Von Duprin 78EO 4 626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Von Duprin 78 rim exit device fit a 1-3/4 inch metal door, and does it work on a 36 inch wide door if I buy the 48 inch bar?
The 78 Series rim device is built for 1-3/4 inch door thickness, and the 48 inch version is field sizeable, so it can be cut down on site for narrower single doors as well as double door openings. It's a wide stile pushpad device, meaning it needs a door stile deep enough to take the pushpad chassis, and the record lists it as not wood door compatible, so plan it for hollow metal. Mounted, the pushpad centerline sits at 39-13/16 inches from finished floor and the device projects 3-13/16 inches off the face of the door.
2) Can I use this Von Duprin 78 on a fire rated door in my stairwell?
No. This configuration of the 78 is not fire rated, so it cannot go on a labeled fire door. For a fire rated opening you'd want the fire rated version of the series (the -F suffix) or a device that is listed fire rated to begin with, such as the Marks USA M9900F in 48 inch, or the Dexter ED1000 Series fire rated rim device. Also note that dogging is not permitted on fire doors, which is part of why the non-rated hex key dogging build is the wrong pick there.
3) Will this exit device latch into the strike that's already on my frame?
The 78 throws a 3/4 inch latchbolt against a surface mounted rim strike on the frame stop. If the opening currently has another rim device, the existing strike location is usually reusable, but strike bodies differ by manufacturer, so match the strike to the Von Duprin latch rather than assuming the old one lines up. Anything that latches into the frame head or the floor (a vertical rod device) is a different prep entirely and will not convert to a rim strike without new work.
4) I have a pair of doors with no center mullion. Is a rim device like the Von Duprin 78 the right choice?
Not by itself. A rim device latches into a strike on the frame, so a pair without a mullion gives it nothing to catch. You've got two ways to go: add a removable mullion and run two rim devices, or order the 78 as a vertical rod device instead. The series covers surface vertical rod (27-SVR) and concealed vertical rod (47-CVR) configurations, and those latch at the head and threshold so a mullion isn't needed.
5) What do I have to specify when ordering a Von Duprin 78 rim device?
Four things drive the part number. Trim function: exit only (EO), night latch (NL), night latch with optional pull (NL-OP), lever (L), lever with blank escutcheon (L-BE), lever with dummy trim (L-DT), lever night latch (L-NL), or dummy trim (DT). Lever design if you picked an L function, from 01, 02, 03, 05, 06, 07, 12, 16, 17 and 18. Dogging: hex key (standard), CD cylinder dogging, or LD less dogging. And finish. There's also an AX accessible device option, optional monitoring switches, and quiet electric latch retraction if the opening is tied to access control.
6) My door is an aluminum storefront with a narrow stile. Can I still use the Von Duprin 78?
No. The 78 is a wide stile pushpad device, and a narrow aluminum storefront stile doesn't have the face width to take it. For those openings go to a narrow stile rim device instead, like the Adams Rite 8700 or 8800 Series, the Corbin Russwin ED4200, or the Falcon 19-R. The Adams Rite 8800 is listed for 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors if the storefront leaf is thicker than standard.
7) What is the closest equivalent to a Von Duprin 78 48 inch wide stile rim exit device from another manufacturer?
The Von Duprin 78 is a 48 inch wide stile pushpad rim device, Grade 1, for 1-3/4 inch doors. The closest cross-brand matches on those points are the Dormakaba DORMA 9300A, a Grade 1 wide stile rim panic device in 48 inch covering 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Dexter ED1000-R-EO in the 4 ft length, also Grade 1. Corbin Russwin's ED3200 is a Grade 1 wide stile 48 inch rim device as well, but it uses a crossbar rather than a pushpad.
8) The Von Duprin 78 is not fire rated - what fire rated rim exit device should I use on a labeled opening?
The 78 as specified carries no fire rating, so it is not the device for a labeled door. Fire rated rim alternatives include the Marks USA M9900F in 48 inch, an exit only fire rated rim panic device, the Dexter ED1000-R-F-EO, a Grade 1 fire rated rim device, the Orca OED85 in 36 inch, and the Adams Rite 3700 in 30 inch, a Grade 1 fire rated narrow stile rim device. Confirm the length against your door width.
9) What is hex key dogging on an exit device, and should I order cylinder dogging instead?
Dogging holds the pushpad depressed so the latch stays retracted and the door pushes open freely, which is what you want on a retail or office entrance during business hours. Hex key dogging, the standard build on the 78, uses an Allen wrench, so anyone with the wrench can dog the door. Cylinder dogging (CD) puts a keyed cylinder in its place, so only a keyholder can do it, which is the better call on a tenant entrance or anywhere you don't want staff dogging the door unsupervised. LD (less dogging) ships without the feature at all, which is what fire rated openings require.
10) Does the Von Duprin 78 come with the mounting screws, or do I need sex bolts too?
A screw pack is included, covering 1-3/4 inch and 2-1/4 inch thick doors. On hollow metal doors with a hardware reinforcement that's usually all you need. If the door has no reinforcement, or you're on a through-bolt spec for an abuse-prone opening, add the optional 425 SNB sex nut and bolt set, which is ordered separately. The strike and any exterior trim are separate line items as well.
11) Is the Von Duprin 78 heavy duty enough for a high traffic warehouse or school exit?
