    Von Duprin 9927EO-F 3 US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

    1) Will the Von Duprin 9927F work on a wood door?
    No. The 9927F-3ft is not wood door compatible, and it's built to cover stock hollow metal doors with 86 or 161 cutouts. If your opening is a fire-rated wood door, look at the TownSteel 9700 Series EF9727, a fire rated Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device that is listed as wood door compatible.
    2) What door thickness does the Von Duprin 9927F-3ft fit, and are the screws included?
    The device is specified for 1-3/4 inch doors, which is the standard commercial thickness. Fasteners ship with it for wood or metal doors 1-3/4 inch and 2-1/4 inch thick, so a thicker 2-1/4 inch metal leaf is covered on the hardware side. Allow 3-13/16 inches of projection off the door face when you check clearance to a wall or adjacent leaf.
    3) Can I use a surface vertical rod exit device on a pair of doors with no mullion?
    That is what a surface vertical rod device is for. It latches at the head and at the threshold rather than into the jamb, so a pair of doors can be secured without a center mullion and each leaf swings free. A rim device latches into the frame or a mullion, so on a mullion-less pair you would need the vertical rod. The Von Duprin 9927F-3ft is the fire rated, wide stile version of that type, with a 3/4 inch latch throw top and bottom.
    4) Is the Von Duprin 9927F fire rated, and what standards does it carry?
    Fire rated, yes. The 9927F is listed under ANSI/UL 10C and CAN/ULC-S104 for fire door assemblies, and certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3 2014 Grade 1, plus ANSI/UL 305 and CAN/ULC-S132 for panic hardware. That combination is what a fire-rated egress opening in a school, hospital, or government building needs on the drawing.
    5) Why does the 9927F come less dogging, and can I dog it open during business hours?
    No, and that isn't a missing option. The 9927F is supplied less dogging because mechanical dogging is not permitted on a fire-rated opening, where the latches have to stay projected to keep the door assembly rated. If you need the door to push free during the day, that has to be handled with electric latch retraction (EL or QEL) tied into your access control, or you need a non-fire-rated device on that opening.
    6) What do I have to specify when ordering a Von Duprin 9927F-3ft?
    Handing and trim are the two that get orders wrong. Even though the device itself is non-handed, you pick RHR or LHR at order time, plus a trim function from 15 choices running from EO exit only, night latch (NL, NL-OP), knob (K, K-BE, K-NL), lever (L, L-BE, L-KC, L-NL), thumbturn (TL, TL-BE), thumbpiece (TP, TP-BE), and dummy trim (DT). If you take an L trim you also choose the lever design: 01, 02, 03, 05, 06, 07, 17, or 18. Then finish (twelve, 605 through 711), AX accessible operation yes or no, QM quiet mechanical yes or no, LBR less bottom rod, bar style (standard, braille, knurled, RSS, safety glow), and optionally a switch (RX, LX, LX-RX and variants, ALK) or latch retraction (EL, QEL, PN).
    7) Will the 9927F fit my narrow stile aluminum storefront door?
    No. The 9927F is a wide stile device with a center case measuring 8 x 2-3/4 x 2-3/8 inches, which won't land on the narrow stile of an aluminum glass door. For narrow stile openings, the Corbin Russwin ED4400 and the Falcon 19-V-EO are Grade 1 narrow stile surface vertical rod devices, and the Arrow S1150 is a fire rated surface vertical rod device listed for narrow or wide stile.
    8) Can I tie a Von Duprin 9927F into my access control system?
    Yes, and you specify it on the order rather than adding it later. Latch retraction is available as EL electric, QEL quiet electric, or PN pneumatic. For monitoring, the switch options are RX request to exit, LX latchbolt monitor, LX-RX combined, WP-RX waterproof, RX-LC low current, RX-2 double request to exit, SS signal switch, and the ALK alarm kit variants (ALK, RX-ALK, LXRX-ALK). CX CHEXIT delayed egress with a 15 second delay is also available and meets NFPA and IBC requirements.
    9) Does the Von Duprin 9927F meet ADA push force requirements?
    Only with the AX option. AX is the accessible device configuration, certified to the 5 lb. force requirement of 2010 ADA Chapters 404.2.7 and 30934 and 2013 California Building Code Chapter 11B-309.4. It's a yes/no choice when you order, so a standard 9927F ordered without AX doesn't carry that certification. Facilities standardizing on accessible egress should spec AX across the openings.
    10) What is the closest equivalent to a Von Duprin 9927F if I need a fire rated wide stile surface vertical rod device from another manufacturer?
