Von Duprin 2227-EO-689-3 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Von Duprin 2227EO fit a 3-5/8 inch door stile?
Yes. The 2227 surface vertical rod device fits stiles as narrow as 3-5/8 inches (92 mm), even though it is classed as a wide stile device. Anything narrower than that and you need a true narrow stile device instead, like the Falcon 19-V-EO or the Corbin Russwin ED4400.
2) What door thickness does the Von Duprin 2227EO exit device require?
1-3/4 inches, the standard commercial door thickness. It's a single-thickness device, so a 1-3/8 inch door is out of range.
3) Is the Von Duprin 2227 exit device handed?
No handing to specify. The 2227 is non-handed, so one device covers left and right hand openings and you can stock a single part number across a building.
4) Can the 2227EO go on a pair of doors without a mullion?
Yes. Surface vertical rod devices latch at the head and the threshold rather than into a strike on the jamb, so a pair of 2227 devices secures double doors with no center mullion. The 2227 is listed for all types of single and double doors. If you'd rather run a rim device on a pair, you need a removable mullion instead, which the 22 Series offers as an accessory.
5) Will the Von Duprin 2227 mount on an existing hollow metal door prep?
It covers stock hollow metal door cutouts of the 86 and 161 types, so on a standard prepped hollow metal door you're not patching or filling. The top and bottom bolts are deadlocking anti-friction with a 5/8 inch throw, which is what has to engage your head strike and threshold strike.
6) What does EO mean on the Von Duprin 2227EO, and can I add outside trim later?
EO is exit only, meaning no outside trim. The door opens from the inside by pushing the pad and there's no lever, knob, or key entry from the corridor side. If you need outside access, order a trimmed function from the 22 Series instead: 210 knob trim comes in classroom, storeroom, and dummy, and 230 lever or thumbpiece trim comes in classroom. On the comparables side, the Corbin Russwin ED5400 is a wide stile exit only device that accepts trim.
7) Does the Von Duprin 2227 have dogging, and can I hold the door in push-pull?
Hex key dogging is the standard option, which lets you dog the pushpad down so the door pushes free during business hours. A less dogging version is also offered, which is what you order for a fire rated opening where dogging isn't permitted. Note that if you add the ALK alarm kit, the standard hex dogging is removed; on 3 foot or 4 foot doors you can move the ALK to the hinge side of the device and add standard cylinder dogging instead.
8) Which switch option do I order on a Von Duprin 2227 for access control monitoring?
Four switch choices: RX request to exit, RX2 request to exit double switch, LX latchbolt monitor, or none. RX signals from the pushpad, so it tells the panel someone pushed to exit. LX monitors the latchbolt itself, so it reports whether the door actually latched. RX2 gives you two independent RX outputs when you need to feed two systems. One caveat on ordering: the signal switch can't be combined with a latch retraction option.
9) Can I get a Von Duprin 2227 with electric latch retraction and an exit alarm together?
No. Latch retraction options can't be added while the ALK alarm kit is fitted, so you pick one or the other. Quiet Electric Latch Retraction is offered as an alternative to manual cylinder dogging, and you can still add standard hex dogging alongside it. If the alarmed local exit is what the job needs, order ALK and drop the latch retraction.
10) Does the Von Duprin 2227 meet ADA operating force requirements?
With the AX option, yes. The AX accessible device is UL certified to a 5 lb operating force requirement for the 2010 ADA (Chapters 404.2.7 and 309.4) and the 2013 California Building Code (Chapter 11B-309.4). AX is a choice you make when ordering, so specify it if the opening has to meet that force limit.
11) Is the Von Duprin 2227 Grade 1 and UL listed for panic hardware?
Grade 1 under ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2008, and UL listed for panic exit hardware. The 22 Series also carries ANSI/UL 305, CAN/ULC-S132, and for fire rated configurations ANSI/UL 10C and CAN/ULC-S104. Certifications are specific to each configuration, so the fire ratings apply to fire rated builds of the device.
12) What is the closest equivalent to a Von Duprin 2227EO surface vertical rod exit device from another manufacturer?
The Von Duprin 2227EO is a wide stile, Grade 1 surface vertical rod device in exit only function, meaning no outside trim. The closest matches by construction are the Falcon 25-V-EO, a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device in exit only function, and the Falcon 20 Series, also Grade 1 wide stile exit only. The Corbin Russwin ED5400 is another Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device, though its function is exit only that accepts trim, so it can be dressed with outside hardware later if the opening changes. Sargent's 3727 is a Grade 1 wide stile exit only surface vertical rod device as well.
13) Which surface vertical rod exit devices are fire rated for a stairwell or corridor opening?
Fire rated surface vertical rod devices in the same class 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 suits narrow or wide stile on 1-3/4 inch doors, the Sargent 2727, a Grade 1 fire rated wide stile reversible exit only device, and the TownSteel EF9727, a Grade 1 fire rated heavy duty wide stile device rated for wood doors. Note that fire rated openings cannot be dogged down, so the hex key dogging offered on the Von Duprin 2227EO is a feature you would forgo on a fire door.
14) What surface vertical rod exit device should I use on a wood door?
TownSteel states wood door compatibility across its surface vertical rod line: the EF9727 is a Grade 1 fire rated heavy duty wide stile device for wood doors, the ED8927 is a Grade 1 wide stile device for wood doors, and the ED3727 is the Grade 1 narrow stile equivalent. The Von Duprin 2227EO is specified for stock hollow metal doors with 86 or 161 cutouts, so on a wood opening the TownSteel devices are the direct path.
15) The 2227EO needs a 3-5/8 inch stile. What surface vertical rod device works on a narrow stile aluminum door?
