Von Duprin 88EO US26D-3 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Von Duprin 88 rim exit device fit a 1-3/4 inch hollow metal door?
That is exactly the door it is built for. The 88 Series is specified for 1-3/4 inch door thickness, and it covers stock hollow metal doors prepped with 86 or 161 cutouts. It is not rated for wood doors, so on a wood or mineral core opening you need a different device.
2) Is the Von Duprin 88 series exit device fire rated?
No. The 88-3FT crossbar device is a panic device only, not fire rated, so it cannot go on a labeled fire door assembly. It does carry ANSI/BHMA A156.3 2008 Grade 1 along with ANSI/UL 305 and CAN/ULC-S132 listings for accident hazard installations. If the opening is a labeled fire door, look at a fire rated rim device such as the Marks USA M9900F in 36 inch, or the Dexter ED1000 fire rated rim device.
3) Do I have to order a hand for the Von Duprin 88 rim device, or is it reversible?
Non-handed and field reversible, so one device covers a left or right hand opening without a special order. You still pick RHR or LHR when ordering because the trim and the strike side get set up for the door you are hanging, but the device itself can be flipped in the field.
4) Will a rim exit device work on a pair of doors, or do I need vertical rods?
A rim device latches into a strike on the frame or on a mullion, so on a pair it needs a removable mullion between the leaves. The 88 Series is set up for single and double door applications including mullion configurations. If you cannot have a mullion in the opening, you want a vertical rod device instead: the 88 family also comes in surface vertical rod (27), concealed vertical rod (47) and mortise (75) configurations, which latch at the head and threshold and leave the opening clear.
5) Will the Von Duprin 88 latch into the strike I already have on the frame?
The 88 throws a 3/4 inch latchbolt into a surface mounted rim strike on the frame stop. Rim strikes are device-specific, so unless you are replacing another rim device that used the matching Von Duprin strike, plan on the strike that comes with the device rather than reusing what is on the frame.
6) What outside trim options are there for the Von Duprin 88, and what do I order for a door that has to stay locked from outside?
Twelve trim functions are offered: exit only (EO), night latch (NL), knob (K) with blank escutcheon, dummy trim and night latch variants, lever (L) with blank escutcheon or dummy trim, thumb piece (TP) plain or with blank escutcheon, and straight dummy trim (DT). For a door that must be locked from outside but free to leave from inside, EO gives you no outside operation at all, and NL lets a key retract the latch for entry. If you pick a lever function you also choose the lever style: 06 (default), 01, 02, 03, 07 or 17.
7) What is the difference between a wide stile and a narrow stile rim exit device?
Wide stile is what the 88 is: a crossbar device sized for the broad stile of a hollow metal or heavy commercial door. A narrow stile device is built for the thin vertical rail of an aluminum storefront leaf, where a wide stile chassis simply will not land on the metal. If your opening is aluminum glass front, look at narrow stile options like the Adams Rite 8700 Series, the Corbin Russwin ED4200, or the Falcon 19-R.
8) What is the closest wide stile crossbar rim exit device to the Von Duprin 88-3FT?
The Corbin Russwin ED3200 is the nearest crossbar match: it is a Grade 1 wide stile crossbar rim exit device for 1-3/4" doors, same crossbar push style and same door thickness the 88-3FT is built for. The main difference is length - the ED3200 is a 48" device, while the 88-3FT covers a 36" opening. On the glass-door side, the CRL Jackson 1095 is also a wide stile crossbar rim panic device, but it is exit only, so it will not take the knob, lever, night latch or thumb piece trim the 88 Series accepts.
9) The opening needs a fire rated exit device - what should be used instead of the Von Duprin 88-3FT?
The 88-3FT is not a fire rated device, so a fire labeled opening needs a fire rated unit. At 36", the Orca Hardware OED85 is a fire rated rim exit device and the Marks USA M9900F is a fire rated 36" rim device with a panic protector end cap; both are exit only. The Dexter ED1000-R-F-EO is a Grade 1 fire rated rim exit device, matching the 88-3FT's Grade 1 rating. If the fire rated door is narrow stile, the Adams Rite 3700 Series is a 30" Grade 1 fire rated narrow stile rim device and is rated for wood doors as well.
10) The door is a narrow stile aluminum storefront - can the Von Duprin 88-3FT go on it?
The 88-3FT is a wide stile device and needs the stile width to match. For a narrow stile aluminum door, the Adams Rite 8800 Series is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device covering 1-3/4" to 2-1/4" doors, and the Adams Rite 8700 Series is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device that is also rated for wood doors. Falcon's 19-R is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device at 36" for 1-3/4" doors, exit only, and the Corbin Russwin ED4200 is a Grade 1 36" narrow stile rim device that accepts trim, which is the closer pick if the outside needs a lever or night latch.
11) The door is a wood door - will the Von Duprin 88-3FT work?
