Professional Features & Benefits
- 48" Wide Stile Coverage: Designed for 4 ft (48") door applications with wide stile push pad construction, providing reliable egress across a broad door width for high-traffic commercial and institutional use.
- Grooved Mechanism Case: The 99 Series features a distinctive grooved mechanism case design with a center case dimension of 8" x 2-3/4" x 2-3/8", differentiating it architecturally from the smooth-case 98 Series while sharing the same heavy-duty platform.
