    Von Duprin 9827EO 4 US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

    1) Will the Von Duprin 9827 work on a pair of doors with no center mullion?
    That's exactly what a surface vertical rod device is for. The 9827 latches into the frame at the head and into the floor strike at the threshold instead of into a strike on an adjacent door, so a pair of doors can be secured without a center mullion and both leaves stay active. If you'd rather use rim devices on a pair, you need a removable mullion between them, such as the Von Duprin 4954 removable steel mullion.
    2) What door thickness does the Von Duprin 9827-4ft fit, and can I put it on a wood door?
    The 9827 is specified for a 1-3/4 inch door, the standard commercial thickness. Fasteners ship for wood or metal doors 1-3/4 inch and 2-1/4 inch thick, but the device itself is not rated for wood door use, so plan it on hollow metal. It covers stock hollow metal doors with 86 or 161 cutouts, which means you can drop it onto a door already prepped for a mortise or cylindrical lock without a filler plate showing. If your opening is a wood door, look at a device listed for wood, such as the TownSteel ED8927 wide stile surface vertical rod.
    3) Do I have to specify a hand when ordering a 9827 surface vertical rod device?
    The 9827 is a non-handed device in its base form, so one part number covers left and right openings. Handing is still selected on the order (RHR or LHR) and it becomes a real constraint once you add SD special center case dogging, SS signal switch, or the WS tornado/hurricane option, since those versions are handed. If you're stocking spares for a building, the plain hex-dogging version is the one that stays interchangeable across openings.
    4) What trim do I need to order with a Von Duprin 9827, and can it be locked from outside?
    Trim function is a separate choice on the order and it decides how the door behaves from the pull side. Exit only (EO) gives you no outside operation at all. Night latch (NL) lets a key retract the latch for entry. Lever and knob functions (L, K, and their variants including L-NL, L-BE, L-KC, K-NL, K-DT) give a full outside operator, and there's also thumbturn (TL), thumbpiece (TP), dummy trim (DT), and night latch with optional pull (NL-OP). If you pick an L lever function you also pick the lever design: 06 is the default, with 01, 02, 03, 05, 07, 17 and 18 also available. Egress from the inside is always free regardless of trim.
    5) Will the 9827 latch into my existing floor and head strikes?
    Latch throw is 3/4 inch top and bottom, so the strikes have to accept that depth. The matching Von Duprin strikes are the 299 top strike for 98/99 Series and the 385A bottom strike, which is the strike listed for 9827 devices specifically. If the opening currently has a different brand of vertical rod device, plan on replacing both strikes rather than reusing them.
    6) Can I add electric latch retraction or a request-to-exit switch to a Von Duprin 9827 later?
    Both, and either at order time or in the field. On the order you can specify QEL quiet electric latch retraction, EL electric latch retraction, or PN pneumatic, plus switches: RX request to exit, LX latchbolt monitoring, LX-RX combined, RX-2 double RX, RX-LC low current, WP-RX waterproof, SS signal switch, and the ALK alarm exit kit variants. For devices already hanging, the Von Duprin 040061 QEL modular conversion kit covers 98/99 Series 3 foot and 4 foot devices, so an existing 9827-4ft can be converted to quiet electric latch retraction without replacing the device.
    7) The opening is a fire rated door pair - can a 9827 surface vertical rod device be used?
    No. The Von Duprin 9827-4ft carries a fire rating of No, so it belongs on a panic-only opening, not a labeled fire door. For a fire rated surface vertical rod opening, the fire rated peers are the Adams Rite 3100, a Grade 1 wide stile fire rated surface vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Sargent 2727, a Grade 1 fire rated reversible wide stile surface vertical rod device, the TownSteel EF9727, a Grade 1 fire rated heavy duty wide stile surface vertical rod device, and the Arrow S1150, a fire rated surface vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors in narrow or wide stile. This is the single most important check before ordering, because a non fire rated device on a labeled door will not pass inspection.
    8) What surface vertical rod exit device fits an aluminum storefront door instead of the 9827?
