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

1) Will the Von Duprin 2227F work on a fire rated door assembly?
That's what the F in 2227F means. The 22 Series surface vertical rod device is fire rated and UL listed for both Panic Exit Hardware and Fire Hardware, certified to ANSI/UL 10C and CAN/ULC-S104, and it meets ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2008 Grade 1. One consequence you have to plan for: fire rated exit devices cannot be dogged down, so this one ships less dogging even though the 22 Series platform uses hex key dogging on its non-fire models. If you want to hold the door in a push-latched state during business hours, a fire opening is not where you do it.
2) What is the minimum door stile width for the Von Duprin 2227F vertical rod exit device?
3-5/8 inches (92 mm). It is a wide stile device, so on an aluminum storefront door with a 2 inch or 2-1/2 inch stile it will not mount, and you want a narrow stile device instead. Von Duprin publishes a device projection of 3-3/4 inches off the door face, which is the other number to check if the door swings into a corridor with clearance limits or sits next to a wall return.
3) Do I need to specify handing when ordering a Von Duprin 22 Series vertical rod exit device?
The device itself is non-handed, so the chassis works either way. But handing is still a required selection when you order, RHR or LHR, because it drives the trim and the rod and strike arrangement on the opening. If you are stocking spares across a building, the non-handed chassis is what keeps the shelf count down.
4) Can a surface vertical rod exit device secure a pair of doors with no center mullion?
Yes, and that is the main reason to pick this type. A surface vertical rod device latches at the head and at the threshold rather than into a strike on the jamb, so a pair of doors can be held with nothing between them and you get a full clear opening when both leaves swing. The alternative is a rim device, which latches into a strike and needs a removable mullion between the leaves on a pair. Rim is simpler to install and has less to go out of adjustment; vertical rod buys you the open middle. On this 36 inch device the rods and latches are exposed on the door face with a 3-3/4 inch projection, so it is also the easier of the two to service later compared with a concealed vertical rod.
5) Can I get a Von Duprin 22 Series exit device with electric latch retraction for access control?
Yes. QEL quiet electric latch retraction is available, and QELX for AX accessible devices. Separately you can add monitoring and alarm options: RX request to exit, RX2 double request to exit, LX latch bolt monitor switch, LX-LC low current latch bolt monitoring, LX-RX combined latch bolt monitoring and request to exit, LX-RX-LC the low current version of that, and ALK alarm exit kit. The 22 Series also supports CON common connectors and power transfers for getting the wiring across the hinge edge. Since this is a fire rated device, whatever you specify has to fail secure to a latched condition on power loss, so the electric latch retraction option is about remote unlocking of the outside trim, not about holding the latches retracted on a fire door.
6) Does the Von Duprin 2227F meet ADA operating force requirements?
With the AX accessible device option, yes. AX meets the 5 lb operating force requirement of 2010 ADA Chapters 404.2.7 and 309.4. It is a selectable option, so the device has to be ordered as AX to get it, and if you are pairing it with electric latch retraction the matching option is QELX rather than QEL. For a school, healthcare facility, or any opening on an accessible route, specify AX.
7) Will the Von Duprin 2227F mount on a hollow metal door with a 161 prep?
Yes. The 22 Series is designed for standard commercial hollow metal doors including those with 86 or 161 cutouts, and Von Duprin publishes separate hollow metal door prep templates as well as trim and strike templates for the series. There are matching wood door template sets too, so the device covers both hollow metal and wood door construction as long as the stile is at least 3-5/8 inches and the door is 1-3/4 inches thick.
8) What is the difference between the Von Duprin 2227F and a narrow stile vertical rod exit device?
Stile width is the whole decision. The 2227F is wide stile and needs at least 3-5/8 inches of stile to land on, which suits hollow metal and wood doors. If you are working on an aluminum storefront or any door with a slim vertical rail, you need a narrow stile device instead, such as the Corbin Russwin ED4400 or the Falcon 19-V-EO, both Grade 1 narrow stile surface vertical rod devices for 1-3/4 inch doors. Neither of those is fire rated in our records, so on a fire opening the narrow stile route changes what you can use. Measure the stile before you order; a wide stile device on a narrow stile door has nowhere to fasten.
9) Can I substitute a non-fire-rated vertical rod exit device on a fire door if the size and grade match?
No, and this is the substitution that gets caught on inspection. Several 36 inch Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod devices look like drop-in equals on paper, the Falcon 20 Series, the Corbin Russwin ED5400, the TownSteel ED8927, the BEST Precision 2201, but each of those is recorded as not fire rated. A fire door assembly needs hardware carrying a fire listing, which on the 2227F is ANSI/UL 10C and CAN/ULC-S104 with a UL Fire Hardware listing. Use the non-rated devices on life safety and egress openings that carry no fire label; on a labeled door, stay with a rated device.