The Von Duprin 2227EO fits door stiles as narrow as 3-5/8 inches and is built as a wide stile device. For a true narrow stile opening, the Falcon 19-V-EO is a Grade 1 narrow stile surface vertical rod device in exit only function, and the Corbin Russwin ED4400 is a Grade 1 narrow stile surface vertical rod device that accepts trim. Falcon's 24-V-EO is also Grade 1 narrow stile exit only. TownSteel's ED3727 covers narrow stile at Grade 1 and is rated for wood doors. Adams Rite offers the 8200 Series as a Grade 1 narrow stile surface vertical rod device.
16) What looks like a substitute for the 2227EO but will not work as one?
Two to watch. The Sargent 12-8710 is a Grade 1 wide stile fire rated surface vertical rod device, but its function is dummy, a rigid trim for pull operation with no latching, so it cannot replace the exit only Von Duprin 2227EO on an egress door. The Orca Hardware OED56 is a surface vertical rod exit only device supplied less bottom rod, which changes the securing points at the opening compared with the 2227EO's top and bottom bolt arrangement. Both read as vertical rod devices in a search and neither drops in.
17) How far does the Von Duprin 2227 stick out from the door face?
Projection is 3-3/4 inches, and the center case measures 4-1/4 x 1-3/8 x 2-3/8 inches. That projection is the number to check against a tight vestibule, a return wall, or a door that swings into a corridor with clearance limits.
18) What size 2227 do I order for a 36 inch door versus a 48 inch door?
Two device lengths are offered, 36 inch and 48 inch, matching 3 foot and 4 foot door widths. Order the device to the door leaf width, not to the opening.
19) What is the difference between a surface vertical rod exit device and a rim exit device?
A surface vertical rod device like the Von Duprin 2227 runs rods up and down the door face and latches into a strike at the head and one at the threshold. That's what lets it secure a pair of doors with no mullion between them, and it's what you want on double door openings. A rim device latches into a single strike on the frame or on a removable mullion, so it's simpler to install and easier to service, but on a pair it needs that mullion in the middle of the opening. The 22 Series covers both rim and surface vertical configurations, so you can standardize on one series across a building.
20) Is there a cheaper or lighter duty alternative to a Grade 1 surface vertical rod device?
If the opening doesn't need Grade 1, the Dexter ED2000 Series and the TownSteel TS5100 Series are Grade 2 surface vertical rod devices, and the Design Hardware 2000V is a standard duty vertical rod. Those suit lower traffic openings. For high traffic entrances, an interior stair, or anywhere a facility standardizes on one spec, stay Grade 1 as the Von Duprin 2227 is.
21) Can I get a less bottom rod version of the Von Duprin 2227 to avoid the threshold strike?
The 2227 is a full top and bottom bolt device with a 5/8 inch throw at both, so the bottom rod runs to a threshold strike. If the floor condition rules out a bottom strike, and a lot of retrofits do, the Orca Hardware OED56 Series 36 inch is carried as a less bottom rod exit only vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors.
22) Is there a lower duty alternative to the Von Duprin 2227EO for a low traffic exit door?
The Von Duprin 2227EO is ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1 certified. For an opening that does not need Grade 1, the Dexter ED2000 Series is a Grade 2 surface vertical rod panic device and the TownSteel TS5100 Series is a Grade 2 heavy duty wide stile surface vertical rod device. Design Hardware also splits its line by duty: the 2000V Series is a standard duty surface vertical rod device, while the 1000V Series is heavy duty. Grade 2 devices carry a lower ANSI cycle and strength rating, so confirm the opening's specification allows it before substituting.
23) The 2227EO is non-handed. Which other surface vertical rod devices can be installed either hand?
The Von Duprin 2227EO is a non-handed design, so one part number covers left and right hand openings. Among the alternatives, the BEST Precision 5201 Series is a reversible surface vertical rod device, and the Sargent 2727 is a reversible Grade 1 wide stile exit only device. The Orca Hardware OED56 is likewise supplied non-handed. For a property manager standardizing across a building, a non-handed or reversible device cuts the number of distinct part numbers you have to stock.
24) What finishes does the Von Duprin 2227 come in for matching existing doors?
Four finishes: 689 aluminum, 695 dark bronze, 626 style 526 chrome, and 622 matte black. 689 aluminum and 695 dark bronze are the two that most often match existing hardware in a commercial building, and 622 matte black is the one to pick for a blackened storefront or a modern interior package.
25) Which surface vertical rod exit devices work on a 1-3/4 inch door besides the Von Duprin 2227EO?
The Von Duprin 2227EO is built for a 1-3/4 inch door thickness. Peers listing the same 1-3/4 inch door thickness include the Adams Rite 3100 Series, the Arrow 3700 Series wide stile pushpad exit bar, the Arrow S1150, the Corbin Russwin ED5400 and ED4400, the Falcon 20 Series, 25-V-EO, 24-V-EO and 19-V-EO, and the Orca Hardware OED56. That covers both wide and narrow stile in one door thickness, so the deciding factors become stile width, fire rating, and whether the door needs outside trim.
26) Is there a non fire rated life safety surface vertical rod device to pair with a 2227EO on a non rated opening?
The Adams Rite 8100 Series is a Grade 1 wide stile life safety surface vertical rod device that is not fire rated, and the 8200 Series is the Grade 1 narrow stile version. The BEST Precision 2201 Series is a wide stile surface vertical rod device that is also not fire rated. On a non rated egress door these sit alongside the Von Duprin 2227EO, which is Grade 1 wide stile with hex key dogging so the door can be held in a push-open state during business hours.
