    Von Duprin 9927EO 4 US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

    1) Can a surface vertical rod exit device secure a pair of doors without a mullion?
    Yes, and that's the main reason to pick one. A surface vertical rod device like the 9927 latches at the head and at the threshold with a 3/4 inch latch throw, so each leaf holds on its own and a pair needs no removable mullion in the middle. That keeps the full clear opening for gurneys, carts and freight. A rim device on the same pair would need a mullion between the leaves. The tradeoff is exposed rods on the door face and a bottom latch at the floor that takes abuse.
    2) Do I have to order a hand for the Von Duprin 9927?
    The device itself is non-handed, so the mechanism works either way. Handing still gets picked on the order because trim and certain options follow the door swing, and it's RHR or LHR. Handing does become real on the device when the SD, SS or WS options are specified, so if you're adding special center case dogging or a signal switch, get the hand right.
    3) My exit device is only used for egress, no outside entry. What do I order on the Von Duprin 9927?
    Order it EO, exit only. That's a device with no outside trim at all, so the door can only be opened from the inside. If you want key entry from the outside without leaving the door unlocked, NL (night latch) is the one, or L-NL for a lever with night latch. Other trim functions include K (knob), L (lever), TP (thumbpiece), TL (thumbturn), DT (dummy trim), the blank escutcheon versions (K-BE, L-BE, TL-BE, TP-BE), L-KC key capture, and NL-OP night latch with optional pull. If you go with an L trim, you also pick the lever design: 01, 02, 03, 05, 06, 07, 17 or 18.
    4) How do I keep an exit door unlocked during business hours with the Von Duprin 9927?
    Hex key dogging is standard: you hold the push pad in and set it with a hex key, and the latches stay retracted so the door pushes free. If you don't want maintenance carrying a hex key, order CD for cylinder dogging so it's done with a key in a cylinder. CDSI and HDSI add a security indicator so you can see at a glance whether the device is dogged, which is what schools generally want. DI and CI are the dogging indicator versions, LD is less dogging, and SD is special center case dogging.
    5) The bottom rods on our exit devices keep getting torn up by carts. What can I do?
    Two routes on the 9927. Vertical rod and latch guards are available to shield the bottom rod from carts and gurneys, which is the usual healthcare answer. The other route is a less bottom rod device, which removes the bottom latch entirely so there is nothing at the floor to hit; on the 9927 an LBR build is paired with the ES top pullman latch for electric strike application. If you're specifying new and the abuse is known, the Orca OED56 Series is a standard duty surface vertical rod that comes less bottom rod, non-handed.
    6) Can I tie a Von Duprin 9927 into an access control system?
    Yes, and there are two separate decisions. For remote unlocking, order electric latch retraction: EL, QEL (the quiet version, which is what you want on a hospital corridor or a library), or PN pneumatic. For monitoring, order a switch: RX request to exit, LX latchbolt monitor, or LX-RX for both. There are also WP-RX for wet locations, RX-LC low current, RX-2 double RX, SS signal switch, and the ALK alarm exit kits (ALK less switch, RX-ALK, LXRX-ALK). Retrofit kits exist too, so a device already installed can be converted to QEL or given an RX switch later rather than replaced.
    7) Is the Von Duprin 9927 Grade 1, and what standard is it certified to?
    Grade 1 under ANSI/BHMA A156.3 2014, which is the top grade for exit devices and what most institutional specs call out. It's also listed to ANSI/UL 305 for panic hardware and CAN/ULC-S132. It is not a fire rated device, so on labeled openings you need a fire exit device instead.
    8) My opening is a fire rated door - can I use the Von Duprin 9927 or do I need a different exit device?
