Von Duprin 2227EO 4 695 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I need a mullion to put Von Duprin 2227 devices on a pair of doors?
No mullion needed. A surface vertical rod device latches into a strike at the head and into the threshold or floor strike at the bottom, so each leaf secures on its own. That is the whole reason to pick vertical rod over a rim device: rim devices latch into the frame jamb or a removable mullion, so a pair of doors with a clear opening between them needs the mullion. Use the 2227 where you want the opening free of a center post.
2) How do I order the Von Duprin 2227 if I don't want a bottom rod tripping up the threshold?
Specify the less bottom rod option. The 2227 is orderable with or without the bottom rod. LBR is what most people use on retail and school openings where the floor gets wet or dirty, or where a bottom strike would be a trip and maintenance problem, and it lets the door swing clear of the floor condition. The device then latches at the top only. The Orca Hardware OED56 is another less bottom rod vertical rod device ZenSupply stocks if you want a lighter duty option.
3) Will the Von Duprin 2227 drop into my existing hollow metal door prep?
It covers stock hollow metal doors prepped with 86 or 161 cutouts, so a door already prepped for a cylindrical lock (161) or a mortise lock (86) can take the device without patching. Von Duprin publishes separate template indexes for hollow metal door prep, hollow metal trims and strikes, wood door prep, and wood door trims and strikes, so pull the one matching your door and trim before you drill. Latch throw is 3/4 inch and the device projects 3-3/4 inches off the door face, which is what you check against door swing clearance in a corridor.
4) Is the Von Duprin 2227 handed, and what do I have to specify when I order?
The device itself is non-handed, so you are not going to get a mirror-image part you can't use. Handing is still called out on the order as RHR or LHR because the trim and cylinder side has to match the opening. Beyond handing you pick a trim function (exit only, knob, lever, thumbpiece, night latch, or their blank escutcheon versions), dogging (hex key or less dogging), less bottom rod yes or no, and the AX accessible option. If you choose the L lever trim, you also pick the lever style: 06, 03, or 17.
5) Which Von Duprin 22 Series option meets the 5 pound ADA operating force requirement?
The AX accessible device option. It is certified to the 5 lb. operating force requirement of the 2010 ADA (Chapters 404.2.7 and 309.4) and the 2013 California Building Code (Chapter 11B-309.4). Specify AX at order time on the 2227; it is a build option, not something you add in the field. If you are also running electric latch retraction on an AX device, the matching retraction option is QELX, or HD-QELX if you want hex dogging with it.
6) How do I tie a Von Duprin 2227 into an access control system?
Two paths, and they answer different needs. For remote unlocking, order QEL quiet electric latch retraction (HD-QEL if you also want hex dogging). For monitoring only, RX gives you a request to exit signal off the pushpad, RX2 doubles it, and LX is a latch bolt monitor switch; LX-RX combines both, and the LC versions are the low current variants for boards with tight current budgets. ALK adds an alarm exit kit if you need the door to sound when used. CON common connectors handle the power supply or power transfer side of the integration.
7) Can I get key access from outside with the Von Duprin 2227, or is it exit only?
Both are available depending on the trim you specify. Order EO for exit only with no outside operation. For outside access, the trim options are K knob, L lever, TP thumbpiece, and NL night latch, with NL-OP adding a cylinder assembly with optional pull. The BE versions (K-BE, L-BE, TP-BE) come with a blank escutcheon where no cylinder is used. DT dummy trim gives the look with no function. On the L lever trim you also select the lever design: 06, 03, or 17.
8) The 2227 is not fire rated - what surface vertical rod device should be used on a fire rated opening instead?
The Von Duprin 2227 is catalogued with a fire rating of No, so a labeled opening needs a fire rated device. Fire rated surface vertical rod peers include the Adams Rite 3100 Series, a Grade 1 wide stile fire rated device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Arrow S1150, a fire rated exit only device that fits narrow or wide stile and 1-3/4 inch doors, the Sargent 2727, a Grade 1 fire rated reversible wide stile device, and the TownSteel EF9727, a Grade 1 heavy duty fire rated wide stile device that is wood door compatible. Fire rated vertical rod devices are supplied without dogging, unlike the hex key dogging offered on the 2227.
9) What is the closest wide stile surface vertical rod equivalent to the Von Duprin 2227 from another manufacturer?
The Von Duprin 2227 is a wide stile surface vertical rod exit device rated ANSI Grade 1 and non-handed. The closest peers in the same construction are the Corbin Russwin ED5400, a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device with a 1-3/4 inch door thickness listed as exit only and accepting trim, and the Sargent 3727, a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device with a standard push bar. The TownSteel ED8927 is also a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device and is listed as wood door compatible. The 2227 carries a 48 inch device size and hex key dogging, and adds trim functions ranging from exit only through knob, lever, thumbpiece and night latch, where the ED5400 and 3727 are catalogued exit only with trim accepted separately.
10) My aluminum storefront door has a stile narrower than 3-5/8 inches - what vertical rod device fits instead of the 2227?
