Need Push Bar Help

[Papa Gleb]

Hey gents,

Long story but the landlord of my work office decided to replace the standard push bar and lock with an emergency only alarm type push bar except something didnt work out and they salvaged parts from the old mixed with the new and called it all complete except this doesnt have any alarms. They also said this new lock has a feature which notifies them when the door is open, no need to get into why but is that true or is it a big fat bluff which I think it is. Do these push lever locks come with any such feature/ability? Do they have bluetooth features?

This is a Von Duprin #99 rim device. It is fire rated, as it has no key dogging function. There can be additional letters after the 99 which designate outside trim/options. Example: 99EO- exit only, no outside trim- 99NL-night latch, open with a key always locked- 99TP- thumb piece, key locks/unlocks the pitcher handle thumb piece, etc...I can find no mention in my catalog about Bluetooth, but it could be a very new thing? They can be ordered with a variety of factory switches that can be used to hook up external devices. These numbers should allow you to do a search to find the latest and greatest VD has to offer! Also, the difference between a 99 & 98 is cosmetic, mechanically they are the same. Good luck.

Probably just a upgrade for fire regulations - and fitted a wireless push button device into the unit - bar

sends a signal up to 125 metres - just as a door bell does no wires required can be fitted to many push bar exits unseen

easy mod - childs stuff probably a box in the boss,s office - caretaker - building manager to alert them door as been

opened so they can act quickly to fire or theft -

Love the irony of that picture. Boss upgrades fire exit and tells everyone that interfering with it is an offence, but at the same time is happy to have an obstruction (combustible material to boot) in front of said door.

Get on to the AHJ and send them the picture, we'll see who cops the ticket...........

Probably worth checking it's mounted at the correct height and door activates with correctly in line with requirements of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). More than one way to skin a cat........

My favorite way is to put its head in a boot jack and pull on its tail.

Wonders if Xeo will ban him for that comment
