Heavy-Duty Concealed Vertical Cable Panic Exit Hardware for Single and Double Wood Doors

The Von Duprin 9850WDCF-3ft is a fire-rated concealed vertical cable exit device engineered for use on single or double wood doors, featuring a smooth mechanism case and wide stile push pad design sized for 36" doors. Certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3 2014 Grade 1 and listed under ANSI/UL 10C for fire-rated applications, this device delivers the highest level of panic exit hardware performance. The 9850WDC concealed vertical cable mechanism is non-handed in standard configuration, accommodating a broad range of installation scenarios, and accepts fasteners for wood or metal doors 1-3/4" and 2-1/4" thick. With a 3/4" latch throw, a center case measuring 8" x 2-3/4" x 2-3/8", and a product projection of 3-13/16", this device is purpose-built for demanding institutional and commercial environments including schools, hospitals, and government facilities.

Professional Features & Benefits

  • Fire-Rated Certification: Listed to ANSI/UL 10C and CAN/ULC-S104 for fire-rated applications, ensuring full compliance in fire-door assemblies where code-mandated protection is required.
  • ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 Certified: Certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3 2014 Grade 1—the highest industry standard—as well as ANSI/UL 305 and CAN/ULC-S132 for verified panic exit hardware performance.
  • Smooth Case Wide Stile Design: The 9850WDC smooth mechanism case and wide stile push pad provide a clean architectural profile suited to institutional and commercial door applications.
  • Precise Dimensional Specifications: Center case dimensions of 8" x 2-3/4" x 2-3/8", a 3/4" latch throw, and a 3-13/16" product projection ensure accurate fit and reliable latching performance on 36" doors with 1-3/4" door thickness.
  • Included Fasteners for Multiple Door Types: Fasteners included for wood or metal doors 1-3/4" and 2-1/4" thick, simplifying installation across compatible door configurations.
  • Non-Handed Configuration: Standard non-handed design provides installation flexibility for single or double wood door applications; handing is only required when SD (special dogging) or SS (signal switch) options are selected.
  • Hex Key Dogging: Hex key dogging configuration allows the latchbolt to be held in the retracted position for high-traffic periods, with field-configurable options available to tailor the device to facility needs.
  • Retrofit and Upgrade Ready: Compatible with a wide range of retrofit kits including CDSI/HDSI security dogging indicators, QEL electronic latch retraction, and electronic switches (RX request-to-exit, LX latchbolt monitoring) to keep pace with evolving access control technology.
  • ADA and Delayed Egress Options: Upgradeable with AX (ADA-compliant, certified to 5 lb. force requirements per 2010 ADA Chapters 404.2.7 and 30934 and 2013 California Building Code Chapter 11B-309.4) and CX CHEXIT delayed egress options meeting NFPA and IBC requirements.

Von Duprin 9850WDCEO-F 3 US26 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I have to specify handing on the 9850WDC concealed vertical cable device?
In its standard build the 9850WDC is non-handed, so one device covers left or right hand reverse openings. Handing only becomes a requirement when you add SD (special center case dogging) or SS (signal switch). If you're ordering either of those, pin down RHR or LHR before the order goes in.
2) What access control and monitoring options can I add to the Von Duprin 9850WDCF?
Plenty, and most of it is specified at order time. Switches include RX request to exit, LX latchbolt monitor, LX-RX combined, WP-RX waterproof, RX-LC low current, RX-2 double RX, SS signal switch, and the ALK alarm kit in three flavors (ALK, RX-ALK, LXRX-ALK). Latch retraction is available as EL electric, QEL quiet electric, or PN pneumatic. Dogging can be ordered as cylinder dogging (CD), with security indicator (CDSI or HDSI), special center case dogging (SD), less dogging (LD), or with a dogging indicator (DI or CI). CX CHEXIT delayed egress is also available, holding the door 15 seconds after a request to exit with a nuisance alarm.
3) What outside trim can I get with the 9850WDCF, and can I still get keyed entry?
Thirteen trim functions are offered: exit only (EO), dummy trim (DT), night latch (NL) and night latch with optional pull (NL-OP), knob in plain, blank escutcheon and night latch versions (K, K-BE, K-NL), lever in plain, blank escutcheon, key capture and night latch versions (L, L-BE, L-KC, L-NL), and thumbpiece as TP or TP-BE. Night latch and key capture functions are the keyed entry options. If you pick any L trim you also choose the lever design: 06 is the default, with 01, 02, 03, 05, 07, 17 and 18 also available.
