Von Duprin 9927EO3133 Surface Vertical Rod Exit Device

Product Description

The VON DUPRIN 9927EO3133 is a 3-foot surface vertical rod exit device with a grooved case design, finished in 710 Dark Bronze. It is engineered for single-door applications in commercial and institutional settings where code-compliant panic hardware is required. The device mounts directly to the door surface, engaging top and bottom rods to latch points at both the head and threshold. Licensed locksmiths, door hardware specialists, and commercial contractors are the primary installers. At 17.3 pounds, the unit is a substantial, full-height assembly built for high-traffic openings where reliable egress is a life-safety requirement.

This exit device is suited for commercial, institutional, and public-assembly buildings including schools, hospitals, government facilities, and office complexes. Surface vertical rod devices are commonly specified on double-egress or active-leaf door pairs where concealed rod hardware is not practical. The grooved case profile accommodates frame and glazing conditions found in standard commercial door construction. The 710 Dark Bronze finish coordinates with common architectural hardware finishes specified in commercial door schedules.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation of panic exit hardware must comply with applicable local building codes, NFPA 101 Life Safety Code, and door hardware industry standards such as ANSI/BHMA requirements. Power down any electrified hardware integrated with the door assembly before servicing. A licensed door hardware installer or commercial locksmith should perform template layout, rod adjustment, and strike alignment to ensure positive latching under load. Do not modify the rod length or case assembly outside of manufacturer specifications.
