Von Duprin 98EO-3-626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Von Duprin 98EO fit a 1-3/4 inch hollow metal door?
Yes. The 98EO is built for 1-3/4 inch doors, and that is the only thickness it covers. Fasteners ship in the box for wood or metal doors 1-3/4 inch and 2-1/4 inch thick, but the device itself is a 1-3/4 inch application. It arrives non-handed, so the same device goes on a left or right hand opening without reversing anything.
2) What size Von Duprin 98EO do I order for a 36 inch wide door?
Two device lengths cover the range: the 3'0 device fits doors 2'4 inch through 3'0 inch, and the 4'0 device fits doors 3'1 inch through 4'0 inch. A 36 inch (3'0) door takes the 3'0 device. Anything wider than 36 inches, up to a 4 foot leaf, takes the 4'0. The rails field cut down within their stated range.
3) Can I dog down a Von Duprin 98EO to hold the door in push-pull during business hours?
Only on the non-fire-rated version. The non-fire-rated 98EO comes with hex key dogging standard, so you can retract the latch and leave the opening free-swinging for the day. The fire-rated version has no dogging at all, which is what fire code requires: a fire door has to latch on every close. If you need dogging on a labeled opening, you need an electric latch retraction device instead, not this one.
4) Is the Von Duprin 98EO approved for a fire-rated door?
There's a fire-rated build of the 98EO that is UL Listed for 3 hours on A or B label doors, and a separate non-fire-rated build. You pick one at order time, they are not the same device, and the non-rated one cannot go on a labeled opening. The fire-rated version ships with the 299F strike; the standard device comes with the 299 roller strike.
5) Will the 98EO latch into the strike prep already in my frame?
The 98EO uses a deadlatching latchbolt with a 3/4 inch throw and ships with its own strike, the 299 roller strike (299F on fire-rated devices). A rim device latches into a surface-applied strike on the frame stop, not into an ANSI mortise lock prep, so if you are coming off a mortise or cylindrical lock you are drilling and mounting a new strike, not reusing the old cutout. If the door already has a Von Duprin rim device with a 299 strike in place, the strike stays.
6) Does the Von Duprin 98EO have an outside lever or key to get back in?
No, and that is the point of the EO suffix. Exit only means push pad on the inside and nothing on the outside face, no trim, no lever, no cylinder. Once the door shuts behind you, you're not coming back through it. If you need outside access, you want a trimmed model in the 98 family rather than the EO, or a rim device sold as accepting trim, like the Corbin Russwin ED5200, which is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device listed as exit only, accepts trim.
7) Can I use a rim exit device on a pair of doors?
A rim device latches into a strike on the frame or into a mullion, so on a pair it needs a mullion between the leaves. Put a removable mullion in and each leaf gets its own 98EO. Without a mullion the pair has no place for the rim strike to land, and you need vertical rod devices instead, either surface rod or concealed. For a concealed rod pair, the Hager 4501 Series is a Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device with a wide stile pushpad.
8) The door is wood - what wide stile alternative works where the Von Duprin 98EO does not?
The 98EO is not wood door compatible. Among rim exit devices that are, the Adams Rite 8700 Series is a 30 inch Grade 1 narrow stile rim device, non-fire-rated, and wood door compatible. Where the opening also needs a fire rating, the Adams Rite 3700 Series is a Grade 1 fire-rated narrow stile rim device that is likewise wood door compatible. Both use a narrow stile chassis rather than the wide stile pushpad of the 98EO, so the pushpad footprint on the door face changes.
9) The opening has a narrow stile aluminum door - what rim exit device should be used instead of the Von Duprin 98EO?
The 98EO is built as a wide stile pushpad device, so a narrow stile aluminum door calls for a different chassis. The Corbin Russwin ED4200 is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim exit device for 1-3/4 inch doors, exit only and able to accept trim. The Falcon 19-R is a Grade 1 narrow stile rim device, exit only, also for 1-3/4 inch doors. On aluminum storefront the Adams Rite 8800 Series narrow stile rim device covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch door thickness, which is useful when the stile is thicker than the 1-3/4 inch the 98EO is designed around.
10) What is the closest Grade 1 wide stile rim exit device to the Von Duprin 98EO if the 98 Series is not an option?
The Corbin Russwin ED5200 is the nearest match in shape and rating: a Grade 1 wide stile rim exit device for 1-3/4 inch doors, exit only, and it also accepts trim. Like the 98EO it is a wide stile pushpad device sized for a 36 inch door. The Sargent 2828 is another Grade 1 wide stile rim device with exit only function, sized for a 48 inch minimum door width, which lines up with the 98EO in its 4'0 length covering 3'1 inch to 4'0 inch doors. Both are rim devices, so the strike prep on the frame stays in the same family rather than moving to vertical rod.
11) Which fire-rated rim exit devices are alternatives to the Von Duprin 98-EO-F?
