The device accommodates doors 1-3/4" thick and is non-handed in standard configuration, offering installation flexibility across a wide range of commercial openings. With a center case measuring 8" x 2-3/4" x 2-3/8" and a 3/4" latch throw, the 9947WDC-3ft delivers the precision engineering and institutional-grade durability that the 98/99 Series is known for.

Von Duprin 9947WDC EO 3 US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What door thickness does the Von Duprin 9947WDC concealed vertical rod device work on?
It is specified for 1-3/4 inch doors, the standard commercial thickness. Fasteners ship in the box for wood or metal doors 1-3/4 inch and 2-1/4 inch thick. If your leaf is genuinely 2-1/4 inch, confirm the device application with your spec, since the device itself is listed at 1-3/4 inch. A wide stile Grade 1 CVR rated across 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inches is the DORMA 9100 Series.
2) Do I have to specify handing on the 9947WDC?
In standard build, no. The device is non-handed. Handing only comes into play when you order SD (special center case dogging) or SS (signal switch), and the order form carries RHR and LHR choices for those builds.
3) Is a 3 ft Von Duprin 9947WDC right for a 36 inch wood door?
Yes. The 9947WDC-3ft is sized at 36 inches, which covers a standard 3-0 commercial leaf. The push pad device projects 3-13/16 inches off the door face, and the center case measures 8 x 2-3/4 x 2-3/8 inches, worth checking against any adjacent wall or closer arm before install.
4) Can I use the 9947WDC on a pair of doors without a mullion?
Yes. As a concealed vertical rod device it latches into the head and the floor or threshold rather than into a strike at the meeting stile, so a pair of wood doors can be secured with no center mullion. Latch throw top and bottom is 3/4 inch, so your head and floor strike prep has to give that much engagement.
5) Can the 9947WDC be tied into an access control system?
Yes, several ways. Electric latch retraction is available as EL, QEL quiet electric latch retraction, or PN pneumatic. For monitoring and signaling you can add RX request to exit, LX latchbolt monitor, LX-RX combination, WP-RX waterproof RX, RX-LC low current, RX-2 double RX, SS signal switch, or an alarm exit kit (ALK, RX-ALK, LXRX-ALK). CX CHEXIT delayed egress holds the door 15 seconds after a request to exit with a nuisance alarm, per NFPA and IBC delayed egress requirements.
6) I need a fire-rated concealed vertical rod exit device - can I use the 9947WDC-3ft?
The 9947WDC-3ft is a non-fire-rated device. For a fire-rated opening, the Adams Rite 3600 Series and 3900 Series are both fire-rated Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod devices, with the 3900 carrying a 1-1/2 hour rating. The Sargent 12-MD8613 is a fire-rated Grade 1 wide stile CVR in classroom function if you need keyed outside trim on a rated door.
7) My opening is an aluminum storefront door, not a wood door - what should I use instead of the 9947WDC-3ft?
The 9947WDC-3ft is a wide stile device, so it will not fit a narrow aluminum stile. The Adams Rite 8600 Series is a narrow stile concealed vertical rod device made for aluminum doors. Other narrow stile CVR options are the DORMA 9600BB in 36 inch, the Corbin Russwin ED4800 Grade 1 for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Falcon 24-C at 36 inch exit only. The CRL Jackson 1285 push pad CVR is listed for narrow, medium or wide stile.
8) What outside trim options can I order with the Von Duprin 9947WDC?
Seventeen trim functions are offered: exit only, dummy trim, night latch, night latch with optional pull, knob and lever versions (plain, blank escutcheon, dummy trim, night latch), lever key capture, thumbturn and thumbturn with blank escutcheon, and thumbpiece with or without blank escutcheon. If you pick an L lever function you also choose the lever design, 06 being the default, with 01, 02, 03, 05, 07, 17 and 18 available.
9) What dogging does the Von Duprin 9947WDC come with, and can I get cylinder dogging instead?
Hex key dogging is standard. You can substitute 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. Note that SD makes the device handed.
10) Is the Von Duprin 9947WDC Grade 1, and what is it listed to?
Certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3 2014 Grade 1, the top grade for exit devices, and listed to ANSI/UL 305 and CAN/ULC-S132 for panic hardware. UL 10C and CAN/ULC-S104 apply to fire-rated configurations of the series; this particular device is not fire rated.
11) Is there an ADA compliant version of the 9947WDC?
