Von Duprin and Office Security

Deciding the right brand for your door hardware needs is as difficult as finding a needle in the haystack. There are lots of brands in the market and they all seem the same. For example, you need to have a panic bar. Which brand should you prefer? Most of us barely have the answer.

There's one name that surpasses the rest though in my books: Von Duprin.

In response to a need for protecting life safety while providing security, Von Duprin introduced the first panic release bar in 1908. It was also the same year that the company started and the purpose it had for panic release bar is still a purpose that still guides the firm today.

Here's a story to better capture the essence of the company. This is being shared by Von Duprin employees and patrons alike. In 1903, Indianapolis hardware salesman Carl Prinzler missed a scheduled visit to Chicago's Iroquois Theatre, thus escaping a disaster in which 594 people perished when the "fireproof" theater burned. Haunted with the needless loss of lives, Mr. Prinzler was determined to solve the problem of public buildings that often turned into death traps when doors were locked to keep gate crashers out. Mr. Prinzler teamed up with his neighbor, Henry DuPont, an architectural engineer, who invented the first working device. The initial model, introduced in 1908, was marketed by Vonnegut Hardware Company under the name Von Duprin, a contraction of Vonnegut, DuPont and Prinzler.

See, even then, Von Duprin has proven its expertise and reliability to meet every customer's satisfaction. The popular 88 Series crossbar exit devices still manufactured by Von Duprin have similar appearance characteristics to the original design, although significant engineering changes have been made.

Today, Von Duprin manufactures the widest range of exit devices and outside trim operations, including rim-type and mortise lock, surface and concealed vertical rod, fire-rated and several electrical options. Security-related products include a full line of electromagnetic locks, electric strikes, card readers, and keypad-type access control systems.

So where do we locate the complete supply of Von Duprin?

Von Duprin has answers for all your door hardware needs. In order to furnish you with a good view of how dependable and accessible its products are, let's examine one banner product of Von Duprin.

Von Duprin 98 Panic Bar sold in the market at a regular price of $506 only.

Featuring The Quiet One, the 98 Series from Von Duprin also has a smooth mechanism case. The Quiet One is a fluid damper that slows the push pad on its return stroke, eliminating the noise associated with panic bar operation.

The 98 Series Von Duprin panic bar is a best-selling option for standard flush or panel doors, as well as single or double doors with or without a mullion. They are also UL Listed for accident hazard installations with some models UL Listed for A, B, C, D & E fire labeled installations. The 98 Series hardware meets ANSI A156.3 - Grade 1 - 1984 standards and is available in a variety of architectural finishes. They are also equipped with a fluid dampener which decelerates the push pad on its return stroke.
