Von Duprin 9852L 4 26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Von Duprin 9852-4FT pool exit device fit my gate door thickness?
The 9852-4FT is a single-thickness device: 1-3/4 inch doors only. It isn't rated for thicker gate leaves or wood doors, so on a 2-1/4 inch leaf you need something else. Among wide stile rim devices we carry, the DORMA 9300 Series 48 inch covers 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches.
2) Do I have enough stile on my pool gate post to mount a 9852 exit device?
Gate poles need at least 3 inches of stile width by 2 inches of depth for the 9852-4FT to mount properly. It's a wide stile device with an 8 x 2-3/4 x 2-3/8 inch center case and 3-13/16 inches of projection off the door face, so allow for that swing clearance at the gate. If your gate has narrower stiles, this isn't the device.
3) Can I use the Von Duprin 9852 on a fire-rated door?
No. The 9852-4FT pool device is not fire rated, so it cannot go on a fire door assembly. For a fire-rated rim device we stock the Marks USA M9900F in 48 inch, the Dexter ED1000 Series fire rated rim device, and the Adams Rite 3700 Series narrow stile fire-rated rim device.
4) Will the 9852-4FT latch into the strike that's already on my pool gate frame?
The latchbolt throws 3/4 inch, which is what a surface-mounted rim strike is prepped for. Rim devices latch into a strike mounted on the frame face rather than a mortised pocket, so if what's there now is a mortise or vertical rod prep, the 9852 won't drop into it without a new rim strike and frame work. Check the throw against your existing strike lip before committing.
5) Do I have to specify handing when I order a Von Duprin 9852 pool device?
The device itself is non-handed, but handing is still a required selection on the order: RHR (right hand reverse) or LHR (left hand reverse). Exit devices go on outswinging doors, so both options are reverse bevel. Get it from the outside of the gate: standing where you pull, the side the hinges sit on gives you the hand.
6) What trim options come with the 9852 pool exit device, and what do I get with each?
Three trim choices. EO is exit only, no outside operation at all, push from the inside and that's it. L gives you an outside lever, and you pick the lever design from 06 (default), 01, 02, 03, 05, 07, 17, or 18. L-BE is a lever with a blank escutcheon, no cylinder hole, for when you don't want key control from outside. The trim is weather-resistant like the device, and the 252L trim mounts at least 54 inches off finished floor or concrete.
7) Is there a panic device that actually holds up to pool chemicals outdoors?
That's exactly what the 9852-4FT is built for. Both the device and its trim use weather-resistant components made to take corrosive pool cleaners and outdoor climate exposure, and the design is patent-pending to meet International Building Code requirements for pool enclosures plus the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design. A standard indoor rim device on a chlorinated gate will corrode.
8) What is the closest 48 inch wide stile rim exit device to the Von Duprin 9852-4FT if the opening is not a pool enclosure?
The Von Duprin 9852-4FT is a 48 inch wide stile rim push pad device certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1, and its nearest peers at the same width and stile type are the Sargent 2828, a Grade 1 reversible wide stile rim device for 48 inch minimum door width, and the Corbin Russwin ED3200, a Grade 1 48 inch wide stile crossbar rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Dormakaba 9300A is also a 48 inch wide stile Grade 1 rim device, rated heavy duty, and covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness where the 9852-4FT is built for 1-3/4 inch doors. The difference that matters is construction: the 9852-4FT device and trim use weather-resistant components meant to take corrosive pool cleaners and outdoor exposure, which is why it is specified on gates and enclosures rather than interior corridors.
9) The opening needs a fire label. What rim exit device takes the place of a Von Duprin 9852-4FT?
The 9852-4FT is not fire rated, so a labeled opening needs a fire rated rim device instead. At the same 48 inch width, the Marks USA M9900F-48 is a fire rated rim panic device, exit only. In narrower widths the Marks USA M9900F is a fire rated 36 inch exit only rim device, the Orca OED85 is a fire rated 36 inch rim device, the Arrow FS1250 is a fire rated 32 inch rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Adams Rite 3700 Series is a fire rated 30 inch narrow stile rim device that is also wood door compatible. The Dexter ED1000 fire rated rim device carries Grade 1 as well. Note that fire rated devices are supplied without dogging, unlike the hex key dogging on the 9852-4FT.
10) The door is a narrow stile aluminum storefront. Can a Von Duprin 9852-4FT go on it, and if not what does?
The 9852-4FT is a wide stile device, so a narrow stile aluminum storefront rail needs a device built for that rail instead. The Adams Rite 8800 Series is a narrow stile rim device covering 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness, and the Adams Rite 8700 Series and EX88 are narrow stile Grade 1 rim devices as well. Corbin Russwin ED4200 is a Grade 1 36 inch narrow stile rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors that accepts trim, and Falcon 1590EO at 42 inch, 1790EO at 42 inch, and 19-R at 36 inch are Grade 1 narrow stile exit only rim devices for 1-3/4 inch doors. For a heavier narrow stile opening, the Detex 40 Advantex is an extra heavy duty Grade 1 narrow stile rim device and the Stanley QED200 is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim device with hex key dogging, matching the dogging style of the 9852-4FT.
