Von Duprin 99EO283 Rim Grooved Case Exit Device

Product Description

The VON DUPRIN 99EO283 is a rim-mounted grooved case exit device designed for single-door commercial and institutional applications. It features a 628 anodized aluminum finish and is built to meet the demands of high-traffic public buildings where reliable egress hardware is critical. At 36.75 inches in length, it is sized for standard 3-foot door openings. The device operates via a crossbar push mechanism that retracts the latch upon body contact, allowing fast and code-compliant emergency egress. Licensed locksmiths, commercial door hardware installers, and security contractors are the primary trades who specify and install this hardware.

Rim exit devices of this type are commonly installed on single-leaf doors in schools, hospitals, office buildings, retail facilities, and other public occupancies where life-safety egress codes apply. The grooved case profile is typically specified when a cleaner aesthetic is required or when the door frame or door construction calls for a lower-profile device body. This unit ships as a single device and is suited for new installation or direct replacement in commercial door assemblies.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed door hardware technician or locksmith familiar with ANSI/BHMA standards and applicable life-safety codes including IBC and NFPA 101. Confirm door prep, backset, and strike alignment before mounting. All power to any integrated electrified hardware must be disconnected before beginning work.
