Von Duprin: products and EPD coverage
Von Duprin is synonymous with panic hardware. If your doors see crowds, abuse or both, their exit devices are probably on your shortlist. Here’s how their catalog stacks up, and how well those products are covered by Environmental Product Declarations so specifiers can keep projects moving without carbon-accounting friction.
Who Von Duprin is
Von Duprin sits inside Allegion’s openings portfolio and focuses on high‑performance door hardware for demanding facilities like K‑12, higher ed, healthcare, arenas and government. The brand story is simple to remember and hard to beat in specs: durable exit devices with deep electrified options.
What they sell
The site groups offerings into five practical buckets: exit devices, exit trims, electric strikes, options and accessories, and power supplies. Within those buckets live wide‑stile and narrow‑stile devices, delayed egress packages, quiet electric latch retraction, concealed vertical cable options, mullions, monitoring switches, and more (vonduprin.com).
How broad the line is
Expect dozens of base models and hundreds of orderable configurations once finishes, functions, lengths, rods, electrified kits and trims are considered. That breadth matters when carbon‑reporting rules show up on a spec because every un‑covered accessory can become a paperwork speed bump.
EPD footprint today
We find current, third‑party‑verified EPDs for flagship Von Duprin families like the 22 Series and the 98/99 Series, plus electrified trim on representative models. Sister Allegion brands also carry validated EPDs for complementary hardware like heavy‑duty closers, hinges and locks. In practice, this gives project teams a credible core set for door openings that need product‑specific declarations.

The notable coverage gaps
As of December 25, 2025, public EPDs are harder to locate for several still‑common pieces in a Von Duprin opening, including 33A/35A narrow‑stile variants, electric strikes, mullions, CHEXIT modules and the PS9xx power supply line. If your project team aims for clean submittals under evolving owner policies or LEED v5 pilot language that favors product‑specific EPDs, these gaps can trigger back‑and‑forth or substitutions.
A likely money miss to fix first
Mullions are a classic example. They ride along with many rim exit pairs, yet we do not see a public Von Duprin mullion EPD right now. Competitors publish EPDs specifically for mullions, which means a spec can stay intact without extra justification when a buyer requests declarations across the whole opening. Leave that blank and you risk becoming the “easy swap.” It’s a small part that can cost a big win.
Main competitors at the door
Von Duprin most often runs into ASSA ABLOY brands on the same schedules, including SARGENT, Corbin Russwin, Yale, Adams Rite, Norton and Rockwood. dormakaba families like Precision and BEST also appear, along with Hager in some packages. In education and healthcare, these lineups are frequently interchangeable by function, which puts documentation readiness on equal footing with performance in final selection.
Where to aim your next EPDs
If we were prioritizing an EPD roadmap for maximum spec‑stickiness, we’d start with high‑volume narrow‑stile devices like 33A/35A, then cover mullions used with rim pairs, then power supplies that energize EL and QEL kits, then the most common surface and concealed vertical configurations. Add electric strikes that pair with 98/99 in storefront and retail packages. Keep choices aligned to the PCR for builders’ hardware and pick a program operator that your channel sees as the norm. The result is a cleaner submittal set and fewer, faster RFIs.

Why this matters commercially
Many RFPs now ask for product‑specific EPDs, sometimes across the full opening, not just the main device. Without them, teams default to conservative assumptions that can penalize totals and slow approvals. An EPD for each frequent‑flyer SKU keeps the focus on performance and lead time, not paperwork. It is also the kind of ops improvement that pays back quickly on even one mid‑sized project win. That is definately worth the effort.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Von Duprin publish EPDs for its flagship exit devices?
Yes. We find current EPDs that cover representative Von Duprin 22 and 98/99 Series devices, along with selected electrified trims. These give specifiers product‑specific declarations for common, high‑volume openings.
Which Von Duprin items are least likely to have public EPD coverage today?
As of December 25, 2025, we do not see public EPDs for narrow‑stile 33A/35A variants, mullions, CHEXIT modules, electric strikes, and PS9xx power supplies. Prioritizing these closes documentation gaps across typical door pairs.
Who are Von Duprin’s main competitors on EPD‑visible projects?
ASSA ABLOY brands like SARGENT, Corbin Russwin, Yale, Adams Rite, and Norton, plus dormakaba families such as Precision and BEST, and Hager. Several of these competitors publish EPDs for parts of the opening, which can sway specs when declarations are requested.
What’s the smartest sequence to add new EPDs for door hardware?
Target high‑volume device families first, then the small parts that often derail clean submittals. For Von Duprin‑style packages that means narrow‑stile devices, mullions, power supplies, and common strikes, followed by vertical rod variants and popular trims.