    The 9927-4ft as configured is not a fire rated device, so a labeled fire door assembly needs a device carrying a fire label. Fire rated surface vertical rod peers include the Adams Rite 3100 Series, a Grade 1 fire rated wide stile surface vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Arrow S1150, a fire rated surface vertical rod device in exit only, less trim form for narrow or wide stile, the Sargent 2727, a Grade 1 fire rated reversible wide stile surface vertical rod device, and the TownSteel EF9727, a fire rated Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile device that is wood door compatible. Match the device label to the door and frame label on the opening.
    9) The 9927 will not fit my narrow stile aluminum door - what surface vertical rod device should I use instead?
    The Von Duprin 9927 is built as a wide stile device, so a narrow stile aluminum storefront leaf needs a different chassis. Narrow stile surface vertical rod options include the Corbin Russwin ED4400, a Grade 1 narrow stile surface vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Falcon 19-V-EO, a Grade 1 narrow stile vertical rod device in exit only function, the Adams Rite 8200 Series, a Grade 1 narrow stile life-safety surface vertical rod device, and the TownSteel ED3727, a Grade 1 narrow stile surface vertical rod device. The Arrow S1150 is listed for narrow or wide stile, so it covers both cases if you are ordering for mixed openings.
    10) What is the closest equivalent to the Von Duprin 9927 from another manufacturer for a 48-inch wide stile door?
    The Von Duprin 9927-4ft is a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod exit device sized for a 48-inch door opening. The closest peers in wide stile Grade 1 surface vertical rod form are the Sargent 3727, a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device with a standard push bar, and the Corbin Russwin ED5400, a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device for doors 1-3/4 inch thick that accepts trim. The TownSteel ED8927 is also an ANSI Grade 1 certified wide stile surface vertical rod device. All three carry the same Grade 1 rating and the same wide stile push configuration as the 9927; confirm push pad length against your door width when cross-referencing, since the 9927 covered here is the 48-inch size.
    11) How far does a Von Duprin 9927 exit device stick out from the door face?
    Projection is 3-13/16 inches off the door, with a center case measuring 8 x 2-3/4 x 2-3/8 inches. That number is the one to check against a corridor width, a door in a vestibule, or a pair that swings toward each other, because the push pad is what hits first. Worth confirming against the door's clear width requirement before you commit.
    12) What's the difference between the Von Duprin 9927 and the 9827?
    Mechanically they're the same surface vertical rod exit device; the difference is the case. The 9927 has the grooved mechanism case of the 99 Series, the 9827 has the smooth case of the 98 Series. If a building has already standardized on one look across its openings, match it. If not, either one performs identically.
    13) What is a cheaper alternative to the Von Duprin 9927 for a lower traffic door?
    The 9927 is a Grade 1 device built for high abuse institutional openings, which is more device than a low traffic back door needs. Lighter wide stile surface vertical rod options ZenSupply carries include the Design Hardware 2000V, a standard duty device, and the TownSteel TS5100, a Grade 2 wide stile device. If you want to stay Grade 1 but simpler, the Falcon 20 Series and the Falcon 25-V-EO are wide stile Grade 1 surface vertical rod devices for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Corbin Russwin ED5400 is the wide stile Grade 1 equivalent that accepts trim.
    14) Does the Von Duprin 9927 meet accessibility requirements for a push bar?
    There are two options that speak to accessibility. AX is the accessible device option, ordered yes or no. Separately, the bar itself can be specified as BR, a braille push bar, alongside the standard bar, KN knurled (the tactile warning bar used on doors to hazardous areas), RSS emergency exit push bar, and SG safety glow. Knurled and braille are usually driven by a code official's comment, so match what's on the drawing.
    15) Our exit devices are too loud for a hospital corridor. Is there a quiet version of the Von Duprin 9927?
    Two options handle noise. QM, quiet mechanical, is a yes or no option on the device itself and addresses the mechanical clatter of the push pad and latches. If the door is also on access control, order QEL instead of EL for quiet electric latch retraction. On a patient floor or a library it's usually worth specifying both.
