Von Duprin 9950WDCEO-F 3 315 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Von Duprin 9950WDCF work on a wood door, or is it only for hollow metal?
The 9950WDCF is built specifically for wood doors. The WDC designation is Von Duprin's wood door concealed vertical cable configuration, which runs cables rather than rods inside the door leaf. It works on single or double wood doors, and the fasteners supplied cover wood or metal doors 1-3/4 inch and 2-1/4 inch thick. The device itself is specified for 1-3/4 inch doors.
2) Is the Von Duprin 9950WDCF fire rated, and what is it listed to?
Fire rated, yes. The 9950WDCF is listed to ANSI/UL 10C and CAN/ULC-S104 for fire door assemblies, and also to ANSI/UL 305 and CAN/ULC-S132 as panic exit hardware. It is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3 2014 Grade 1. One consequence of the F rating: fire rated devices do not dog, so plan on the door latching every cycle in that application.
3) Will a 36 inch Von Duprin 9950WDC fit my door, and how much does it stick out into the opening?
The device is a 36 inch (3 ft) wide stile unit, so it suits a 36 inch wide door leaf. Projection from the door face is 3-13/16 inches, which is what you need for corridor clearance and for anything swinging past the door. The center case measures 8 x 2-3/4 x 2-3/8 inches. Because it is a wide stile push pad device, it needs a door stile wide enough to take that case, which is why narrow stile aluminum doors take a different device entirely.
4) Do I have to specify handing when ordering the Von Duprin 9950WDC exit device?
In standard configuration it is non-handed, so one device covers either hand of door. Two exceptions make it handed: SD (special center case dogging) and SS (signal switch). Handing is still selected on the order as RHR or LHR, so have the swing confirmed before you place it, particularly if you are taking either of those two options.
5) Can I hold the door open with this Von Duprin device during business hours?
Hex key dogging is standard on the 9950WDC, so the latches can be held retracted with a hex wrench for push-pull operation. If you would rather control that with a key, order CD (cylinder dogging). CDSI and HDSI add a security indicator that shows dogged or secure at a glance, DI and CI are dogging indicator variants, SD is special center case dogging, and LD deletes dogging altogether. Note that on the fire rated F device, mechanical dogging is not used.
6) Will a 3/4 inch latch throw engage properly at the head and sill on a pair of doors?
The 9950WDC latches top and bottom with a 3/4 inch throw at each point. That is what lets a concealed vertical device secure a pair of doors with no center mullion, since each leaf latches into the frame head and the threshold strike rather than into a mullion. Make sure your top and bottom strikes are prepped to accept a 3/4 inch bolt and that the door is hung square, because vertical devices are less forgiving of gap variation than rim devices.
7) What trim options are available for the Von Duprin 9950WDC, and which do I pick for a classroom?
Trim functions run DT dummy trim, EO exit only, K knob, K-BE knob with blank escutcheon, K-NL knob night latch, L lever, L-BE lever with blank escutcheon, L-KC lever key capture, L-NL lever night latch, NL night latch, NL-OP night latch with optional pull, TP thumbpiece, and TP-BE thumbpiece with blank escutcheon. For a classroom or office where staff need to key in from the corridor, the night latch functions (L-NL or NL) are the usual pick. EO is for a pure egress door with no outside operation. If you choose an L function, you also pick the lever design: 01, 02, 03, 05, 06, 07, 17 or 18.
8) Can this Von Duprin exit device be tied into an access control system?
Yes, and the options are ordered with the device. For monitoring, choose RX request to exit, LX latchbolt monitor, LX-RX combined, WP-RX waterproof RX, RX-LC low current, RX-2 double RX, or SS signal switch. For remote unlocking, EL electric latch retraction, QEL quiet electric latch retraction, or PN pneumatic. ALK, RX-ALK and LXRX-ALK add an alarm exit kit. QEL is the common choice where noise matters, such as a library or patient corridor.
9) Does the Von Duprin 9950WDC meet the 5 lb ADA operating force requirement?
Only with the AX option. The optional AX upgrade meets the 5 lb force requirement under the 2010 ADA (Chapters 404.2.7 and 30934) and the 2013 California Building Code (Chapter 11B-309.4). AX is a yes/no selection made at the time of order, so if the project spec calls for reduced operating force, it has to be on the purchase order.
10) What is the equivalent concealed vertical rod exit device from another brand if Von Duprin is not on the approved list?
For a fire rated wide stile concealed vertical device, the closest peers are the Sargent 12-MD8613 (8600 Series, Grade 1, wide stile, fire rated) and the Adams Rite 3600 Series or 3900 Series, both Grade 1 wide stile with a fire rating. The BEST Precision 2701 Series is the one built specifically wide stile reversible for wood doors, which is the nearest match to the wood door application the 9950WDC is made for. Corbin Russwin ED5800 is a Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical for 1-3/4 inch doors.
11) My doors are narrow stile aluminum storefront. Will this Von Duprin device work?
No. The 9950WDC is a wide stile push pad device and the case needs stile width a narrow aluminum door does not have, plus it is configured for wood doors. For narrow stile aluminum, look at the Adams Rite 8600 Series narrow stile concealed vertical rod, the Corbin Russwin ED4800 narrow stile Grade 1, or the Falcon 24-C Series 36 inch narrow stile. Note the Adams Rite 8600 is not fire rated, so if the opening is a fire door that one is out.
12) What is the closest alternative to the Von Duprin 9950WDCF-3ft for a wood door concealed vertical rod opening?