The 98EO is offered in a UL Listed 3-hour fire-rated configuration for A or B label doors. Among other fire-rated rim devices, the Dexter ED1000 Series fire-rated rim exit device is Grade 1. The Marks USA M9900F is a fire-rated rim exit device in exit only function and comes in 36 inch and 48 inch sizes, matching the two door ranges the 98EO covers. The Orca Hardware OED85 is a 36 inch fire-rated rim exit device in exit only function. The Adams Rite 3700 Series is a Grade 1 fire-rated narrow stile rim device and is wood door compatible, so it suits a different door construction than the 98EO. Note that fire-rated rim devices do not carry the hex key dogging that comes standard on the non-fire-rated 98-EO.
12) What rim exit devices look like a substitute for the Von Duprin 98EO but are not?
Several devices sit in the same aisle without doing the same job. The Detex Advantex 00 Series is a wide stile Grade 1 device but is a dummy exit device, so it has no latching function at all. The Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM is a fire-rated Grade 1 wide stile rim device in dummy function with RX and MELR, which is an electrified trim assembly rather than a mechanical exit-only bar. The Sargent 8504 is a night latch function narrow stile rim device, a different function from the exit only 98EO. The Hager 4501 Series is a 36 inch Grade 1 wide stile pushpad device but is concealed vertical rod, not rim, so it needs top and bottom rod prep instead of a rim strike on the frame. The Dexter ED1500-EXTRD-SP is a 12 inch extension rod assembly, a part for ED1500 devices rather than a device.
13) How far does the Von Duprin 98EO stick out from the door face?
Projection is 3-13/16 inches at rest and 3-1/16 inches when the pad is pushed. The center case measures 8 x 2-3/4 x 2-3/8 inches. Those numbers matter when the door swings into a corridor with a clear-width requirement, or where the leaf swings back against a wall and the device would strike it, and when you are checking the pad clears an adjacent frame on a pair.
14) Is the Von Duprin 98EO Grade 1 and heavy enough for a school or hospital main exit?
Grade 1, certified to ANSI A156.3-2001, which is the top durability tier for exit hardware and what belongs on a high-cycle exit in a school, hospital, or government building. It is a commercial-only device. Comparable Grade 1 wide stile rim options in the same class include the BEST Precision 2101 Series, the Corbin Russwin ED2200, and the TownSteel ED1100; the Cal-Royal 5000 and 5500 are Grade 2 chassis and sit a tier below.
15) Is the Von Duprin 98EO Buy American Act compliant for a federal job?
Made in the USA and compliant with the Buy American Act, which is what lets it go on government and federally funded work. Paired with the Grade 1 certification, that covers the two boxes most public-sector specs check on exit hardware.
16) What is the difference between a pushpad exit device like the 98EO and a crossbar panic bar?
The 98EO uses a push pad, a flat pad across the rail that you press anywhere along its face. A crossbar device uses a round or square bar that pivots out from the door. Push pads have a lower profile and fewer places to catch a cart or a sleeve; crossbars are what you'll find on a lot of older openings, and matching one keeps a building consistent. If you're replacing a crossbar and want to stay with that style, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 wide stile crossbar rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors and the CRL Jackson 1095 Series is a 48 inch crossbar rim panic device.
17) Is there a fire-rated wide stile rim device I can use if the Von Duprin 98EO isn't available in the size I need?
For a fire-rated rim exit device in the same exit-only configuration, the Marks USA M9900F comes in both 36 inch and 48 inch, the Orca Hardware OED85 is a 36 inch fire-rated rim device, and the Dexter ED1000 Series has a Grade 1 fire-rated rim version. The Arrow FS1250 is a 32 inch fire-rated rim device for 1-3/4 inch doors if the opening is narrower.
18) The opening needs access control or an electrified exit bar - what replaces a mechanical Von Duprin 98EO?
The 98EO is a mechanical exit only device with a 3/4 inch throw deadlatching latchbolt and hex key dogging on the non-fire-rated version. For an electrified opening, the SDC S6136 Spectra S6000 Series is a 36 inch electrified architectural rim exit device with a 4 inch wide stile, covering 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch door thickness. The SDC SureExit PSB560 is a 36 inch pressure sense bar with tri-failsafe technology and fits narrow or wide stile. The SDC MSB550 is a 36 inch mechanical switch bar with electromagnetic lock release, also narrow or wide stile. The Securitron EMB is an electromechanical exit bar for 2-1/4 inch doors, a thicker door than the 98EO is designed for.
19) Is there a lighter duty or Grade 2 rim exit device to use where the Von Duprin 98EO is more device than the opening needs?
The 98EO is a Grade 1 device built for high-traffic commercial openings. Where a lower duty rating is acceptable, the Cal-Royal 5000 is a 36 inch wide rim exit device with a touch bar on a Grade 2 chassis, and the Cal-Royal 5500 is a 48 inch wide rim device with a push bar, also Grade 2. Both are non-fire-rated. The Design Hardware 2000R is a 33 inch standard duty wide stile rim device with hex key dogging, the same dogging method the non-fire-rated 98-EO uses, and the Hager 4701 Series is a 36 inch standard duty rim device carrying Grade 1 BHMA certification.
