Von Duprin 7827EO 4 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Von Duprin 7827 fit a 4 ft wide door, and can it be cut down for a narrower opening?
The 7827-4ft is built at 48 inches and is field sizeable, so it covers doors up to 4 ft and can be trimmed down on site for narrower leaves. It works on single doors and on pairs. Mount it with the device centerline at 39-13/16 inches from the finished floor, and allow 3-13/16 inches of projection off the face of the door for clearance to walls, jamb returns and anything swinging past.
2) Do I need a mullion to use the 7827 on a pair of doors?
No mullion needed. A surface vertical rod device latches into a top strike at the head and a bottom strike at the threshold rather than into the jamb, so two of these secure a pair of doors and leave the full opening clear when both leaves are open. The 7827 uses a 299 top strike and a 304L bottom strike. If you want a clear threshold instead, a rim device with a removable mullion is the other way to do a pair.
3) Is the Von Duprin 7827 fire rated?
As configured, no. The 7827 is a panic device certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2014 Grade 1 and compliant with ANSI/UL 305 and CAN/ULC-S132, which is the panic hardware standard, not the fire door standard. Fire rated configurations to ANSI/UL 10C and CAN/ULC-S104 are ordered by adding the -F suffix. If the opening is a labeled fire door, you need the -F version, and note that fire rated devices cannot be dogged open.
4) I need a surface vertical rod exit device for a wood door - can I use the Von Duprin 7827?
The 7827 is not wood door compatible. For wood doors, the TownSteel ED8927 is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device listed as wood door compatible in a 36 by 84 inch size, the TownSteel ED3727 is the Grade 1 narrow stile equivalent and also wood door compatible, and the TownSteel EF9727 is the fire-rated Grade 1 wide stile version that is wood door compatible as well.
5) What is the closest Grade 1 surface vertical rod exit device to the Von Duprin 7827 if I need a fire-rated opening instead?
The Von Duprin 7827 as configured is non-fire-rated. For a fire-rated surface vertical rod opening, the Sargent 12-8710 from the 8700 Series is a Grade 1 fire-rated wide stile surface vertical rod device, and the TownSteel EF9727 in the 9700 Series is a Grade 1 fire-rated heavy duty wide stile device sized 36 by 84 inches. Adams Rite also offers the 3100 Series in a 30 inch fire-rated Grade 1 surface vertical rod for 1-3/4 inch doors.
6) What dogging options are there on the 7827, and which one do I pick for a storefront that stays unlocked during business hours?
Three choices. Hex key dogging is the default and holds the push pad depressed with an allen wrench, fine where only staff handle it. CD cylinder dogging swaps that for a keyed cylinder so the same key system that runs the building controls dog-down, which is what most retail and office tenants want for daily open and close. LD is less dogging, no hold-open at all, which is what you specify on a fire door.
7) What outside trim functions can I order with the Von Duprin 7827?
Ten trim functions: EO exit only with no outside trim, NL night latch, NL-OP night latch with optional pull, L lever, L-BE lever with blank escutcheon, L-DT lever with dummy trim, L-NL lever with night latch, DT dummy trim, TL thumbturn that unlocks, and T-BE thumbturn with blank escutcheon. If you choose an L function you also pick the lever design, with 06 as the default and 01, 02, 03, 05, 07, 12, 16, 17 and 18 available to match the rest of the openings in the building.
8) What is less bottom rod (LBR) on a vertical rod exit device, and should I order it?
Less bottom rod deletes the rod and latch that run to the threshold, so the device latches only at the head. Buyers specify it where the floor strike is a trip hazard, where carpet or an uneven slab fouls the bottom latch, or in kitchens and wash-down areas where the floor strike collects debris. The 7827 can be ordered LBR or with the full bottom rod and 304L bottom strike. On a fire rated opening, LBR normally requires an auxiliary fire pin, so confirm the configuration before you order that combination.
9) Will the 7827 latch reliably if my door and frame are slightly out of alignment?
The device carries a 3/4 inch latch throw at both the top and bottom latch points, which gives you some tolerance for a door that has dropped or a frame that has racked. It still needs the 299 top strike and 304L bottom strike set at the right depth, and the device centerline held at 39-13/16 inches from finished floor so the rods reach their travel. If the gap at the head has grown past what 3/4 inch of throw can pick up, the door needs adjusting before the hardware goes on.
10) Can the Von Duprin 7827 be tied into an access control system?