The BEST Precision 2701 Series is a wide stile concealed vertical rod exit device built reversible for wood doors, which puts it in the same application as the 9950WDCF-3ft wide stile wood door concealed vertical cable device. The Von Duprin is certified ANSI/BHMA Grade 1 and fire rated; if the wood door is part of a fire-rated assembly, confirm the rating on the Precision unit before substituting.
13) Should I use a concealed vertical device like this or a rim device with a mullion?
A concealed vertical cable device keeps all the hardware inside the door leaf, so nothing shows on the door face except the push pad and the clear opening stays clear. That is the reason most schools and hospitals specify it. A rim device plus a removable mullion is simpler to install and service and generally cheaper, but the mullion sits in the middle of the opening and has to be pulled to move wide equipment through. If the opening is used for moving beds, carts, or freight, go concealed vertical. If service access and cost drive the job, the mullion route wins.
14) I need 15 second delayed egress on a fire rated wood door. Can this device do it?
The 9950WDCF supports the optional CX (CHEXIT) upgrade, which meets NFPA and IBC requirements for delayed egress. In that configuration the door stays secure for 15 seconds after a request to exit while a nuisance alarm sounds. Confirm the local AHJ accepts delayed egress on that particular opening before specifying it, since it is not permitted in every occupancy.
15) My opening is not a fire door. Do I still need the F version of this exit device?
No. The F suffix on the 9950WDCF means fire rated, which you need only where the opening is part of a rated assembly. On a non-rated exit you can use a non-fire concealed vertical device and keep mechanical dogging, which fire rated devices give up. Non-rated peers we carry include the Adams Rite 8500 Series (Grade 1, wide stile, hollow metal) and the DORMA 9100 Series wide stile push pad, Grade 1, rated for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch doors.
16) Will the Von Duprin 9950WDC fit a 2-1/4 inch thick door?
The device is specified for 1-3/4 inch doors. The fastener pack does cover wood or metal doors 1-3/4 inch and 2-1/4 inch thick, but the device thickness spec is 1-3/4 inch, so a thicker leaf needs to be confirmed against the Von Duprin 98/99 Series catalog before you commit. If you have a batch of 2-1/4 inch doors, the DORMA 9100 Series is listed for 1-3/4 to 2-1/4 inch.
17) How does the Corbin Russwin ED5800 compare to the Von Duprin 9950WDCF-3ft?
Both are Grade 1 wide stile concealed vertical rod devices for 1-3/4 inch doors. The ED5800 is listed exit only and accepts trim; the 9950WDCF-3ft is a fire-rated wood door concealed vertical cable device supplied with hex key dogging as standard and non-handed in standard configuration. Corbin's narrow stile counterpart is the ED4800, which would not suit a wide stile prep.
18) Will a Falcon 1491DT work as a substitute for the 9950WDCF-3ft on the inactive leaf?
No, they do different jobs. The Falcon 1491DT is a dummy trim narrow stile unit with a 9970 pull in a 42 inch size, so it provides no latching. The 9950WDCF-3ft is a functioning Grade 1 fire-rated concealed vertical cable device with a 3/4 inch latch throw; if you want a non-latching appearance match on that leaf, the 9950WDCF is orderable in a DT dummy trim function.
19) I want a crossbar instead of a push pad. Is there a concealed vertical rod alternative to the 9950WDCF-3ft?
Yes. 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. The 9950WDCF-3ft is a push pad device in wide stile, so the ED7800 changes both the actuator style and the stile.
20) The 9950WDCF-3ft is 36 inches. What if my door is wider?
For a wider leaf, the CRL Jackson 1085 Series is a 48 inch non-handed wide stile concealed vertical rod panic device supplied exit only, and the Falcon 1990EO is a 44 inch narrow stile concealed vertical rod exit only device. The 9950WDCF-3ft covers the 36 inch device size.
21) Is the Sargent MD8613F a direct swap for the Von Duprin 9950WDCF-3ft?
Not on a wood door. The Sargent MD8613F-LTRIM is a heavy duty Grade 1 80 Series concealed vertical rod device specified for metal doors at 36 inches by 84 inches with hex dogging. The 9950WDCF-3ft is a concealed vertical cable device engineered for wood doors, so the two prep to different door types even though both are 36 inch Grade 1 devices with hex key dogging.
22) What narrow stile Grade 1 option exists if the wood door stile is too small for the 9950WDCF-3ft wide stile case?
The Falcon 1690EO is a Grade 1 narrow stile concealed vertical rod exit only device in a 3 ft size for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the DORMA 9600BB is a 36 inch Grade 1 narrow stile pushpad concealed vertical rod device for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch listed non-fire-rated. The 9950WDCF-3ft uses a wide stile case measuring 8 inches by 2-3/4 inches by 2-3/8 inches with a 3-13/16 inch projection.
23) What finishes does the Von Duprin 9950WDC come in for matching existing hardware in a building?
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. For institutional buildings standardizing across a fleet of openings, 626 satin chrome and 630 satin stainless are the two most commonly carried through a facility.
24) Are there push bar options for low light or visually impaired users?
Four alternatives to the standard bar: BR braille push bar, KN knurled bar (the tactile warning surface used on doors to hazardous areas), RSS emergency exit push bar, and SG safety glow push bar for low light or power loss conditions. All are selected at order time on the 9950WDC.
25) Is there a concealed vertical rod device that fits narrow, medium or wide stile doors rather than being stile-specific like the 9950WDCF-3ft?
The CRL Jackson 1285 push pad concealed vertical rod panic exit is listed for narrow, medium or wide stile applications and is supplied exit only. The 9950WDCF-3ft is specifically a wide stile device, so the 1285 gives more flexibility on stile width while giving up the trim function range.
