Heavy-Duty Narrow Stile Concealed Vertical Rod Solution for Commercial and Institutional Applications
The Von Duprin 3547A-3ft is a 3-foot, smooth mechanism case, narrow stile concealed vertical rod exit device engineered for demanding commercial and institutional environments. Designed to fit door stiles as narrow as 2-1/8" (44 mm) for metal doors and as narrow as 4" (102 mm) for wood doors, this device accommodates a 36" door size and features a 3/4" latch throw with a door thickness range of 1-3/4". Certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3 2014 Grade 1 standards and UL listed for panic exit hardware, the 3547A is non-handed (except when the SS signal switch option is used), making it highly versatile for single and double door applications. The device centerline is positioned at 39-13/16" from finished floor, and its one-piece center case cover provides a clean, architectural appearance suited to schools, hospitals, and government buildings.