Yes, the AX accessible device option, certified to the 5 lb. operating force requirement of 2010 ADA chapters 404.2.7 and 30934 and the 2013 California Building Code chapter 11B-309.4. It is ordered as a yes/no selection on the device. For touch accessibility you can also specify a BR braille push bar, and KN knurled, RSS emergency exit, or SG safety glow bars are offered.
12) What is the difference between the Von Duprin 98 and 99 case, and which is the 9947WDC?
The 9947WDC uses the 99 Series grooved mechanism case. The 98 Series is the smooth case version of the same device family. Function and grade are the same; the choice is architectural appearance, so match whatever is already on the other openings in the building.
13) Can I run the 9947WDC less bottom rod?
Yes. When you order less bottom rod, use the ES top pullman latch intended for electric strike applications; the standard PL top and PL bottom pullman latch pairing does not apply to a less bottom rod build. Less bottom rod is common where floor debris or an uneven threshold makes a bottom latch unreliable.
14) Should I use a concealed vertical rod device or a surface vertical rod on a wood door?
Concealed rod, which is what the 9947WDC is, hides the rods inside the door for a clean face and no exposed hardware to catch or vandalize, but the wood door has to be prepped to accept it, so it suits new doors or factory-prepped replacements. A surface vertical rod mounts to the door face and is the practical retrofit when the existing door has no concealed rod prep. Both latch top and bottom, so either secures a pair without a mullion.
15) I only need push-to-exit with no outside trim - is there a simpler device than the 9947WDC-3ft?
Yes. The 9947WDC-3ft is ordered across seventeen trim functions from exit only through lever night latch and thumbpiece, so it can be configured exit only, but several peers are built exit only from the start: the CRL Jackson 1085 Series is a 48 inch non-handed exit-only CVR, the BEST Precision 2601 is an exit only narrow stile non-handed CVR, and the Falcon 1690EO is a 3 ft narrow stile exit only device. Note the 2601 and 1690EO are narrow stile, so they suit a different door than a wide stile wood opening.
16) What is the difference between the Von Duprin 9947WDC-3ft and a Sargent MD8613F with lever trim?
The Sargent MD8613F-LTRIM is an 80 Series heavy duty Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device sized for 36 by 84 inch metal doors with hex dogging. The 9947WDC-3ft is a 98/99 Series wide stile CVR sized at 36 inches for wood doors, also with hex key dogging standard, Grade 1, and non-handed unless SD or SS options are selected. The Von Duprin can be ordered with lever trim across eight lever designs and twelve finishes.
17) My concealed vertical rod opening is a hollow metal door instead of wood - what are the options?
The Adams Rite 8500 Series is a non-fire-rated Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod device for hollow metal doors, and the Adams Rite 3600 Series covers the same door type in a fire-rated Grade 1 wide stile build. The 9947WDC-3ft is engineered for wide stile wood doors, though its fasteners are supplied for wood or metal doors 1-3/4 inch and 2-1/4 inch thick.
18) Is the BEST Precision 2801 a drop-in alternative to the Von Duprin 9947WDC-3ft?
The BEST Precision 2801 is a wide stile concealed vertical rod exit device, so it addresses the same wide stile application as the 9947WDC-3ft. It is not a drop-in swap - the Von Duprin uses a 98/99 grooved center case measuring 8 by 2-3/4 by 2-3/8 inches with a 3-13/16 inch projection, so door prep and rod locations differ by manufacturer. Plan on new prep or verify the existing cutout before substituting.
19) Which concealed vertical rod devices accept a 44 inch or wider door instead of 36 inch?
The 9947WDC-3ft is sized at 36 inches. For wider leaves, the Falcon 1990EO is a 44 inch narrow stile exit only CVR and the CRL Jackson 1085 Series is a 48 inch non-handed exit-only CVR listed as wide stile. Both are exit only, so outside trim would have to be handled separately.
20) What finishes does the Von Duprin 9947WDC come in for matching existing hardware?
Twelve finishes: 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. Most institutional buildings standardize on 626 satin chrome or 630 satin stainless.
21) I need a crossbar exit device instead of a push pad - what replaces the 9947WDC-3ft?
The 9947WDC-3ft is a push pad style device. The Corbin Russwin ED7800 is a Grade 1 narrow stile crossbar concealed vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the same door thickness the 9947WDC-3ft is designed for, but in narrow stile - confirm your stile width before specifying it against a wide stile wood door.