It carries ANSI/BHMA A156.3-2014 Grade 1 certification, which is the top durability class for exit devices and the right spec for school, warehouse and multi-tenant exits. It's also listed to ANSI/UL 305 as panic hardware. If you're standardizing a facility and want the same wide stile pushpad look from another line, the Corbin Russwin ED5200 and the BEST Precision 2101 are Grade 1 wide stile rim devices as well.
12) Can I tie this exit device into my access control system and release it electrically?
Yes. The 78 can be ordered with Quiet Electric Latch Retraction (QEL) to pull the latch electrically with limited noise, including HD-QEL if you want hex dogging retained on a panic (non-fire) device, and QELX/HD-QELX on AX accessible devices. For monitoring only, there are RX request-to-exit, LX latchbolt monitor, LX-RX combination, RX2 double switch and WP-RX waterproof switch options, plus ALK alarm exit kits with or without switches. Decide monitoring versus retraction before you order, since both are built into the device rather than added later.
13) Is there a lighter duty or Grade 2 rim exit device instead of the Von Duprin 78?
The 78 is ANSI/BHMA Grade 1. If the opening does not call for Grade 1, the Cal-Royal 5500 is a 48 inch rim exit device with a push bar rated Grade 2 heavy duty, and the Cal-Royal 5000 is the same family in 36 inch with a touch bar. Hager's 4701 in 36 inch is a standard duty rim device that still carries Grade 1 BHMA certification, and Design Hardware's 2000R at 33 inch is a standard duty wide stile rim device with hex key dogging like the 78.
14) I need a wide stile device that mounts on a door wider than what a 48 inch rim device covers - what else works?
The Von Duprin 78 covers a 48 inch door opening in its 4 ft size. For openings in that same range from other makers, Sargent's 2828 and 3828 are Grade 1 reversible wide stile rim devices intended for 48 inch minimum door width, the 3828 using a standard push bar. CRL Jackson's 1095 in 48 inch is a wide stile crossbar rim panic device for exit only openings.
15) What is the difference between the Von Duprin 78 and a concealed vertical rod device like the Hager 4501?
The 78 is a rim device, latching into a surface strike on the frame with a 3/4 inch latch throw. The Hager 4501 in 36 inch is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device with a wide stile pushpad, latching top and bottom with rods hidden in the door, and the Hager 4601 is the narrow stile equivalent. Vertical rod devices suit pairs without a mullion; rim devices like the 78 need a strike surface, so they are not interchangeable without changing the opening prep.
16) Is an SDC push bar a substitute for the Von Duprin 78 rim exit device?
They are not the same class of device. The 78 is a mechanical Grade 1 rim exit device with its own latch and a 3/4 inch throw. The SDC MSB550 in 36 inch is a mechanical switch bar that releases an electromagnetic lock, and the SDC PSB560 SureExit is a pressure sense bar with tri-failsafe technology - both fit narrow or wide stile doors but depend on a separate locking device. If you want an electrified rim device that still latches, the SDC S6136 Spectra is an architectural rim exit device with a 4 inch wide stile for 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch doors.
17) Which other rim exit devices come with hex key dogging like the Von Duprin 78?
The 78 ships with hex key dogging as standard. Design Hardware's 1000R at 33 inch is a heavy duty rim device with hex key dogging, the 2000R at 33 inch is the standard duty version with the same dogging, and the Stanley QED200 series narrow stile device is a Grade 1 heavy duty rim device with hex key dogging. The 78 can also be ordered with cylinder dogging or less dogging if the opening does not permit hold-open.
18) What finishes does the Von Duprin 78 exit device come in?
Ten: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 619 satin nickel, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, 628 aluminum, 643E aged bronze, 710 dark bronze anodized and 711 flat black. For matching a run of existing openings, 626 satin chrome and 628 aluminum are the two that show up most on commercial storefront and hollow metal, and 711 flat black is the one to pick when the rest of the building hardware has been switched to black.
19) Is the crossbar style or the pushpad style better for my exit?
The 78 is a pushpad device, which is the current commercial standard: a flat pad across the door face, less to catch on, and it takes lever and night latch trim cleanly. A crossbar device, like the Corbin Russwin ED3200 or the CRL Jackson 1095 Series in 48 inch, is the older look and is the one to specify when you're matching existing crossbar hardware on adjacent openings in the same building or a historic interior. Function is equivalent at the opening; the difference is the actuator and the appearance.
20) What wide stile rim device should I consider for an extra heavy duty opening compared to the Von Duprin 78?
The 78 is Grade 1 for heavy commercial traffic. Detex rates its Advantex line above standard heavy duty: the Detex 10 Series in 36 inch is a Grade 1 wide stile rim exit device listed as extra heavy duty, and the Detex 40 Series is the extra heavy duty narrow stile version. The Detex V4003A wide stile Grade 1 device comes configured with night latch trim, which the 78 also offers as a trim function.
21) I only need a dummy device to match an active exit device - is the Von Duprin 78 the right order?
The 78 can be ordered with a DT dummy trim function, so it can be matched into a pair. If you want a purpose-built dummy from another line, the Detex Advantex 00 Series is a super heavy duty dummy exit device with wide stile design, Grade 1. A dummy has no latch, so it only serves the inactive leaf.
