrate. On stock hollow metal doors it covers 86 or 161 cutouts. Among other brands, the TownSteel ED8927, a Grade 1 wide stile 36 by 84 inch device, and the TownSteel EF9727, its fire-rated heavy duty counterpart, are both listed as wood door compatible. Whichever device is chosen, pull the correct template for the substrate before the door is machined.
19) Which vertical rod device has a crossbar instead of the push pad on the Von Duprin 2227-3FT?
The Von Duprin 2227-3FT is a push pad device with a 3-3/4 inch projection off the door face. The Corbin Russwin ED7400 is a Grade 1 crossbar surface vertical rod device at 36 inches for 1-3/4 inch doors that accepts operator trim, but it is a narrow stile device, so it is not a like-for-like swap on a wide stile opening. The Sargent 3727 is a Grade 1 wide stile exit only device with a standard push bar. Crossbar and push pad devices project differently, which matters where the door swings into a corridor or against a wall.
20) I need a fire-rated exit only device and the stile width on the opening is uncertain. What works alongside the Von Duprin 2227-3FT line?
The Von Duprin 2227-3FT is a wide stile device fitting stiles down to 3-5/8 inches, and it is not fire rated. The Arrow S1150 is a fire-rated surface vertical rod device supplied less trim as exit only, listed for narrow or wide stile doors at 1-3/4 inch thickness, in a 30 inch length. That narrow-or-wide stile listing is useful when the stile dimension on an existing door has not been confirmed yet. Where the stile is known to be wide and 36 inches is the right device length, the fire-rated TownSteel EF9727 at 36 by 84 inches is the wide stile route.
21) Do I need to know the door handing before ordering a Von Duprin 2227?
The device itself is non-handed, so the same 2227 goes on either leaf of a pair and you do not need to determine the swing before buying the device. For a property manager or maintenance shop that means one spare on the shelf covers every opening in the building rather than a left and a right.
22) What finishes does the Von Duprin 2227 come in for matching the rest of the hardware in a building?
Four finishes are available on the 2227: 526 chrome, 622 matte black, 689 aluminum, and 695 dark bronze. 689 aluminum is the usual match for existing painted-aluminum exit hardware in an older commercial building, 695 dark bronze pairs with bronze storefront, and 622 matte black is the one to pick for newer black-hardware packages. Since the device is non-handed, one finish and one part number can cover both leaves of a pair.
23) What is the difference between the non-handed Von Duprin 2227-3FT and a reversible vertical rod device?
The Von Duprin 2227-3FT is non-handed, so one device covers either hand of door without the installer setting anything. A reversible device is built so the handing can be changed, typically at install. The BEST Precision 5201 is a 36 inch reversible surface vertical rod device, not fire rated. The Sargent 2727 is a reversible Grade 1 fire-rated wide stile exit only device. For a property manager stocking spares across a building, a non-handed or reversible device means one part number covers both leaves of a pair; the practical difference is whether any handing step happens on site.
24) Can I put a 30 inch or 33 inch vertical rod exit device on an opening specified for the Von Duprin 2227-3FT?
The Von Duprin 2227-3FT is a 36 inch device sized for a 3 foot door. Several comparable devices are supplied at shorter lengths: the Adams Rite 8100 Series and 8200 Series and the Arrow 3700 Series at 30 inches, and the Design Hardware 1000V heavy duty and 2000V standard duty at 33 inches. Device length has to suit the leaf width, so measure the actual door before substituting a shorter device onto an opening laid out for a 36 inch chassis, since the push pad reach and the mounting hole pattern both move with it.
25) Which Dexter surface vertical rod devices line up with the Von Duprin 2227-3FT on grade?
The Von Duprin 2227-3FT is Grade 1 for 1-3/4 inch doors. On the Dexter side, the ED1000 Series and the ED1500 Series are both Grade 1 surface vertical rod exit devices, with the ED1500 listed as not fire rated. The Dexter ED2000 Series is a Grade 2 surface vertical rod panic device, so it sits at a different rating tier from the 2227-3FT. If a specification calls for Grade 1 by name, the ED1000 or ED1500 are the Dexter lines that answer it.
