Von Duprin 98EO283 Rim Exit Device Smooth Case 628 Aluminum

Product Description

The VON DUPRIN 98EO283 is a rim-style exit device designed for single-door commercial and institutional applications. It features a smooth case profile that sits flush along the door face, reducing snagging hazards in high-traffic corridors. The 628 anodized aluminum finish provides corrosion resistance suited to interior and covered exterior openings. At 36.6 inches in length, this unit fits standard 3-foot door widths. The device operates by depressing the crossbar, retracting the rim latch and allowing egress without a key or lever. It is installed by licensed door hardware technicians and security contractors in facilities requiring code-compliant emergency egress hardware.

This exit device is intended for commercial, institutional, and public-assembly buildings such as schools, offices, hospitals, and government facilities. Rim exit devices mount directly to the face of the door stile and connect to a rim strike on the frame, making them well-suited for hollow metal and wood door assemblies where mortise or concealed hardware is not required. The smooth case design is particularly appropriate in environments where a clean, uncluttered door appearance is specified or where occupant injury from exposed components is a concern.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified door hardware technician or licensed locksmith familiar with ANSI and IBC egress requirements. Disengage all electrical power to any electrified hardware and verify the door is secured before beginning work. Confirm frame and door prep dimensions match the device specifications before fastening. Do not modify the case or latch components, as alterations may void code compliance.
