Von Duprin Rim Exit Devices

Shop Von Duprin rim exit devices and panic bars for compatible commercial door openings. Compare push-pad and crossbar designs across the available series, including selected fire-rated and electrified configurations. A rim device has its latch at the center case, engaging a compatible strike at the edge of the opening.

Start with the door dimensions, stile width and required operating function, then select the appropriate device series, length and finish. Explore Von Duprin 99 Series and 88 Series hardware, and match outside access requirements with exit device trim. For other latching arrangements, browse the full Von Duprin exit devices collection.

Choosing Von Duprin Rim Exit Devices

Von Duprin rim exit devices provide a latching arrangement with the latchbolt located at the device center case. The latch engages a compatible strike at the side of the opening. Choosing this format starts with confirming that the door and frame are prepared for the intended rim device. For replacement work, record the existing device model and strike before comparing new hardware. A similar bar length or finish does not establish that another device will fit the same preparation.

The collection includes multiple Von Duprin series, so compare both the operating style and the dimensions required by the door. Push-pad devices and traditional 88 Series crossbar devices offer different appearances. The 98 and 99 families also have different case designs, while the assortment includes selected narrow-stile rim models. Check the space available on the door and the installation template for the exact series. Select the device for its fit and required function before choosing its visible finish.

Device length and door width should be reviewed together. A listed nominal length does not replace checking the supported door-width range and any permitted sizing instructions. Also confirm door thickness, handing where applicable and the mounting requirements. On paired doors, review the specified strike and mullion arrangement as part of the complete opening. Keep the door measurements and project hardware schedule together while ordering so the device and its supporting components can be checked against the same requirements.

Outside access depends on the trim and device function selected. Exit-only listings and packages with knob, lever or thumbpiece trim meet different needs, and trim may be supplied separately. Review the package contents to determine whether the required trim, strike and mounting hardware are included. For electrified options, check the exact operating feature and its electrical requirements rather than assuming that all electrified rim devices perform the same function. Coordinate any required controls and power equipment with the selected model.

Choose panic hardware or listed fire exit hardware according to the opening requirements, and verify the configuration on the individual listing. For an existing device that needs servicing, the Von Duprin parts collection provides a separate route to replacement components. Match repair items by the device series and component reference. Before completing a new-device order, review the full model number, size, outside access function, finish and included components together to make sure the hardware matches the planned installation.
