Von Duprin XP98-F/XP99-F-3 Wide Stile Rim Fire Exit Device with Patented Smart Latch

Heavy-Duty Institutional Rim Fire Exit Hardware for Single and Double Doors

The Von Duprin XP98-F/XP99-F-3 is a wide stile, heavy-duty rim fire exit device engineered for demanding institutional environments including schools, hospitals, and government buildings. Certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3 2014 Grade 1 and UL listed for fire exit hardware (ANSI/UL 10C), this 36" device features Von Duprin’s patented 2-piece “smart” latch bolt design that changes shape under external force, enabling the door to withstand attack and remain secure. Designed for single and double doors—including configurations with the 9954-XP mullion—and compatible with wood or metal doors 1-3/4" thick, this device delivers the highest level of security and code compliance for fire-rated openings.

Professional Features & Benefits

• Patented Smart Latch Technology: The XP 2-piece latch bolt design changes shape when subjected to external forces, enabling the exit door to withstand external attack and remain secure. The patented design also provides greater, longer-lasting latch bolt-to-strike contact that resists the twisting motion of a weakened frame.
• Fire-Rated Certification: Certified to ANSI/BHMA A156.3 2014 Grade 1 and UL listed under ANSI/UL 10C for fire exit hardware, as well as ANSI/UL 305, CAN/ULC-S104, and CAN/ULC-S132, ensuring full code compliance for fire-rated openings.
• Wide Stile Heavy-Duty Push Pad Construction: The 98/99 Series features wide stile push pads with a center case measuring 8" x 2-3/4" x 2-3/8" and a latch throw of 3/4", built for high-use and high-abuse institutional applications.
• Door Size & Thickness Compatibility: Sized for 36" doors with a door thickness of 1-3/4" and a product projection of 3-13/16". Fasteners are included for wood or metal doors 1-3/4" and 2-1/4" thick.
• Non-Handed Design: The rim device is non-handed, simplifying specification and installation across a wide range of door configurations (except when the -2 Double Cylinder option is used).
• Field-Selectable Functions: Product function is field selectable among EO (Exit Only), DT (Dummy Trim), and NL (No Lever) configurations. For TP, K, or L functions, simply remove the NL drive screw from the device.
• Broad Device Type & Trim Options: The 98/99 Series supports rim, surface-mounted vertical rod (27), concealed vertical rod (47, 48), concealed vertical cable (49, 52), wood door concealed vertical rod/cable (47WDC, 50WDC), 3-point latching (57), and mortise lock (75) configurations. Popular trim options include the 990 pull trim and 996 lever/knob trim with multiple standard functions.
• Retrofit & Upgrade Ready: Compatible with CDSI/HDSI security dogging indicators, QEL electronic latch retraction, RX (request to exit) and LX (latchbolt monitoring) electronic switches, AX accessible device option (certified to 5 lb. force ADA requirements), and CX CHEXIT delayed egress option meeting NFPA and IBC requirements.
