Von Duprin 78EO 3 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Von Duprin 78 rim exit device fit a 1-3/4 inch hollow metal door?
Yes, 1-3/4 inches is exactly what the 78 Series device is set up for. The screw pack in the box covers 1-3/4 inch and 2-1/4 inch metal or wood doors, and the optional 425 SNB sex bolt set is there if you need through-bolting. Mounted, the touch bar centerline sits 39-13/16 inches off the finished floor and the device stands 3-13/16 inches off the door face, so check that projection against anything in the swing path.
2) Will the Von Duprin 78 latch into the strike that's already on my frame?
Plan on using the strike that ships with the device rather than the existing one. The 78 throws a 3/4 inch latchbolt and needs a strike matched to a rim device. Two are offered: the 299 strike for hollow metal and wood door frames, and the 499F strike for double door applications where the device latches to a mullion or the inactive leaf. Pick the one that matches your opening when you order.
3) Should I use a rim exit device or a vertical rod device on my opening?
A rim device latches into a strike on the frame or a mullion at the door edge, which is the simplest install and the usual choice for a single door or a pair with a removable mullion. Vertical rod is what you need on a pair with no mullion or a double egress pair, because it latches top and bottom instead. The 78 platform is configurable all three ways: rim with no suffix, surface mounted vertical rod as 27/SVR, or concealed vertical rod as 47/CVR. Concealed rod keeps the rods inside the door for appearance and vandal resistance; surface rod is easier to service.
4) Can I dog down a Von Duprin 78 so the door stays push-open during business hours?
Yes. Hex key dogging is standard on the 78, so you hold the latch retracted with the hex wrench and the door pushes free until you undog it. Two other options exist if hex doesn't suit: CD cylinder dogging, which lets you dog with a key instead of a wrench, and LD less dogging, for openings where dogging is not permitted. Note that dogging is a panic-device feature, so a fire-rated version will not have it.
5) What trim do I need with a Von Duprin 78 if I want people to get back in from outside?
Exit only (EO) has no outside trim at all, so the door is egress only. For outside access you specify the trim function with the device: NL night latch, which is key retracts latch with a pull, NL-OP night latch with optional pull, L lever, L-NL lever night latch, L-BE lever with blank escutcheon, and L-DT or DT for dummy trim where the pull is fixed and the door is not locked by the trim. If you pick any L function, you also choose the lever style, from 01, 02, 03, 05, 06, 07, 12, 16, 17 or 18, with 06 as the default.
6) The Von Duprin 78 is not fire rated as ordered - what fire rated rim exit device fits a 36 inch labeled opening?
The 78-3ft as catalogued carries no fire rating. For a labeled 36 inch opening, the Marks USA M9900F is a fire rated 36 inch rim exit device in exit only, the Orca OED85 Series is a fire rated 36 inch rim device in exit only, and the Dexter ED1000-R-F-EO is a Grade 1 fire rated rim device. On a narrow stile labeled aluminum door, the Adams Rite 3700 Series 30 inch is fire rated and wood door compatible. Fire rated rim devices omit dogging, so a labeled opening latches on every cycle rather than being held retracted the way the 78 allows with its hex key dogging.
7) The 78 will not fit a narrow stile aluminum storefront door - what rim exit device should a glass front installer use instead?
The Von Duprin 78 is a wide stile pushpad device and needs the stile width a wide stile push pad requires. For narrow stile aluminum entrances, the Adams Rite 8700 and 8800 Series 30 inch devices are narrow stile Grade 1 rim devices with starwheel interlocking, the Adams Rite EX88 is a narrow stile Grade 1 interlocking rim device, the Corbin Russwin ED4200 is a Grade 1 36 inch narrow stile rim device, and Falcon offers the 19-R Series Grade 1 36 inch narrow stile exit only. The Adams Rite 8800 lists a 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range, wider than the 1-3/4 inch the 78 is built around.
8) What is the closest wide stile Grade 1 rim exit device to the Von Duprin 78 at 36 inches?
The Von Duprin 78-3ft is a 36 inch wide stile Grade 1 rim exit device. The nearest peers in the same size and stile class are the Corbin Russwin ED5200, a Grade 1 36 inch wide stile rim device, the Detex Advantex 10 Series at 36 inches wide stile Grade 1 extra heavy duty, the TownSteel ED1100 36 inch Grade 1 wide stile heavy duty rim device, and the BEST Precision 2101 Series 36 inch wide stile rim device. All four are rim-applied push devices on a 36 inch door leaf, so the door prep concept is the same as the 78.
