Von Duprin 9949EO 4 US26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I need a mullion between a pair of doors with the Von Duprin 9949?
No mullion needed. A concealed vertical cable device latches at the head and at the threshold rather than into the opposite leaf, so a pair of doors gets a clear opening with no center post. That is the main reason to pick a concealed vertical device over a rim device, which does need a removable mullion on a pair. Both leaves get their own 9949, and the top and bottom latches each throw 3/4 inch.
2) What do I have to specify when ordering a Von Duprin 9949 exit device?
Six things get chosen on the order. Finish (twelve, from 605 Bright Brass through 630 Satin Stainless and 711 Flat Black). Trim function, from exit only and night latch through knob, lever, and thumbpiece variants including L-NL and L-KC key capture. Handing, RHR or LHR. Dogging, hex key as standard or CD cylinder, CDSI, HDSI, SD, LD less dogging, DI or CI. Bar style, standard or BR braille, KN knurled, RSS emergency exit, SG safety glow. Plus yes/no on AX accessible device and QM quiet mechanical. If you pick an L lever trim you also pick the lever design, 01 through 18, with 06 as default.
3) Can I get the Von Duprin 9949 with electric latch retraction for an access control system?
Yes, three latch retraction choices: EL electric latch retraction, QEL quiet electric latch retraction, or PN pneumatic. Pair any of them with a switch option so the panel knows the door state, RX request to exit, LX latch bolt monitor, or LX-RX for both. RX-LC is the low current version, WP-RX the waterproof one for exterior openings, and RX-2 gives you a double request to exit.
4) Will the Von Duprin 9949 latch reliably into an existing top and bottom strike?
Both latches throw 3/4 inch, so the strike prep has to give you that depth at the head and at the threshold. Concealed vertical devices are not a straight swap into a surface vertical rod prep, since the rods run inside the door and the door has to be prepped for them. On an existing 98/99 Series opening with concealed prep already in the leaf, the 9949 drops into the same arrangement.
5) What is the closest wide stile concealed vertical rod exit device to the Von Duprin 9949 if I need a fire rated opening?
The Von Duprin 9949-4ft is not fire rated, so for a fire rated wide stile concealed vertical rod opening the Adams Rite 3600 Series is a fire rated Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod exit device for hollow metal doors, and the Adams Rite 3900 Series is a fire rated Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod device carrying a 1-1/2 hour rating. The Sargent 12-MD8613 is another fire rated Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod device and comes in classroom function if the opening needs keyed outside control. All three keep the Grade 1 certification the 9949 carries.
6) What is a straight cross-brand equivalent to a 48 inch wide stile concealed vertical rod push pad device?
The Von Duprin 9949-4ft is a 48 inch wide stile concealed vertical rod push pad device, Grade 1, for 1-3/4 inch doors. The DORMA 9100 Series matches it most directly as a Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile concealed vertical rod push pad device, non fire rated, for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch. The Corbin Russwin ED5800 is a Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod device for 1-3/4 inch doors that runs exit only or accepts trim, and the Adams Rite 8500 Series is a Grade 1 non fire rated wide stile concealed vertical rod device for hollow metal doors. The CRL Jackson 1085 Series is a 48 inch non-handed wide stile concealed vertical rod panic device in exit only function.
7) Will a Falcon 1491DT work as a substitute for a 9949 on the inactive leaf of a pair?
No. The Falcon 1491DT is a dummy trim narrow stile concealed vertical rod device with a 9970 pull, 42 inch, and its function is dummy - it looks like an exit device but does not latch or release as one. The Von Duprin 9949-4ft is a live Grade 1 panic device with a 3/4 inch latch throw and top and bottom latching. If you want the dummy appearance from Von Duprin, the 9949 itself is ordered in DT dummy trim and the K-DT and L-DT knob and lever dummy trim functions.
8) How far does a Von Duprin 9949 push pad stick out from the door?
