Von Duprin 5547-WDC EO SPBLK-3 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Von Duprin 5547WDC concealed vertical rod device fit a wood door with only a 4 inch stile?
Yes. The 55 Series 5547WDC is built for narrow stile wood doors and fits stiles as narrow as 4 inches (102 mm). That is the whole reason to reach for this one instead of a wide stile device: on a 4 inch stile there is no room for a wide stile case. It is a 36 inch crossbar device for 1-3/4 inch thick doors, and the hinge stile and lock stile cases each measure 7-1/4 x 1-1/4 x 2-1/4 inches with a 3-3/4 inch projection off the door face.
2) Can I use the Von Duprin 5547WDC on a fire rated wood door?
Not as the standard 5547WDC. That configuration is non fire rated. All 55 Series devices can be ordered fire rated by adding a -F suffix, which brings ANSI/UL 10C and CAN/ULC-S104 compliance, so specify the -F version for a labeled opening. Note that fire rated exit devices do not dog, so the hex key dogging you get on the standard device goes away on the fire rated build.
3) My door is 1-3/8 inches thick. Will this Von Duprin narrow stile exit device work?
No. The 5547WDC is a single thickness device for 1-3/4 inch doors only, which is the standard commercial thickness. A 1-3/8 inch door, common on older interior openings, is outside what this device is set up for. The screw pack that ships with it covers 1-1/4 inch and 2-1/4 inch thick metal and wood doors for the case fasteners, but the device itself is specified at 1-3/4 inches.
4) How does a concealed vertical rod exit device latch a pair of doors with no mullion?
A concealed vertical rod device latches top and bottom, into the frame head and into the threshold or floor strike, rather than into the edge of the opening. That is what lets it secure a pair of doors with no center mullion, which a rim device cannot do without one. The rods and latches run inside the door, so nothing is exposed on the face except the crossbar. Latch throw on the 5547WDC is 1/2 inch, so the head and floor strikes have to be prepped and aligned to that depth for the latches to engage.
5) What trim functions can I get with the Von Duprin 55 Series concealed vertical rod device?
Eight trim functions are available: DT dummy trim, EO exit only, L lever, L-BE lever with blank escutcheon, NL night latch, NL-OP night latch cylinder assembly with optional pull, TL thumb turn, and TL-BE thumb turn with blank escutcheon. If you pick a lever function you also choose the lever style, 06 (the default on L trim), 03, 07, or 17. EO is the one to take when the door is egress only and nobody needs to get back in through it; NL is what you want when someone has to key back in from outside.
6) Does the Von Duprin 5547WDC meet Grade 1 for a school or hospital spec?
It is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3, 2008 Grade 1, the highest of the three grades in that standard for exit devices, and carries ANSI/UL 305 and CAN/ULC-S132 panic hardware listings. That satisfies a Grade 1 line on a drawing for commercial egress hardware. What it does not carry as standard is a fire label, so on a rated corridor or stair door you need the -F version instead.
7) I need a narrow stile concealed vertical rod device but my door is thicker than 1-3/4 inches. What should I use?
The 5547WDC is fixed at 1-3/4 inches, so on a thicker leaf look at the DORMA 9600BB Series, a 36 inch Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod device rated for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors. It is a push pad rather than a crossbar, so the appearance changes. On a wide stile door in that same thickness range, the DORMA 9100 Series covers 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches as well.
8) Is the Adams Rite 8600 a substitute for the Von Duprin 5547WDC on a wood door?
No, and this is the swap that catches people. The Adams Rite 8600 Series is a Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod device, which sounds like a match, but it is built for aluminum doors. The 5547WDC is a wood door device (the WDC in the model). Narrow stile aluminum and narrow stile wood are different preps. If you want a narrow stile concealed vertical rod device for a wood leaf from another brand, the Falcon 24-C at 36 inches or the Falcon 1690EO at 3 ft are Grade 1 narrow stile exit only devices for 1-3/4 inch doors.
9) Should I use a concealed vertical rod device or a surface vertical rod device on my wood doors?
Concealed rods run inside the door, so nothing shows on the face but the crossbar and the top and bottom cases. That is the choice when appearance matters, on a lobby, a storefront, or a historical building, and it keeps the rods out of reach of abuse and cart traffic. The trade is the door prep: the leaf has to be bored and routed for the rods, so concealed is straightforward on new doors and much more work as a retrofit onto an existing solid wood leaf. Surface rods bolt on to an unprepped door, which is why they win on replacement jobs. The 5547WDC is the concealed version, 36 inches, for 4 inch narrow stile wood doors at 1-3/4 inch thickness.
10) The opening needs a fire-rated concealed vertical rod device - what should I order instead of the standard 5547WDC?