    The Von Duprin 9827-4ft is a wide stile device, and a wide stile push pad needs the stile width a hollow metal or wide stile door provides. On a narrow stile aluminum door, the narrow stile surface vertical rod peers are the Adams Rite 8200, a Grade 1 narrow stile life safety device, the Corbin Russwin ED4400, a Grade 1 narrow stile device that accepts trim on 1-3/4 inch doors, the Falcon 19-V-EO, a Grade 1 narrow stile exit only device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the TownSteel ED3727, a Grade 1 narrow stile device. The Corbin Russwin ED7400 is also narrow stile but uses a crossbar rather than a push pad and accepts operator trim. None of these are fire rated.
    9) What is the closest wide stile surface vertical rod exit device to the Von Duprin 9827 if a different manufacturer is specified?
    The Von Duprin 9827-4ft is a wide stile surface vertical rod device certified to ANSI/BHMA Grade 1. The closest peers by construction are the Corbin Russwin ED5400, a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Sargent 3727, a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device with a standard push bar, and the TownSteel ED8927, a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device. All three share the wide stile push bar format and the Grade 1 certification that a hollow metal institutional opening is usually specified around. The ED5400 and ED8927 come in 36 inch widths, so confirm the door width before swapping against the 48 inch 9827.
    10) The 9827 will not go on a wood door - what surface vertical rod device will?
    The Von Duprin 9827-4ft is listed as not wood door compatible. The surface vertical rod peers that are wood door compatible are the TownSteel EF9727, a Grade 1 fire rated heavy duty wide stile device, the TownSteel ED8927, a Grade 1 wide stile device, and the TownSteel ED3727, a Grade 1 narrow stile device. Pick the EF9727 if the wood door is labeled, since it is the fire rated one of the three; the ED8927 and ED3727 carry a fire rating of No and differ from each other by stile width.
    11) What looks like a substitute for the 9827 but will not actually function as an exit device?
    The Sargent 12-8710 is a fire rated wide stile surface vertical rod device in the 8700 Series with a product function of Dummy. It reads as a peer of the Von Duprin 9827-4ft on stile type, Grade 1 and surface vertical rod construction, but a dummy device does not latch or retract - it is the inactive push bar used on the inactive leaf of a pair or for appearance matching. If the leaf needs to latch and release, the 12-8710 is not the item. Match the 9827, which is a working panic device with a 3/4 inch latch throw, against a device with a function of exit only or one that accepts trim.
    12) How much does the 9827 stick out from the door face, and will it clear my door swing?
    Projection is 3-13/16 inches off the door face for the 9827. That's the number to check against a wall, an adjacent leaf, or a corridor clearance where the door swings back flat. The center case itself measures 8 x 2-3/4 x 2-3/8 inches.
    13) Can I hold the doors open during business hours with a Von Duprin 9827?
    Hex key dogging is standard, so a hex wrench holds the pushpad down and the latches retracted for push-pull operation during the day. If you don't want a loose hex key in the building, cylinder dogging (CD) swaps it to a keyed cylinder. CDSI and HDSI add a security indicator so staff can see at a glance whether the device is dogged, DI and CI are the dogging indicator versions, SD is special center case dogging, and LD deletes dogging entirely. Note that SD makes the device handed.
    14) What does the AX option do on a Von Duprin exit device, and do I need it for ADA?
    AX makes the device an accessible one, certified to the 5 pound maximum operating force in 2010 ADA sections 404.2.7 and 309.4 and 2013 California Building Code chapter 11B-309.4. If your facility is being inspected against those operating force limits, specify AX on the order; it's a yes/no selection, not a field upgrade you get for free. If delayed egress is what you're after instead, the CX CHEXIT option provides a 15 second door hold with a nuisance alarm and meets NFPA and IBC requirements.
    15) The bottom rod keeps getting hit by carts. Is there a less bottom rod version of the 9827?
    Not on the 9827-4ft, which is built with both rods. Two things help instead: vertical rod and latch guards are available to protect the bottom rod from cart and gurney impact, and the 050493 bottom latch kit replaces a damaged bottom latch without swapping the whole device. If a truly rod-free bottom is what the traffic demands, the Orca Hardware OED56 Series is a less bottom rod surface vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors.
    16) Is the Von Duprin 9827 Grade 1, and what is it listed to?
    Grade 1 under ANSI/BHMA A156.3 2014, and UL listed as panic exit hardware to ANSI/UL 305. It's a commercial device, specified for schools, hospitals and government work where a spec calls out Grade 1 panic hardware. It is not a fire exit device, so don't write it into a fire-rated opening.
