Key Considerations When Choosing Von Duprin Hardware

• Exit Device Type: Determine whether the opening needs a rim, mortise, surface vertical rod, or concealed vertical rod exit device.
• Fire Rating: If the opening is fire-rated, select hardware designed for the appropriate fire-rated application and verify product details before ordering.
• Door Width & Height: Confirm the device size and configuration match the door dimensions and opening requirements.
• Single Door vs. Pair of Doors: Pairs of doors may require vertical rod devices, mullions, or additional components depending on the opening.
• Trim Function: Choose trim based on how the door should be accessed from the outside, such as lever trim, night latch trim, or blank escutcheon trim.
• Handing & Door Swing: Some trim and device configurations may require proper handing, so confirm left-hand, right-hand, reverse, or non-handed requirements.
• Finish Coordination: Select a finish that coordinates with surrounding hardware, including commercial door levers, closers, hinges, and locks.
• Code & Life Safety Requirements: Commercial exit hardware should be selected with applicable building, accessibility, and life safety requirements in mind.
