Von Duprin VON-99-F-3ft-628 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Do I have to specify a hand when I order a Von Duprin 99-F rim device?
The 99-F rim device is non-handed as standard, so you do not hand the device itself. Two things change that: ordering it with -2 (double cylinder) or with SS (signal switch) makes it handed. Handing also shows up in the trim: the night latch and lever trims are ordered LHR or RHR (990NL, 996L, 996L-BE, 996L-NL), while thumbpiece and knob trims are not.
2) Will a Von Duprin 99-F latch into the strike I already have on the frame?
The 99-F throws a 3/4 inch latchbolt into a surface-mounted rim strike on the frame stop, which is the standard rim device arrangement. Measure the throw and the depth of your existing strike pocket: if the strike on the frame is a Von Duprin rim strike from a previous 98/99 or another rim device with the same 3/4 inch throw, it will pick up. Anything set up for a mortise lock or a vertical rod top latch will not, because a rim device latches horizontally at the lock stile.
3) Should I use a rim exit device or a vertical rod device on my pair of doors?
A rim device like the 99-F latches horizontally into a strike, so on a pair of doors it needs something to latch into: a removable mullion between the leaves. If you cannot use a mullion (equipment has to roll through the full opening), go to a vertical rod device instead. The same 98/99 family covers that: 27 is surface-mounted vertical rod, 47 and 48 are concealed vertical rod (5/8 inch and 1-1/2 inch bottom bolt), 49 is concealed vertical cable, 57 is 3-point latching, and 75 is the mortise lock device. Add the -F suffix on any of them for the fire-rated version.
4) Is the Von Duprin 99-F fire rated and Grade 1?
Fire rated, and certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3 2014 Grade 1. The listed certifications are ANSI/UL 10C (fire-rated only), ANSI/UL 305, CAN/ULC-S104 (fire-rated only) and CAN/ULC-S132. That combination is what lets it go on a labeled fire door in a school, hospital or government corridor. One consequence to plan for: fire exit hardware cannot be dogged down, so if you want a bar you can hold retracted during business hours, you need the non-fire 99 rather than the 99-F.
5) What outside trim do I need to order with a Von Duprin 99-F, and how do I get a classroom or storeroom function?
Trim is a required choice on the 99-F. The device ships EO/DT/NL field selectable, and for TP, K or L trim you remove the NL drive screw from the device. Pull trim is the 990 family: 99EO exit only, 99NL storeroom, 99TP classroom, 99TP-BE passage, 99DT dummy. Lever or knob trim is the 996 family: L or K for classroom, L-NL or K-NL for storeroom, L-BE or K-BE for passage, L-DT or K-DT for dummy. On lever trim you also pick the lever design: 06 (default), 03, 07, 17, or LAT Latitude.
6) Which rim exit device is a better fit than a Von Duprin 99-F for a door thicker than 1-3/4 inch?
The 99-F is specified for a 1-3/4 inch door thickness, though its fasteners are included for wood or metal doors 1-3/4 inch and 2-1/4 inch thick. For a device whose own thickness range runs wider, the Dormakaba DORMA 9300 Series covers 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch and the Adams Rite 8800 Series covers the same 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch range, both Grade 1. The SDC S6136 Spectra covers 1-3/4 inch to 2 inch on a 4 inch wide stile. None of those three carry a fire rating, so a thick labeled door is a different conversation from a thick unlabeled one.
7) What fire rated rim exit device fits a narrow stile aluminum door where a Von Duprin 99-F will not?
The Adams Rite 3700 Series is a fire rated narrow stile rim exit device with starwheel interlocking, offered in a 30 inch length, and it is Grade 1. The 99-F is a wide stile device, so on an aluminum stile too narrow to carry a wide stile case the 3700 is the fire rated path. The Arrow FS1250 is another fire rated option, a 32 inch rim device for doors 1-3/4 inch thick, matching the 1-3/4 inch door thickness the 99-F is built for.
8) What is the closest fire-rated wide stile rim exit device to the Von Duprin 99-F if a different brand is specified?
The Sargent 8800 Series 12-8810-LTRIM is the closest wide stile match: it is a fire rated wide stile rim exit device carrying a Grade 1 certification, same as the 99-F, which is Grade 1 with a fire rating and wide stile construction. The Sargent comes as a lever trim configuration with RX and MELR, so the electrified request-to-exit and motorized latch retraction are part of that build rather than field-selected. The 99-F is field selectable for EO, DT and NL trim function, so if the opening needs the trim decided at install rather than at order, the Von Duprin covers more ground in a single part.