The 5547WDC as configured is a non-fire-rated device. For an opening that requires a fire label, the Adams Rite 3600 Series and the Adams Rite 3900 Series are both fire-rated Grade 1 concealed vertical rod devices, the 3900 carrying a 1-1/2 hour rating, and the Sargent 12-MD8613 is a fire-rated Grade 1 device in classroom function. All three are wide stile, so confirm the stile width on the door leaf before specifying - the 5547WDC is the narrow stile design, fitting stiles as narrow as 4 inches.
11) I only need push-to-exit on a narrow stile door with no outside trim - is there a simpler concealed vertical rod device than the 5547WDC?
Yes. The Falcon 24-C is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod exit device in a 36 inch narrow stile exit only configuration for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Falcon 1690EO is a 3 ft narrow stile exit only Grade 1 device for the same door thickness. Both are single-function exit only devices, so there is no trim, lever style or cylinder to specify. The 5547WDC is a crossbar device sized at 36 inches that can be ordered exit only as well, but it is also configurable with Lever, Night Latch and Thumb Turn trim, which is the reason to choose it if outside access may be added later.
12) My doors are wide stile hollow metal, not narrow stile wood - which concealed vertical rod device fits instead of the 5547WDC?
The 5547WDC is a narrow stile device. For wide stile hollow metal leaves, the Adams Rite 8500 Series is a non-fire-rated Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device for hollow metal doors, and the Corbin Russwin ED5800 is a Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors that is exit only and accepts trim. The DORMA 9100 Series is another wide stile Grade 1 option, a heavy duty pushpad device covering a 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range if the leaves vary in thickness across the building.
13) The opening is wider than 36 inches - what concealed vertical rod device covers it instead of the 5547WDC?
The 5547WDC is a 36 inch device. For a wider leaf, the Falcon 1990EO is a 44 inch narrow stile Grade 1 concealed vertical rod exit device for 1-3/4 inch doors in exit only function, and the CRL Jackson 1085 Series is a 48 inch non-handed wide stile concealed vertical rod panic device, also exit only. Both are single-function exit only devices, so outside trim would need to be handled separately if the opening requires controlled entry.
14) Do I have to order the Von Duprin 5547WDC left hand or right hand?
Handing is field reversible on the 5547WDC, so the device itself can be switched on site rather than ordered as a dedicated hand. You still pick LHR or RHR when ordering, but a wrong call is correctable in the field instead of a return. On a pair of doors that means one device works for both leaves.
15) Can I get a request to exit switch on this Von Duprin 55 Series device for my access control system?
Yes, RX is an ordering option on the 5547WDC and it is chosen at the time of order, not added later without opening the device. The RX switch signals the access control panel that the crossbar was pushed, so a legitimate egress does not read as a forced door. The device also supports the E8875 option for access control, fire alarm, and remote switching integration. If you are tying this into a card reader system, spec the switch up front.
16) What is the difference between the standard, RCB, and KN crossbar options on the Von Duprin 55 Series?
Three crossbar builds. Standard is the plain crossbar. RCB is the reinforced crossbar, which is what to order on a high abuse opening such as a school corridor or a loading area. KN is knurled, and the knurling is a tactile hazard warning, the raised texture that tells someone by feel that the door leads somewhere dangerous, which some codes require on mechanical and electrical rooms. Pick one at order time.
17) I have a pair of wood doors and only one leaf needs to open. What do I order?
Order the active leaf with a working trim function such as L lever or NL night latch, and the inactive leaf as DT dummy trim, which gives you a matching crossbar with no latching function so the pair looks alike. If both leaves are egress only with no re-entry, EO exit only on both is the cheaper build. Handing is field reversible on the 55 Series, so the same device covers either leaf.
18) Can I hold the door open with the Von Duprin 5547WDC during business hours?
Yes, it comes with hex key dogging. Insert the hex key, depress the crossbar, and the latches stay retracted so the door pushes open freely, which is what you want on a retail entrance or an office lobby during the day. Undog it and the latches return to normal. Two things to know: hex dogging needs the key on hand, unlike cylinder dogging, and if you order the fire rated -F version dogging is not available at all.
19) How far does the Von Duprin 5547WDC stick out from the door, and will it clear a wall or a second door?
Projection is 3-3/4 inches off the door face, and the hinge stile and lock stile cases each measure 7-1/4 x 1-1/4 x 2-1/4 inches. Check that 3-3/4 inches against anything the door swings toward, a return wall, a vestibule, a second set of doors in a tight entry. It also matters for egress width: a crossbar projecting into the opening reduces the clear width when the door is at 90 degrees, which is worth confirming on an opening already tight to code minimum.
20) Does the Von Duprin 5547WDC come with the screws, or do I need to buy fasteners separately?
A screw pack is included, covering 1-1/4 inch and 2-1/4 inch thick metal and wood doors. What is not in the box is the trim: the lever, escutcheon, cylinder, or 990 pull is a separate selection you make when ordering, and a cylinder is needed for the NL night latch and NL-OP functions. Top and bottom strikes and the door prep for the concealed rods are the other half of the job.