    17) What's a lower-cost alternative to a Von Duprin 9827 for a light-traffic back door?
    The 9827 is built for high-abuse institutional traffic, which is more device than a low-use service door needs. For lighter duty we carry the Design Hardware 2000V, a standard duty surface vertical rod device, and the TownSteel TS5100 Series, a Grade 2 heavy duty wide stile surface vertical rod. The Dexter ED2000 Series is another Grade 2 surface vertical rod panic device. All three are non-fire-rated, same as the 9827, so they suit egress-only openings rather than rated stair or corridor doors.
    18) Is there a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device from another brand that's equivalent to the Von Duprin 9827?
    Several. The Corbin Russwin ED5400 is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod for 1-3/4 inch doors that accepts trim, the Falcon 20 Series and Falcon 25 Series are Grade 1 wide stile devices for the same thickness, and the Sargent 3727 is a Grade 1 wide stile device with a standard push bar. Where the 9827 stands apart is the option depth: hex, cylinder and indicating dogging, QEL and EL latch retraction, RX and LX switching, AX accessible and CX delayed egress, all on one platform. If the spec just calls for Grade 1 wide stile panic hardware on a non-rated opening, any of those substitute.
    19) Is there a simpler exit only surface vertical rod device for a back of house door that never needs outside trim?
    The Von Duprin 9827-4ft is offered with a full range of outside trim functions, from exit only through knob, lever, thumbturn, thumbpiece and night latch. For an opening that will never take outside trim, the exit only peers are the Falcon 25-V-EO, a Grade 1 wide stile exit only surface vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Falcon 20 Series, a Grade 1 wide stile exit only device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Arrow 3700, a wide stile push pad exit only device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Orca OED56, a standard duty exit only device for 1-3/4 inch doors supplied less bottom rod in aluminum finish and non-handed. Exit only devices have no outside cylinder or trim prep, so plan for a separate pull if the door needs one.
    20) Which surface vertical rod devices are reversible rather than ordered by hand?
    The Von Duprin 9827-4ft is non-handed in its base configuration, and handing is specified as RHR or LHR at order for the trim. Two peers are described as reversible in the field: the BEST Precision 5201, a surface vertical rod device that is reversible, and the Sargent 2727, a Grade 1 fire rated reversible wide stile surface vertical rod device. Reversibility matters when a shop is stocking one device for a mix of openings rather than pulling a specific hand for each door.
    21) For a non fire rated life safety opening, how does the Adams Rite 8100 compare with the Von Duprin 9827?
    The Adams Rite 8100 is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod life safety device with a fire rating of No, matching the Von Duprin 9827-4ft on grade, stile type and fire rating. Both suit a panic-only egress opening rather than a labeled door. The 8100 is offered at 30 inches; the 9827 is a 48 inch push pad for a 1-3/4 inch door with a 3-13/16 inch projection off the face, so measure both the leaf width and the clearance in the swing path before choosing.
    22) I need the exit devices to match the other hardware in the building. What finishes does the 9827 come in?
    Twelve finishes on the 9827: 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 a building already standardized on BHMA 626 satin chrome or 630 satin stainless, those are the two most common commercial finishes and both are stocked here.
    23) Can I get a braille or glow-in-the-dark push bar on a Von Duprin 9827?
    Bar style is a required selection. Beyond the standard bar you can order BR braille pushbar, KN knurled bar, RSS emergency exit push bar, or SG safety glow pushbar. Knurled bars are the usual choice where a tactile warning is wanted on a hazardous-area door, and safety glow helps in a stairwell or corridor that goes dark on a power loss.
    24) What Grade 1 surface vertical rod exit devices are available from Dexter as an alternative to the Von Duprin 9827?
    Dexter offers two Grade 1 surface vertical rod exit device lines: the ED1000 Series and the ED1500 Series, the latter carrying a fire rating of No. Both meet the same ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 certification as the Von Duprin 9827-4ft, so the grade line on a specification is satisfied either way. Where they part company from the 9827 is options depth - the 9827 is ordered with a choice of dogging arrangements including cylinder dogging and security indicator versions, electric and quiet electric latch retraction, and RX or LX switch packages, which is what an opening tied into access control usually needs.
