Frequently Asked Questions
What is dogging?
Dogging holds the exit device latch in the retracted position. With 996L-DT installed, customers can pull the lever to open the door because the latch is already retracted by the dogging feature.
Is the lever just for show?
The lever is functional as a pull handle, but it does not retract the latch. The device itself must be dogged.
When would I use 996L-DT vs 990DT?
996L-DT has a lever-style handle (matches your other 996L trim aesthetics). 990DT has a traditional pull handle. Both are decorative-only.