Projection is 3-13/16 inches off the face of the door. That is the number you need when the door swings toward a wall, a corridor clear width, or another leaf, and it is the dimension that decides whether an out-swinging door in a tight vestibule will hit something. The center case runs 8 x 2-3/4 x 2-3/8 inches.
9) What is the difference between the Von Duprin 9949 and the 9849?
Case profile, not performance. The 9949 has a grooved mechanism case and the 9849 is the smooth case version; both are heavy duty concealed vertical cable devices with the same duty. Pick on how it reads architecturally against the rest of the openings in the building. If the other doors already carry grooved cases, the 9949 matches them.
10) Does the Von Duprin 9949 do delayed egress for a facility that needs controlled exits?
With the CX CHEXIT option, yes. The device holds the door secure for 15 seconds after a request to exit while a nuisance alarm sounds, which is the NFPA and IBC delayed egress sequence. Useful in healthcare and retail where you need to slow an exit without locking it. Order it as the CX configuration rather than adding it later.
11) I want the door to stay push-pull during business hours. What dogging do I order on the Von Duprin 9949?
Hex key dogging is standard and holds the pad depressed so the door pushes open freely. If you would rather staff use a key than carry an allen wrench, order CD cylinder dogging. CDSI and HDSI add a security indicator so you can see at a glance whether the device is dogged, and DI or CI give you a dogging indicator on the hex or cylinder version. LD is less dogging, which is what you order when the opening must never be held in a dogged state.
12) What is the AX option on a Von Duprin 9949 and do I need it?
AX is the accessible device upgrade, which reduces the force needed to operate the push pad. Specify it on openings where you have to meet accessibility operating force, which in practice means most public and institutional egress doors in schools, hospitals, and government buildings. It is a yes/no choice at order time, so decide before the device is built.
13) What is the closest equivalent to a Von Duprin 9949 from another brand?
For a Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod device, the Corbin Russwin ED5800 is the nearest match, Grade 1, wide stile, 1-3/4 inch doors, exit only or accepting trim. The DORMA 9100 Series is another wide stile pushpad Grade 1 concealed vertical rod, heavy duty and non-fire-rated like the 9949, and it covers 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors. BEST Precision 2801 and the Adams Rite 8500 Series are further wide stile concealed vertical rod options. None of these share Von Duprin trim or prep, so a straight cylinder-and-trim swap is not the assumption; treat them as full device replacements.
14) Can I order a Von Duprin 9949 as exit only with no outside trim?
Yes, EO exit only is one of the trim functions, and it gives you a door with no outside operation at all. If you need outside entry, NL night latch with a key pulls the latches, NL-OP adds an optional pull, and K or L give you knob or lever trim. DT, K-DT, and L-DT are dummy trim for the inactive leaf of a pair, and K-BE or L-BE are blank escutcheon versions when the cylinder lives elsewhere.
15) I need to add door position or alarm monitoring to an exit door. What does the Von Duprin 9949 offer?
Switch options cover both. RX request to exit signals the panel when the pad is pushed; LX monitors the latch bolt itself so you know the door actually latched; LX-RX gives you both. For a standalone alarm on the door, ALK is the alarm exit kit with no switch, RX-ALK bundles it with the RX switch, and LXRX-ALK with both LX and RX. SS is a signal switch, and note that SS makes the device handed, so the hand has to be correct on that order.
16) Will a Von Duprin 9949 match the other exit devices already in my building?
Twelve finishes to match existing hardware: 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 and 630 are the usual institutional standards. The grooved case profile is the visual tell against a smooth-case 9849, so if you are matching existing devices, look at the case as well as the finish.
17) My doors are 2-1/4 inch thick - does the 9949 still apply or do I need a different device?
The Von Duprin 9949-4ft lists a door thickness of 1-3/4 inch and includes fasteners for wood or metal doors 1-3/4 inch and 2-1/4 inch thick. If you want a device whose stated thickness range covers 2-1/4 inch outright, the DORMA 9100 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile concealed vertical rod push pad device rated 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, and the DORMA 9600BB is the same 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch range in a 36 inch narrow stile pushpad.