The 88-3FT is set up for hollow metal and is not rated for wood door mounting. Among 30" narrow stile rim devices, the Adams Rite 8700 Series is Grade 1 and rated for wood doors, and the Adams Rite 3700 Series is a Grade 1 fire rated narrow stile device that is also wood door rated - that second one covers a wood door on a fire labeled opening.
12) Which 36 inch wide stile rim exit devices are direct Grade 1 alternatives to the Von Duprin 88-3FT?
Several 36" wide stile Grade 1 rim devices line up with the 88-3FT. The Corbin Russwin ED2200 and ED5200 are both Grade 1 36" wide stile rim devices for 1-3/4" doors; the ED5200 accepts trim while the ED2200 is exit only. The TownSteel ED1100 is a 36" heavy duty Grade 1 wide stile panic rim device, and the BEST Precision 2101 is a 36" wide stile rim device. The Detex Advantex 10 Series is a 36" wide stile extra heavy duty Grade 1 rim device. The main split among them is push style - the 88 Series uses a crossbar, while these use pushpad or touch bar profiles.
13) Is an SDC pressure sense bar or switch bar a substitute for the Von Duprin 88-3FT?
No - they do different jobs. The 88-3FT is a mechanical rim exit device with a 3/4" latch throw that latches the door itself. The SDC MSB550 is a 36" mechanical switch bar that releases an electromagnetic lock, and the SDC PSB560 SureExit is a 36" pressure sense bar; both fit narrow or wide stile doors but signal a separate locking device rather than carrying a latch. If the opening is maglocked, those are the right parts; if the door needs its own latching, they are not a swap for the 88 Series. The SDC S6136 Spectra is the closer item of the three - an electrified rim exit device with a 4" wide stile for 1-3/4" to 2" doors.
14) What is the alternative to the Von Duprin 88-3FT for a 48 inch door leaf?
The 88-3FT is sized for a 36" opening. For a 48" leaf, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48" wide stile crossbar rim device for 1-3/4" doors, which keeps the crossbar look. The CRL Jackson 1095 is a 48" wide stile crossbar rim panic device, exit only. The DORMA 9300 is a Grade 1 48" wide stile panic rim device, exit only, covering 1-3/4" to 2-1/4" doors, and Sargent's 2828 and 3828 are Grade 1 reversible wide stile rim devices for 48" doors, the 3828 with a standard push bar.
15) Which alternatives to the Von Duprin 88-3FT come with a night latch function for a door that has to be re-entered from outside?
The 88 Series offers night latch trim as well as knob night latch. If the substitute needs the same outside key retraction, the Sargent 8504 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device in night latch function, and the Detex V4003A/03AN is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device with night latch trim. The Corbin Russwin ED5200, a Grade 1 36" wide stile device, accepts trim, so night latch trim can be specified with it. Devices listed as exit only, such as the Corbin Russwin ED2200 and the Marks USA M9900, do not take outside trim.
16) Which exit devices are exit only and cannot replace a Von Duprin 88-3FT ordered with lever trim?
The 88 Series takes a full range of outside trim including lever, knob, thumb piece and blank escutcheon variants, with 06, 01, 02, 03, 07 and 17 lever styles. Several otherwise close devices are exit only and will leave the outside of the door with no operable trim: the Corbin Russwin ED2200 at 36" Grade 1 wide stile, the Imperial USA ED-501 at 36" Grade 1 wide stile, the Orca OED55 at 36", the Marks USA M9900 at 36", and the Arrow 3880 Series 30" Grade 1 wide stile pushpad bar. If the opening needs keyed or lever entry from outside, choose a device that accepts trim, such as the Corbin Russwin ED5200.
17) The Von Duprin 88-3FT is a rim device - what are the vertical rod options when the opening is a pair without a mullion?
A rim device latches to a strike on the frame or mullion, so a pair without a mullion needs vertical rod hardware instead. The Hager 4501 is a 36" Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device with a wide stile pushpad, matching the wide stile the 88-3FT is used on, and the Hager 4601 is the 36" Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device for narrow stile doors. Concealed rod devices need top and bottom door prep that a rim device does not.
18) How much clearance do I need in front of a Von Duprin 88 crossbar device, and how high does it mount?
Figure 4-3/4 inches of projection off the door face for the crossbar, which matters where the door swings toward a wall, a stair, or a corridor with a tight egress path. The device centerline sits 39-13/16 inches above the finished floor.
19) Can you hold a Von Duprin 88 panic bar open during business hours?
Yes, using the hex key dogging. Depress the crossbar, insert the hex key and dog it down, and the latch stays retracted so the door pushes open freely. That is for non-fire openings only, which suits this device since it is not fire rated.
20) Can I get a Von Duprin 88 exit device with a request-to-exit switch for my access control system?
Yes. RX is an orderable option on the 88, which signals the access control panel or alarm when someone pushes the bar so a legitimate exit does not read as a forced door. The device also supports optional E8875 electrified trim for access control or fire alarm integration.
21) What is knurling on an exit device crossbar and when do I need it?
