Von Duprin 2227EO-F 4 695 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Von Duprin 2227F surface vertical rod exit device fit a 3-5/8 inch stile aluminum or hollow metal door?
Yes. The 22 Series wide stile device goes down to a 3-5/8 inch (92 mm) minimum stile, and it mounts on doors 1-3/4 inches thick. Push pad projects 3-3/4 inches off the face of the door, and the center case measures 4-1/4 x 1-3/8 x 2-3/8 inches, so check your clearance to any adjacent wall, mullion, or door in a vestibule. If your stile is narrower than 3-5/8 inches you need a narrow stile device instead, not this one.
2) Can the Von Duprin 2227F be used on a fire rated door opening?
That is exactly what the F in 2227F means. The device is UL listed for Fire Hardware under ANSI/UL 10C and CAN/ULC-S104, and it is also listed panic hardware under ANSI/UL 305 and CAN/ULC-S132, certified ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2008 Grade 1. One consequence to plan for: it is supplied less dogging. Fire rated exit devices cannot be mechanically held down, so the pad must latch on every cycle. If you want a door that stays push-pull during business hours, you need a non-fire-rated device or an electric latch retraction setup released by the fire alarm.
3) Do I need a mullion to use a Von Duprin 2227F on a pair of doors?
No. A surface vertical rod device latches into a strike at the head of the frame and into the threshold or floor strike, so it holds without any center mullion between the two leaves. That is the reason to pick vertical rod over a rim device: a rim device latches to the edge of the opening and needs either a removable mullion or an overlapping astragal to secure a pair. The 2227F is non-handed, so the same device works on either leaf, though you still select RHR or LHR when ordering to get the correct trim orientation.
4) Should I order the Von Duprin 2227F less bottom rod?
Less bottom rod (LBR) drops the lower rod and floor strike, leaving only the top latch. Property managers pick it where the floor strike is the maintenance problem: carpet, snow and grit, wet mopping, or a threshold that gets tripped over. LBR is offered on the 2227F as a yes or no option when you order. Keep the bottom rod where you want two-point latching and better resistance to the leaf being pried or bowed. On a fire rated opening, confirm with your AHJ before deleting the bottom latch, since removing latching points affects how the assembly was tested.
5) Will the Von Duprin 2227F drop into an existing hollow metal door prep?
The 2227F covers stock hollow metal doors prepped with the 86 or 161 cutout, which are the two most common commercial preps for a cylindrical or mortise lock. If your existing door carries one of those, you are covered without patching. Von Duprin publishes template indexes for both hollow metal and wood door preps, plus separate template indexes for the trims and strikes, so pull the sheet for your door material before drilling.
6) How do I get outside entry with a Von Duprin 22 Series vertical rod device, and what trim do I order?
Trim function is a separate selection on the order. The 2227F takes exit only (EO) with no outside operation, night latch (NL, key retracts the latch) or NL-OP with an optional pull, knob (K or K-BE with blank escutcheon), lever (L or L-BE), thumbpiece (TP or TP-BE), and dummy trim (DT). Von Duprin's 210 knob trim covers Classroom, Storeroom, and Dummy functions and the 230 lever/thumbpiece trim is Classroom. If you choose the L lever option you also specify the lever design: 06, 03, or 17. A cylinder is required for any keyed function and is ordered separately.
7) Which Von Duprin 22 Series option meets the ADA 5 pound operating force requirement?
The AX accessible device option. AX is certified to the 5 lb. operating force limit under 2010 ADA Chapters 404.2.7 and 309.4 and the 2013 California Building Code Chapter 11B-309.4. It is a yes or no selection when ordering, so a standard 2227F is not the AX device. If you are working a healthcare, education, or government opening where a barrier-free push force is being inspected, specify AX. Note that if you also want electric latch retraction on an AX device, the retraction option is QELX rather than QEL.
8) Can I tie a Von Duprin 2227F into an access control system or an alarm?
Yes, through the electrified options. For monitoring and signaling you can order RX (request to exit), RX2 (double request to exit), LX (latch bolt monitor switch), LX-LC (low current), LX-RX, LX-RX-LC, or ALK, an alarm exit kit that sounds locally when the pad is pushed. For remote unlocking, QEL quiet electric latch retraction pulls the latches back so the door pushes free, with QELX for AX devices. The 22 Series also offers CON common connectors and an RX push pad monitor. Specify these when you order, since they are factory-installed into the device.
9) Will the Von Duprin 2227F latch into the strikes already on my frame?
