Von Duprin 9849EO 3 US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I have to specify handing on a Von Duprin 9849 concealed vertical exit device?
The device itself is non-handed, but handing still gets picked on the order, RHR or LHR, because the trim and certain options are handed. Two options make the device genuinely handed: SD, special center case dogging, and SS, the signal switch. Order either of those and the hand has to be right the first time. Straight hex key dogging with standard trim, and you have the flexibility of a non-handed stock item.
2) Will the 9849 latch into the strikes already in my head and threshold?
Latch throw on the 9849 is 3/4 inch, top and bottom. If the existing top strike and floor strike were cut for a 3/4 inch throw and sit at the same centerlines, the bolts engage. Where retrofits go wrong is door drop and worn hinges, a sagging leaf eats the engagement at the bottom before it does anything else. Check the actual gap at the head with the door closed, not the drawing.
3) Can I get the Von Duprin 9849 with electric latch retraction for access control?
Yes, three retraction options: EL electric latch retraction, QEL quiet electric latch retraction, and PN pneumatic. QEL is what you want on a hospital corridor or a library where the clack of a standard EL solenoid is a problem. Pair it with an RX request to exit switch or LX latchbolt monitor if the access control panel needs to know the door was used, or LX-RX for both. Other switch choices include RX-2 double request to exit, RX-LC low current, WP-RX waterproof for exterior openings, and SS signal switch. Note that SS makes the device handed.
4) The Von Duprin 9849 is not fire rated - what concealed vertical rod device do I use on a fire rated opening?
The Von Duprin 9849 carries no fire rating, so for a labeled opening choose a fire rated concealed vertical rod device instead. The Adams Rite 3600 Series is a fire rated Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod device for hollow metal doors, and the Adams Rite 3900 Series is fire rated Grade 1 wide stile with a 1-1/2 hour rating. On the wide stile side the Sargent 12-MD8613 is a fire rated Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device in classroom function. All three stay at Grade 1, the same performance grade as the 9849.
5) My door is a narrow stile aluminum storefront - can I use the Von Duprin 9849 on it?
The Von Duprin 9849 is a wide stile device, so a narrow stile aluminum door needs a narrow stile concealed vertical rod device instead. The Adams Rite 8600 Series is a narrow stile Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device built for aluminum doors. Other narrow stile options include the Corbin Russwin ED4800, a Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod for 1-3/4 inch doors that accepts trim, and the DORMA 9600BB, a Grade 1 narrow stile pushpad device for 36 inch doors covering 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch thicknesses - the same 36 inch door width the 9849-3ft is sized for.
6) What is the closest wide stile concealed vertical rod exit device to the Von Duprin 9849 if I am not buying Von Duprin?
The Corbin Russwin ED5800 is the nearest wide stile concealed vertical rod equivalent. It is a Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors, matching the Von Duprin 9849's Grade 1 rating, wide stile construction and 1-3/4 inch door thickness. The ED5800 is offered exit only and accepts trim; the 9849 is ordered with trim functions including exit only, night latch, knob, lever and thumbpiece variations. The DORMA 9100 is a second wide stile Grade 1 concealed vertical rod pushpad device, and it covers doors 1-3/4 inch through 2-1/4 inch.
7) How does a concealed vertical cable exit device secure a pair of doors without a mullion?
A concealed vertical rod device latches at the head and the threshold rather than into the jamb, so a pair of doors can be secured with no center mullion in the opening and the full clear width stays open. The 9849 runs cable rather than exposed rod, and the hardware is concealed inside the door, so nothing hangs on the face. The tradeoff against a rim device with a removable mullion is that a rim device is simpler to service and doesn't require a prepped door, while the concealed vertical gives you a clean face and an unobstructed opening for moving equipment or beds through.
8) How much does the 9849 push pad project off the face of the door?
Projection is 3-13/16 inches on the 9849. That's the number you check against corridor clear width, a door that swings into a tight vestibule, or anywhere a wall or adjacent leaf comes close when the door is open. The push pad style device carries the center case at 8 x 2-3/4 x 2-3/8 inches on the door face.
9) What dogging options can I order on a Von Duprin 98/99 concealed vertical device?
Hex key dogging is standard, which holds the latch retracted for push pull traffic during business hours. Beyond that you can order CD cylinder dogging, CDSI cylinder dogging with security indicator, HDSI hex dogging with security indicator, SD special center case dogging, DI dogging indicator, CI cylinder dogging indicator, or LD less dogging. The indicator versions matter in schools, staff can see from the corridor whether the door is dogged down. Pick CD if you don't want maintenance carrying an allen wrench.
