Von Duprin 9827EO-F 3 US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Von Duprin 9827F work on a 1-3/4 inch hollow metal door?
That's exactly what the 9827F is built for. Door thickness is 1-3/4 inches, and it's a wide stile device, so the door needs a stile broad enough to carry an 8 x 2-3/4 x 2-3/8 inch center case. It is not rated for wood doors. Fasteners come in the box for wood or metal doors 1-3/4 and 2-1/4 inches thick, but the device itself is specified for metal.
2) Why does the 9827F have no dogging, and how do I hold the door open for deliveries?
Less Dogging is not a downgrade, it's a code requirement on a fire-rated device: mechanical dogging would hold the latches retracted and defeat the fire door. For a door that needs to stand unlatched during move-in or deliveries, order electric latch retraction instead (EL, or QEL for quiet operation) and switch it on and off from a control point. Pneumatic (PN) retraction is the third option.
3) Do I need to specify a hand for a Von Duprin 9827 vertical rod device?
The 9827 surface vertical rod device is non-handed as a base device, so the mechanism itself works either way. Handing still gets specified on the order (RHR or LHR) because trim and certain options depend on it, and the description notes handing does apply when SD, SS or WS options are added. Know your hand before you order the lever trim.
4) Can one 9827F secure a pair of doors without a mullion?
Yes. A surface vertical rod device latches at the head and at the threshold rather than into the jamb, so it holds a pair of doors with no center mullion in the opening. That's the whole reason to choose vertical rod over a rim device, which needs a mullion on a pair. Each leaf of the pair gets its own device.
5) What outside trim can I get with the Von Duprin 9827F, and what do I order for exit only?
Trim function is a choice at order time. For exit only with no outside operation, order EO. Where people need to come back in with a key, night latch functions cover it: NL, NL-OP with an optional pull, K-NL knob night latch or L-NL lever night latch. Full-time outside operation comes as K (knob), L (lever), TP (thumbpiece) or TL (thumbturn), each also available with a blank escutcheon, plus L-KC key capture and DT dummy trim. If you take an L lever function you also pick the lever design: 06 is the default, with 01, 02, 03, 05, 07, 17 and 18 available.
6) Will the 9827F latch into the strikes already on my door?
The 9827F throws its latches 3/4 inch, and it latches top and bottom rather than into the jamb, so the strikes that matter are the head strike and the floor or threshold strike, not an existing jamb strike from a rim device or a lockset. If you're coming off a different vertical rod device the strike locations are unlikely to line up exactly, so plan on setting new strikes rather than reusing what's there.
7) I need 5 lb maximum operating force for ADA. Does the 9827F do that?
Order it with the AX accessible device option. AX brings the push pad down to 5 lb of force per the 2010 ADA standard and the 2013 California Building Code. It's a yes or no selection when you configure the device, not something you can add in the field later, so decide it up front on any accessible route.
8) Will the 9827F cover the existing 86 or 161 cutout in my hollow metal door?
It covers stock hollow metal doors prepped with 86 or 161 cutouts, which is the common case when you're pulling a mortise lock or a cylindrical lockset off an existing metal door and going to panic hardware. That's what makes it a practical retrofit on an existing opening rather than a new-door-only device. Fasteners for metal doors 1-3/4 and 2-1/4 inches thick are in the box.
9) What is the closest fire-rated wide stile surface vertical rod exit device to the Von Duprin 9827F if a different brand is required?
The Von Duprin 9827F is a fire-rated, Grade 1, wide stile surface vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Adams Rite 3100 Series 30 inch fire-rated surface vertical rod exit device matches on all four of those points: fire rated, Grade 1, wide stile, and a 1-3/4 inch door thickness. The TownSteel 9700 Series EF9727 is another fire-rated Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device, sized 36 by 84 inches, and it is listed as wood door compatible where the 9827F is not. Confirm the device length matches the door leaf before ordering, since the Adams Rite is a 30 inch device and the 9827F-3ft is 36 inch.
10) The door has a narrow stile and a 9827F will not fit the rail. What surface vertical rod device should be used instead?