Not automatically. The latch throw is 3/4 inch and it is a top and bottom latching device, so it needs the Von Duprin top strike at the head and the floor strike or threshold strike at the bottom, positioned to the 22 Series template. If your existing door was on a rim device or a mortise lock, the strikes in the frame edge are the wrong ones and the head and sill are not prepped at all. If you are replacing another surface vertical rod device, the top and bottom strike locations still have to match the 22 Series template dimensions, which is why the trims and strikes template index is worth pulling before you order.
10) My door stile is too narrow for a wide stile exit device. What surface vertical rod device should I use instead?
Go to a narrow stile device. The Corbin Russwin ED4400 is a Grade 1 narrow stile surface vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors, exit only and accepts trim, in a 36 inch length. The Falcon 19-V-EO is Grade 1 narrow stile, exit only, 36 inch, also for 1-3/4 inch doors. The TownSteel ED3727 is a Grade 1 narrow stile device at 36 x 84 inches and is rated for wood doors. If you need narrow stile and fire rated, the Arrow S1150 is a fire rated exit only device listed for narrow or wide stile at 1-3/4 inch thickness.
11) Can I substitute a non-fire-rated vertical rod device for the Von Duprin 2227F to save on a project?
Only on an opening that is not in a fire rated assembly. If your door is fire rated, a life safety or panic-only device is not a legal substitute, no matter how similar it looks. On non-rated openings there are plenty of Grade 1 wide stile options: the Falcon 20 Series and Falcon 25-V-EO, the Corbin Russwin ED5400, the TownSteel ED8927, and the Adams Rite 8100 Series are all Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod devices listed as not fire rated. The TownSteel TS5100 is heavy duty but Grade 2, so it is a step down in cycle and strength testing.
12) What is the closest fire rated surface vertical rod exit device to the Von Duprin 2227F for a wide stile fire door?
The Adams Rite 3100 Series is the nearest match on the specs that decide a fire opening: it is a fire rated surface vertical rod device, ANSI Grade 1, wide stile, and fits a 1-3/4 inch door, which are the same fire rating, grade, stile type and door thickness the 2227F carries. The TownSteel EF9727 is a second fire rated Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device and is also rated for wood doors. Where the 2227F is non-handed, the Adams Rite 3100 is catalogued at 30 inches and the TownSteel at 36 inches for an 84 inch door, so confirm the device length against your door width before you order.
13) What is the difference between the 3 ft and 4 ft Von Duprin 22 Series exit device, and which do I order?
Device length has to suit the door width, not the opening. The 4 ft (48 inch) 2227F is for nominal 4 foot wide doors; the 22 Series also comes in a 3 ft length for 3 foot doors. Order the size that matches the leaf you are hanging it on. On a pair, each leaf takes its own device sized to that leaf, so a pair of 3 foot doors takes two 3 ft devices, not one 4 ft.
14) Can the Von Duprin 2227F go on a wood door, or only hollow metal?
Both. Von Duprin publishes a wood door prep template index and a wood door trims and strikes template index for the 22 Series alongside the hollow metal ones. The device itself is set for 1-3/4 inch thickness either way. What changes is the prep and the reinforcement in the door, so pull the wood door template before you cut, and confirm the wood door itself carries the correct fire label if the opening is rated.
15) Is there a lighter duty or Grade 2 alternative to the Von Duprin 2227F surface vertical rod exit device?
The Von Duprin 2227F is an ANSI Grade 1 device. If the opening does not need Grade 1 and carries no fire label, the Dexter ED2000 Series and the TownSteel TS5100 Series are both Grade 2 surface vertical rod panic devices, and the TS5100 is catalogued as heavy duty wide stile. The Design Hardware 2000V is a standard duty surface vertical rod device in the same family, with the Design Hardware 1000V as the heavy duty version of it. None of these four are fire rated, so they are for panic egress on a non-labeled door only.
16) I only need exit only with no outside trim - what compares to the Von Duprin 2227F?
The 2227F is ordered with a trim function, and EO - Exit Only is one of the choices alongside knob, lever, thumbpiece and night latch. If you want a device built as exit only from the start, the Falcon 20 Series and Falcon 25-V-EO are Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod devices catalogued as exit only, the Sargent 2727 and Sargent 3727 are Grade 1 wide stile exit only devices, and the Corbin Russwin ED5400 is a Grade 1 wide stile exit only device that accepts trim if you later add it. Of that group the Sargent 2727 and 3727 do not list a fire rating restriction, while the Falcon 20, Falcon 25 and Corbin ED5400 are catalogued as not fire rated - check that against the door label.
