Von Duprin 044020 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What exactly is the Von Duprin 044020 part, and what does it do?
The 044020 is a retaining plate kit, a replacement component for Von Duprin 996L-DT/NL Series lever trim. It is the plate that holds the trim assembly in place on the door, sold as a kit so a worn or damaged plate can be swapped out without replacing the whole trim. It is a repair part, not a complete lever trim or exit device.
2) Will the 044020 retaining plate work on any Von Duprin lever trim, or only the 996L?
Only the 996L-DT/NL Series. Von Duprin builds this plate specifically for that trim, so if the lever trim on your door is a different series (a 990, a 996 with a different function suffix family, or a night latch pull rather than lever trim), the 044020 is not the part. Check the number stamped on the trim or the original hardware schedule before ordering.
3) What do DT and NL mean on a 996L trim, and does it change which retaining plate I need?
On Von Duprin lever trim, DT is dummy trim (pull only, no latch retraction) and NL is night latch (key retracts the latch). The 044020 covers the 996L-DT/NL family, so both of those trim functions take the same retaining plate kit.
4) I manage a building with Von Duprin exit devices on several doors. Can I keep the 044020 on the shelf as a standard repair item?
It works as a stocked repair part only if your openings use 996L-DT/NL lever trim. Walk the doors and note the trim number; where the trim matches, one kit per opening gets the trim remounted without pulling the exit device off the door. Openings with other Von Duprin trim series need their own plate kit.
5) Does ordering the 044020 give me everything needed for the repair, or do I need more hardware?
It ships as a complete retaining plate kit, so the plate and its associated pieces come together for a straight replacement. What it does not include is the lever, the trim body, or the exit device itself. If the lever or the trim escutcheon is damaged too, order the trim assembly rather than just this plate.
6) Is the Von Duprin 044020 rated for a high-traffic commercial opening?
Yes. It is a heavy duty, commercial-grade part, which is the category Von Duprin builds for schools, hospitals, offices and other openings that cycle constantly. It is not intended for residential use.
7) Is the Von Duprin 044020 a genuine factory part or an aftermarket copy?
Genuine Von Duprin. That matters on this part because the plate has to index to the existing trim and device prep, and an off-brand plate can leave the lever trim loose or misaligned on the door.
8) Is 44020 the same thing as 044020?
Same part. Von Duprin catalogs the model as 44020 and it is commonly written with a leading zero as 044020. Either number gets you the 996L-DT/NL retaining plate kit.