The Von Duprin 2227 is a wide stile device and fits stiles as narrow as 3-5/8 inches, so a true narrow stile aluminum door needs a narrow stile device. Narrow stile surface vertical rod peers include the Adams Rite 8200 Series, a Grade 1 narrow stile life safety device, the Corbin Russwin ED4400, a Grade 1 narrow stile device for 1-3/4 inch doors that accepts trim, the Falcon 19-V-EO, a Grade 1 narrow stile exit only device, and the TownSteel ED3727, a Grade 1 narrow stile device that is wood door compatible. Measure the lock stile face before ordering, since the pushpad case and mounting pattern are what determine the fit.
11) Can I hold the Von Duprin 2227 pushpad down during business hours?
Yes, if you order it with HD hex key dogging. That holds the pushpad retracted so the door stays push/pull during high traffic periods, then you dog it back up at close. The alternative is LD, less dogging, which you order when the opening needs to stay latched at all times or when the device is going on an opening where dogging is not permitted. Pick one at order time; hex dogging is not something you add to an LD device later.
12) How much clearance do I need for the Von Duprin 2227 pushpad on the door face?
Allow 3-3/4 inches of projection from the door face. The center case measures 4-1/4 x 1-3/8 x 2-3/8 inches. That projection is what matters in a tight vestibule or where a door swings back against a wall, an adjacent leaf, or a wall stop, and it is the number to check before you commit on a narrow corridor. On a pair, remember both leaves carry the projection.
13) What is a simpler exit only vertical rod device to use where the 2227 trim options are not needed?
Where an opening needs egress only and no outside trim, the Von Duprin 2227 can be ordered in the EO exit only trim function, but several peers are built exit only from the start. The Falcon 25-V-EO is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod exit only device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Falcon 20 Series is a Grade 1 wide stile exit only device for the same door thickness, and the Arrow 3700 Series is a Grade 1 wide stile pushpad exit bar listed exit only and not fire rated. The Orca OED56 is an exit only device for 1-3/4 inch doors supplied less bottom rod in aluminum finish, which the 2227 also offers as a less bottom rod option.
14) Is a Grade 2 surface vertical rod device an acceptable substitute for the Von Duprin 2227?
The Von Duprin 2227 is certified ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1. Grade 2 surface vertical rod devices such as the Dexter ED2000 Series and the TownSteel TS5100 Series, a heavy duty wide stile device, are built to a lower ANSI cycle and strength grade. If a specification or facility standard calls for Grade 1 egress hardware, a Grade 2 device does not meet it, and the substitute should be a Grade 1 peer such as the Dexter ED1500 Series or the BEST Precision 2201, a wide stile surface vertical rod device.
15) The 2227 is non-handed - which comparable vertical rod devices are also field reversible?
The Von Duprin 2227 is a non-handed device, which removes handing from the order and the install. Among the comparable surface vertical rod devices, the BEST Precision 5201 is catalogued as reversible and the Sargent 2727 is a reversible Grade 1 fire rated wide stile device. The Orca OED56 is likewise non-handed. Devices catalogued to a single hand require the hand to be confirmed at the opening before ordering, which is the practical difference when standardizing a mixed set of doors across a property.
16) Is a crossbar exit device like the Corbin Russwin ED7400 the same thing as the Von Duprin 2227?
No. The Von Duprin 2227 is a push pad style device, where the actuator is a flat pad across the door face. The Corbin Russwin ED7400 is a Grade 1 narrow stile crossbar surface vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors that accepts operator trim, and the Sargent 3727 uses a standard push bar. Both latch the same top and bottom rods, but the actuator style, the door prep, and the appearance across a run of matching doors differ, so a crossbar device is not a visual or dimensional match for a push pad opening.
17) What looks like a substitute for the 2227 but will not provide panic egress?
The Sargent 12-8710 is a fire rated wide stile surface vertical rod device catalogued with a dummy function, meaning it matches the appearance of an active device but does not latch or release. The Von Duprin 2227 offers a DT dummy trim option for the same purpose on an inactive leaf. Ordering a dummy device onto a required egress door leaves the opening without panic hardware, so confirm the function before substituting: an active opening needs an exit only or trimmed function such as the Grade 1 Dexter ED1000 Series surface vertical rod device rather than a dummy.
18) What finishes does the Von Duprin 2227 exit device come in?
Four: 689 aluminum, 695 dark bronze, 526 chrome, and 622 matte black. On a fleet of openings the practical move is to standardize on one across the building, since 689 aluminum is what most existing commercial exit hardware already is and 622 matte black is the one people add when the storefront or entry has been updated. Trim is ordered separately by function, so match the finish across device and trim.
19) What surface vertical rod devices should be considered for a lower traffic opening than the 2227?
The Von Duprin 2227 is a commercial Grade 1 device intended for demanding traffic. Where the duty level is lighter, the Design Hardware 2000V is catalogued as a standard duty surface vertical rod device and the Orca OED56 is a standard duty exit only device for 1-3/4 inch doors supplied less bottom rod. The Design Hardware 1000V is the heavy duty device in that same family. None of these are fire rated, so they suit unlabeled openings only, the same restriction that applies to the 2227.