17) What is the difference between the Von Duprin 2227F and the Sargent 12-8710?
They are not the same kind of device even though both are Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod hardware. The Sargent 12-8710 is catalogued with a dummy function, meaning the push pad does not retract latches - it is for the inactive leaf or a pull-side match. The Von Duprin 2227F is an operating panic device and is ordered by trim function, with DT - Dummy Trim as only one of ten choices that also include exit only, knob, lever, thumbpiece and night latch. If you are matching a working egress leaf, the 12-8710 is not a substitute for an operating 2227F.
18) Which vertical rod exit devices comparable to the Von Duprin 2227F are approved for wood doors?
The Von Duprin 22 Series publishes wood door prep templates as well as hollow metal templates, so the 2227F is prepped for both door types. Among the comparable devices, the TownSteel EF9727 is a fire rated Grade 1 wide stile device catalogued as wood door compatible, and the TownSteel ED8927 and ED3727 are also wood door compatible Grade 1 devices, though both of those are catalogued as not fire rated. On a labeled wood door, the fire rating is the deciding line.
19) I need a less bottom rod vertical rod device - what are my options besides the Von Duprin 2227F?
The 2227F can be ordered with Less Bottom Rod as an option, which keeps the bottom of the door clear in a wet or high-traffic opening while staying fire rated and Grade 1. Among the comparable devices, the Orca Hardware OED56 Series is catalogued as a standard duty less bottom rod vertical rod device, exit only, non-handed, in an aluminum finish for a 1-3/4 inch door - but it is not fire rated, so it does not carry onto a labeled opening the way the 2227F does.
20) What can I put on a 48 inch door if I am comparing against the Von Duprin 2227F-4FT?
The 2227F-4FT is a 48 inch device sized for a 4 ft door leaf, and the 22 Series also runs in 3 ft lengths. Most of the comparable surface vertical rod devices are catalogued at shorter lengths - the Adams Rite 3100 and 8100 at 30 inches, the Arrow 3700 and S1150 at 30 inches, the BEST Precision 2201 and 5201, the Corbin Russwin ED4400, ED5400 and ED7400, the Falcon 20 and 25, and the TownSteel EF9727 all at 36 inches, and the Design Hardware 1000V and 2000V at 33 inches. Device length has to suit the door width, so on a true 4 ft leaf, confirm the length before you cross to any of these.
21) Which Grade 1 vertical rod devices compare to the Von Duprin 2227F if I am standardizing a facility?
For a facility standard, the Von Duprin 2227F sets the bar at ANSI Grade 1, fire rated, wide stile, 1-3/4 inch door. Peers that hold Grade 1 across a wide stile door include the Adams Rite 3100 Series and TownSteel EF9727, which are also fire rated, and the Adams Rite 8100, Corbin Russwin ED5400, Falcon 20, Falcon 25, Sargent 2727, Sargent 3727 and TownSteel ED8927, which are Grade 1 wide stile but not carried as fire rated. The Dexter ED1000 and ED1500 Series are Grade 1 surface vertical rod devices as well. If your building mixes labeled and unlabeled openings, the fire rated group is the one that can serve as a single standard across both.
22) 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 and 695 dark bronze are the usual choices for matching existing storefront and hollow metal openings across a building, and 622 matte black is the one to pick where the rest of the door hardware has been changed over to black. If you are standardizing a facility, pick the finish once and carry it across every opening, since exit device push pads are the most visible piece of hardware on a door.
23) Is the Von Duprin 2227F a push pad or a crossbar exit device?
Push pad. The whole 22 Series uses a push pad rather than a horizontal crossbar, which is what most commercial specs call for today and what keeps the touch surface flush against the door. If you are matching an older opening that has a crossbar and you want to keep the look consistent, the Corbin Russwin ED7400 is a crossbar surface vertical rod device, though it is narrow stile and not fire rated, so it is a look match rather than a functional one for a rated wide stile opening.
24) Is a crossbar exit device like the Corbin Russwin ED7400 interchangeable with the Von Duprin 2227F?
They operate differently at the door. The Von Duprin 2227F uses a push pad, while the Corbin Russwin ED7400 is a crossbar surface vertical rod device. The ED7400 is also a narrow stile Grade 1 device that accepts operator trim and is catalogued as not fire rated, against the 2227F's wide stile and fire rating. If you are standardizing a building on push pads, the ED7400 changes the look and the touch point on that leaf as well as the fire status.
