Product Description
QEL-98L-US26-3-LHR Von Duprin 98 Series with 996L Lever Left Handed Rim Exit Device with Quiet Electric Latch in Bright Chrome
The QEL-98L-US26-3-LHR is a Von Duprin 98 Series rim exit device in Bright Chrome (US26/625), sized for 3' doors. Classroom Function — outside lever is locked until unlocked by key, relocks automatically when door closes. Ships less cylinder — order a mortise cylinder separately to match your existing keyway.
Quiet Electric Latch Retraction — QEL motor-driven latch retraction provides quiet, ADA-compliant remote unlocking. 24VDC power required.
ANSI/BHMA A156.3 Grade 1 certified. Hex key dogging standard. Factory set LHR, field reversible.
Pro-Tip from Our Locksmiths: Hex key dogging is standard on non-fire-rated 98 rim devices. That means you can hold the latch retracted during business hours so the door operates as a push/pull. Fire-rated models delete dogging per UL code — if the customer needs doors to stay open on a fire-rated opening, budget for mag holders tied to the fire alarm.
