Von Duprin 9927EO26D3 Surface Vertical Rod Exit Device

Product Description

The VON DUPRIN 9927EO26D3 is a 3-foot surface vertical rod exit device with a grooved case profile, finished in 626 Satin Chrome. It is designed for single-door and paired-door applications where panic hardware is required by code. The device mounts to the face of the door and engages top and bottom latching points through a vertical rod mechanism, providing positive door retention and reliable egress under emergency conditions. Licensed commercial door hardware technicians and security contractors install this device as part of code-compliant exit systems in high-traffic openings.

This exit device is intended for commercial and institutional buildings where NFPA 101, IBC, or local fire and life safety codes mandate panic or fire exit hardware. Typical installations include schools, hospitals, office buildings, government facilities, and other public occupancies. The surface-mounted vertical rod configuration suits openings where mortise or concealed rod hardware is not practical, and the grooved case provides a streamlined profile along the door edge. The 626 Satin Chrome finish is a standard architectural finish compatible with common door hardware finishes in commercial specification work.

Confirm the opening is not under load or latch pressure during installation and adjust rod length to achieve proper top and bottom latch engagement.