9) Which 36-inch fire rated rim exit devices work as a simpler exit-only alternative to a Von Duprin 99-F?
Two 36-inch fire rated rim devices are built exit only rather than trim configurable. The Marks USA M9900F is a fire rated 36 inch rim exit device, exit only, with a panic protector end cap, and the Orca Hardware OED85 is a 36 inch fire rated rim exit device, also exit only. Both hold the fire rating the 99-F carries and match its 36 inch size, but neither takes the outside trim range the 99-F does, so they suit an opening where nothing on the pull side needs a key, knob or lever. On a door that later needs classroom or storeroom control from outside, the 99-F is the one that accepts it.
10) What looks like a substitute for a Von Duprin 99-F rim exit device but is not?
Two categories to watch. Concealed vertical rod devices such as the Hager 4501 Series, a 36 inch Grade 1 concealed vertical rod device with a wide stile pushpad, mount and latch differently from a rim device even though the pushpad looks the same. And electrified bars such as the SDC SureExit PSB560, a 36 inch pressure sense bar, and the SDC MSB550, a 36 inch mechanical switch bar that releases an electromagnetic lock, are switch bars rather than latching rim devices, so they depend on separate locking hardware. The 99-F is a rim exit device with a 3/4 inch latch throw doing the latching itself.
11) Which rim exit device covers a 48-inch door opening when the Von Duprin 99-F 3-foot device is too short?
The 99-F 3-foot device is a 36 inch size, so a wider leaf needs a longer bar. For a labeled opening, the Marks USA M9900F is offered in a 48 inch fire rated rim panic exit device, exit only with a panic protector end cap, which keeps the fire rating. On an unlabeled 48 inch door, the Dormakaba DORMA 9300 Series is a 48 inch Grade 1 heavy duty wide stile panic rim device for doors 1-3/4 inch to 2-1/4 inch thick, and the Sargent 2828 is a Grade 1 reversible wide stile rim device for a 48 inch minimum door width.
12) How does a classroom function differ from storeroom on a 98/99 exit device?
On classroom trim the key locks and unlocks the lever or knob, so the outside stays free until someone keys it locked. On storeroom the key retracts the latchbolt and the lever or knob stays rigid, so the outside is always locked and only a key gets you in. Passage means the lever or knob is always active, dummy is rigid trim for pulling only, and exit only has no outside trim at all. Egress from the inside is by the push pad in every case.
13) Can I get electric latch retraction or a request-to-exit switch on a Von Duprin 99-F?
Both are order options on the 99-F. Latch retraction comes as EL (electric), QEL (quiet electric) or PN (pneumatic). Switches include RX request to exit, LX latchbolt monitor, LX-RX combined, WP-RX waterproof, RX-LC low current, RX-2 double RX, SS signal switch, and the alarm kits ALK, RX-ALK and LXRX-ALK. Remember SS makes the device handed. QEL, RX and LX are also available as retrofit kits on devices already installed, and CDSI/HDSI dogging indicators can be added for at-a-glance status.
14) What size door does the 3-foot Von Duprin 99-F cover, and what if my door is wider?
The 3-foot 99-F is a 36 inch device, sized for a nominal 3-0 leaf. For a 4-foot leaf you order the 4-foot version of the same 99-F rather than stretching this one. If you are working a wider opening in another line, the comparable set includes 48 inch rim devices such as the Marks USA M9900F fire rated 48 inch and the Corbin Russwin ED3200 at 48 inches.
15) How much does a Von Duprin 99-F stick out from the door, and will it clear a wall or a door in the adjacent opening?
Projection is 3-13/16 inches off the door face, and the mechanism case measures 8 x 2-3/4 x 2-3/8 inches. That is the number to check against a return wall, a corner, or hardware on a facing leaf when the door swings open. On a vestibule or a tight alcove, measure the swing arc plus 3-13/16 inches before committing.
16) I need the exit hardware to meet ADA opening force. What do I order?
Order the 99-F with the AX option. AX is the accessible device certified to meet the 5 lb force requirements of the 2010 ADA (Chapters 404.2.7 and 30934) and the 2013 California Building Code (Chapter 11B-309.4). It is an upgrade taken at the time you order a new device, not a field retrofit onto an existing one.
17) Can I upgrade an existing Von Duprin 98/99 device instead of replacing the whole thing?