10) What trim and lever choices do I specify with the 9849 exit device?
Trim function runs the full range: exit only (EO), night latch (NL) and NL-OP with optional pull, lever (L) plus L-BE blank escutcheon, L-DT dummy, L-KC key capture and L-NL night latch, knob (K) with the same BE, DT and NL variants, thumbpiece (TP) and TP-BE, and DT dummy trim. Pick EO if the door is egress only and never needs to be opened from outside. If you choose any L trim you also pick the lever design, 06 is the default, with 01, 02, 03, 05, 07, 17 and 18 also available. The catalog pairs the series with 990 pull trim and 996 lever or knob trim.
11) Can this Von Duprin device be set up for delayed egress in a memory care or retail loss prevention application?
Yes, through the CX CHEXIT upgrade. Configured that way the door stays secure for 15 seconds after someone pushes the bar while a nuisance alarm sounds, then releases. It meets NFPA and IBC delayed egress requirements. If you only need a local alarm rather than delay, the ALK alarm exit kit is the simpler route, available less switch, with RX, or with both LX and RX.
12) Is the Von Duprin 9849 Grade 1 and what standards does it meet?
Grade 1 under ANSI/BHMA A156.3 2014, the heavy duty tier, and it also carries ANSI/UL 305 and CAN/ULC-S132 for panic hardware. That combination is what a spec on an institutional job usually calls for. It does not carry a fire rating, so on labeled openings the panic listing alone won't satisfy the inspector.
13) What is the AX accessible option on the Von Duprin 98/99 series and do I need it?
AX is the accessible device upgrade, ordered yes or no on the 9849. It's what you specify when the opening has to meet reduced operating force for accessibility. Alongside it, QM quiet mechanical cuts the operating noise, and the bar itself can be ordered as a standard bar, BR braille push bar, KN knurled (the tactile warning surface used on doors leading to hazardous areas), RSS emergency exit push bar, or SG safety glow for low light egress.
14) Are mounting fasteners included with the Von Duprin 9849, or do I need to order them?
Fasteners come in the box, covering wood or metal doors at 1-3/4 inch and 2-1/4 inch thickness. What isn't in the box is the outside trim, that's a separate line on the order along with the lever design if you go with an L function. If the door isn't already prepped for a concealed device, the leaf has to be prepped too, that's not something you retrofit with a drill on site.
15) What's the wide stile equivalent to the Von Duprin 9849 from another brand?
Closest wide stile Grade 1 concealed vertical rod alternatives are the Corbin Russwin ED5800, Grade 1 wide stile, 1-3/4 inch door, exit only or accepts trim, and the DORMA 9100 Series, Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile push pad, non fire rated, 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch. The Adams Rite 8500 Series is a non fire rated Grade 1 wide stile device for hollow metal doors. The BEST Precision 2801 is a wide stile concealed vertical rod device, and the 2701 is the wide stile reversible version for wood doors. Where the 9849 pulls ahead is the option list: cable rather than rod, and the electrified and indicator choices.
16) I only need the door to open from the inside. Is there a cheaper concealed vertical rod device than a full Von Duprin 9849?
Order the 9849 in EO, exit only, trim function and you skip the outside trim entirely, which is the bulk of the cost on a device like this. If you're outfitting exit only openings and don't need the Von Duprin option list, several dedicated exit only devices cover it: the Falcon 24-C Series Grade 1 at 36 inches (narrow stile), the Falcon 1690EO at 3 ft, the CRL Jackson 1085 Series 48 inch non-handed wide stile, or the BEST Precision 2601, narrow stile, non-handed. Watch the stile type, the Falcon and BEST options listed here are narrow stile and won't drop onto a wide stile hollow metal leaf.
17) Can I upgrade an existing Von Duprin 98/99 concealed vertical device without replacing the whole thing?
The 9849 takes a run of field configurable upgrades: CDSI and HDSI security dogging indicators, QEL quiet electric latch retraction, RX request to exit and LX latchbolt monitoring switches, the AX accessible upgrade, CX CHEXIT delayed egress, and the XP patented two piece latchbolt. That matters on a campus that standardizes on 98/99, you add access control monitoring or delayed egress to specific openings later instead of tearing out hardware.
18) Which functions does the Von Duprin 9849 support for a classroom or a storeroom door?