10) Will the Von Duprin 2227F latch into my existing top and bottom strikes?
The 2227F latches with a 3/4 inch throw at both the head and the sill, so the existing strikes need to be positioned and pocketed for that engagement, and the rods have to line up with them. In practice, replacing a different manufacturer's surface vertical rod device means new strikes: rod spacing off the door edge and strike geometry are not standardized between brands. Von Duprin publishes trim and strike templates for the 22 Series covering both hollow metal and wood doors, and those are what you lay out against the door and frame before you commit. Plan on new top and bottom strikes unless you are replacing another Von Duprin 22 Series device.
11) What is the closest fire rated surface vertical rod exit device to the Von Duprin 2227F if I need a different brand on the same fire rated opening?
The Von Duprin 2227F-3FT is a fire rated, Grade 1, wide stile surface vertical rod exit device for 1-3/4 inch doors. Two peers carry the same fire rating on a wide stile surface vertical rod device: the Adams Rite 3100 Series 30 inch, which is Grade 1, wide stile and listed for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the TownSteel 9700 Series EF9727, a Grade 1 wide stile heavy duty device sized 36 inch by 84 inch and rated for wood doors. The Sargent 2727 is also Grade 1 fire rated and wide stile, in an exit only function. Note the Adams Rite 3100 is a 30 inch device against the Von Duprin's 36 inch size, so confirm the device length against the door width before ordering.
12) My opening is not fire rated and I only need exit only with no trim. What can I use instead of the Von Duprin 2227F?
The 2227F-3FT is a fire rated device that also supports knob, lever, thumbpiece, night latch and dummy trim functions. On a non fire rated opening needing exit only, the Falcon 20 Series is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device in an exit only function for 1-3/4 inch doors at 36 inch, as is the Falcon 25-V-EO at 3 ft wide stile. The Corbin Russwin ED5400 is a Grade 1 wide stile 36 inch device in an exit only function that accepts trim if trim is added later. The Arrow 3700 Series is another Grade 1 wide stile pushpad exit only device for 1-3/4 inch doors. All four are listed non fire rated, so they do not belong on a fire rated door assembly.
13) My aluminum storefront door has a narrow stile. Will the Von Duprin 2227F fit, and what should I order instead?
No. The 2227F-3FT is built for wide stile doors and needs a minimum stile width of 3-5/8 inch, so a narrow stile aluminum door will not take it. For a narrow stile opening that still needs a fire rating, the Arrow S1150 is a fire rated surface vertical rod exit device for narrow or wide stile doors at 1-3/4 inch thickness. Where the opening is not fire rated, narrow stile options include the Corbin Russwin ED4400, a Grade 1 narrow stile 36 inch device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Falcon 19-V-EO Grade 1 narrow stile 36 inch exit only device, the Adams Rite 8200 Series Grade 1 narrow stile device, and the TownSteel ED3727, a Grade 1 narrow stile 36 inch by 84 inch device.
14) Is the Sargent 12-8710 a substitute for the Von Duprin 2227F on an active door?
No. The Sargent 12-8710 is a fire rated wide stile surface vertical rod device in a Grade 1 dummy function, which means it does not latch or release an opening. The Von Duprin 2227F-3FT is a working fire rated device with a 3/4 inch latch throw and hex key dogging. A dummy device belongs on the inactive leaf of a pair for appearance match, not on the active egress door. If the goal is a matching fire rated working device from another brand, the Sargent 2727 is Grade 1 fire rated wide stile in an exit only function.
15) What does less bottom rod mean and should I order the Von Duprin 2227F that way?
Less bottom rod (LBR) deletes the lower rod and the floor strike, so the device latches only at the head. Order it that way where the floor takes abuse or gets wet, where carts and gurneys would beat up a bottom latch, or where a threshold or carpet transition makes a floor strike impractical. Both options are offered on the 22 Series. Keep the bottom rod where you want the extra latching point at the sill. On a fire rated opening, the LBR option has to match what the door assembly's listing allows, so confirm against the door label before you delete it.
16) What outside trim options are available on the Von Duprin 22 Series exit device?
Ten trim functions on the 2227F: exit only (EO) with no outside operation, dummy trim (DT), knob (K) and knob with blank escutcheon (K-BE), lever (L) and lever with blank escutcheon (L-BE), thumbpiece (TP) and thumbpiece with blank escutcheon (TP-BE), night latch (NL), and night latch cylinder assembly with optional pull (NL-OP). If you pick the L lever function you also choose the lever design, 06, 03, or 17. Von Duprin's 210 knob trim and 230 lever/thumbpiece trim are the trim families behind those choices. Blank escutcheon versions are for openings where the cylinder is not needed on the outside.
