Heavy-Duty Rim Exit Device for Single and Double Doors

The Von Duprin PAAX99EO is a Grade 1, 99 Series Rim Exit Device engineered for heavy-duty performance across all types of single and double doors. Featuring a grooved mechanism case design, this exit-only, non-keyed device ships field-selectable (EO/DT/NL) and accommodates door widths from 28" to 36" with a 36" device length. The wide stile pushpad and pushbar armor construction deliver reliable, code-compliant egress, while CA Accessible compliance ensures suitability for California accessibility requirements. The non-handed design simplifies installation on metal or wood doors with thickness ranging from 1-3/4" to 2-1/4".

Von Duprin PAAX99EO 3 26D – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will the Von Duprin PAAX99EO rim exit device fit a 1-3/4 inch hollow metal door?
Yes. The PAAX99EO covers door thicknesses from 1-3/4 inches up to 2-1/4 inches, on metal or wood doors, and the screw pack that comes with it is sized for both 1-3/4 inch (44 mm) and 2-1/4 inch (57 mm) doors. So a standard 1-3/4 inch hollow metal opening needs nothing extra to mount it. For thicker doors or a through-bolted install, the 425 SNB sex nut and bolt set is the add-on.
2) What is the minimum stile width for a Von Duprin 99 Series rim exit device on an aluminum or glass front door?
3-5/8 inches. The PAAX99EO uses a wide stile pushpad and needs at least a 3-5/8 inch stile to land the center case, which measures 8 x 2-3/4 x 2-3/8 inches (203 x 70 x 60 mm). Narrow stile storefront doors are usually under that, so on a true narrow stile aluminum door this is the wrong device and you want a narrow stile rim device instead. Measure the stile before ordering, not the door width.
3) What size door does the 36 inch Von Duprin PAAX99EO cover, and what do I order for a 4 foot door?
The 36 inch device covers door widths from 28 to 36 inches, which is the 3 ft door size range (711 mm to 914 mm). For a 4 ft opening, 864 mm to 1219 mm, order the 48 inch device length instead. Both lengths are offered in 626 satin chrome and 313 dark bronze anodized. Size the device to the door leaf width, not to the frame.
4) Is the Von Duprin PAAX99EO fire rated?
No. The PAAX99EO is not a fire rated device, and it has hex key dogging, which fire rated exit devices cannot have mechanically. If the opening is a labeled fire door, this is the wrong part and you need a fire rated exit device with no mechanical dogging. On a non-rated egress door, the dogging is what lets you hold the latch retracted during business hours so the door pushes open freely.
5) Will a rim exit device work on a pair of doors, or do I need vertical rods?
A rim device latches into a strike on the frame or into a mullion, so on a pair of doors the PAAX99EO needs a removable mullion between the leaves, one device per leaf latching into it. Without a mullion there is nothing for the rim latch to catch. If the opening has to stay clear of a mullion, a surface vertical rod device is the alternative because it latches at the head and the sill instead. The 99 Series is built for single and double doors either way, and the device centerline sits at 39-13/16 inches (1011 mm) from finished floor, or 39-11/16 inches (1008 mm) when a mullion is used.
6) Does the Von Duprin PAAX99EO come with a cylinder or outside trim?
Neither. It ships exit only and non-keyed, with no cylinder and no trim, so from the outside the door has no way to be opened until you add trim. Order the outside trim and, if the function needs a key, the cylinder separately. What it does include is the screw pack for 1-3/4 and 2-1/4 inch doors.
7) Will the 3/4 inch latch on a Von Duprin 99 rim device catch my existing strike?
The PAAX99EO uses a deadlocking latch bolt with a 3/4 inch (19 mm) throw. If the existing opening already runs a rim exit device with a standard rim strike at that throw, the latch will engage it. Replacing anything else, a mortise lock or a cylindrical latch, means the old strike prep does not apply and a rim strike has to go on the frame at the device centerline of 39-13/16 inches (1011 mm) from finished floor. The deadlocking feature is what stops the latch being carded from outside.
8) Can I change the Von Duprin PAAX99EO from exit only to night latch in the field?
Yes. The device ships field-selectable between EO, DT and NL, so a single stock part covers exit only, dummy trim and night latch. For TP, K or L functions you pull the NL drive screw out of the device. That means a property manager can stock one device across several openings and set the function at install rather than ordering a different part per door. The outside trim still has to match the function you choose, and it is not included.
9) Do I have to specify handing when ordering a Von Duprin 99 Series rim exit device?
Not for the standard device. The PAAX99EO is non-handed, so one part works on a left or right hand opening. Handing only comes into play if you add SD special dogging, the -2 double cylinder option, or SS signal switch. Note it is listed as non-reversible, so the device is not field-flipped, it simply does not care which way the door swings as built.
10) How far does the Von Duprin PAAX99EO pushbar stick out into the corridor?
Pushbar projection is 3-13/16 inches (97 mm) at neutral and 3-1/16 inches (78 mm) depressed. That is the number to check against corridor width, an opposing wall, or anything mounted near the door, since the bar is at its deepest when nobody is pushing it. The mechanism case itself is 2-1/4 x 2-1/4 inches (57 x 57 mm).
11) Does the Von Duprin PAAX99EO meet California accessibility requirements?
The PAAX99EO is built to CA Accessible compliance and carries the accessible mechanical option, which is why it uses the wide stile pushpad rather than a touchpad with a smaller strike area. For California work where the accessibility scope is called out on the drawings, that is the reason to pick this variant of the 99 Series over one without it.
12) Is the Von Duprin 99 Series exit device Grade 1, and is it heavy enough for a school or hospital exit?
Grade 1, yes. The 99 Series is built to Grade 1 commercial standards with a grooved mechanism case, which is the level specified for high traffic exits in schools, hospitals, offices, retail and government buildings. Grade 1 is the top of the three ANSI/BHMA durability tiers, so for a heavily used egress door it is what an institutional spec normally calls for. Just confirm the opening is not a labeled fire door, because this configuration is not fire rated.
13) What finishes does the Von Duprin PAAX99EO rim exit device come in?
Two: 626 satin chrome and 313 dark bronze anodized, and both are offered in the 36 inch and 48 inch device lengths. 626 is the usual match for existing commercial door hardware in a building already running satin chrome levers and closers; 313 is the darker anodized option that lines up with bronze storefront and dark anodized frames.
