Von Duprin 9949EO-F 3 US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Von Duprin 9949F fit a 36 inch wide door, and what door thickness does it require?
The 9949F-3ft is sized for a 36 inch door opening and is built for 1-3/4 inch thick doors. Mounting fasteners come in the box for wood or metal doors at 1-3/4 inch and 2-1/4 inch thickness. If your leaf is wider than 36 inches you need the longer device size, not this one.
2) Do I have to specify handing on a Von Duprin 9949F concealed vertical rod device?
The device itself is non-handed, so the chassis works either way. Handing still has to be selected on the order (RHR or LHR) because trim and certain options follow the door swing, and the SD special center case dogging and SS signal switch options are handed.
3) Can the Von Duprin 9949F be electrified for access control?
Yes. Latch retraction is available as EL electric latch retraction, QEL quiet electric latch retraction, or PN pneumatic. Separately you can add switches: RX request to exit, LX latchbolt monitor, LX-RX combination, RX-2, RX-LC low current, WP-RX waterproof, SS signal switch, or the ALK alarm kits with or without RX and LX. Specify the switch and the latch retraction as separate line options.
4) Is the Von Duprin 9949F Grade 1, and does it meet panic hardware requirements?
It is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3 2014 Grade 1, the top durability grade for exit devices, and carries ANSI/UL 305 panic hardware listing plus CAN/ULC-S132, along with the UL 10C fire listing. That covers the usual specification language for institutional egress hardware.
5) My door is an aluminum storefront with a narrow stile - will the Von Duprin 9949F fit?
No. The 9949F-3ft is a wide stile device, and its center case measures 8 inches by 2-3/4 inches by 2-3/8 inches, too wide for a narrow storefront stile. For narrow stile aluminum openings, the Adams Rite 8600 Series is a Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod device made for aluminum doors. Other narrow stile concealed vertical rod options are the Corbin Russwin ED4800, the DORMA 9600BB in a 36 inch size, and the Falcon 24-C at 36 inches.
6) The opening is not a fire door - is there a non-fire-rated concealed vertical rod device I can use instead of the 9949F?
The 9949F-3ft carries a fire rating, which also means it ships less mechanical dogging hold-open on fire openings. If the opening is not fire rated, the Adams Rite 8500 Series is a Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod device for hollow metal doors with no fire rating, and the DORMA 9100 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile pushpad concealed vertical rod device, also non-fire-rated, covering 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness.
7) Will the 9949F latch into my existing top and bottom strikes?
The latches throw 3/4 inch, top and bottom, which is the standard commercial concealed vertical rod engagement. If the opening currently has a concealed vertical rod device with 3/4 inch throw latches and the same header and threshold strike prep, the strikes usually carry over. Different prep means new strikes.
8) How far does the Von Duprin 9949F stick out from the door face?
Projection is 3-13/16 inches, with a center case measuring 8 x 2-3/4 x 2-3/8 inches. That matters in corridors with tight clearance, for door swing into an adjacent wall, and when checking that the push pad clears any wall-mounted operator or mag lock bracket.
9) What is the difference between the Von Duprin 9949 and the 9849?
Mechanically they are the same concealed vertical cable device in the 98/99 Series. The 9949 has the grooved mechanism case; the 9849 has the smooth case. Choose on appearance and on matching the other openings in the building.
10) Is a concealed vertical rod device the right choice for a pair of doors without a mullion?
It is. A concealed vertical rod device latches at the head and the threshold instead of into a strike on the jamb, so a pair of doors can be secured with no center mullion and the full clear opening stays usable. If you have a single door with a normal jamb strike, a rim device is simpler and cheaper to install, and if you want a pair with a rim device you will need a removable mullion.
11) What outside trim options can I order with the Von Duprin 9949F?
Trim function is selected at order: exit only, night latch, night latch with optional pull, key capture lever, knob, lever, thumbpiece, blank escutcheon versions of knob, lever and thumbpiece, and dummy trim. If you pick an L lever function you also choose the lever design, with 06 standard and 01, 02, 03, 05, 07, 17 and 18 also available.
12) What dogging options are there on the Von Duprin 9949F?
Hex key dogging is standard. You can instead order CD cylinder dogging, CDSI cylinder dogging with security indicator, HDSI hex dogging with security indicator, DI or CI dogging indicators, SD special center case dogging, or LD less dogging. On a fire rated opening the mechanical dogging cannot be used to hold the device unlatched, so LD is common on fire doors.
13) My doors are 2-1/4 inches thick. Can I still use the Von Duprin 9949F?
The 9949F is specified for 1-3/4 inch doors, even though fasteners for 2-1/4 inch doors ship with it. For a thicker leaf, the DORMA 9100 Series wide stile pushpad concealed vertical rod device covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, though it is not fire rated.
14) Is a Corbin Russwin ED5800 a direct swap for a Von Duprin 9949F?
They are close in class but not identical. The Corbin Russwin ED5800 is a Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors, supplied exit only or to accept trim, which matches the 9949F on Grade 1, wide stile and 1-3/4 inch door thickness. The difference that decides it is the fire door: the 9949F is fire rated and carries the F designation. Rod and strike preps differ between manufacturers, so a swap means new door and frame prep rather than reusing the existing cutouts.
15) I need a concealed vertical rod device for a wood door - is the 9949F the right choice or is there a better fit?
The 9949F-3ft ships with fasteners for wood or metal doors 1-3/4 inch and 2-1/4 inch thick, so wood is within its scope. If you want a device catalogued specifically for wood doors, the BEST Precision 2701 Series is a wide stile reversible concealed vertical rod device for wood doors. The BEST Precision 2801 is the other wide stile concealed vertical rod option in that line.
16) What finishes does the Von Duprin 9949F 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, 643E aged bronze, 710 dark bronze anodized and 711 flat black. For a school or healthcare corridor being standardized, 626 and 630 are the usual institutional picks.
17) Is the BEST Precision 2601 a substitute for the Von Duprin 9949F?
It is not a like-for-like swap. The BEST Precision 2601 Series is a non-handed narrow stile concealed vertical rod device supplied exit only, so it suits a narrow stile opening with no outside trim. The Von Duprin 9949F-3ft is wide stile and can be ordered with outside trim including lever, knob, night latch and thumbpiece functions.
18) What should I use if I want a crossbar instead of a push pad on a concealed vertical rod device?
The Von Duprin 9949F-3ft is a push pad device, with bar choices such as standard, braille, knurled and safety glow pushbars. If the specification calls for a crossbar, the Corbin Russwin ED7800 is a Grade 1 narrow stile crossbar concealed vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors that accepts operator trim.