21) Will the Von Duprin 5547WDC fit a door narrower or wider than 3 feet?
The 5547WDC is the 36 inch (3 ft) device and it is field sizeable, so it can be cut down to suit a narrower leaf during installation rather than requiring a different part number. It will not stretch to a wider door, though. For a 42 inch leaf you are looking at a 3.5 ft or 4 ft device instead; among other brands, the Falcon 1491DT is a 42 inch narrow stile concealed vertical rod device with a 9970 pull, though that one is dummy trim function.
22) Which narrow stile concealed vertical rod devices accept outside trim rather than being egress only?
The Corbin Russwin ED4800 is a Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors, exit only and accepts trim, and the ED7800 is the crossbar version of that arrangement, exit only and accepts operator trim. The 5547WDC is ordered directly in the trim function you need - Lever, Lever with Blank Escutcheon, Night Latch, Night Latch with optional pull, Thumb Turn, Thumb Turn with Blank Escutcheon, Dummy Trim, or Exit Only - with the lever style chosen from 06, 03, 07 or 17. Devices such as the Falcon 1690EO and Falcon 24-C are exit only function and are the wrong starting point if outside access is part of the opening.
23) What is the difference between a pushpad concealed vertical rod device and the crossbar 5547WDC for a facility standard?
The 5547WDC uses a crossbar actuator with a 3-3/4 inch projection off the door face and hex key dogging. The DORMA 9600BB is the closest pushpad counterpart on narrow stile - a 36 inch non-fire-rated Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile pushpad concealed vertical rod device for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors. Sargent's MD8613F-LTRIM is a Grade 1 heavy duty concealed vertical rod device for 36 by 84 inch metal doors, also with hex dogging. Crossbar is the choice where the building's existing devices or a historical aesthetic call for it; pushpad is the more common modern face.
24) I need a non-functioning device on the inactive leaf to match the active door - what pairs with the 5547WDC?
The 5547WDC can be ordered with DT Dummy Trim, which keeps the crossbar appearance on a leaf that does not need to latch. If the matching leaf is a different opening entirely, the Falcon 1491DT is a Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod device in dummy function for 1-3/4 inch doors, supplied at 42 inches with a 9970 pull. Note the Falcon is a 42 inch device while the 5547WDC is 36 inches, so the two will not read the same across a matched pair of leaves.
25) If I do not want to specify handing at the time of order, which concealed vertical rod devices are non-handed?
The BEST Precision 2601 Series is a non-handed narrow stile concealed vertical rod device in exit only function, and the CRL Jackson 1085 Series is a non-handed 48 inch concealed vertical rod panic device. The BEST Precision 2701 Series is a wide stile reversible concealed vertical rod device for wood doors. The 5547WDC is field reversible for handing, so the hand is set at install rather than at order, but the handing selection of LHR or RHR is still part of how it is configured.
26) Will the CRL Jackson 1285 work on the same narrow stile openings as the 5547WDC?
The CRL Jackson 1285 is a push pad concealed vertical rod panic exit device listed for narrow, medium or wide stile, so it spans stile widths the 5547WDC does not, and it is exit only function. The 5547WDC is a narrow stile crossbar device fitting stiles as narrow as 4 inches, with trim functions including Lever, Night Latch and Thumb Turn available. If the doors across a building vary in stile width and all you need is egress, the 1285 covers the range; if the openings need outside operating trim, that is where the two part company.
27) Which concealed vertical rod device should a school specify for a classroom function opening rather than the 5547WDC?
The Sargent 12-MD8613 is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod exit device supplied in classroom function with a fire rating, on a wide stile leaf. The 5547WDC is Grade 1 and certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3, 2008 with ANSI/UL 305 and CAN/ULC-S132, and is ordered with trim functions including Lever, Lever with Blank Escutcheon, Night Latch and Thumb Turn. For a narrow stile wood leaf where classroom security is handled through the outside lever trim, the 5547WDC is the narrow stile path; the Sargent is the choice where the leaf is wide stile and the fire label is required.
28) For a wood door application, is the BEST Precision 2701 an alternative to the 5547WDC?
Both are built with wood doors in mind, but they sit on different stiles. The BEST Precision 2701 Series is a wide stile reversible concealed vertical rod device for wood doors, and the 2801 Series is also a wide stile concealed vertical rod device. The 5547WDC is the narrow stile wood door design, fitting stiles as narrow as 4 inches on 1-3/4 inch leaves. Measure the stile on the leaf first - a narrow stile wood door will not take a wide stile device regardless of the door material match.
29) What finishes does the Von Duprin 5547WDC crossbar exit device come in?
Eight finishes across the range: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, 643E aged bronze, and 693 black. For a building where the existing hardware is 1970s or older brass, 605 and 606 are the ones that match; 626 satin chrome is the usual pick when the rest of the openings are modern commercial. The crossbar styling itself is what makes this device fit historical and retro buildings where a push pad would look wrong.