9) Which of these devices look like a substitute for the Von Duprin 78 but are not a rim panic device?
Several bars share the 36 inch push bar look without doing what the 78 does. The SDC MSB550 Series 36 inch is a mechanical switch bar that releases an electromagnetic lock, and the SDC SureExit PSB560 Series 36 inch is a pressure sense bar with tri-failsafe technology; both are switching bars that signal a separate locking device rather than throwing their own latch, where the 78 carries a 3/4 inch latch throw of its own. The Securitron EMB is an electromechanical exit bar listed for 2-1/4 inch doors. The Detex Advantex 00 Series is a wide stile dummy exit device with no latching function, and the Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM is catalogued in a dummy function. The Dexter ED1500-EXTRD-SP is a 12 inch extension rod assembly, a part for vertical rod devices, not a device.
10) What is the equivalent to the Von Duprin 78 for a 48 inch door leaf?
The Von Duprin 78-3ft covers a 36 inch opening. On a 48 inch leaf, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch wide stile crossbar rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors, the DORMA 9300 Series is a Grade 1 48 inch wide stile heavy duty exit only device with a 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness range, the Sargent 2828 and 3828 are Grade 1 reversible wide stile exit only devices for a 48 inch minimum door width, and the Dexter ED1000-R-EO-4FT is a Grade 1 4 ft rim device. Note that the ED3200 and the Sargent 3828 use a crossbar or standard push bar rather than the push pad the 78 uses.
11) What size door does a 3 ft Von Duprin 78 exit device cover, and is it field sizeable?
The 36 inch 78 Series device is the 3 ft size, and it is field sizeable, so it can be cut down to suit narrower openings rather than ordered exact. A 4 ft version covers wider doors. Both work in single and double door configurations.
12) Can the Von Duprin 78 be tied into an access control system or card reader?
Yes, several ways. QEL quiet electric latch retraction pulls the latch electrically for scheduled unlock or reader release with less noise than a solenoid device, and it comes in HD-QEL with hex dogging (panic only), QELX for AX accessible devices, and HD-QELX. For monitoring rather than control, there's RX request to exit, LX latchbolt monitor, LX-RX combined, RX2 double RX switch, and WP-RX waterproof RX for exterior openings. Local alarm is available too, as ALK, RX-ALK or LXRX-ALK.
13) I'm standardizing exit devices across a whole building, is the Von Duprin 78 the right pick?
For a fleet standardization it works well, because one platform covers most openings. The 78 is ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2014 Grade 1 with ANSI/UL 305 and CAN/ULC-S132 listings, and the same 78 platform configures as rim, surface vertical rod (27/SVR) or concealed vertical rod (47/CVR), so singles, pairs and double egress pairs all take the same touch bar and the same trim. Ten finishes are offered, from 626 satin chrome and 630-family brights through 710 dark bronze anodized and 711 flat black, so exterior and interior openings can match. Where a labeled door appears in the mix, order that one with the -F suffix.
14) Is there a simpler exit only rim device than the Von Duprin 78 for a back door that never needs outside trim?
The 78 is ordered with a trim function chosen from EO, DT, L, L-BE, L-DT, L-NL, NL and NL-OP, so exit only is one configuration of a device built to take lever and night latch trim. If the opening will never take outside trim, dedicated exit only devices ship that way: the Corbin Russwin ED2200 is a Grade 1 36 inch wide stile exit only device, the Arrow 3880 Series 30 inch is a Grade 1 wide stile pushpad exit only bar for 1-3/4 inch doors, the Dexter ED1000-R-EO-3FT is a Grade 1 3 ft rim device, and the Marks USA M9900 is a 36 inch exit only rim device with a panic protector end cap.
15) The Von Duprin 78 can be ordered with QEL electric latch retraction - what other rim devices are built for electrified openings?
The 78 platform takes QEL quiet electric latch retraction, HD-QEL with hex dogging for panic only, and the QELX versions for AX accessible devices, along with RX, LX, LX-RX and alarm kit switch options. Among the peers, the SDC S6136 Spectra S6000 Series is a 36 inch electrified architectural rim exit device on a 4 inch wide stile with a 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch door thickness range, the Dormakaba E2103 is a 36 inch electrified rim device with 4908A trim in an 08 classroom function, and the Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM is a fire rated wide stile rim device with RX and motorized electric latch retraction.