Classroom, storeroom, passage, exit only and dummy are all supported, using 990 pull trim or 996 lever or knob trim. Storeroom is the one for mechanical and janitor rooms, outside trim is always locked and takes a key, egress is always free from the push pad. Classroom keeps the lever operable and is keyed from the outside. On a non fire rated corridor door where you want free passage during the day, hex key dogging plus passage trim does the job.
19) I only need egress on the door with no outside trim - is there a simpler alternative to the Von Duprin 9849?
If the opening never needs outside operation, an exit only concealed vertical rod device covers it. The CRL Jackson 1085 Series is a non-handed exit only concealed vertical rod panic device in wide stile, and the Falcon 24-C is a Grade 1 exit only narrow stile concealed vertical rod device for 36 inch doors. The Von Duprin 9849 is also non-handed and can be ordered in an EO exit only trim function, so it covers the same use while remaining upgradeable to knob, lever, thumbpiece or night latch trim later.
20) What concealed vertical rod exit device should I use on a wood door instead of the Von Duprin 9849?
For a wood door, the BEST Precision 2701 Series is a wide stile reversible concealed vertical rod exit device specified for wood doors. The Von Duprin 9849 ships with fasteners for wood or metal doors 1-3/4 inch and 2-1/4 inch thick, so the fastener package covers wood, but the 2701 is the device built specifically around wood door application. The BEST Precision 2801 Series is another wide stile concealed vertical rod option in the same family.
21) Is a dummy trim concealed vertical rod device like the Falcon 1491DT a substitute for the Von Duprin 9849?
No. The Falcon 1491DT is a dummy function narrow stile device with a 9970 pull, meaning it does not latch or operate - it is used on the inactive leaf or for appearance matching. The Von Duprin 9849 is a Grade 1 latching panic device with a 3/4 inch latch throw and hex key dogging, and it is wide stile rather than narrow stile. The 9849 does offer DT dummy trim and L-DT and K-DT trim functions if the requirement is dummy trim on an otherwise working device.
22) I need a crossbar concealed vertical rod device rather than a push pad - what is the alternative to the Von Duprin 9849?
The Von Duprin 9849 is a push pad style device. For a crossbar actuator, the Corbin Russwin ED7800 is a Grade 1 narrow stile crossbar concealed vertical rod exit device for 1-3/4 inch doors that accepts operator trim. It shares the 9849's Grade 1 rating and 1-3/4 inch door thickness, and differs in actuator style and in being narrow stile rather than wide stile.
23) Is the Falcon 1690EO or 1990EO a drop-in replacement for a Von Duprin 9849?
Not on a wide stile door. The Falcon 1690EO and the Falcon 1990EO are both Grade 1 exit only concealed vertical rod devices for 1-3/4 inch doors, but both are narrow stile, while the Von Duprin 9849 is wide stile. The 1690EO is a 3 ft device and the 1990EO is 44 inch. Door thickness matches at 1-3/4 inch across all three, so the deciding factor is stile width and whether outside trim is needed - the 9849 supports classroom, storeroom, passage and night latch trim arrangements while both Falcon devices are exit only.
24) What finishes does the Von Duprin 9849 come in to match the other doors in my building?
Twelve finishes on the 9849: 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 fleet of openings, 630 satin stainless and 626 satin chrome are the usual institutional standards and hide wear on high traffic doors. Match by BHMA number off the existing hardware, not by the name on the invoice, the names vary between manufacturers but the numbers don't.
25) I have a mix of narrow, medium and wide stile doors - is there one concealed vertical rod device that covers all of them?
The CRL Jackson 1285 push pad concealed vertical rod panic exit is listed for narrow, medium or wide stile doors in exit only function, which suits a mixed door fleet where standardizing on one part matters more than trim options. The Von Duprin 9849 is a wide stile device, so it applies to the wide stile doors in that fleet, and it carries a Grade 1 rating with a broader trim range including knob, lever, thumbpiece and night latch functions.
26) For a school where doors need to be doggable during class change, what should I compare against the Von Duprin 9849?
The Von Duprin 9849 comes with hex key dogging standard and can be configured with cylinder dogging or dogging with a security indicator, which lets staff hold the latch retracted for push and pull traffic. Among comparable wide stile Grade 1 concealed vertical rod devices, the Sargent MD8613F-LTRIM is a heavy duty Grade 1 metal door device with hex dogging, and the DORMA 9100 is a heavy duty Grade 1 wide stile pushpad device. On a labeled corridor opening the Sargent 12-MD8613 is a fire rated Grade 1 classroom function device, where the 9849 is not fire rated.
