Von Duprin 9827EO26D3 Surface Vertical Rod Exit Device

Product Description

The VON DUPRIN 9827EO26D3 is a 3-foot surface vertical rod exit device finished in 626 Satin Chrome. It mounts to the face of a door and engages top and bottom latching points through vertical rod linkage, providing positive latching without a mortise cutout. The smooth case design conceals the rod mechanism for a clean appearance on aluminum or steel commercial doors. This device is installed by licensed locksmiths, door hardware contractors, or general contractors working on commercial egress systems. At 17.2 pounds, it is a full-weight commercial-grade unit suited for high-traffic applications.

This exit device is intended for commercial and institutional buildings where code-compliant panic hardware is required on egress doors. Typical installations include schools, office buildings, hospitals, government facilities, and retail spaces. The 626 Satin Chrome finish coordinates with standard commercial door hardware finishes. Surface vertical rod devices are commonly specified when a door does not have an accessible bottom rail for concealed vertical rod hardware or when a through-bolt mortise device is not feasible.
