Von Duprin 990NL-R/V 26D – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Von Duprin 990NL night latch used for?
The 990NL night latch provides nighttime security for Von Duprin 98/99 series exit devices. It prevents outside access while maintaining interior egress capability. The night latch locks the outside lever or thumb piece to secure the door after hours.
2) Which Von Duprin exit devices is the 990NL compatible with?
The 990NL night latch is designed specifically for Von Duprin 98 and 99 series exit devices. It works with both 98 rim devices and 99 mortise devices. Verify your exit device series before ordering to ensure proper compatibility.
3) Does the 990NL night latch affect door handing?
The 990NL is field reversible for right hand or left hand doors. The night latch can be configured during installation to match your specific door handing. No separate left or right hand models are required.
4) What finishes are available for the 990NL night latch?
The 990NL typically comes in standard Von Duprin finishes including 613 oil rubbed bronze, 626 satin chrome, and 628 satin aluminum. Verify finish availability with your specific exit device finish for proper matching.
5) Does the 990NL night latch require power or special wiring?
The 990NL is a mechanical night latch that requires no electrical power or wiring. It operates through manual key control from the outside and thumb turn operation from the inside. This makes installation simpler with no electrical connections needed.
6) Are there building code considerations for the 990NL night latch?
Night latches must comply with egress requirements in your local building code. The 990NL maintains single motion egress from the inside while providing security from outside. Verify code compliance for your specific application and occupancy type.
7) What components are included with the 990NL night latch?
The 990NL typically includes the night latch mechanism, mounting hardware, and installation instructions. Keys and cylinders may be ordered separately depending on your keying requirements. Check the complete parts list for your specific configuration.
8) How is the 990NL night latch installed on exit devices?
The 990NL mounts to the exit device trim using the provided hardware. Installation requires basic mechanical skills and standard tools. Follow the manufacturer installation template and instructions for proper alignment and operation.
9) How do you maintain and adjust the 990NL night latch?
Regular maintenance includes lubricating the mechanism with appropriate lock lubricant and checking operation. The latch should engage and disengage smoothly with key operation. Adjust mounting if the latch binds or fails to fully engage.
10) What other Von Duprin night latch models are available?
Von Duprin offers various night latch options for different exit device series. The 996L works with other device models. Browse our Von Duprin collection for compatible night latches and exit device accessories.
11) Can the 990NL be used in high traffic applications?
The 990NL is built for commercial grade applications and can handle regular use. For extremely high traffic situations, consider the duty rating of your complete exit device system. Heavy use may require more frequent maintenance and inspection.