4) What is the closest fire-rated Grade 1 concealed vertical rod alternative to the Von Duprin 9850WDCF-3ft for a wood door?
The Von Duprin 9850WDCF-3ft is a fire-rated, ANSI/BHMA Grade 1, wide stile concealed vertical cable device sized for a 36 inch door. The nearest fire-rated Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod peers are the Adams Rite 3600 Series for hollow metal doors, the Adams Rite 3900 Series rated at 1-1/2 hours, and the Sargent 12-MD8613, a fire-rated Grade 1 wide stile device in classroom function. Note the Adams Rite 3600 is specified for hollow metal rather than wood, so on a wood leaf the BEST Precision 2701 Series wide stile reversible device for wood doors is the closer door-material match, though the 9850WDCF-3ft is the one of this group that both carries a fire rating and ships fasteners for wood or metal doors 1-3/4 inch and 2-1/4 inch thick.
5) My door is a narrow stile aluminum storefront - can I use the Von Duprin 9850WDCF-3ft?
No. The Von Duprin 9850WDCF-3ft is a wide stile device with a center case measuring 8 inches by 2-3/4 inches by 2-3/8 inches, which will not fit a narrow aluminum stile. For narrow stile openings use a device built for that rail: the Adams Rite 8600 Series narrow stile concealed vertical rod for aluminum doors, the DORMA 9600BB Series 36 inch narrow stile pushpad, the Corbin Russwin ED4800 Grade 1 narrow stile, or the Falcon 24-C at 36 inches narrow stile exit only.
6) If the opening is not a fire door, what concealed vertical rod device can I use instead of the Von Duprin 9850WDCF-3ft?
The Von Duprin 9850WDCF-3ft is fire rated, which is what a fire-door assembly requires. On a non-rated opening that requirement drops away and non-fire-rated Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod devices become candidates: the Adams Rite 8500 Series for hollow metal doors and the DORMA 9100 Series wide stile pushpad, a heavy duty Grade 1 device listed for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors. The 9850WDCF-3ft is specified at 1-3/4 inch door thickness, so if the leaf is thicker than that the DORMA 9100 range is worth checking against the opening.
7) Which concealed vertical rod devices look like substitutes for the Von Duprin 9850WDCF-3ft but are not?
Three to rule out. The Falcon 1491DT is a dummy trim device with a 9970 pull at 42 inches - it provides no panic latching at all, where the 9850WDCF-3ft is a Grade 1 panic device with a 3/4 inch latch throw. The Corbin Russwin ED7800 is a crossbar device rather than a push pad, so it changes the look and the operation from the push pad style of the 9850WDCF-3ft. And the CRL Jackson 1285 push pad, while dimensionally flexible across narrow, medium or wide stiles, is an exit-only device, so it will not take the lever, knob or thumbpiece outside trim the 9850WDCF-3ft is configured with.
8) My opening is 44 inches wide - is the Von Duprin 9850WDCF-3ft the right size?
No. The Von Duprin 9850WDCF-3ft is sized for a 36 inch door. For wider leaves, concealed vertical rod options at larger sizes include the Falcon 1990EO at 44 inches narrow stile exit only, the Falcon 1491DT at 42 inches, and the CRL Jackson 1085 Series at 48 inches non-handed wide stile. The CRL Jackson 1085 is the wide stile choice among those, and the Falcon 1990EO and 1491DT are narrow stile, so confirm the stile width on the leaf before ordering.
9) What does a concealed vertical cable device do that a rim device or surface rod device does not?
A concealed vertical cable device latches top and bottom with the operating cables hidden inside the door leaf, so nothing is exposed on the face except the push pad and case. That gives you two big advantages: a pair of doors latches without a center mullion, and there are no surface rods to get kicked or vandalized in a school corridor. The tradeoff is prep. The door has to be routed for concealed hardware, which is why this one is built specifically for wood doors. If your doors aren't prepped for concealed hardware, a rim device with a removable mullion is the simpler retrofit.
10) Will the 3/4 inch latch throw work with my existing top and bottom strikes?
The 9850WDCF throws 3/4 inch at the latch. That's the standard commercial throw for panic hardware, so it will engage a properly set top strike and floor or threshold strike. What decides the retrofit is not the throw but the door prep, since the cables and latches run concealed inside the leaf. If the existing door was routed for a different concealed device, the cutouts will not line up on their own.
