Break-Away Protection Design

The 996L-KC features Von Duprin’s proven Breakaway lever design, which is especially effective in areas where vandalism to door hardware is a concern. The breakaway mechanism allows the lever to release under excessive lateral force, minimizing damage to the exit device and reducing the need for costly repairs. This design is available on lever and key capture configurations but is not available on NL (night-latch) or DT (dummy trim) versions.

The heavy-duty 996L-KC is engineered for demanding commercial environments where vandal resistance, code compliance, and long-term investment protection are essential. Von Duprin’s modular 98/99 Series platform ensures that as facility needs evolve, hardware can be upgraded cost-effectively without replacing entire exit device assemblies.

Von Duprin 996L-KC-06-R/V 26D LHR – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What exit devices is the Von Duprin 996L KC trim compatible with?
The 996L KC trim works with Von Duprin 98 and 99 series exit devices. It provides lever operation on both sides with key capture functionality on the outside lever.
2) How does the key capture feature work on this trim?
Key capture prevents key removal when the outside lever is in the unlocked position. The key must be turned to the locked position before it can be removed, ensuring the door returns to secure mode.
3) What door handing options are available for the 996L KC trim?
This trim is field reversible for left-hand or right-hand doors. The cylinder and lever components can be adjusted during installation to match your door handing requirements.
4) What cylinder type does this trim require?
The 996L KC requires a mortise cylinder, typically 1-1/8" diameter. Verify your keying requirements and cylinder length based on door thickness before ordering.
5) Can this trim be used on fire-rated doors?
Yes, when used with UL-listed Von Duprin 98/99 series exit devices on properly rated door assemblies. Verify fire rating requirements and maintain all listed components for code compliance.
6) What door thickness range does the 996L KC accommodate?
Standard trim fits doors from 1-3/4" to 2-1/4" thick. For doors outside this range, verify compatibility with Von Duprin or consider extended cylinder options.
7) Does this trim include the mortise lock body?
No, the 996L KC is trim only. You need a separate Von Duprin mortise lock body that's compatible with 98/99 series exit devices. Order the complete lockset components separately.
8) How do you adjust the lever return spring tension?
Spring tension is typically pre-set at the factory. If adjustment is needed, follow Von Duprin installation instructions carefully. Improper adjustment can affect lever return and lock function.
9) What's the difference between 996L KC and standard 996L trim?
The KC version includes key capture functionality that prevents key removal when unlocked. Standard 996L allows key removal in any position. Choose KC for enhanced security control.
10) Can you retrofit existing 98/99 devices with this trim?
Yes, the 996L KC can replace existing trim on compatible 98/99 series devices. Ensure proper mortise lock preparation and verify all components align correctly during installation.
11) What maintenance does the key capture mechanism require?
Keep the cylinder and capture mechanism clean and lubricated per Von Duprin maintenance guidelines. Check key operation periodically to ensure smooth capture and release function.