18) I only need push to exit with no outside trim - is there a simpler concealed vertical rod device than a full 9949?
The 9949-4ft is ordered with a trim function ranging from exit only through knob, lever, thumbpiece and night latch versions, so it covers trimmed openings as well as push to exit. If the opening truly needs nothing on the outside, several peers are built as exit only devices: the CRL Jackson 1085 Series in 48 inch non-handed, the CRL Jackson 1285 push pad concealed vertical rod panic exit, the BEST Precision 2601 Series narrow stile non-handed, and the Falcon 24-C Series, a Grade 1 36 inch narrow stile exit only device for 1-3/4 inch doors. The Corbin Russwin ED5800 covers both, running exit only or accepting trim on a wide stile door.
19) The 9949 is going on a wood door - what else should I be looking at?
The Von Duprin 9949-4ft ships with fasteners for wood or metal doors 1-3/4 inch and 2-1/4 inch thick, so a wood door is within its fastener kit. If you want a device specified around wood, the BEST Precision 2701 Series is a wide stile concealed vertical rod exit device described as reversible for wood doors. The Adams Rite 8500 Series and Adams Rite 3600 Series, by contrast, are both specified for hollow metal doors.
20) I want a crossbar exit device instead of a push pad - what is the concealed vertical rod option?
The Von Duprin 9949-4ft is a push pad device. For a crossbar actuator on a concealed vertical rod opening, the Corbin Russwin ED7800 is a Grade 1 narrow stile crossbar concealed vertical rod exit device for 1-3/4 inch doors that accepts operator trim. Note the stile change: the ED7800 is narrow stile where the 9949 is wide stile, so confirm the door before switching.
21) I need hex dogging and a lever trim on a metal door - how does a Sargent MD8613F compare?
The Sargent MD8613F-LTRIM is a Grade 1 heavy duty concealed vertical rod exit device for metal doors 36 inch by 84 inch with hex dogging and lever trim. The Von Duprin 9949-4ft also comes standard with hex key dogging and is ordered with L lever trim in eight lever designs, but it is the 48 inch push pad size for wide stile doors rather than a 36 inch device. For a 36 inch opening, size the device to the door leaf first, then match the dogging and trim.
22) For a storefront where the stile width is uncertain, is there a concealed vertical rod device that fits either way?
The Von Duprin 9949-4ft is a wide stile device, so the stile has to be confirmed as wide before it is the right call. The CRL Jackson 1285 push pad concealed vertical rod panic exit is specified for narrow, medium or wide stile, which makes it the flexible pick when the stile is still being verified - it runs exit only function. The BEST Precision 2801 Series is another wide stile concealed vertical rod device if the stile confirms wide.
23) Which push bar option should I pick for a school or hospital exit door?
Five bar styles on the 9949: standard, BR braille, KN knurled, RSS emergency exit push bar, and SG safety glow. Knurled bars are the traditional tactile warning for a door that should not be entered casually. SG safety glow gives you a bar you can find in a smoke or power-out condition, which is worth specifying on a stairwell or corridor exit. BR braille suits an institution standardizing on tactile identification across openings.
24) What is the QM quiet mechanical option worth on a Von Duprin 9949?
QM quiet mechanical cuts the operating noise of the device. It matters on openings next to occupied space, patient rooms, classrooms in session, testing areas, or a library, where a standard panic device latching is disruptive every time someone walks through. If the door is exterior or in a loading area, skip it. It is a yes/no choice made when the device is built, not something added in the field.
25) Is there a Von Duprin 9949 option to keep the latchbolt from being defeated?
XP is the patented two-piece latchbolt option, an upgrade over the standard latch for openings where forced entry is a concern. It is one of the field-configurable options alongside the CDSI and HDSI dogging security indicators, which let you see whether a device has been left dogged. On a school or government perimeter door, those two together cover both the mechanical attack and the human error.