Yes, and there are two separate decisions. For monitoring and signaling, pick a switch option: RX request to exit, LX latchbolt monitor, LX-RX combined, RX2 double request to exit, WP-RX waterproof for exterior openings, or one of the alarm exit kits (ALK, RX-ALK, LXRX-ALK). For remote unlocking, add QEL quiet electric latch retraction, or HD-QEL if you want electric retraction and keep hex dogging on a panic device. AX accessible-device versions use the QELX and HD-QELX variants instead.
11) What else should I look at if the Von Duprin 7827 is not the right surface vertical rod device for my opening?
Several Grade 1 surface vertical rod options sit alongside it. The Corbin Russwin ED5400 is a wide stile exit-only device that accepts trim, and the ED4400 is the narrow stile version of the same family. Falcon's 25-V-EO is a wide stile exit-only device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the 19-V-EO is narrow stile. If you need a fire rated device rather than adding a suffix, the Adams Rite 3100 Series and the Sargent 2727 are both fire rated Grade 1. For a lighter-duty budget opening, the Dexter ED2000 Series is Grade 2.
12) What is a good Grade 1 alternative to the Von Duprin 7827 if I only need an exit only device with no trim?
The 7827 covers exit only through its EO trim function along with lever, night latch and thumbturn options. If the opening only ever needs exit only, several Grade 1 devices are built that way from the start: the Falcon 25-V-EO is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod exit only device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Falcon 19-V-EO is the Grade 1 narrow stile exit only version, and the Sargent 3727 in the 30 Series is a Grade 1 wide stile exit only device with a standard push bar rather than a push pad.
13) Is there a simpler or lighter duty surface vertical rod device than the Von Duprin 7827 for a low traffic door?
The 7827 is a Grade 1 commercial device. Where a lighter specification is acceptable, the Dexter ED2000 Series is a Grade 2 surface vertical rod panic device, the TownSteel TS5100 Series is a Grade 2 heavy duty wide stile surface vertical rod device in 36 by 84 inch, and the Design Hardware 2000V is a standard duty surface vertical rod device in a 33 inch size. All three are non-fire-rated.
14) I need a reversible or non-handed surface vertical rod device instead of the Von Duprin 7827 - what are my options?
For non-handed or reversible surface vertical rod devices, the BEST Precision 5201 Series is a 36 inch reversible surface vertical rod exit device, the Sargent 2727 in the 20 Series is a reversible Grade 1 fire rated wide stile exit only device, and the Orca OED56 is a 36 inch standard duty non-handed vertical rod device supplied less bottom rod in an aluminum finish for 1-3/4 inch doors.
15) What Grade 1 surface vertical rod devices are comparable to the Von Duprin 7827 if I am standardizing a facility on one Grade 1 line?
Grade 1 surface vertical rod lines that run parallel to the Von Duprin 78 Series include the Dexter ED1000 Series and ED1500 Series, both Grade 1 surface vertical rod devices, the Falcon 20 Series in a 36 inch Grade 1 wide stile build for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin ED5000 Series wide stile and ED4000 Series narrow stile, both Grade 1 for 1-3/4 inch doors. All match the 7827 on Grade 1 certification, so the deciding factors are stile type, size and trim function.
16) I want a less bottom rod device - does the Von Duprin 7827 do that, or do I need a different brand?
The 7827 can be ordered less bottom rod, so a separate brand is not required for that configuration. If a pre-configured LBR device is preferred, the Orca OED56 is a 36 inch standard duty vertical rod device supplied less bottom rod, non-handed, in aluminum finish for 1-3/4 inch doors.
17) Will a BEST Precision 2201 work in place of a Von Duprin 7827?
The BEST Precision 2201 is a 36 inch wide stile surface vertical rod exit device from the 2200 Series and is non-fire-rated, so it suits a similar non-rated wide stile opening. The differences that matter are size and configuration: the 7827 is a 48 inch device with hex key dogging as standard and cylinder dogging or less dogging available, plus lever, night latch, thumbturn and dummy trim functions. Confirm the leaf width and the dogging requirement before treating the 2201 as the substitute.
18) What finishes does the Von Duprin 7827 come in for matching existing hardware in a building?
Ten finishes: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 619 satin nickel, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, 628 aluminum, 643E aged bronze, 710 dark bronze anodized and 711 flat black. For matching an existing fleet of openings, 626 satin chrome and 628 aluminum are the two most common on commercial exits, and 710 or 711 are the usual picks on dark storefront and entry systems.
19) What does the AX option on the Von Duprin 7827 change?
AX is the accessible-device configuration, ordered as a yes or no choice on the 7827. It changes the force needed to operate the push pad for openings where accessibility requirements govern. If you also want electric latch retraction on an AX device, you order QELX or HD-QELX rather than the standard QEL versions.
