Von Duprin 971585 Mounting Stud 994 996 Exit Device

Product Description

The VON DUPRIN 971585 is a replacement mounting stud designed for use with the 994 and 996 series exit devices. Mounting studs are small but critical hardware components that secure exit device assemblies to door surfaces, ensuring the device remains firmly anchored under repeated push-bar activation. At 2 inches in length and 0.3 inches in width and height, this stud is a direct drop-in repair part for technicians servicing door hardware in commercial and institutional applications. Sold individually, it is the correct choice when an existing stud has stripped, sheared, or gone missing during a service call.

This part is intended for licensed door hardware technicians and locksmiths servicing commercial exit device installations. The 994 and 996 series exit devices are commonly found in public buildings, schools, offices, and institutional facilities where code-compliant egress hardware is required. When a mounting stud fails, the exit device can become loose or misaligned, creating both a security and a life-safety concern. Replacing the stud restores proper device function without requiring a full exit device replacement.

Installation Notes

Remove all tension from the exit device and, where applicable, disconnect any electrified hardware before beginning stud replacement. Follow the door hardware manufacturer's service instructions and verify that the replacement stud is fully seated and torqued per the device's assembly requirements. Installations in life-safety egress paths should comply with applicable local building codes and NFPA 80 guidelines.
