Schlage XB11-979 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What Von Duprin exit devices is the Schlage XB11-979 rim cylinder compatible with?
This rim cylinder is designed for Von Duprin 98 and 99 2-series double cylinder rim exit devices. It provides thumbturn operation on the secure side while maintaining keyed cylinder access from the exterior.
2) How does the double cylinder configuration work on rim exit devices?
Double cylinder rim exit devices require key operation from both sides when locked. The XB11-979 provides thumbturn convenience on the interior while maintaining security. Both cylinders must be unlocked for the exit device to retract.
3) What keying options are available for this rim cylinder?
The cylinder can be keyed to match existing systems or provided with construction keying. Consult your locksmith for specific keying requirements and to ensure compatibility with your master key system.
4) Is this cylinder handed or universal?
Rim cylinders for exit devices are typically universal and can be installed on either right-hand or left-hand applications. The thumbturn orientation adjusts during installation to suit the door configuration.
5) What finish does the 979 designation indicate?
The 979 finish is polished brass. This provides a traditional appearance that coordinates with brass Von Duprin exit device components and other Schlage commercial hardware in matching finishes.
6) How is the rim cylinder secured to the exit device?
The cylinder threads into the exit device case and is secured with a retaining ring or clip. Follow the exit device manufacturer's instructions for proper installation torque and cylinder retention methods.
7) Can this cylinder be used with single cylinder rim exit devices?
This cylinder is specifically designed for double cylinder applications. Single cylinder exit devices use different internal mechanisms. Verify your exit device model requires double cylinder operation before ordering.
8) What tools are needed for installation?
Installation typically requires cylinder pliers or spanner wrench for proper threading. Standard screwdrivers may be needed for retaining hardware. Avoid over-tightening which can damage the cylinder threads.
9) How do you maintain rim cylinders in exit devices?
Regular lubrication with graphite or cylinder-specific lubricant keeps operation smooth. Avoid oil-based lubricants that attract dirt. Check thumbturn operation and key function during routine exit device maintenance.
10) Are there alternative cylinders for Von Duprin 98/99 series devices?
Von Duprin also manufactures cylinders for their exit devices. The Schlage XB11 series provides an alternative with different keying options and finish choices while maintaining full compatibility.
11) What is the cylinder length specification?
Rim cylinders for exit devices have standardized threading and projection lengths. Verify your exit device case thickness and required cylinder projection before installation to ensure proper fit.
12) Can the thumbturn be removed for increased security?
Some applications require removable thumbturns for maximum security control. Check the cylinder specification to confirm if the thumbturn can be removed and what tools or keys are required for this function.
