Von Duprin 9927EO283 Surface Vertical Rod Exit Device

Product Description

The VON DUPRIN 9927EO283 is a 3-foot surface vertical rod exit device designed for single-door commercial and institutional applications. It mounts directly to the door surface, operating top and bottom rod latches simultaneously when the crossbar is pushed, allowing fast egress without requiring door hardware manipulation. The grooved case design provides a clean profile suited to high-traffic public entrances. Finished in 628 anodized aluminum, this unit resists corrosion and wear in demanding service environments. Licensed locksmiths, commercial door hardware installers, and security contractors typically specify and install this device on steel or aluminum door frames in buildings subject to life-safety code requirements.

This exit device is intended for commercial and institutional buildings including schools, hospitals, government facilities, and office complexes where code-compliant panic hardware is required on outswing egress doors. The grooved case surface vertical rod configuration makes it well suited to full-glass or narrow-stile doors where a concealed vertical rod device cannot be used. The 628 anodized aluminum finish coordinates with aluminum storefront and curtainwall door systems commonly found in these environments.