The Von Duprin 9827F is built for wide stile doors, so a narrow stile aluminum or glass front door needs a narrow stile device. For a fire-rated narrow stile opening, the Arrow S1150 is a fire-rated surface vertical rod exit device listed 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 and ED7400 (both Grade 1, 36 inch, 1-3/4 inch doors, the ED7400 using a crossbar rather than a push pad), the Falcon 19-V-EO and 24-V-EO at 36 inch, the Adams Rite 8200 Series, and the TownSteel ED3727. Match the stile width first; a wide stile push pad case will not land correctly on a narrow rail.
11) Which surface vertical rod exit devices look like a substitute for the 9827F but cannot be used on a fire-rated door assembly?
Several wide stile Grade 1 surface vertical rod devices are close dimensional matches to the Von Duprin 9827F but are not fire rated: the Corbin Russwin ED5400, the Falcon 20 Series and Falcon 25-V-EO, the TownSteel 8900 Series ED8927, the Adams Rite 8100 Series, and the BEST Precision 2201. Each is a surface vertical rod device on a wide stile door, and each is life-safety or panic hardware rather than fire door hardware. On a fire-rated opening the device must carry a fire listing, which is why the 9827F is specified there; the non-rated devices above suit non-rated egress openings only.
12) What is LBR (less bottom rod) and should I order the 9827F with it?
Less bottom rod removes the rod and latch that run to the floor, leaving only the top latch. Facilities pick it when the bottom strike collects dirt, gets kicked, or sits in a wet vestibule, and to clear a threshold obstruction. It's an ordering choice on the 9827F, offered as yes or no. Be aware that dropping the bottom rod changes how the leaf is held, so confirm your fire door assembly permits it before you spec it on a rated opening.
13) How much does the 9827F stick out into the opening?
Projection is 3-13/16 inches off the face of the door, with a center case of 8 x 2-3/4 x 2-3/8 inches. That number matters on a door swinging into a corridor with a required clear width, or where the leaf swings back against a wall and the push pad would hit first. Check it against your egress width before committing.
14) What is the difference between the Von Duprin 9827 and the 9927?
Mechanism case finish, not function. The 9827 has a smooth mechanism case; the 9927 is the grooved case in the same 98/99 family. Specify by which case appearance matches the rest of the openings in the building, since institutional jobs usually standardize on one look.
15) Can I get a request-to-exit or latchbolt monitor switch built into the 9827F?
Switching is an order option on the 9827F. RX gives request to exit, LX monitors the latchbolt, and LX-RX combines both. Beyond those you can take WP-RX for wet locations, RX-LC for low current, RX-2 for a double request to exit, SS signal switch, and alarm exit kits (ALK on its own, RX-ALK, or LXRX-ALK). Pick the switch when you order rather than retrofitting, and match the contact type to what your access control panel expects.
16) What do I use if I need delayed egress on a fire-rated exit door?
The 9827F upgrades to the CX (CHEXIT) configuration for delayed egress under NFPA and IBC. Push the pad and the door stays secure for 15 seconds while a nuisance alarm sounds, then releases. That's the configuration for a memory care unit, a retail back door, or any opening where you need to slow an unauthorized exit without blocking egress.
17) Is there a less expensive wide stile vertical rod device if my door is not fire rated?
If the opening isn't rated you don't need to pay for the F designation. Wide stile Grade 1 non-rated options include the Falcon 20 Series and the Falcon 25-V-EO at 36 inches for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Corbin Russwin ED5400 at 36 inches, the Adams Rite 8100 Series at 30 inches, and the TownSteel ED8927 at 36 x 84 inches. Several of those are exit only, so if you need outside trim confirm the function you're ordering.
18) What is a simpler exit-only alternative to the 9827F when no outside trim is needed?
The Von Duprin 9827F can be ordered with trim functions ranging from exit only through lever, knob, thumbturn, thumbpiece and night latch. If the opening truly needs no outside operation, several peers are built as exit-only devices from the start: the Sargent 2727, a Grade 1 fire-rated wide stile exit-only surface vertical rod device, and the Sargent 3727, a Grade 1 wide stile exit-only device with a standard push bar. Non-rated exit-only wide stile options include the Falcon 20 Series, the Falcon 25-V-EO and the Arrow 3700 Series. The trade is flexibility: the 9827F can be specified with lever or night latch trim on the same device, while an exit-only peer is fixed to that function.
19) Is a Grade 2 surface vertical rod device an acceptable step down from the Von Duprin 9827F?
