Strong And Reliable For Everyday Demands

The Von Duprin 22EO panic latch is part of the proven 22 Series, trusted in busy buildings where escape doors must be reliable. Made from steel, it stands up to frequent use and tough conditions.

The touch bar makes operation quick and easy for users to operate under pressure. A deadlocking rim latch secures the door when closed, making it ideal for single doors used as final exits. Supplied with a standard 299 roller strike, it suits conventional door frames with stiles at least 97mm wide.

EN 1125 Compliance For Public Safety

As it is tested and certified to EN 1125:2008, this Von Duprin panic hardware meets the legal and functional requirements for use on escape route doors in publicly accessible buildings. These include environments where occupants may be unfamiliar with the building layout or emergency door operation.

Flexible Options To Suit Different Doors

Designed for versatility, the Von Duprin 22EO is non-handed and can be installed on left or right opening doors. Fixings are supplied for both timber and metal doors from 44mm to 57mm thick. The panic bar is available in two lengths, suiting doors up to either 915mm or 1220mm wide, with a minimum required stile width of just 97mm.

The supplied 299 strike covers most standard frame applications. Where door and frame details vary, such as flush frames or rebated pairs, optional strikes can be ordered separately, contact our team for details. 

The integrated dogging function allows the latch to be held back via a hex key, supporting unrestricted daytime access while preserving the panic function outside operating hours.

Compatible outside access devices are stocked in a lever handle trim and a night latch trim design.