16) The Von Duprin 78 is a rim device - what should be used when the opening needs vertical rod latching at top and bottom?
The 78 platform itself is configurable as rim with no suffix, surface mounted vertical rod as 27 or SVR, or concealed vertical rod as 47 or CVR. If the vertical rod device is being sourced separately, the Hager 4501 Series is a 36 inch Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device with a wide stile pushpad, and the Hager 4601 Series is a 36 inch Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device in narrow stile. Vertical rod devices latch into the frame head and the floor rather than into a rim strike, which changes the frame and threshold prep.
17) What rim exit device matches the Von Duprin 78 for hex key dogging on a high traffic opening?
Hex key dogging holds the latch retracted for passage periods, and the Von Duprin 78 uses it as standard, with CD cylinder dogging and LD less dogging also available. Peers that list hex key dogging are the Design Hardware 1000R 33 inch heavy duty rim device, the Design Hardware 2000R 33 inch standard duty wide stile rim device, and the Stanley Security QED200 Series, a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim device with hex key dogging. The Dormakaba QED200 is the same series in a 36 inch Grade 1 heavy duty narrow device with a 7 ft rod.
18) Is a crossbar or paddle panic device interchangeable with the Von Duprin 78 push pad?
No. The Von Duprin 78 is a push pad device with a 3-13/16 inch projection and a 39-13/16 inch centerline from finished floor. Crossbar and paddle devices present a different actuator and a different mounting footprint: the CRL Jackson 1095 Series is a 48 inch wide stile crossbar rim panic device in exit only, the 1095P is the paddle version of the same series, and the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch wide stile crossbar device. The CRL Jackson 1295 Series is a non-handed wide stile push pad rim panic device for 1-3/4 inch doors, closer to the 78 in actuator type.
19) For standardizing exit hardware across a facility, which peers to the Von Duprin 78 offer both a wide stile and a narrow stile device in one family?
The Von Duprin 78 is a wide stile Grade 1 device sized at 36 inches. Several peer brands carry both stile types so a facility can hold one brand across storefront and hollow metal openings. Corbin Russwin lists the ED5200 in Grade 1 36 inch wide stile and the ED4200 in Grade 1 36 inch narrow stile. Hager lists the 4501 Series as a Grade 1 36 inch concealed vertical rod with a wide stile pushpad and the 4601 Series as the Grade 1 36 inch narrow stile equivalent. Detex lists the Advantex 10 Series in 36 inch wide stile Grade 1 and the 40 Advantex Series in narrow stile Grade 1 extra heavy duty. BEST lists the Precision 2101 in 36 inch wide stile and the 2401 in narrow stile exit only non-handed.
20) The Von Duprin 78 is handed by trim function - what rim exit devices are non-handed or reversible?
If a property manager wants one device that goes on either hand of an opening, the BEST Precision 5101 Series is a non-handed universal design rim exit device, the BEST 2401 Series is a narrow stile exit only non-handed device, the CRL Jackson 1295 Series is a non-handed push pad rim panic device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the Sargent 2828 and 3828 are Grade 1 reversible wide stile exit only devices for 48 inch doors. The Von Duprin 78 is ordered against a specific trim function from EO, DT, L, L-BE, L-DT, L-NL, NL and NL-OP, which is where its lever handing gets set.
21) The Von Duprin 78 can be ordered NL for night latch - what dedicated night latch rim devices are available?
Night latch on the Von Duprin 78 comes as a trim function, ordered NL, NL-OP with optional pull, or L-NL with a lever. Two peers come built around that function: the Sargent 8504 is a narrow design rim exit device in night latch function, Grade 1, and the Detex V4003A/03AN Series is a Grade 1 wide stile rim exit device with night latch trim. Night latch means the outside trim retracts the latch by key only, so a locksmith is specifying a cylinder with the device either way.
22) What is the AX option on the Von Duprin 78 and do I need it?
AX is the accessible device build of the 78, specified as yes or no when you order. It matters where reduced operating force at the touch bar is required for an accessible route. Worth deciding up front, because the electric latch retraction option changes with it: an AX device takes QELX or HD-QELX rather than the standard QEL.
23) How much room does a Von Duprin 78 exit device take up on the door face?
Projection is 3-13/16 inches from the door face for the 78 Series wide stile pushpad device. That is the number to check against a tight vestibule, an adjacent wall, a return leg, or a door that swings into a corridor with clearance requirements. The touch bar centerline lands at 39-13/16 inches above the finished floor.