11) The door is wood. Which rim exit devices work where the Von Duprin 9852-4FT will not?
The 9852-4FT is not wood door compatible. Among rim devices, the Adams Rite 3700 Series 30 inch fire rated narrow stile rim device and the Adams Rite 8700 Series 30 inch narrow stile rim device are both listed as wood door compatible. Both are narrow stile and Grade 1, so they are a different rail application than the wide stile 9852-4FT - confirm the wood door's stile width before ordering. The Adams Rite 8800 Series, despite being in the same narrow stile family, is not wood door compatible.
12) Which exit devices look like a substitute for a Von Duprin 9852-4FT but are not mechanical panic hardware?
Several bars in the same shape are not mechanical rim panic devices and will not do what the 9852-4FT does on its own. The SDC MSB550 Series 36 inch is a mechanical switch bar that releases an electromagnetic lock, and the SDC SureExit PSB560 is a pressure sense bar with tri-failsafe technology - both are exit signaling bars that depend on a separate locking device rather than latching the door themselves. The Securitron EMB is an electromechanical exit bar for 2-1/4 inch doors. The Detex Advantex 00 Series is a wide stile dummy exit device with no latching function, and the Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM is a wide stile device in dummy function with RX and MELR. The 9852-4FT is a Grade 1 rim device with a 3/4 inch latch throw and hex key dogging, latching mechanically at the strike.
13) What does hex key dogging mean on the Von Duprin 9852, and can I hold the gate unlocked during pool hours?
Yes. The 9852-4FT ships with hex key dogging, so a hex wrench holds the latchbolt retracted and the gate pushes free without operating the device. That's the setup for open pool hours; back the dogging out and it latches again at close. Note that dogging is a mechanical feature here, no power involved.
14) What size door does a 48 inch exit device cover, and is there a shorter option?
The 9852-4FT is the 4-foot device, sized for door leaves up to 48 inches wide; the push pad covers at least half the door width as panic hardware requires. For narrower leaves, the 98/99 Series is also built in shorter lengths, and among other 48 inch wide stile rim devices we stock are the Cal-Royal A9820, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 crossbar, and the DORMA 9300 Series.
15) Should I use a rim exit device or a vertical rod on my pool enclosure gate?
A rim device like the 9852 latches into a single strike on the frame at the latch edge, which is the simple choice for a single gate leaf in a frame. If you have a pair of gates with no center mullion, a rim device has nothing to catch, and you want a vertical rod instead, latching at head and threshold. The 98/99 Series is built in those configurations too: surface vertical rod (27), concealed vertical rod (47 and 48), concealed vertical cable (49 and 52), 3-point latching (57), and mortise (75). The pool-specific weather-resistant build is what the 9852 gives you.
16) Is the Von Duprin 9852 ANSI Grade 1, and what is it listed to?
Grade 1 under ANSI/BHMA A156.3 2014, and listed to ANSI/UL 305 for panic exit hardware. The 98 Series smooth mechanism case is built for high-abuse institutional traffic, which is why it turns up on school, hospital, and municipal openings as well as pool enclosures. If a spec calls for Grade 1 panic hardware on an exterior aquatic opening, this meets it.
17) Can I add request-to-exit or electric latch retraction to the 9852 later?
Yes, and that's deliberate. Field-configurable retrofit kits cover QEL electric latch retraction, RX request-to-exit switching, LX latchbolt monitoring, and CDSI/HDSI dogging indicators, so you can tie the gate into access control after the fact rather than replacing the device. Useful when a pool enclosure later gets card access or an alarm tie-in.
18) Can I put the Von Duprin 9852 on a wood gate?
No. The 9852-4FT is not wood door compatible; it's specified for metal or aluminum gate leaves with at least 3 inches of stile width and 2 inches of depth. For wood, the Adams Rite 3700 and 8700 Series narrow stile rim devices are the wood-compatible rim devices we carry, though neither is the weather-resistant pool build.
19) What's the difference between the Von Duprin 9852 and a standard 48 inch wide stile rim device?
Mechanically they do the same job, latch into a rim strike with a 3/4 inch throw on a 1-3/4 inch leaf. The difference is environment. The 9852 has weather-resistant device and trim components for corrosive pool cleaners and outdoor exposure, plus a design built around International Building Code pool enclosure requirements. Standard interior Grade 1 rim devices such as the Corbin Russwin ED5200 wide stile or the TownSteel ED1100 are the right call on a lobby or stairwell door, but they aren't specified for a chlorinated exterior gate.
20) Is a Cal-Royal 5500 the same thing as a Von Duprin 9852-4FT for a 48 inch door?