Knurling is a roughened texture on the bar that a person feels as a tactile warning that the door leads somewhere hazardous, typically a stairwell, loading platform, or boiler room. Order the KN knurled crossbar for those openings. The other two crossbar choices are the standard bar and RCB, a reinforced crossbar for high abuse traffic.
22) What is the closest equivalent to a Von Duprin 88 from another brand?
For a like-for-like 36 inch wide stile Grade 1 rim device, the Corbin Russwin ED5200 and the TownSteel ED1100 are the nearest matches, both Grade 1 wide stile in 36 inch. If you specifically want the crossbar look rather than a push pad, the Corbin Russwin ED3000 Series is a Grade 1 wide stile crossbar rim device. On a tighter budget, the Cal-Royal 5000 is a 36 inch wide rim device with a touch bar and a Grade 2 chassis.
23) Is a Von Duprin 88 heavy enough for a school or hospital exit that gets used all day?
It is certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3, 2008 Grade 1, the top commercial durability grade, and it is a commercial-only device. For the highest traffic doors, order the RCB reinforced crossbar. Comparable Grade 1 wide stile devices if you are standardizing across a facility include the Detex 10 Advantex in 36 inch, rated extra heavy duty, and the DORMA 8300 Series.
24) What is a lighter duty alternative to the Von Duprin 88-3FT for a low traffic door?
The 88-3FT is a Grade 1 commercial device. Where Grade 1 is not required by the spec, the Cal-Royal 5000 is a 36" heavy duty rim exit device with a touch bar on a Grade 2 chassis, and the Cal-Royal 5500 is a 48" Grade 2 heavy duty push bar rim device. The Design Hardware 2000R is a 33" standard duty wide stile rim device with hex key dogging, the same dogging arrangement as the 88-3FT. Confirm the local code and the door schedule before dropping below Grade 1.
25) What device replaces the Von Duprin 88-3FT when the opening needs a request to exit signal for access control?
The 88 Series can be ordered with an RX request to exit switch, so the switch does not force a brand change. If the substitute has to carry it, the Sargent 12-8810 is a Grade 1 fire rated wide stile rim device supplied with RX and MELR, which also covers a fire labeled opening the 88-3FT does not. The SDC S6136 Spectra is an electrified wide stile rim device for 1-3/4" to 2" doors, and the Dormakaba E2103 is an electrified 36" rim device with 4908A trim in classroom function.
26) What matches the Von Duprin 88-3FT for hex key dogging on a heavy traffic door?
The 88-3FT uses hex key dogging. Two other rim devices carry the same arrangement: the Design Hardware 1000R is a 33" heavy duty rim device with hex key dogging, and the Stanley Security QED200 is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim device with hex key dogging. The Stanley unit is narrow stile, so it suits a different door than the wide stile 88-3FT. The Dormakaba QED200 is the same series in a Grade 1 heavy duty 36" narrow device with a 7 ft rod.
27) Which alternatives to the Von Duprin 88-3FT hold the 1-3/4 inch door thickness if some doors in the building are thicker?
The 88-3FT is built for 1-3/4" doors. If part of the fleet runs thicker, the Adams Rite 8800 Series is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device covering 1-3/4" to 2-1/4", and the DORMA 9300 is a Grade 1 wide stile panic rim device covering the same 1-3/4" to 2-1/4" range - the closer of the two to the 88-3FT since it is wide stile. The SDC S6136 covers 1-3/4" to 2". Devices such as the Corbin Russwin ED5200 and the Arrow ED910 are 1-3/4" only, the same as the 88-3FT.
28) Is the Falcon Monarch 18 Series an equivalent to the Von Duprin 88-3FT?
The Falcon Monarch 18 is a Grade 1 rim exit device at 36", the same width and grade as the Von Duprin 88-3FT, so it fits the same opening size on a Grade 1 spec. The Falcon 1590EO and 1790EO are Grade 1 narrow stile rim devices at 42" for 1-3/4" doors, exit only, which puts them on a wider, narrow stile door rather than the 36" wide stile door the 88-3FT is built for.
29) Can a Securitron EMB electromechanical exit bar be used in place of a Von Duprin 88-3FT?
Only if the door and the lock scheme suit it. The Securitron EMB is an electromechanical exit bar listed for a 2-1/4" door thickness, while the 88-3FT is built for 1-3/4" doors, so the door itself decides. The 88-3FT is a mechanical device with a 3/4" latch throw and hex key dogging; the EMB works as part of an electrified opening. They are not a drop-in exchange on the same door.
30) Do I need to buy mounting hardware separately for the Von Duprin 88 exit device?
All necessary mounting fasteners come with the device. What is not in the box is the outside trim, which you specify as part of the order, and the mullion if you are securing a pair of doors.
31) What finishes does the Von Duprin 88 crossbar exit device come in?
Nine finishes, so it can be matched to existing hardware across a building: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 612 satin bronze, 613 oil rubbed bronze, 619 satin nickel, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, 643E aged bronze, and 693 black. 626 satin chrome is the usual choice where the rest of the building hardware is commercial standard.