    The Von Duprin 9927F-3ft is a fire rated, Grade 1, wide stile surface vertical rod exit device for 1-3/4 inch doors at 36 inches. The closest cross-brand matches on those same points are the Adams Rite 3100 Series 30 inch, which is fire rated Grade 1 wide stile for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the TownSteel 9700 Series EF9727, a fire rated Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile device sized 36 by 84 inches. Sargent's 2727 is also Grade 1 fire rated wide stile in an exit only function. If the opening is a 36 inch leaf, the TownSteel EF9727 and Sargent 2727 land on the same width class; the Adams Rite 3100 is catalogued at 30 inches.
    11) Which surface vertical rod exit devices are not fire rated and should not be substituted on a fire rated opening?
    A fire rated opening needs a device carrying a fire rating, as the Von Duprin 9927F-3ft does. Several surface vertical rod devices that otherwise look similar are catalogued with no fire rating and belong on non-rated openings only: the Adams Rite 8100 Series 30 inch and 8200 Series 30 inch life-safety devices, the Corbin Russwin ED5400 and ED4400, the Falcon 20 Series and 25 Series wide stile devices, the BEST Precision 2201 and 5201, the Design Hardware 1000V and 2000V, the Orca OED56, and the TownSteel ED8927 and TS5100. They are panic hardware for egress, not fire door hardware, and swapping one onto a labeled opening breaks the label.
    12) I need a vertical rod exit device on a wood door - can I use the 9927F?
    The Von Duprin 9927F-3ft is catalogued as not wood door compatible; its fasteners are supplied for wood or metal doors 1-3/4 inch and 2-1/4 inch thick, but the device itself is specified for hollow metal. For a wood leaf, the TownSteel devices carry wood door compatibility: the 9700 Series EF9727 is fire rated Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile at 36 by 84 inches, the ED8927 is Grade 1 wide stile, and the ED3727 is Grade 1 narrow stile. If the wood door is fire labeled, the EF9727 is the one of those three that carries a fire rating.
    13) Is the Sargent 12-8710 a substitute for a Von Duprin 9927F on an active leaf?
    No. The Sargent 12-8710 is a fire rated Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device in a dummy function, meaning it is inactive hardware that matches the look of a working device without latching or releasing. The Von Duprin 9927F-3ft is a working exit device with a 3/4 inch latch throw. A 12-8710 belongs on the inactive leaf of a pair where the appearance needs to match; anything that has to provide egress needs a functioning device. The 9927F does offer DT dummy trim as a trim function if the requirement is a dummy outside trim rather than a dummy device.
    14) I want a device supplied less bottom rod to keep the floor clear - what are my options?
    The Von Duprin 9927F-3ft can be ordered with the LBR less bottom rod option, which removes the bottom rod and latch so carts and gurneys are not passing over floor hardware. Among peers, the Orca OED56 36 inch standard duty device is supplied less bottom rod as its catalogued configuration for 1-3/4 inch doors in an exit only function. The difference to weigh: the Orca OED56 is not fire rated, while the 9927F is, so on a labeled opening the LBR configuration of the 9927F is the one that keeps the rating intact.
    15) Should I order the 9927F less bottom rod for a hospital corridor?
    LBR is the usual call anywhere carts, gurneys, or pallet jacks cross the opening, because the bottom rod and bottom latch are what get bent and torn off. The 9927F-3ft is offered less bottom rod. If you keep the bottom rod, Von Duprin vertical rod and latch guards are available to shield it from cart damage. Note that dropping the bottom rod changes how the leaf is secured at the threshold, so confirm the LBR configuration is acceptable on your fire-rated assembly.
    16) What is the difference between the Von Duprin 9927 and the 9827?
    Mechanically they are the same wide stile surface vertical rod device; the difference is the case. The 9927 (99 Series) has a grooved mechanism case, and the 9827 (98 Series) has a smooth case. Both come out of the 98/99 Series, so if you're matching the look of devices already installed elsewhere in the building, pick the case profile that matches rather than assuming either one works.
    17) Is the 9927F handed, and do I need to know the hand before I order?
    The device itself is non-handed, so one device covers either swing, except when the SD, SS, or WS options are used. That said, handing is a required selection on the order (RHR or LHR), and outside trim such as a lever is handed in practice, so get the hand off the door before you place the order.
    18) What is a lighter duty or Grade 2 alternative to a Grade 1 surface vertical rod exit device?
    The Von Duprin 9927F-3ft is certified Grade 1. Where the traffic does not call for Grade 1, the Dexter ED2000 Series is a Grade 2 surface vertical rod panic device and the TownSteel TS5100 Series is a Grade 2 heavy duty device at 36 by 84 inches. Design Hardware splits its line by duty rather than grade: the 1000V 33 inch is its heavy duty surface vertical rod and the 2000V 33 inch is standard duty. All four are catalogued without a fire rating, so they are for non-labeled openings.