20) The specification calls for a crossbar rather than a pushpad - what takes the place of the Von Duprin 98EO?
The 98EO uses a push pad actuator. Where a crossbar is specified, the Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 48 inch crossbar rim exit device for 1-3/4 inch doors, non-fire-rated, wide stile. The CRL Jackson 1095 Series is a 48 inch crossbar rim panic exit device, wide stile and exit only. The Sargent 3828 is a Grade 1 reversible standard push bar rim device for 48 inch doors, wide stile and exit only. All three cover the wider opening that the 98EO addresses with its 4'0 length.
21) What non-handed wide stile rim exit devices can replace the Von Duprin 98EO on a school or hospital exit door?
The 98EO is non-handed, so it installs on either hand of door. Comparable non-handed wide stile rim devices include the CRL Jackson 1295 Series, a non-handed push pad rim panic device for 1-3/4 inch doors, wide stile and exit only. The BEST Precision 5101 Series is a rim exit device with a non-handed universal design. The BEST 2401 Series is exit only and non-handed but uses a narrow stile chassis rather than the wide stile of the 98EO. Non-handed devices reduce what has to be stocked when standardizing across a building with doors swinging both ways.
22) What is the difference between the Von Duprin 98EO and the Detex Advantex 10 Series for a heavy traffic exit?
Both are wide stile rim exit devices rated Grade 1. The Detex 10 Advantex is a 36 inch device carried at an extra heavy duty level and is non-fire-rated. The Von Duprin 98EO comes in 36 inch and 48 inch lengths and is offered in both non-fire-rated and UL Listed 3-hour fire-rated versions for A or B label doors, so it covers a fire door where the Detex 10 does not. The Detex 40 Advantex is the narrow stile counterpart at extra heavy duty, Grade 1, for openings with a narrow stile.
23) Which rim exit devices match the Von Duprin 98EO for a 36 inch door and which for a 48 inch door?
The 98EO covers both sizes: the 3'0 length fits 2'4 inch to 3'0 inch doors and the 4'0 length fits 3'1 inch to 4'0 inch doors. At the 36 inch size, the Corbin Russwin ED2200 is a Grade 1 wide stile rim device in exit only function, the TownSteel ED1100 is a Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile panic rim device, the BEST Precision 2101 is a 36 inch wide stile rim device, and the Dexter ED1000 is available as a 3FT Grade 1 rim device. At the 48 inch size, the Dexter ED1000 is offered in a 4FT Grade 1 version, the Dormakaba 9300 Series is a 48 inch Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile panic rim device covering 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch doors, and the Cal-Royal A9820 is a 48 inch rim exit device in exit only function.
24) What Grade 1 wide stile rim device works on a door thicker than the 1-3/4 inch the Von Duprin 98EO is built for?
The 98EO is designed for 1-3/4 inch thick doors, though its fasteners are included for wood or metal doors 1-3/4 inch and 2-1/4 inch thick. Where the device itself needs a wider thickness range, the Dormakaba 9300 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile panic rim device covering 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch, in a 48 inch exit only size. The Adams Rite 8800 Series also covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch as a Grade 1 device, but on a narrow stile chassis. The SDC S6136 covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch on a 4 inch wide stile.
25) Which alternatives to the Von Duprin 98EO also offer hex key dogging?
The 98EO carries hex key dogging as standard on its non-fire-rated devices. Among comparable rim devices, the Design Hardware 1000R is a 33 inch heavy duty rim device with hex key dogging and the Design Hardware 2000R is the 33 inch standard duty version, also with hex key dogging. The Stanley Security QED200 Series is a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow stile rim device with hex key dogging, and the Dormakaba QED200 is the same series in a Grade 1 heavy duty narrow device. Dogging is a non-fire-rated feature, so a fire door will not use it on any of these.
26) Is there a wide stile rim device that comes with night latch trim instead of the exit only Von Duprin 98EO?
The 98EO is an exit only device, meaning there is no outside trim and no key access from the pull side. Where outside key access is needed, the Detex V4003A/03AN Series is a Grade 1 wide stile rim exit device supplied with night latch trim. The Sargent 8504 is a night latch function rim device on a narrow stile chassis. The Corbin Russwin ED5200 is wide stile, Grade 1, and accepts trim, so it can be configured for outside access rather than exit only.
27) What finish should I order to match the other exit devices in my building?
Eleven finishes are offered: 606 Satin Brass, 612 Satin Bronze, 613 Oil Rubbed Bronze, 619 Satin Nickel, 625 Bright Chrome, 626 Satin Chrome, 628 Aluminum, 630 Satin Stainless Steel, 643E Aged Bronze, 710 Dark Bronze Anodized, and 711 Flat Black. 626 Satin Chrome and 630 Satin Stainless are the two you'll find on most existing commercial installs, so if you're matching an older fleet of doors start there. A US26D-AM satin chrome antimicrobial version is also made for healthcare and other high-touch openings.