Both cover a 48 inch door, but they are not the same specification. The Von Duprin 9852-4FT is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3 2014 Grade 1 and built with weather-resistant device and trim components for outdoor pool enclosure use. The Cal-Royal 5500 is a 48 inch wide rim exit device with a push bar carrying a Grade 2 chassis rating, heavy duty. Cal-Royal's A9820 is also a 48 inch exit only rim device listed at Grade 2. If the specification on the drawing calls for Grade 1, the Cal-Royal 48 inch devices do not meet it; if the opening is interior and Grade 2 is acceptable, they are the closer functional match at that width.
21) What is a crossbar alternative to the Von Duprin 9852-4FT push pad at 48 inches?
The 9852-4FT uses a smooth case push pad. At the same 48 inch width, the CRL Jackson 1095 Series is a crossbar rim panic device in wide stile, exit only, and the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch wide stile crossbar rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors. CRL Jackson also offers the 1095P paddle rim panic device and the 1295 Series non-handed push pad rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors in wide stile, if the requirement is the actuator style rather than the crossbar itself. Sargent's 3828 is a Grade 1 reversible standard push bar rim device for 48 inch doors in wide stile.
22) We standardize on Von Duprin 9852-4FT at 48 inches. What matches it on the 36 inch openings in the same building?
For 36 inch leaves alongside a 48 inch 9852-4FT, the Grade 1 wide stile push pad peers are the BEST Precision 2101 Series 36 inch wide stile rim device, the Corbin Russwin ED2200 36 inch Grade 1 wide stile exit only rim device, the Corbin Russwin ED5200 36 inch Grade 1 wide stile device that accepts trim, the Detex 10 Advantex 36 inch wide stile extra heavy duty Grade 1 device, the TownSteel ED1100 36 inch heavy duty Grade 1 wide stile panic rim device, and the Imperial USA ED-501 36 inch Grade 1 wide stile rim panic device. The DORMA 8300 Series is a Grade 1 wide stile panic rim device as well. Keep in mind the 9852-4FT's weather-resistant construction is specific to exposed pool openings; interior leaves in the same building do not need it.
23) We need card reader control on the exit. Is there an electrified rim device to use instead of a Von Duprin 9852-4FT?
The 9852-4FT ships mechanical and takes field-configurable retrofit kits including QEL electronic latch retraction, RX request-to-exit, and LX latchbolt monitoring. If a factory electrified device is preferred, the SDC Spectra S6136 is a 36 inch electrified architectural rim exit device with a 4 inch wide stile for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors, and the Dormakaba E2103 is a 36 inch electrified rim device with 4908A trim in classroom function. The Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM is a wide stile device with RX and MELR built in, though in dummy function. These are 36 inch devices where the 9852-4FT is 48 inches, so confirm the leaf width before swapping.
24) What is the difference between a Von Duprin 9852-4FT and a Dexter ED1000 4FT rim exit device?
Both are 4 foot rim exit devices certified to Grade 1 and neither is fire rated. The Dexter ED1000 Series 4FT is an exit only Grade 1 rim device and is not wood door compatible. The Von Duprin 9852-4FT is a wide stile smooth case push pad device with a 3/4 inch latch throw, 3-13/16 inch projection, and an 8 inch by 2-3/4 inch by 2-3/8 inch center case, non-handed, with weather-resistant device and trim components for pool enclosure and other exterior openings, and it is offered with exit only, lever, and lever with blank escutcheon trim. Dexter also lists the ED1000 in a 3FT length and in a fire rated version if either of those is what the opening calls for.
25) Can a concealed vertical rod device be used in place of a Von Duprin 9852-4FT rim device?
They latch differently and are not drop-in equivalents. The 9852-4FT is a rim device with a 3/4 inch latch throw that engages a surface strike on the frame. The Hager 4501 Series is a Grade 1 36 inch concealed vertical rod exit device with a wide stile pushpad and the Hager 4601 Series is a Grade 1 36 inch concealed vertical rod narrow stile device; both latch top and bottom inside the door rather than at the frame stop, which means different door prep. If a vertical rod arrangement is wanted in the same family as the 9852-4FT, the 98/99 Series itself is built in surface vertical rod, concealed vertical rod, concealed vertical cable, 3-point latching, and mortise configurations.
26) What are the AX and QM options on the Von Duprin 9852 order?
Both are required selections. AX is the accessible device option, and QM is Quiet Mechanical, which cuts the noise the mechanism makes in operation. Pick yes or no on each when you order; they're specified at build, not added later.
27) What finishes does the Von Duprin 9852 pool device come in for an outdoor gate?
Two: 626 satin chrome and 710 dark bronze anodized. Both are available across all three trim configurations, exit only, lever, and lever with blank escutcheon. Dark bronze anodized is the usual match for bronze anodized aluminum pool fencing; satin chrome matches stainless and brushed hardware on the rest of the site.