    16) Is there a lighter duty vertical rod exit device than the Von Duprin 9927 for a low traffic door?
    The 9927-4ft is a Grade 1 commercial device. Where the opening 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 surface vertical rod device. Design Hardware splits the line by duty rather than grade: the 1000V is a heavy duty surface vertical rod device and the 2000V is the standard duty version. Grade 2 devices are tested to a lower ANSI cycle and strength threshold than Grade 1, so confirm your specification or authority having jurisdiction permits it before substituting.
    17) I only need push to exit with no outside trim - is there a simpler alternative to the Von Duprin 9927?
    The 9927 can be ordered in EO exit only trim function, but it is also built to take knob, lever, thumbturn, thumbpiece and night latch trim across its trim function range. If the opening will never take outside trim, several peers are supplied as dedicated exit only devices: the Falcon 25-V-EO, a Grade 1 wide stile surface vertical rod device in exit only for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Arrow 3700 Series Grade 1 wide stile pushpad device in exit only, the Sargent 3727 in exit only, and the Orca OED56 Series, a standard duty exit only vertical rod device supplied less bottom rod and non-handed.
    18) Can I use a Sargent 12-8710 in place of a Von Duprin 9927?
    No. The Sargent 12-8710 is a fire rated wide stile surface vertical rod device in dummy function, meaning it is a non-operating pull-side device with no latching action. The Von Duprin 9927-4ft is an operating Grade 1 panic device with a 3/4 inch latch throw and hex key dogging. If you need the inactive leaf of a pair to look the same as the active one, a dummy device is the correct part; if the leaf has to latch and release under panic load, it is not a substitute for the 9927.
    19) What finishes does the Von Duprin 9927 come in for matching existing hardware?
    Twelve finishes, so matching an existing corridor is usually possible: 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 work 630 satin stainless and 628 aluminum are the workhorses; if the rest of the building is dark, 710 and 711 are the ones to look at.
    20) What is the difference between the Von Duprin 9927 and a crossbar style vertical rod exit device?
    The 9927-4ft uses a push pad actuator on a wide stile chassis with a grooved center case measuring 8 inches by 2-3/4 by 2-3/8 and a projection of 3-13/16 inches. The Corbin Russwin ED7400 is a Grade 1 narrow stile crossbar surface vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors that accepts operator trim, where the actuator is a horizontal bar spanning the door rather than a pad. Both retract vertical rods on a push, but the crossbar changes the face appearance and the wide stile push pad changes the mounting footprint, so they are not visually interchangeable across a run of doors in the same corridor.
    21) I need a non-handed or reversible vertical rod exit device - how does the Von Duprin 9927 compare?
    The 9927-4ft is non-handed, which lets one part number cover left and right openings. Among the peers, the BEST Precision 5201 Series is a reversible surface vertical rod device, the Sargent 2727 is a Grade 1 fire rated reversible wide stile device, and the Orca OED56 is non-handed. The BEST Precision 2201 Series is the wide stile surface vertical rod device in that line. Reversible and non-handed both reduce the number of SKUs a property manager has to stock across a mixed set of doors.
    22) What Grade 1 vertical rod exit devices can I standardize on across a facility besides the Von Duprin 9927?
    The 9927-4ft is certified Grade 1 and non-handed, which supports standardizing across mixed openings. Other Grade 1 surface vertical rod devices in the same class include the Dexter ED1000 Series and ED1500 Series, the Falcon 20 Series wide stile device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Falcon 24-V-EO in narrow stile, the Corbin Russwin ED5400 in wide stile, and the Adams Rite 8100 Series wide stile life-safety device. For a facility standard, pair the grade with a single stile type and a single finish so replacement parts stay common across the building.

      If you are managing a high-traffic facility or a glazing project with 4-foot wide doors, do not cheap out on Grade 2 alternatives. This device is built to survive millions of cycles, and the 99-series grooved case hides the scratches better than the 98-series smooth case.
