    Von Duprin 9827EO 3 US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

    1) Will the Von Duprin 9827 fit a 36 inch hollow metal door, and what door thickness does it need?
    The 9827-3ft is sized for 36 inch doors and is rated for 1-3/4 inch thick doors. It covers stock hollow metal doors with 86 or 161 cutouts, so if your door is prepped for a mortise lock or a cylindrical lock it will hide the existing prep. Fasteners ship for wood or metal doors 1-3/4 inch and 2-1/4 inch thick. Note the device is wide stile, so it needs the stile width a standard hollow metal or wood door gives you, not an aluminum storefront.
    2) Surface vertical rod or a rim device with a mullion for a pair of doors?
    A surface vertical rod device like the 9827 latches at the head and at the threshold, so a pair of doors can be secured with no mullion between them and you get the full clear opening for gurneys, carts, and furniture moves. A rim device on a pair needs a removable mullion in the middle. If you want the mullion route instead, ZenSupply carries the Von Duprin 4954 removable steel mullion for double door rim openings. The tradeoff: rods and bottom strikes sit in the traffic path and take abuse, which is why optional vertical rod and latch guards exist for the 9827.
    3) What is LBR on a Von Duprin 9827 and when should I order it?
    LBR is less bottom rod. The device latches only at the head, with nothing running down to the threshold and no floor strike. Specify it where the bottom rod would be a hazard or a maintenance problem: carts and gurneys in healthcare corridors, wet or dirty floor conditions, or an uneven threshold. If you order LBR and need access control, the ES top pullman latch is the option for electric strike applications, and it is only offered on the less bottom rod build. The standard PL top and PL bottom latch option does not apply to an LBR device.
    4) What trim function do I order on a Von Duprin 9827 if I want to get back in from the outside with a key?
    NL, night latch, is the one you want. Key from the outside retracts the latch so you can pull the door open. Variations cover the rest of the pattern: NL-OP adds an optional pull, L-NL is a lever with night latch function, and K-NL is a knob with night latch. If nobody comes back through that door from the outside, order EO for exit only. DT is dummy trim, a pull with no operation. K, L, TP, and TL cover knob, lever, thumbpiece, and thumbturn trim, with BE variants where you want a blank escutcheon. If you pick any L trim, you also pick the lever design: 06 is standard, with 01, 02, 03, 05, 07, 17, and 18 also offered.
    5) Can the Von Duprin 9827 be dogged down so the door pushes open freely during business hours?
    Yes, hex key dogging is standard on the 9827, which holds the push pad retracted for free push/pull traffic. If you would rather not hand out hex keys, order CD for cylinder dogging so it takes a keyed cylinder instead. CDSI and HDSI add a security indicator that shows at a glance whether the device is dogged, which is what most schools ask for after a lockdown drill. DI and CI are the indicator options, SD is special center case dogging, and LD is less dogging for openings where the device must never be held retracted.
    6) Will the Von Duprin 9827 latch into my existing strikes, and how far does it stick out from the door?
    Latch throw is 3/4 inch top and bottom, and the matching strikes are the Von Duprin 299 top strike and the 385A bottom strike, both listed for the 9827. If your opening already has 299 and 385A strikes from an older 9827, 9927, 9857, or 9957, they carry over. Projection off the door face is 3-13/16 inches, which is the number to check against a door that swings into a corridor or near a wall return. The center case measures 8 x 2-3/4 x 2-3/8 inches.
    7) The opening needs a fire rated surface vertical rod device. What should be specified instead of the Von Duprin 9827?
    The Von Duprin 9827-3ft is furnished non fire rated. For a fire rated opening, the fire rated surface vertical rod peers are the TownSteel 9700 Series EF9727 in 36 inch x 84 inch, Grade 1 wide stile heavy duty; the Sargent 12-8710 wide stile Grade 1, which is a dummy function device; the Sargent 2727, a Grade 1 reversible exit only device; the Adams Rite 3100 Series wide stile Grade 1 for 1-3/4 inch doors; and the Arrow S1150, exit only, less trim, for narrow or wide stile. For a 36 inch leaf carrying a label and needing outside trim, the TownSteel EF9727 is the direct match on width and stile.
    8) The door is a narrow stile aluminum leaf. Which surface vertical rod device fits instead of the Von Duprin 9827?