    19) If I only need exit only with no outside trim, is there a simpler surface vertical rod device than the 9927F?
    The Von Duprin 9927F-3ft is ordered with a trim function, and one of the choices is EO for exit only. If the opening never needs outside operation, several peers are built exit only from the start: the Falcon 25-V-EO wide stile 36 inch, the Falcon 20 Series wide stile 36 inch Grade 1, the Sargent 3727 Grade 1 wide stile with a standard push bar, the Arrow 3700 Series 30 inch Grade 1 wide stile pushpad, and the Orca OED56 36 inch standard duty device supplied less bottom rod. For a fire rated exit only opening, the Arrow S1150 30 inch and the Sargent 2727 are the fire rated members of that group.
    20) Does the 9927F need to be ordered by hand, or is there a reversible surface vertical rod device?
    The Von Duprin 9927F-3ft is non-handed, though handing is still selected when ordering because of the trim and option combinations. If a stocked reversible device is what a shop wants to keep on the shelf, the BEST Precision 5201 Series 36 inch is catalogued as reversible, and the Sargent 2727 is a reversible Grade 1 fire rated wide stile device. Between those two, the 2727 is the one carrying a fire rating; the 5201 is not fire rated.
    21) Which Grade 1 surface vertical rod devices accept outside operator trim like the 9927F does?
    The Von Duprin 9927F-3ft is ordered with a wide range of trim functions including lever, knob, thumbturn, thumbpiece, night latch, and key capture variants. Among Grade 1 peers, the Corbin Russwin ED5400 wide stile and ED4400 narrow stile are catalogued as exit only or accepts trim, and the ED7400 narrow stile crossbar accepts operator trim. Arrow's S1150 is supplied as device only less trim, so trim is a separate line item there. Note that the ED4400, ED5400, and ED7400 are not fire rated, so on a labeled opening the trim question is decided before the trim itself.
    22) What Grade 1 surface vertical rod exit devices are available if I want to standardize a facility on one line across rated and non-rated openings?
    The Von Duprin 9927F-3ft is Grade 1 and fire rated, and it sits in the 98 and 99 Series with a matching non-grooved case sibling in the 9827. Other brands split rated and non-rated within a family the same way. Dexter offers the ED1000 Series and ED1500 Series both at Grade 1, with the ED1500 catalogued as non fire rated. TownSteel spans it across lines: the 9700 Series EF9727 fire rated Grade 1 wide stile for labeled openings and the 8900 Series ED8927 Grade 1 wide stile for non-rated. Corbin Russwin covers the same ground with the ED5000 Series wide stile and ED4000 Series narrow stile, both Grade 1. Standardizing means confirming which member of the family carries the rating before assigning it to a labeled door.
    23) My opening is narrower than 36 inches - what surface vertical rod devices come in a shorter length?
    The Von Duprin 9927F-3ft is a 36 inch device. For narrower leaves, the Adams Rite 3100 Series is catalogued at 30 inches and is fire rated Grade 1 wide stile for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Arrow S1150 is a 30 inch fire rated device for narrow or wide stile. Non-rated 30 inch options include the Adams Rite 8100 Series wide stile, the Adams Rite 8200 Series narrow stile, and the Arrow 3700 Series wide stile pushpad. Design Hardware splits the difference with 33 inch devices in the 1000V heavy duty and 2000V standard duty lines.
    24) Is a crossbar exit device interchangeable with a push pad device like the 9927F?
    Not directly. The Von Duprin 9927F-3ft uses a push pad style actuator in a wide stile case measuring 8 by 2-3/4 by 2-3/8 inches with a 3-13/16 inch projection. The Corbin Russwin ED7400 is a Grade 1 narrow stile crossbar surface vertical rod device that accepts operator trim, and a crossbar sits differently on the door face and reads differently to anyone used to a pad. Sargent's 3727 is a Grade 1 wide stile device with a standard push bar. If the rest of a facility runs push pads, the crossbar device changes both the look and the touch of the opening, and the ED7400 is also narrow stile and not fire rated.
    25) Will the Von Duprin 9927F match the finish on the other exit devices in my building?
    Twelve finishes are offered: 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. 626 satin chrome and 630 satin stainless are the two you'll most often find already on institutional openings, so check the number stamped on the existing device rather than matching by eye.
    26) What pushbar options are available if I need braille or a glow-in-the-dark bar for code compliance?
    Five bar styles are offered on the 9927F: standard bar, BR braille pushbar, KN knurled bar, RSS emergency exit push bar, and SG safety glow pushbar. Knurled bars are the traditional tactile warning on hazardous-area doors, and the safety glow bar helps locate egress in a smoke or power-loss condition. Pick the bar at order time; it's a required selection.
