Von Duprin Exit Devices and Where You’ll Find Them
Von Duprin is best known for commercial exit devices, often called panic bars or push bars. These devices let people open an exit door by pressing a bar or touchpad, while the door’s latch keeps it closed from the other side.
You’ll commonly see Von Duprin hardware on commercial and institutional doors, including entrances and exit routes. The brand makes devices in several configurations, so the right repair or replacement depends on the door, frame, latch, and hardware already installed—not just the name on the bar.
We inspect the device and surrounding door hardware before recommending locksmith work. That helps distinguish a problem with the exit device from one caused by a misaligned door, strike, or other part of the opening.
Von Duprin Product Lines You May Encounter
98/99 Series
A widely used exit-device family available in different configurations. The device style and door setup determine which service or replacement options fit.
33A/35A Series
These devices are commonly used where a narrower profile is needed, such as on narrow-stile doors. Door width and existing hardware matter when checking a match.
22 Series
This is another Von Duprin exit-device family. We identify the installed configuration and inspect the latch and door before planning repair or replacement.
Electrified Exit Devices
Some Von Duprin devices can work with access-control hardware. The available function depends on the specific device and door system, so we check the existing setup before discussing installation or service.

Von Duprin Locksmith Service for Exit Devices
- Repair an exit device — We inspect the bar or touchpad, latch action, and door alignment to locate the cause of sticking or unreliable latching.
- Rekey compatible cylinders — When the installed cylinder and device configuration support it, rekeying can change which key operates the lock without replacing the full exit device. See our lock rekeying service.
- Replace worn or damaged hardware — We check the device, latch, and condition of the door opening to determine whether a component or the full device needs replacement.
- Install Von Duprin hardware — We assess the door and frame, including the existing preparation and strike area, before installing an exit device that suits the opening.
- Address key and lock problems — We examine the key and compatible cylinder when a key sticks or will not turn, rather than assuming the exit bar itself is the cause.
- Check access-control connections — For electrified hardware, we inspect how the exit device fits into the existing access-control setup before carrying out related locksmith work.
Repair, Rekey or Replace a Von Duprin Device
Repair when the device can still function correctly
A sticking bar, inconsistent latch, or loose-feeling operation may come from a repairable device issue or from door alignment. We inspect both before deciding what needs attention.
Rekey when the cylinder is compatible
Rekeying may suit you when the exit device works but you need to change which key operates its cylinder. Not every Von Duprin device has the same keyed configuration, so we check the installed hardware first.
Replace when the hardware or fit calls for it
Replacement may make more sense when the device is damaged or the existing hardware does not suit the door. We check the device type, door preparation, frame, and latch area before selecting a replacement.

Frequently asked questions
Should I repair or replace my Von Duprin exit device in San Luis Obispo?
A device that sticks or fails to latch needs an inspection of both the hardware and the door alignment. We check whether the problem is limited to a repairable part or whether damage or the door’s existing fit calls for replacement.
Can you rekey a Von Duprin lock without replacing the exit device?
Often, rekeying is possible when the installed device has a compatible keyed cylinder. We identify the cylinder and device configuration first, since not every exit device is set up the same way.
Can several doors with Von Duprin hardware use one key?
That depends on the cylinders and keyed functions installed on the doors. We can inspect the existing hardware and determine whether rekeying or a master key system fits the setup.
Why does my key stick or refuse to turn in Von Duprin hardware?
The cause may be in the key or cylinder, or pressure on the latch from a poorly aligned door may affect operation. We inspect the cylinder and door movement to pinpoint where the resistance starts.
Can Von Duprin hardware be installed on my existing door?
It may fit, but the door’s preparation, frame, dimensions, and existing strike area affect the installation. We inspect the opening and hardware before deciding which device configuration is suitable.