    The 9827-3ft is a wide stile device and needs the stile width to take its 8 inch by 2-3/4 inch by 2-3/8 inch center case. On a narrow stile leaf, the narrow stile surface vertical rod peers are the Corbin Russwin ED4400 Grade 1, the Corbin Russwin ED7400 Grade 1 crossbar device that accepts operator trim, the Falcon 19-V-EO and Falcon 24-V-EO Grade 1 exit only devices, the TownSteel 8900 Series ED3727 Grade 1 at 36 inch x 84 inch, and the Adams Rite 8200 Series Grade 1. Arrow S1150 is listed for narrow or wide stile, so one part number covers both leaf types on a mixed job.
    9) What is the closest wide stile surface vertical rod equivalent to the Von Duprin 9827-3ft from another manufacturer?
    The Von Duprin 9827-3ft is a wide stile surface vertical rod exit device for 36 inch doors, certified ANSI/BHMA Grade 1. The nearest wide stile Grade 1 peers at the same 36 inch width are the Corbin Russwin ED5400, the TownSteel 8900 Series ED8927 (36 inch x 84 inch), and the BEST Precision 2201 Series. The Falcon 20 Series 36 inch is also wide stile Grade 1 and is furnished exit only, so it suits an opening with no outside trim. The 9827 differs from all of them in trim breadth: it is built in EO, NL, L, K, TL, TP, DT and the blank escutcheon and night latch variations, so one device platform covers both the exit only and the keyed pull openings on a job.
    10) I need doors that hold for 15 seconds before releasing. Can the Von Duprin 9827 do delayed egress?
    Yes, through the CX CHEXIT upgrade. The device holds the door secure for 15 seconds after a request to exit while a nuisance alarm sounds, and the arrangement meets NFPA and IBC delayed egress requirements. This is the option for behavioral health units, memory care wings, and retail loss prevention doors. If you only need an audible on exit rather than a hold, the ALK alarm exit kit options are the simpler route, offered less switch, with RX, or with both LX and RX.
    11) What is the Grade 1 rating on the Von Duprin 9827 and which other surface vertical rod devices match it?
    The 9827 is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3 2014 Grade 1, the highest cycle and strength tier for exit devices, and is listed to ANSI/UL 305 for panic hardware plus CAN/ULC-S132. For a facility standardizing on Grade 1 surface vertical rod across brands, ZenSupply's Grade 1 wide stile options include the Corbin Russwin ED5400, the Falcon 20 Series and 25 Series, the Sargent 3727, and the TownSteel ED8927. If the opening is a narrow stile aluminum door instead, the Grade 1 narrow stile choices are the Corbin Russwin ED4400 and ED7400, the Falcon 19-V and 24-V, and the Adams Rite 8200 Series.
    12) How do I protect the bottom rod on a Von Duprin 9827 in a hospital corridor where carts hit it?
    Optional vertical rod and latch guards are made for exactly that, shielding the bottom rod from carts and gurneys. If the abuse is severe enough that guards are not the answer, order the device as LBR, less bottom rod, and there is nothing at the threshold to hit. The bottom strike, if you keep the rod, is the 385A.
    13) Can a Von Duprin 9827 be used on a wood door, or is another brand needed?
    The Von Duprin 9827-3ft is furnished for 1-3/4 inch doors and covers stock hollow metal doors with 86 or 161 cutouts; fasteners are included for wood or metal doors 1-3/4 inch and 2-1/4 inch thick. Where the schedule calls a device specifically catalogued as wood door compatible, the TownSteel 8900 Series ED8927 and 9700 Series EF9727 at 36 inch x 84 inch and the TownSteel ED3727 narrow stile all carry that designation. Confirm the wood door manufacturer's reinforcement and blocking for the device before ordering either way.
    14) Which surface vertical rod devices are reversible, and does the Von Duprin 9827 need to be handed?
    The 9827-3ft device itself is non handed except when SD special dogging, SS signal switch or WS tornado options are applied, though a handing selection is made for the trim. Among the peers, the BEST Precision 5201 Series 36 inch and the Sargent 2727 are catalogued as reversible, and the Orca Hardware OED56 36 inch is non handed. For a stocking distributor or a property manager holding spares for a mixed set of doors, that is the practical difference: a reversible or non handed device is one shelf part number for both swings.
    15) The opening only needs push to exit with no outside trim. Is a cheaper exit only device an option than the Von Duprin 9827?