The Von Duprin 9827F is certified ANSI/BHMA Grade 1, the level typically specified for high-traffic institutional openings. Grade 2 surface vertical rod alternatives include the Dexter ED2000 Series panic device and the TownSteel TS5100 Series, a heavy duty 36 by 84 inch device; neither is fire rated. Grade 2 devices are tested to a lower cycle and strength threshold than Grade 1, so on a fire-rated opening or where a Grade 1 spec is written on the drawing they are not an equivalent. On a non-rated interior opening with lighter traffic, they are a lighter-duty option. Also in the Dexter range are the Grade 1 ED1000 and ED1500 Series surface vertical rod devices, the ED1500 not fire rated.
20) Does a 9827F need to be ordered by hand, or is there a reversible device that avoids handing the order?
The Von Duprin 9827F device itself is non-handed, though handing is selected as RHR or LHR when ordering with trim. If a stocked, field-reversible device is preferred, the BEST Precision 5201 Series is a 36 inch reversible surface vertical rod device and the Sargent 2727 is a reversible Grade 1 fire-rated wide stile device; the Orca Hardware OED56 is a non-handed 36 inch exit-only device supplied less bottom rod in an aluminum finish. Of those, the Sargent 2727 is the one carrying a fire rating, so it is the reversible choice for a rated opening. The 9827F is also available in a less bottom rod configuration.
21) An inactive leaf needs matching hardware but no latching. Can a 9827F be used, and what else works?
The Von Duprin 9827F can be specified with DT dummy trim, but the device itself is a latching surface vertical rod exit device. Where the requirement is a non-latching dummy device that matches the look of the active leaf, the Sargent 12-8710 is a dummy-function fire-rated wide stile surface vertical rod device in the 8700 Series. Pair a dummy device with the active leaf hardware so both leaves read the same across the pair.
22) What finishes does the Von Duprin 9827F come in for matching existing hardware?
Twelve finishes, so matching an existing fleet is usually straightforward: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 619 satin nickel, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, 628 aluminum, 630 satin stainless, 643E aged bronze, 710 dark bronze anodized and 711 flat black. On institutional work 626 and 630 are the usual standards; 628 is the common match for aluminum storefront.
23) Can the 9827F be ordered with a braille or glow-in-the-dark push bar?
Push bar style is a required selection. Beyond the standard bar you can order BR with braille, KN knurled (the tactile warning surface used to flag a hazardous or restricted door), RSS emergency exit push bar, or SG safety glow for visibility when the lights go out. Institutional and healthcare specs frequently call for one of these, so read the door schedule before defaulting to standard.
24) What is the QM quiet mechanical option on the Von Duprin 98 series?
QM is a yes or no selection at order time that quiets the mechanical operation of the device. It's worth taking in hospitals, libraries, testing areas and anywhere a corridor door gets used constantly next to occupied space, since a standard panic device announces every use. If you're going electric on the same door, QEL is the quiet version of latch retraction.
25) What is the difference between a push pad device like the 9827F and a crossbar surface vertical rod device?
The Von Duprin 9827F uses a push pad, with a center case measuring 8 by 2-3/4 by 2-3/8 inches and a projection of 3-13/16 inches from the door face. The Corbin Russwin ED7400 is a Grade 1 narrow stile surface vertical rod device that uses a crossbar instead, on 1-3/4 inch doors, and accepts operator trim. The Sargent 3727 is a wide stile Grade 1 exit-only device with a standard push bar. Crossbar devices span the door width and are often chosen to match existing hardware on adjacent openings; push pad devices present a flatter face. On a fire-rated opening the 9827F is the rated choice of the three.
26) For a lower-traffic non-rated opening, what standard duty surface vertical rod device can be used instead of a 9827F?
The Von Duprin 9827F is a Grade 1 device built for high-use institutional openings. On a non-rated opening with lighter traffic, the Design Hardware 2000V is a 33 inch standard duty surface vertical rod device and the Design Hardware 1000V is a 33 inch heavy duty version; neither is fire rated. The Orca Hardware OED56 is a 36 inch standard duty exit-only device for 1-3/4 inch doors, non-handed and supplied less bottom rod. Check the device length against the door leaf, since the Design Hardware devices are 33 inch and the 9827F-3ft is 36 inch.
