98/99™ Options & Accessories

Vertical Rod and Latch Guard — RG-27

Series RG-27 Vertical Rod and Latch Guards protect
the bottom rods of exit devices from the damaging
impacts of carts or gurneys passing through doors.
(If bottom rods become damaged, the exit device
will not function as intended and can jeopardize the
ability to exit safely during an emergency.)

In addition to protecting the vertical rod, the guard
provides a smooth, unobstructed surface so the
door can be pushed open easily with the bumpers
of a wheelchair. The latch guard portion is 10" high.
The standard latch guard features a 45° ramp. The
extended latch guard offers a continuous ramp in
3' or 4' widths.

All stainless steel construction in US32D finish.
Latch guards can cover latches as large as
1

¹ ₄"W x 10"H x 1⁷ ₈" projection.

Less Bottom Rod – LBR

LBR option is available, using a spring loaded auxiliary latch bolt
installed in the lower door edge. When exposed to heat the auxiliary
latch bolt releases, keeping the doors in alignment and closed during
a fire. UL listed 3 hours on hollow metal doors double egress, 90
minute swinging same direction, and 20 minutes wood doors
(consult wood door manufacturer). Fits door stiles as narrow as 3

⁵ ₈".

LBR devices must be ordered in pairs or must be used in
conjunction with an approved automatic or constant latching flush
bolt.

Pullman Latch – PL

When PL is specified the standard latches are replaced with pullman
style latches. Pullman latches are always extended and are most
commonly used in conjunction with electric strikes and LBR-less
bottom rod application. Not available with Fire rated devices. Not
recommended where security is of the utmost since latches do not
deadlock.