    Yes. The 9827-3ft is built in an EO exit only trim function, so it covers that opening within the Von Duprin platform. If the whole job is exit only and no trim will ever be added, the dedicated exit only surface vertical rod peers are the Falcon 25-V-EO Grade 1 wide stile 36 inch, the Falcon 20 Series Grade 1 wide stile, the Arrow 3700 Series Grade 1 wide stile pushpad, and the Sargent 3727 Grade 1 wide stile with standard push bar. Specify the 9827 EO instead when the facility standardizes on one device and may later field convert other leaves to lever or night latch trim.
    16) Is a Sargent 12-8710 an acceptable substitute for a Von Duprin 9827 with lever trim?
    No, not on a functional opening. The Sargent 12-8710 is a fire rated Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device catalogued as a dummy function, meaning it does not latch or operate the rods. The Von Duprin 9827-3ft is an active device supplied in EO, L lever, K knob, NL night latch, TL thumbturn and TP thumbpiece functions among others. The 9827's own DT dummy trim and L-DT and K-DT functions are the comparable choice if the inactive leaf is what needs to be matched.
    17) Which surface vertical rod device should be used when the bottom rod has to be eliminated?
    The Von Duprin 9827-3ft is ordered with an LBR less bottom rod option, which pairs with the ES top pullman latch for electric strike applications and removes the bottom rod that carts and gurneys damage in healthcare corridors. Among the peers, the Orca Hardware OED56 36 inch is supplied less bottom rod as standard, exit only, in aluminum finish for 1-3/4 inch doors. Choose the 9827 LBR when the same opening also needs lever or night latch trim or a Grade 1 certification on the schedule.
    18) Are the 30 inch and 33 inch surface vertical rod devices a substitute for a Von Duprin 9827-3ft on a 36 inch door?
    No. The Von Duprin 9827-3ft is sized for a 36 inch door width. The Adams Rite 3100, 8100 and 8200 Series devices are 30 inch, the Arrow 3700 and S1150 are 30 inch, and the Design Hardware 1000V and 2000V are 33 inch. Exit device width has to suit the leaf width, so for a 36 inch leaf the same width peers are the Corbin Russwin ED5400 and ED4400, the BEST Precision 2201 and 5201, the Falcon 20, 24-V-EO and 25-V-EO 3 ft devices, the Orca OED56, and the TownSteel 36 inch x 84 inch devices.
    19) What finishes does the Von Duprin 9827 come in for matching the rest of a building?
    Twelve finishes, so matching an existing run of openings is usually possible: 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 Steel, 643E Aged Bronze, 710 Dark Bronze Anodized, and 711 Flat Black. For institutional corridors 626 Satin Chrome and 630 Satin Stainless are the usual specification because they hide wear from push pad traffic.
    20) Is there a quieter version of the Von Duprin 9827 for a hospital corridor or a library?
    Two things help. QM, quiet mechanical, is an order option on the 9827. Separately, the fluid damper Von Duprin calls The Quiet One is standard on all 98/99 Series devices including the 9827, so it takes the crack out of the push pad return without any option selected. For latch retraction on a noise-sensitive opening, specify QEL rather than EL.
    21) What push bar options are there on the Von Duprin 9827 for accessibility and visibility?
    Five bar choices beyond standard. BR is a braille push bar for wayfinding compliance, KN is a knurled bar which signals a hazardous or restricted door by touch, SG is a safety glow push bar for finding the exit in a smoke or power loss condition, and RSS is the emergency exit push bar. These are ordered on the device, not added later, so decide with the specifier before the order goes in.
    22) What is the difference between a crossbar surface vertical rod device and the Von Duprin 9827?
    The Von Duprin 9827-3ft uses a push pad actuator, with bar options including standard, BR braille, KN knurled, RSS emergency exit and SG safety glow. The Corbin Russwin ED7400 is a narrow stile Grade 1 crossbar surface vertical rod device that accepts operator trim, and the Sargent 3727 is a Grade 1 wide stile device with a standard push bar. Crossbar devices project a rail across the door face rather than a pad recessed into the case; where a facility is matching the look of existing openings, that actuator style is usually the deciding factor.
    23) Which Grade 1 surface vertical rod devices come in a full architectural finish range for matching existing hardware?
    The Von Duprin 9827-3ft is built in 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 steel, 643E aged bronze, 710 dark bronze anodized and 711 flat black. Among the surface vertical rod peers, the Orca Hardware OED56 36 inch is catalogued in aluminum finish. When a property manager is matching a corridor of existing lever and pull hardware rather than specifying a whole new opening, that finish spread is usually what decides the device.