17) I need an exit device for a 36 inch door but do not need a fire rating, what is a simpler option?
On a non-labeled egress opening you have several Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod choices without the fire listing. The Falcon 25-V-EO and the Falcon 20 Series are both Grade 1 wide stile exit only devices for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Corbin Russwin ED5400 is Grade 1 wide stile and accepts trim. The BEST Precision 2201 Series is a 36 inch wide stile device, and the BEST Precision 5201 is reversible. The TownSteel TS5100 is a Grade 2 heavy duty wide stile option if the spec permits Grade 2. Exit only means no outside operation at all, so if anyone needs to get back in through that door you want a version that accepts trim.
18) Is the Von Duprin 2227F heavy duty enough for a school or hospital corridor?
It is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2008 Grade 1, which is the highest durability class for exit devices and what commercial specs call for on high traffic openings. Grade 1 plus the UL panic and fire listings is the combination that gets specified in schools, healthcare, government buildings, and multi-tenant residential. If you are also running an accessible route, add the AX option for the 5 lb operating force.
19) Which surface vertical rod exit devices are Grade 2 rather than Grade 1 like the Von Duprin 2227F?
The 2227F-3FT is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2008 Grade 1. Two comparable surface vertical rod devices are Grade 2: the Dexter ED2000 Series surface vertical rod panic device and the TownSteel TS5100 Series, a heavy duty wide stile device at 36 inch by 84 inch. Both are listed non fire rated. Grade 2 devices are tested to a lower cycle and strength threshold than Grade 1, so on a project where the drawing calls out Grade 1 or the opening is fire rated, they are not an equal swap for the 2227F.
20) I need a reversible or non-handed surface vertical rod exit device. How does the Von Duprin 2227F compare?
The 2227F-3FT is non-handed, so handing does not have to be resolved at the door. Among comparable surface vertical rod devices, the Sargent 2727 is reversible and is Grade 1 fire rated wide stile, the BEST Precision 5201 Series is a reversible 36 inch device listed non fire rated, and the Orca Hardware OED56 is a 36 inch non-handed exit only device for 1-3/4 inch doors, also non fire rated. For a fire rated opening the Sargent 2727 is the one of the three that carries the fire rating.
21) What is a standard duty surface vertical rod exit device compared to the Von Duprin 2227F?
The 2227F-3FT is a Grade 1 fire rated commercial device. Where the opening is not fire rated and the traffic is lighter, the Design Hardware 2000V is a standard duty 33 inch surface vertical rod device and the Orca Hardware OED56 is a standard duty 36 inch exit only device for 1-3/4 inch doors; both are listed non fire rated. The Design Hardware 1000V is the heavy duty 33 inch device in that same family, also non fire rated. Note the 33 inch length on the Design Hardware devices against the 36 inch size of the Von Duprin.
22) We standardize on 36 inch wide stile surface vertical rod devices across the facility. Which comparable devices match that size and stile?
The Von Duprin 2227F-3FT is a 36 inch wide stile device and is fire rated Grade 1. Matching 36 inch wide stile comparables are the BEST Precision 2201 Series 36 inch wide stile device, the Corbin Russwin ED5400 Grade 1 36 inch wide stile device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the TownSteel ED8927, a Grade 1 wide stile device at 36 inch by 84 inch that is wood door compatible. All three are listed non fire rated, so mixed facilities with fire rated openings will need a fire rated device such as the TownSteel EF9727 on those specific doors.
23) What finishes does the Von Duprin 22 Series 2227F exit device come in?
Four: 526 chrome, 622 matte black, 689 aluminum, and 695 dark bronze. 689 aluminum is the usual choice for matching existing painted or clear anodized commercial hardware across a building, and 695 dark bronze pairs with bronze anodized storefronts and door closers. If you are standardizing a facility, pick the finish once and carry it across the trim as well, since the knob and lever trims are ordered alongside the device.
24) How much space does the Von Duprin 2227F center case take up on the door face?
The center case measures 4-1/4 x 1-3/8 x 2-3/8 inches, and the device stands 3-3/4 inches off the door. That projection is the number that matters in a tight vestibule, at a door that swings back against a wall, or where two leaves of a pair open toward each other. It is a push pad device, so the pad runs the width of the 36 inch unit rather than a crossbar, which keeps the profile cleaner than a crossbar device like the Corbin Russwin ED7400.