For devices already installed, the 98/99 line has retrofit kits: CDSI/HDSI security dogging indicators for at-a-glance status of the panic device, QEL for quiet electronic latch retraction, and electronic switches including RX request to exit and LX latchbolt monitoring for tying the door into access control. Options that change the device itself, AX accessible, CX CHEXIT delayed egress and the XP 2-piece latchbolt, come with a new device rather than as a kit.
18) What is the difference between a Von Duprin 99-F and a Falcon 19-R rim exit device?
The Falcon 19-R is a Grade 1 rim exit device in a 36 inch narrow stile build, exit only, for 1-3/4 inch doors. The 99-F is Grade 1 as well and also fits 1-3/4 inch doors, but it is wide stile with a 3-13/16 inch projection and a center case measuring 8 by 2-3/4 by 2-3/8 inches, and it is non-handed. The Falcon Monarch 18 Series is another Grade 1 Falcon rim device at 36 inches. Where the stile is wide enough and the door is labeled, the 99-F fire rating separates it; where the stile is narrow, the 19-R is the one that lands on the door.
19) What is the difference between a Von Duprin 99-F and a Cal-Royal A9800 for a school corridor door?
The 99-F is a Grade 1 fire rated wide stile push pad device, 36 inches, built for high use in institutional settings like schools, hospitals and government facilities. The Cal-Royal A9800 is a 36 inch heavy duty rim exit device, exit only, listed at Grade 2 and not fire rated. On a labeled corridor opening or one where the spec calls Grade 1, the A9800 does not stand in for the 99-F. On an unlabeled door with no grade requirement, the A9800 covers the exit-only function.
20) Is a crossbar rim exit device an equivalent substitute for a Von Duprin 99-F?
It is a different operator, not a drop-in. The 99-F is a wide stile push pad device with a grooved mechanism case. The Corbin Russwin ED3200 is a Grade 1 wide stile crossbar rim exit device for 1-3/4 inch doors, and the CRL Jackson 1095 Series is a 48 inch crossbar rim panic device, wide stile, exit only. Crossbar devices project differently across the door face and read differently to a user reaching for them, so on a fleet standardized on push pads, a crossbar changes the look and the touch on that one opening. The Corbin Russwin ED2200 is a 36 inch Grade 1 wide stile rim device that stays closer to the 99-F footprint at the same size.
21) Which non-fire-rated wide stile rim device matches the Von Duprin 99-F build on an unlabeled 36-inch opening?
Several Grade 1 wide stile 36 inch rim devices cover an unlabeled opening. The Detex 10 Advantex is a 36 inch wide stile extra heavy duty Grade 1 rim exit device, the TownSteel ED1100 is a 36 inch heavy duty Grade 1 wide stile panic rim device, and the BEST Precision 2101 is a 36 inch wide stile rim exit device. None carry a fire rating, so they belong on openings where the 99-F fire rating is not the reason it was specified. The 99-F itself is Grade 1 and fire rated, so on a labeled door the fire rating is the deciding spec.
22) Is there a night latch rim exit device to use instead of configuring a Von Duprin 99-F with NL trim?
Yes. The Sargent 8504 is a narrow stile rim exit device built in the night latch function, Grade 1, so the key-outside pull comes as the device function rather than a trim selection. The Detex V4003A/03AN is a Grade 1 wide stile rim exit device with night latch trim. The 99-F reaches night latch through its field selectable EO/DT/NL function, which means one device serves whichever of the three the opening turns out to need.
23) If a Von Duprin 99-F is being ordered with electric latch retraction, what other rim devices come electrified?
The 99-F reaches electric latch retraction through EL or QEL and switching through RX or LX options added to the device. Devices that arrive electrified include the Dormakaba E2103 with 4908A trim, a 36 inch electrified rim exit device in the classroom function, and the Sargent 12-8810-LTRIM, a fire rated Grade 1 wide stile rim device with RX and MELR. The Securitron EMB is an electromechanical exit bar for 2-1/4 inch doors, a different animal from a latching rim device. Of that group, the Sargent is the one that also carries a fire rating like the 99-F.
24) Can I get delayed egress on a Von Duprin 99 device?
Yes, with the CX CHEXIT option. CHEXIT meets NFPA and IBC requirements for delayed egress: the door stays secure for 15 seconds after a request to exit while a nuisance alarm sounds. Like AX, CX is specified when upgrading to a new device rather than kitted onto one already hanging.
25) What finishes does the Von Duprin 99-F grooved case rim device come in?
Twelve finishes: 605 bright brass, 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. For matching a building already fitted out with 98/99 hardware, 626 and 630 are the usual commercial choices, and 628 aluminum matches storefront.
