Kawneer KW450388-40 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What is the Kawneer KW450388-40 blank header and T-bar filler actually used for?
The KW450388-40 is a COC blank header and T-bar filler that closes off the header area above an exit device opening in a Kawneer Trifab VG 450 or 451 framing system. The blank profile means there is no functional cutout, it just gives a finished, unbroken header where the device opening is framed, and the integrated T-bar profile seats and aligns the piece in the frame. It is a Kawneer service replacement part, so it is what you order when the original header filler is damaged, missing, or being replaced during a storefront renovation.
2) Will this Kawneer header filler fit a Trifab VG 451 frame, or is it only for the 450?
It covers both. The KW450388-40 is made for Kawneer Trifab VG 450 and 451 architectural framing profiles, and Kawneer builds it to those profiles so it installs without field modification. It will not fit other Kawneer framing families or another manufacturer's storefront system.
3) Does the KW450388-40 work on a 42 inch device opening?
No. This part is sized for a 36 inch device opening in the Trifab VG frame. If your opening is a different width, you need the Kawneer header filler matched to that dimension, not this one, since the blank header is cut to the opening size rather than field trimmed.
4) What finish does the Kawneer KW450388-40 come in, and will it match my existing storefront?
Dark Bronze, factory applied, and it is the only finish this part number carries. Kawneer uses Dark Bronze as one of its standard architectural framing finishes, so it coordinates with a Dark Bronze Trifab VG entrance. If your frames are clear anodized, black, or a painted color, this part number will not match and you would want the same filler in your frame's finish.
5) Does the KW450388-40 come with the exit device or any hardware?
No, it is the header filler component only. The KW450388-40 is a replacement part, so the exit device, trim, and any frame fasteners are separate. If you are rebuilding a header after removing or relocating a device, plan on ordering the device hardware on its own.
6) I'm a property manager replacing a damaged header on a Kawneer entrance. Is this the same piece that came from the factory?
Yes, this is an authentic Kawneer service part rather than an aftermarket equivalent, so the profile and the Dark Bronze finish match what Kawneer supplied on the original Trifab VG 450/451 assembly. That matters on a storefront header because a near-miss profile leaves a visible gap line across the top of the opening.
7) Is this a commercial storefront part or something that works on a residential door?
Strictly commercial. The KW450388-40 belongs to Kawneer's commercial architectural framing line and only has a use in a Trifab VG 450/451 aluminum storefront assembly, the kind found in office entrances, schools, healthcare buildings, and retail fronts. There is no residential application for it.