11) Is there an ADA compliant version of this Von Duprin exit device?
Yes, order it with the AX accessible device option. AX is certified to the 5 lb maximum operating force in 2010 ADA Chapters 404.2.7 and 30934 and 2013 California Building Code Chapter 11B-309.4. For touch and visual accessibility on the bar itself you can also specify BR braille, KN knurled (the tactile warning bar), or SG safety glow.
12) What are the alternatives to the Von Duprin 9850WDCF for a wide stile concealed vertical rod opening?
Within the fire rated wide stile group, the Adams Rite 3600 Series and 3900 Series are both Grade 1 fire rated concealed vertical rod devices, though the 3600 is built for hollow metal doors rather than wood. The Sargent 12-MD8613 is a fire rated Grade 1 wide stile device in classroom function. For wood doors specifically, the BEST Precision 2701 Series is a wide stile reversible concealed vertical rod device for wood. The Corbin Russwin ED5800 is another Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod at 1-3/4 inch door thickness. Where there's no fire label on the opening, the Adams Rite 8500 Series and DORMA 9100 Series are non fire rated Grade 1 wide stile options.
13) Can I add electric latch retraction to the 9850WDCF later, or does it have to be ordered that way?
Both routes work. EL, QEL and PN latch retraction can be specified at order time, and Von Duprin also offers retrofit kits covering QEL electronic latch retraction, CDSI and HDSI security dogging indicators, and RX and LX switches, so an installed device can be upgraded in the field as access control gets added to the opening. If you already know the door is going on a card reader, ordering it factory built as QEL saves a service call.
14) Will this Von Duprin device hold up in a high traffic school or hospital corridor?
It's certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3 2014 Grade 1, the top commercial grade for exit devices, and the 98/99 Series is built for high use, high abuse institutional openings: schools, universities, hospitals, government buildings and multi-tenant residential. Hex key dogging comes standard so the latch can be held retracted through peak traffic periods on non-labeled doors, which cuts wear on the latching mechanism considerably.
15) I only need exit-only push pad hardware with no outside trim - is there a simpler option than the Von Duprin 9850WDCF-3ft?
The Von Duprin 9850WDCF-3ft is ordered with a trim function and includes exit only (EO) among its choices, alongside knob, lever, thumbpiece and night latch options, so it can be configured exit only. If the job never needs outside trim, dedicated exit-only concealed vertical rod devices include the BEST Precision 2601 Series narrow stile non-handed exit only, the CRL Jackson 1085 Series 48 inch non-handed wide stile exit only, the Falcon 1690EO 3 ft narrow stile, and the Falcon 24-C at 36 inches. Of those, the CRL Jackson 1085 is the wide stile match, though at 48 inches rather than the 36 inch size of the 9850WDCF-3ft.
16) I need a wide stile Grade 1 concealed vertical rod that accepts outside trim - how does the Von Duprin 9850WDCF-3ft compare to the Corbin Russwin ED5800?
Both are Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod devices specified for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Corbin Russwin ED5800 is offered exit only or with trim. The Von Duprin 9850WDCF-3ft carries a fire rating and is non-handed in standard configuration, with a 3-13/16 inch projection and hex key dogging standard, and it is ordered across trim functions including lever, knob, thumbpiece and night latch. The BEST Precision 2801 Series is another wide stile concealed vertical rod option in this group.
17) For a 36 inch metal door with hex dogging, how does the Sargent MD8613F-LTRIM compare with the Von Duprin 9850WDCF-3ft?
The Sargent MD8613F-LTRIM is a heavy duty Grade 1 concealed vertical rod exit device for metal doors at 36 by 84 inches with hex dogging. The Von Duprin 9850WDCF-3ft is also Grade 1 at a 36 inch size with hex key dogging standard, is fire rated, and ships fasteners for wood or metal doors 1-3/4 inch and 2-1/4 inch thick, so it is not limited to wood. Where the two diverge is configuration breadth: the 9850WDCF-3ft is ordered across finishes from 605 bright brass through 711 flat black and 630 satin stainless, and across trim functions from exit only to lever and thumbpiece.
18) Can I match the finish of this exit device to the rest of the hardware in my building?
Twelve finishes are offered on the 9850WDCF: 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 and 630 are the usual standards to match existing openings.
